Nogizaka46: A little bit of this and that for 2020 #21....


 Lack of new pics for this Mai recently after having quite a few up until mid July and to be honest that's been the case for so many of my bigger faves in the group save for just a few. Not much about the other Mai who is definitely much more popular. She did announce on August 20th that her graduation date is now set and will be taking place on October 28th. It's going to be streamed live on her new YT channel but don't know what it'll consist of, just a special solo farewell video or whatever? Hope that's not the case and hope it's her final concert with Nogi, huge shows still aren't permitted in Japan but they could record one in advance at an empty stadium so there could be some sort of tribute DVD to come out later.



 This didn't seem like it was going to be a huge post picture wise though there are seventy new ones, what there is a lot of is news on upcoming happenings. Few weeks back Kana announced her graduation though no date has been set yet. In a nice move she'll be having her first photobook coming out on October 13th and I always thought she looks so darn good in a swimsuit though think there's only been two pics of that, the first two promo ones for the PB.



 However the sales may not be too high for the book as two weeks before that another Nogi PB will be released. That'll be for Minami and am looking forward to that as to me she's Nogi's most alluring member. Here's a few more promo pics for the photobook though there's many more, her first ever swimsuit pic is in this batch. Saving them for her next post which I hope will be on September 6th.





 Said that date because it was announced two days ago there would be some members attending the September 5th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' Autumn show. Will hopefully be having a few posts for the event and hope it's much better than that ultra lame 'Virtual Tokyo Runway' show from June.






 On September 9th Nogi will be releasing their second 'All Music Video Collection' which will cover all of the videos from single #14 until their 25th. There's many versions of it and the ultimate ones will have four discs, besides the videos there will be some concert footage and some behind the scenes from the making of videos along with a few other new things. There will be a semi-new video on the set which is a second generation tune and have a preview of it at the bottom, these are the covers for the set.






 Last group post had some Erika pics for Furisode Kimonos and their new 'coming of age' ones, have even more from them.








 Mizuki will be at the TGC show and though she often has many pics in these group posts haven't had a solo one for her since January save for her first photobook. May work on one then and these are from the CanCam site, she's an exclusive model for them. Do have many more but will hold on to them just in case I do work on that solo post.






 Have her five page set from their October issue and also have the set for Sayuri. She too is a model for the mag and she too will be at the upcoming TGC show.
EDIT: Oooops, once again my brain was a bit dead as I forgot to mention today is her 28th birthday and she's Nogi's third oldest member though that'll be changing to second in October.











 Misa was a huge fave of mine before her departure and for a while she was my #1 Nogi member. Lately she's been quite busy as have had many new modeling pics in these group posts. Have more new pics for her today, top seven are from the Bijin Hyakka magazine site while the others are for 'Couleur Moi'.














 In 2018 and 2019 Asuka won the award for being the Idol who appeared on the most magazine covers. She won't win it this year as she's been kind of quiet, not overly so but compared to how much she's done the past few years. She's yet another member who will be at the TGC show and these are new pics from the Sweet site.








 Asuka will end off this post with this set from the September 9th issue of Weekly Shonen, she may not appear in as many mags but she usually is the cover girl when she does. Following the pics are that short teaser video that was mentioned near the top for the upcoming music video collection. It's a newish second generation song titled "Yukkuri to Sakuhana", the video is from when they held a special episode of 'Showroom' in March and the quality is much better than the original version.
