Nogizaka46: 2020 Magazine scans #9 plus slightly more....


 Few days ago talked about setting a new record for fastest time it takes to get a million views. Didn't think it would be possible but now it seems likely, as I'm writing this need 13,400 views in two days which is about average so it appears it'll happen, another Nogi post or two would make a new record a guarantee. Bit funny though as it would probably happen Tuesday evening where I reside and won't be on my computer that night when it happens. So on Wednesday, if a new record is set, will have a special post with the usual odd tidbits plus was thinking of having an early preliminary post for my top faves of 2020. Won't happen but would love to see this member at the top be #1 this year.
 Last Nogi post talked about how their latest single "Shiawase no Hogoshoku" has been a bit of a disappointment sales wise. In it's third week just 14,708 copies were sold which could be their lowest total ever for a third week. However all sales have really dipped so there's no doubt the crisis in Japan has affected their sales. As a matter of fact the top single last week just sold about 35,000 copies and only once have I seen a total lower than that. Nogi wasn't going to set a group record for sales with this single but the final total should have been higher than what it'll end up being.



 Sigh, where's my Genie in a lamp when I need one so desperately, only one wish I desire....

 Not a huge post for new happenings as this is the fourth Nogi post in a week, just two new mag spreads though do have a few other bonus pics that you've never seen before or at least here. Such as these from Yuki and since her photobook came out five weeks ago don't think she's had a solo spread. But she is an exclusive model for Bis and these are some pics from their site. Yuki's second PB sold around 4,400 copies last week and total sales are now over 170,000.












 Had been having Nogi cards in solo posts but had gone so long without having any in these group post, usually it was because there were already so many pics. But in the last group post said I would be having many 'NogiKoi' cards in all future posts as there should be a shortage of new pics, especially as there's no events. Will feature four members each post and will try to have the cards for members that aren't the mega stars. Then again hard not to call Erika a non-mega star but she seldom has pics in posts these days and it's been over a year since her last solo post. She has the first eight here followed by Nogi captain Manatsu.

















 'NogiKoi' is a mobile phone game, have never played a game on a phone nor never will as I'm strictly an arcade or computer person when it comes to playing games and it's a shame it's not available for your laptop but haven't checked hard enough. But cards for the game are always available here and the other two members are my biggest Nogi faves which I've been saying for months. That's of course Mai and Hinako and wonder if any other fan would have them in their top two spots?

















 Few weeks ago did a post for the second generation members which was kind of popular but not nearly as viewed as other Nogi posts are. Had a tremendous spread from volume twelve of Platinum Flash and have been putting that spread in these group posts. Have the final two sets from it today with this first pairing featuring Junna and Miria.









 Other pairing from the mag are of Ranze and Rena.









 Could be wrong but the only time I recall Minami being a cover girl was when her first and only photobook came out back in early 2019. She has that honor for the April 9th edition of Weekly Shonen Champion.











 Final set for today is from the May issue of BLT. It features Manatsu and her second photobook came out last week, it sold 37,780 copies to top the charts. But there's no doubt sales were affected by fans staying home but still would have thought the advance orders would have been higher. There's been no recent group CM's so seeing as how Mai wasn't in this post have a new one from her for Tencent Games. Have been working on a solo post for her but there's been nothing new from her for a few weeks save for the CM.
