(ex-)Nogizaka46: Happy 28th Birthday to.... Misa Eto!!!!

 

 Whew, two that may be in my top ten Nogi pics of all time and she'd probably dominate the top one hundred. More of my faves were born in October than any other month but this stretch for the next thirty days has the hugest amount of my mega faves. Number one on 2020's fave's list celebrates a birthday tomorrow as don't three others soon that made the list plus two more Nogi faves. So may have a few more birthday posts coming up, at one time used to do quite a few but that's really decreased the past few years. This is a spur of the moment post as Misa is someone I don't follow as closely these days, hate to admit but at times do forget about her and she just may be my all time Nogi member.

 It's coming close to the second anniversary of Misa's departure from Nogi, end of March will mark that sad occasion. She did get married at the end of 2019 but has stayed busy and wouldn't think children will be part of her immediate future. Usually don't post about women once they get hitched but have been including Misa news in Nogi posts and will continue to do so. This is her first solo post since October 2019, she's only had one other post since her graduation. Now that I think about it she's the only major Nogi star to get married and wonder if we'll soon see many of them follow that path? Of course not for current members but ones that have been gone for a few years.

 This being a 'spur of the moment' post didn't work on this too hard but have about 55 new pics for today. Not all are current new ones but a few oldies you've never seen before plus thought it'd be nice to take a trip down memory lane as she was probably a big fave of many of you Nogi fans. Misa does model for two sites and has appeared in a pair of films but hasn't been as busy as I thought she would be. Misa used to be the co-host of the 'World Baseball News' show for two years but it appears the virus put an end to the show, her hubby is a pro player and via the show is how she met him. But besides that there hasn't been too many other activities, she was also in a 2019 stage play but kind of surprised she hasn't been in any dramas but at 28 in age she still has a few years to do many more things before settling down.

 Let's get on to things, perhaps if you're a newer Nogi fan you don't know Misa so well so this could be a bit of an introduction, she does have many other solo posts. Plus her 2017 PB was one of the group's best, I'd have it my top five Nogi photobooks. Here's a few recent pics from her IG page, she seems to post 3-5 pics one day and then zero for a week.

 Two more for her birthday which were from the Bijin Hyakka site.

 Misa has been a model for the Bijin Hyakka mag for a while, well before she left Nogi. She doesn't appear in every issue but usually has superb new pics at their site.

 Surprised there weren't more pics for the holiday that just passed.

 Back in 2016 did do my only official top ten list for my fave Nogi members, perhaps an all time list should be done at some point this year. She was just second on that list but was only edged by a bit, what an unbeatable duo....

 Shame there's no pic with all three gals vying for the top spot.

 That top pic is certainly an oldie and guess what position Misa thinks she deserves?

 Perhaps she's correct but for now may give the edge to her younger mate but we'll see what happens when and if the list is done. No recent mag spreads, when there have been any have been including them in Nogi group posts. So will go back in time for a pair, this set is from the May 2019 issue of Entame and it was her final spread as a Nogi member.

 One more spread which is from the June 28, 2018 edition of Tokyo Walker Plus and no real reason why I chose this one except for the fact is contains some mighty fine Misa pics.

 Misa had her first lead role in a film titled "It Stopped Raining" that was released on February 7th, was hoping we'd see more acting roles from her but that hasn't happened yet. For the movie she did an interview for it with the Spice Eplus site.

 These pics have never been posted before and are some of the top ones for the day. The film had it's first screening on November 24, 2019 at the 20th 'Tokyo Filmex Festival' and was shown at the Asahi Hall. Doesn't she look so super duper(?), she sure does and actually much better than that. No Nogi member past or present looks better at events, shame there hasn't been any for her in ten months.

 We've hit the end and it's not often we get to take a stroll down 'Nogi's Memory Lane', there's two graduates who get a huge amount of posts but it's very seldom for any other member. Then again there weren't many in Misa's class and will end off with some pics that really need no more superlatives thrown their way. Following the pics is a new video from Bijin Hyakka who are celebrating their 15th anniversary, as mentioned she is a model for the magazine. It's not a solo video but also features a few other faves of mine and you viewers.
