Knew there was going to be a slowdown on Nogi group posts this year but thought it wouldn't happen until the second half of the year. Unfortunately was wrong with that prediction as the slowdown has already started, it's been close to three weeks since the last group post. With so many first generation members leaving there's just not as many gals I follow, few from the third but never will post any pics of the fourth generation members. But seems like those members have been dominating the new mag spreads and other Nogi pics lately, there will be a 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show next Saturday so hopefully can have a group post or a few solo ones for my faves.
None of that affects Mai as I usually save most of her pics for solo ones such as this, she's been a bit busier this year as this is already her third post. Do have a good amount of pics for today but am holding some things back as I'd like to have another post next Sunday. Mai will be at that TGC show so should be plenty of fine pics from that plus do have a pair of mini mag spreads for that post.
Mai's 2017 photobook "Passport" had another reprinting to bring the total to 400,000 and to date the amount sold has been around 360,000 copies. However she's about to lose the title of having the best selling PB of all time as someone is now just 15,000 copies behind the record and that should be broken within the next two weeks.
To celebrate the reprinting there's a new cover for it which is just below. Don't understand why there couldn't have been some sort of expanded version as who really cares about a new cover? Or why couldn't a second version have been released as there must be hundreds of outtake pics from the photo session, know so many fans want to see another PB from Mai including me.
Most of this post will be devoted to her new film "Secret identity 2" which came out on Friday. It's Mai's biggest role to date in a major movie and would have to presume she's going to concentrate more on her acting career once she graduates from Nogi which will be taking place in about six weeks. Mai has been making the rounds doing many interviews for the film and have plenty of pics from them today. Will have more in her next post too and these are from Yahoo Japan.
Even more superb pics from the Crank website.
Have two more batches of interview pics as she does look terrific. first five are from Mantan Web while the others are from Walker Plus.
For the most part Mai's mag spreads form the past two years have become so tame and conservative, really can't complain as she still does look ultra perfect in the sets. She 's the cover girl for the new issue of Flash which is dated for March 3rd.
Will have a bit more variety of things in next week's post. The current series 'Nogizaka Cinema' has just been a so-so watch to date, have recapped the first five shows. Mai will be the featured member in episode ten and looking forward to that. "Stolen Idenity 2" was released on Friday and on that date the premiere for it was held at the TOHO Cinemas in Hibiya. Plenty of fine pics from the premiere and she always looks so classy at these events. Couldn't find a video from the event, usually there's none for Nogi events but often there is one when a member appears solo at one. So after the pics have a fun new group CM for Baidu.
