Nogizaka46: A little bit of this and that for 2020 #16....
Hadn't realized it until a few minutes ago but there was a group post done on June 9th, however this is just the second group one in the past month. A stretch like that has never happened before and know many need their 'Nogi fix' as these group posts are usually so much more popular than ones for members. Though only two of these posts so far for June at least there's been plenty of other Nogi posts such as four recaps for their 'Nogi Cinemas' drama and a trio for Miona who to my surprise has become such a popular gal here.
Though a slow month will hopefully be ending June off in style as next Saturday there will be a 'Girls Award' show. Originally it was supposed to take place on April 22nd but was cancelled for obvious reasons. This upcoming show will be held in an empty arena save for cameramen and photographers but many of the gals I like to post about will be there. Think five Nogi members will be in attendance so expect many pics from the event and will include a few other things in those posts. Can't think of the last time I led off with Kazumi who I would place fifth on my all time 'Fave Nogi Members' list. She is such an underrated beauty and in my eyes she'd probably make for the best wife of any present or ex-Nogi member, perhaps then I should have her higher than fifth?
Didn't add up the total amount of pics but this should be a fairly large post which hopefully brings a wide grin to most faces. It could have been bigger but wanted to save a few pics for those upcoming posts from the 'Girls Award' show. This weekend Nogi aired a special '46 Hours TV' show, it lasts about that long(46 hours) or about fifteen hours each day from Friday to today. Think it's their third special with that theme and the other pair were fairly decent but it's so long mainly watched the segments with my faves.
Will be doing that again for this special and would like to do a few posts for the show. It is available but what I'm waiting for is subs to be done for it which may take a week or longer as it's such a long show. That's okay though as I have plenty of other things to view, way too many if you ask me. What I've seen so far has been quite good though as mentioned just watch the parts with my faves, the only negative thing is that Mai didn't appear on it and guess she won't be doing any more Nogi activities?
A bit of a disappointment is that it appears the subbing for the 'Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken" drama has been aborted. The series lasted for six episodes, the first three shows were done but the third was completed at the beginning of May and no word since then if the project will be completed. That's a shame as it was a decent show, the drama was a lead in to the movie which was postponed and perhaps they're waiting to finish the subbing for when the film is released?
Asuka will be at next Saturday's show along with Mizuki. These top seven pics feature her and are from the CanCam site, the rest are from their June issue.
There was a special mini series which aired on Abema-TV called 'Nogizaka Around The World'. It's been a passable show and they have been subbed but can't decide whether to do some posts with Hinako and Miona who took their trip to New Caledonia. Three pairs of members went to a different location and those gals were featured in the new issue of Friday dated for June 26th.
Yuki's second photobook continues to sell well and it's approaching 200,000 for sales. Am waiting for it to drop out of the top ten for sales and when it does will post the pics from the PB. That book does have some amazing pics but she's back to her more conservative style which is fine by me. These top five pics are of her from the July edition of UTB while she shares the rest of the pics with Momoko from the May issue of BLT.
Don't know if Minami will be at the 'Girls Award' show but am keeping my fingers crossed that she will. Am also hoping her segments on the '46 Hour Nogi TV' special will be subbed as I'll definitely do a post or two for her as she also had a mini solo camping trip that was aired on the special. These terrific pics are new ones from the With Online site.
Will be ending off with Mai who in my eyes is such an alluring woman and is so vastly underrated. No graduation rumors have surfaced with her which is surprising as she'll be turning 29 next January and am hoping she'll stay until she's thirty or perhaps much older. The first batch of superb pics are new from the Oggi site while the others are from the Nogi special show I've been talking about. There are many videos on YT from the show but won't post any as they'll probably be deleted which happens to too many of their videos. So will go back in time for an encore view of their first beer CM which was for Asahi Super Dry that has a quartet of older members. The question is was there really beer in those cans?
Really good posts of all models photoshoots, Kazumi is my number 1 Nogi model. Looking forward to see the Nogi new shows. Nogi around the world is just perfect.
