Nogizaka46: The spellbinding 'Asuka Saito post' #11....

 

 Have mentioned a few times how it was working out well just including her pics in group posts and it was doing it that way. But thought about it a bit more and decided that Asuka deserves to have solo posts just like any other member and as you can see above this is her eleventh one. But won't go back and grab the pics in group posts for solo ones, for the most part will start from scratch. Probably won't be doing a Nogi group post for another week or more and seeing as how there's seventy new pics couldn't see sitting on them or dividing them into group posts.

 So as the title says this is post #11, there's been a total of ten Nogi members who have hit the 'ten mark' for solo posts. There's also been three from Keya and one from Hina so in all fourteen '46' members have hit double digits. Out of those fourteen gals guess whose posts have the lowest average for views? Obviously it's Asuka or else wouldn't have brought it up, her photobook drew quite a few views but her posts such as this one don't. To me the main reason may be her fan base, in Japan Asuka is extremely popular among the females but not as popular with men. Of course I'd bet 95% of the viewers who visit here are males so perhaps that's the main reason every other '46' member is more popular.

 But don't want it to come off sounding as if Asuka doesn't have a lot of fans here. She does and it's not that her posts don't garner many views it's just that they pale to the other thirteen. Last year Asuka had eight solo posts yet this is her first one for 2020 but bet she has 500+ pics in Nogi's group posts. Have 95 for today with seventy being brand new since mid August, about twenty you've seen in recent posts. These here many have never been seen before even though they are older. They're Halloween cards and am going to try having a few posts for the holiday, definitely can do at least one for Nogi.

 Asuka has been the host of the 'Harry's English Class' radio show since April 2016 though in all honesty she does need to work a bit on the language, good ol' Nao would be available to give tutoring lessons! It airs on J-Wave and some pics from two recent shows.

 Asuka is a model for about five sites and usually has new pics from one of them so she easily could have had so many posts this year. No current pics from the Bis site but do have some from Sweet.

 A magazine that just signed her to be a mode is Vogue Girl and I like this first batch of pics.

 Have discussed the "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken" drama and film in at least twenty posts this year. The drama began back in April which was to lead into the film but that was delayed because of the health crisis. Plus as a downer the six episode series wasn't subbed for it's final three shows but two of them have recently been done. But no word on when the final show will be done and am itching to watch it, will then recap the entire series. A trio of Nogi members are the stars though Asuka's role is probably the largest, these are from the third episode.

 Like her mates Asuka has been making the rounds promoting the movie. These are interview pics from the 'My Navi' site and I really like her expression in the bottom pic.

 More interview pics from the Style Nikkei site.

 There was a premiere for the film a day before it's September 25th release but have already posted so many pics from it so instead have some from the September 5th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show where there was more promoting of the movie. It's first two weeks out the film has placed fifth and tenth at the box office, it's been successful but think it was projected to be a bigger hit.

 Here's a spread I had missed even for a group post from Overture that came out way back in March.

 Have seen Asuka in many Nogi drama and always thought she was just a so-so actress though she often had the lead role. But in the 'Eizouken' drama her character is perfect for her 'talents', she plays Midori who such an introvert yet has such an appealing way about her. This set was in the last Nogi group post and is from the October 19th issue of Big Comic Spirits.

 Asuka doesn't appear in as many mags as she once did but when it happens she's usually the cover girl. For the above she had the honor and also does for this post's final set which is brand new from the October 23rd edition of Friday. I always forget that she can pound the drums and also that Nogi once had a sub group who would play rock versions of their songs at shows. Have a clip of them performing from their 4th anniversary concert and the emphasis is on the drummer.
