Nogizaka46: Miona, Asuka and Mai at the February 29th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show
Just two posts today but there's an excellent reason for that. Starting either tomorrow or Tuesday will be having the busiest stretch of the year for the next 7-110 days, it'll definitely be one of my busiest stretches ever. Plan on having perhaps seven Nogi posts with two of them featuring pics from their last group photobook. Also will have three or so for Keya, few for Hina, many of some fave actresses, as usual some drama recaps and whatever other new happenings take place. But the best post I bet for most viewers will be of one of the top photobooks of all time, would like to post that PB around March 13th which is exactly three months after it came out. So wouldn't be surprised if there's 35 or so posts the next ten days which should have many to please everyone.
This TGC show took place yesterday under odd circumstances. It was held a the National Yoyogi Stadium in Shibuya and for normal shows it can hold around 15,000 fans. But this wasn't a normal show as no fans were allowed in due to the virus threat but it was streamed live plus just as many photographers were on hand to snap pictures. Nogi performed four songs but was a bit shocked the didn't sing their upcoming single. "Girls Rule" was done which seems to be Mai's signature songs, no pics for her today as I'll be having another solo post for her this week.
Besides the trio for this post there were a few other Nogi members there and will have pics of their appearance in the next two group posts. Miona looked quite sharp representing 'Spick and Span'(?) but the main question still is where is her photobook? Since it was announced it's been pushed back at least three times so other members could release a PB. It just makes so sense to me as the pics have been shot and Miona is more popular than ever, hope the long wait is worth it.
Surprised Asuka hasn't had a second book as she too is immensely popular but has slowed down on her activities such as appearing in magazines. She took her stroll for the 'Cotton USA' brand while the member following her took her walk on the 'R4G' stage. That's Mai Shinuchi who to me looked the best of any member. She turned 28 back on January 22nd but luckily there's been no graduation talk, if management was wise they'd try to keep a few older members to hang in there for a while. Won't have a video today as so many group ones tend to get deleted. But will in some upcoming group posts as if videos from the show are still there after a week they may remain on YT for a while.
