Nogizaka46: The ultra sensuous and quintessential 'Minami Umezawa post' #14....

 

 You hear many fans say how similar she looks to Mai Shiraishi which is a compliment but personally don't think they look that much alike. To me the person Minami reminds me of so much is Yua Shinkawa and what a huge fave she was of mine, The only reason I stopped posting about her was because she got married in September 2019 and I feel uncomfortable about posting about married women so don't but least it wasn't a shotgun marriage. Both are quite tall and slender but look just so alluring, the age difference is five years but their birthdays are only ten days apart. Don't have any comparison pics for today but will work on that for future posts.

 When I said the Idol posts would be decreasing a bit it's true but don't worry about that happening to my/your massive faves from Nogi, Keya, NMB, SKE and Hina as there will be just as many solo posts as ever. It's mainly the group posts I won't be doing as often but next month hope to have a pair of them for both NMB and Morning Musume who haven't had one in quite a while, in the case of the former at least they've had many solo posts this year.

 But there will be a slowdown on the solo posts for a while but there's a good reason for that. There's no definite date yet but will probably begin the top twenty(sixteen?) countdown in four weeks and I'm looking forward to it as the competition this year is so intense. In those position posts for the lists try to make them quite huge with many current activities so what I end up doing is not as many posts for those who I know will make the list and save those pics for that list post if that makes sense. 

 Minami of course is going to have a high spot on the list and for a while she was battling for #1 but no woman will catch the current leader in a million years! That doesn't take away from anyone else though and for now would say she's in a tie for second so the next month will be key for both combatants. When a position is a virtual tie 95% of the time tend to go with the older female but if third place happens it's still an impressive showing and would say she would be the odds on fave to be number one next year. Minami has had eleven solo posts this year which is the fourth highest for any Idol, there's about seven who have been 10-15 posts. This is a huge post for today and didn't think it would be but bet there's over 85 new pics for today plus some oldies so the total will be around a hundred. Won't be doing a Nogi Halloween post as there's no new pics and have too many other posts to do. But do have some older pics for the holiday, most were in her last post but the last three are new.

 More Nogi cards for their 'NogiKoi' app game, have had so many in these posts tend to lose track of which ones haven't been seen but fairly sure most of these are new for here.

 If you want to be technical you could say the bottom two are for Halloween also. Still waiting for the sixth and final episode of "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken" to be subbed but am losing hope as it's been almost a two month wait, was starting to really enjoy the show. The movie that came out on September 25th did fair at the box office, it was in the top ten for two weeks but think it was predicted to do much better than that. So this will be the final batch of pics for the film which are from an interview that came out three weeks ago with the Model Press site.

 What has ben a success though is Minami's first photobook that came out on September 29th. Don't know what last week's sales were but in the first three weeks it sold 85,400 copies which makes it the third best selling Nogi PB of the year out of six. Sure it'll break the 100 K mark along with having a reprinting as 110,000 were originally printed.

 Gulp, now you can see why Minami's been my all time sexiest Nogi member, whewwwwwww.....

No event was held for the photobook and besides the September 5th TGC show Nogi members haven't been at a regular event for eight months. The Autumn 'Girls Award' show was cancelled so why not go back in time with these terrific sparkling pics from their 2019 Spring show held in May, she took her stroll on the GRL stage.

 Four Nogi members are models for GRL though not Minami. She is a model for With Online and have some recent pics from their site. However these aren't among their best as she is their main model for With's OL clothing and those pics are simply amazing but none in that vein recently.

 The last few months a different Nogi member has joined Mai to be a co-host on the Wednesday 'All Night Nippon' radio show, guess who was the guest host this week?

 Most Nogi members really don't do a good job updating their Blog or Instagram page. Minami is one of the better ones though and these are from the past month.

 Was visiting the Flash magazine site today and found these pics, most are older ones but two are new as she'll be in their upcoming 'Best of Autumn' special edition.

 For some reason these 'massive posts' don't take that long to write and these are my fave kinds of posts to do. That's a mini hint that we've hit the end but will leave off with a huge spread. Minami has probably been the cover girl for twenty mags this year and has that honor for the December/January issue of Entame, she looks so fabulous(as usual) but don't know why the issues were combined. After the pics have a short CM that came out in August for Cup Star noodles.
