Nanase Nishino: A little bit of this and that....

 

 Ten posts to go for the magical number of 400 to be reached and can that figure be hit this year? From early September until late December, 3 1/2 months, there were zero posts for Nanase and she's never had a stretch like that before. But now it's three posts in six weeks as at least normalcy has returned with her posts. Going to be tough though getting ten more this year, not impossible but this is shaping up to be a busy year for her so guess it could happen. Talk about her reaching 400 posts and these days it's become a rarity for anyone to make it to a hundred though one should be hitting that mark soon. Nanase did have the advantage of being in Nogi but her last forty or so posts have all been solo ones so she's bucked the trend of most Idols who have graduated and has remained extremely busy.

 Still can't figure out why Nanase's pre-graduation posts were so much more popular, does having Nogi in the title attract that many more viewers? For Nogi's first few years I was just lukewarm about Nanase, no good reason for that but there were so many other first generation members who had drawn my attrention. But these days there aren't many bigger faves of mine than Nanase, would place her as my third favorite gal since 2018 and really going to be curious where she ends up on the second 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list. I'm thinking anywhere from third to tenth and will be doing that second list in little over a year, she's already trying to butter me up and that day is coming up very soon....

 Nanase has been a co-host of the women's talk show 'Gout Temps' for 25 months which means in January she celebrated her second anniversary. For the past few months their three hosts do a bit of modeling when they get introduced, these are from the last five weeks and it airs on Wednesdays.

 But on a more important note Nanase is expanding her acting career. She's okay as an actress but not a stellar one yet and had wished she did more of a variety of roles. Well she is now as she'll be in her first major movie, she's been in two others, that will be coming out on August 20th. Title of the film is "The Blood of Wolves Level 2" and the news of that just came out recently. August is a long way off so sure much more will be coming out about it between now and then.

 And on an even more important note is that she'll be appearing in her first stage play. That'll be starting on February 26th and is titled "Tsukikage Hananosuke Great Reversal". It's be taking place at the Brilla Hall in Tokyo until April 4th and then moves on to her hometown of Osaka. Pics here are from a January 25th press conference and sure we'll be hearing more about soon.

 Activities such as those is why Nanase just may hit the magical figure of 400 posts this year. Have some new pics from the Vogue Girl site but don't think she'll be a regular model for them.

 But Nanase is a model for Non-no and has been since April 2015. Have a few new pics from their site but there's been so few of them this past month for her and most other models.

 But least she had a decent spread for their January/February edition, Non-no is like so many monthly mags as they're doubling up their issues.

 A project that would take a while is to figure out how many times Nanase has been the cover girl of a magazine, has anyone had more than she has the last five years? She has that honor yet again for the February 18th issue of Young Jump and the bottom three pics are from the photo shoot.

 Will end off with a pair of CM's and who would have thought we'd see this dynamic duo together again? Never had thought about it but hope we see them do a few more videos for Asahi Super Dry beer and I like the second one so much more.
