Kind of a big post as there are many pics but not as much variety as the group has been a bit quiet as of late. Would think they're recording the songs for their still untitled single coming out on March 25th along with making all of the videos. Had been thinking whether we'll be seeing an album from them this year. It's only been ten months since their fourth one was released but personally thought it was a disappointment. Out of the fifteen songs four had already been released, two were graduation songs and the Undergirls had a pair so all in all there weren't many new songs. Considering the album in Japan cost about $23 there wasn't a lot of bang for the fan's bucks.
Thought I'd start off with Nanami as in ten days it'll be exactly three years since she graduated. Because she's been so hidden it feels longer than three years and don't think any Nogi fan knows what she's been doing since 2017, she'll be turning 27 on the 20th. Doubt if there will be a b-day post for her as I don't think there's any pics of Nanami that haven't been posted, she still holds the record for Idol solo posts with about eighty.
Still no word on when Miona's second photobook will be coming out but in somewhat good news Mizuki's first PB topped the charts again in it's second week out. However, the total copies sold dropped from 106,000 to 15,700 which is such a huge decrease. That's well over 80% of a drop in sales and bet no fan thought that would happen. The advance pics from it were all so dazzling so wonder if fans are starting to become just a tad tired of books? Nogi has had about forty or so since 2015 so sooner or later a peak has to be hit and the numbers will start declining.
The group better not hope too much as there's a pair of books coming out soon along with the single. Haven't heard any news of any members of Keya or Hina having any photobooks this year but there's a few gals from those groups who I really would like to see have one. Began off with some V-Day pics, that takes place on Friday so why not have a few more from 2017.
That's Sayuri who ended the above batch off and think her graduation will be taking place in about two weeks during one of the group's 8th Birthday concerts. Will try to have a farewell post for her, don't talk about her often enough in group posts but I've always liked her quite a bit as she's one of Nogi's more interesting members and was always quite funny on their 'BINGO' shows.
But will still continue to follow her career and have included news of any graduates who I was a fan of. Misa was definitely one and the end of March will mark her first anniversary of leaving Nogi. She has a new film that just came out titled "It Stopped Raining" and she has the lead female role in the movie. These are interview pics she did for it with the 'Spice E-Plus' site.
The film had it's premiere Saturday at the Cinemart in Shinjuku. In the movie Misa plays the role of Koyomi who runs a taiyaki shop in a small town. There's a university student who often drops in to buy her specialty and they become friends quickly. But soon after Koyomi is in a car accident where she falls into a coma, seems like both a love story and a tearjerker.
Yuki is the member who will have the next photobook and that will be coming out on March 10th. She's been in so many mags recently and sure she'll be in many more to promote it, the advance pics I've seen are simply terrific. She's the cover girl for the March/April edition of CM Now.
Actually wish Hinako would have another PB but the odds are probably very low that it'll happen. But she will be the star in the next episode of 'Nogi Cinema' and I can't wait for that.
Just one more spread to end things off which is from the February 18th issue of Flash. It's actually two sets of pics, the first batch features the group while the second one is once again with Yuki. After the pics have a fine video for the making of the CM Now spread.
