Nogizaka46: The illuminating 'Mai Shinuchi post' #10....

 



 Don't know how many have viewed her first and only photobook, sure not all that many so above is the link to check it out. I thought it was a superb PB and the photo shoot took place in Thailand. Yesterday was talking about how I needed to work a bit hard to have another monthly post for the second generation members. Did attempt that but said to myself there's no way it's going to happen as really only two members seem to have a lot of new pics which has been the case for way too long.

 But discovered once again that Mai has a decent amount of current pics and said why not do yet another unpopular post for her? Say unpopular as her posts get the least amount of views than any Nogi member and that's a shame as she's been in my top five for fave members for quite a few years. Right now would place her in third place but with a graduation on the horizon can see her taking over second place and isn't that far from being my #1.



 This may only be Mai's tenth solo post but this now makes three straight months with one and no other member can say that. However in group posts she may have more pics than anyone the last two years so could have set them aside and have had this her fifteenth or so solo post. Exactly a month ago Mai turned 29 and is Nogi's oldest member. Lot of fans don't like it when an Idol gets 'too old' but my opinion is the opposite. I'd like to see a few Nogi members stay until they're thirty and I've always thought gals look better at thirty than twenty. Few SKE members are about to hit thirty in age or are close to it, with this health crisis going on doesn't make much sense graduating now. Hmmmm, seems as though she wants me to wrap up this intro so start on her favorite pastime....





 So while it's going to be difficult having a monthly post for second generation members on a consistent basis will just be having one when possible. So with this being three months in a row with a Mai post perhaps that should be my new goal and to have one each month for her. Don't know if it can happen but if there's eight or so this year that's be close enough for me plus there are some oldie activities I could always get to. For today have 35 new pics from the last month plus some nuggets from the past that have never been posted before. As mentioned Mai just turned 29 in age, that took place on January 22nd and some blog pics from that day save for the first one which is out of this world.






 Of course that bottom pic is from three years ago. In most solo posts have been including older 'NogiKoi' promo game cards as I had gone so long without posting any. Have some for today but in her next post will have some newer regular monthly group cards.












 Mai is a model for the andGirl magazine but didn't check their site for any new pics as I may need many for hopefully a March post. But do have some splendid pics from the Oggi magazine site and this April marks her second anniversary with them.









 Two days ago Mai was the co-host of 'Showroom' and her partner needs no introduction, will have the video of it at the bottom of the post.












 Only five Nogi members are scheduled to attend the next 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show taking place on February 28th. Mai isn't one but has appeared at about ten of them over the years and was once an emcee at a show, I've always liked her classy style and these are from the April 6, 2019 show.















 The last two Mai posts have had some outtake pics from her photo shoot for the January issue of UTB and think they may be better than the spread.







 Though until now never had the spread and this batch of pics will end the post off but after them check out Mai from Tuesday's 'Showroom'.
