Nogizaka46: The first solo post for.... Mizuki Yamashita!!!!
You don't have to wait long for her second solo post as it's the one right below this! But it's mainly a mini post to let you know her 2019 drama "Video Girl Mai" is about to be recapped, have some mag spreads in it along with many screenshots from the first two shows. Last Nogi group post said I probably wouldn't do any solo posts for Mizuki or at least for a while. However think the next one to two weeks will be slow ones for new group activities so decided to break the ice for her, actually wouldn't be shocked if there's another post next week for her. That is if Mizuki can ever gobble down that Nao creation....
Most of this post will be devoted to her first photobook that came out today, will save those things for the end. On January 9th Mizuki and three other Nogi members had their 'coming of age' ceremony which takes place when you turn twenty in age. She had a long wait for her ceremony as Mizuki had turned twenty in July.
Mizuki has been an exclusive model for the CanCam magazine and site for two years, think they may have been the ones who published he PB. The first set of pics are from an interview she did with them for the book while the others are new modeling pics from their site.
This will be a somewhat big post but not as huge as I intended, think it's a wise idea to hold back a few pics for her next post. Title of Mizuki's first photobook is "Unforgettable People", there's little doubt they'll forget her once they view the pics from the PB. Have posted some of these before which are advance pics from the book though some are new. Can remember Mizuki from when she first joined Nogi some years back and always thought she was a bit on the conservative side but after looking at these pics think I may have been mistaken.... gulp! That first pic is something else but also have a few brand new ones further on down the post which are too fabulous to describe.
No new Mizuki spreads but did have one in the last group post, too soon to post it again. So will go back a few months for this superb spread from volume three of Platinum Flash.
As you may have noticed in the advance pics the PB was shot in Paris and there aren't many European countries the members haven't traveled to for a photobook. The PB was released today and there was also a fan meeting session at the HMV Bookstore in Shibuya.
Last thing for this post are five new promo pics for the PB and I'm kind of in awe at how alluring Mizuki looks, this book is going to be one huge seller. There was an initial printing of 140,000 copies but bet the total in week one will be close to 100 K so there will be another printing very soon. As is the case with almost all Nogi events there's no video for it and can never understand why so after the pics is a video of Mizuki promoting the book on last night's 'Showroom'. Whew, how about those top and bottom pics....
