Nogizaka46: The majestic 'Minami Umezawa post' #17....

 

 Unfortunately someone had to follow that above post and let's face it, those pics are impossible to top. However if you're a Minami fan perhaps you'll think these pics top the above, no new gravure ones of course but plenty that rate an A++++ with me. This is the second biggish batch of posts for today, main reason for holding on to so many was waiting for the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show to take place. Like six other posts started this two days earlier than the published date and how I hope those show pics don't disappoint.

 So think the total between the two batches will be fourteen posts but there's an outside shot there will be a pair later on. Won't be doing any posts tomorrow and you may be thinking why do I need another break so quickly? Though there's been no published posts but have been working hard on them the last four days and don't think it's something I'll do often. So out of those fourteen(?) six will be for '46' groups, three for Nogi today. But am planning to have two more for members in the next few days, could have had five for today but wanted to spread them out a bit. February was the slowest month ever I can remember for activities and posts here but think March will be back to normal.

 Have said for over a year how Minami is my all time sexiest Nogi member and it's going to take a lot to change my mind on that thought. So it's kind of odd how I've never thought of her making that all time list for my top 25 hottest/sexiest/alluring/whatever women. Can't think of a reason why she wouldn't be on that list but actually it had never crossed my mind until now. So while Minami has been a long time fave of mine that wasn't the case for most viewers as these kinds of posts didn't get that many views or at least compared to her Nogi mates. But now her fan base has really risen, last year her posts had the 13th highest average of any women and now all her posts make the top ten for most views, she's also had more posts than any Idol since July.

 Let's get to the new pics which as of now total 55 but that's before the ones from the TGC show are added in. Minami's last post was just done a few weeks ago but what a busy gal she is. Her first PB came out last September and usually you don't hear that much from a member after that but seems she's been busier than ever. Only a few new Nogi blog pics for today which is rare for her.

 That bottom pic was from Nogi's ninth birthday concerts held on February 22nd and 23rd. Have skimmed through the shows and don't know if I'll do any posts for them. Am really waiting to see if they'll be subbed or at least some of the segments for besides performing songs there were a few special features and those are the ones I hope will be subbed. So will keep those concerts pending for now and because of a key generation Minami has become the center of the "Synchronicity" single.

 Have come close to exhausting my huge supply of 'NogiKoi' promo game cards. So now have started to have cards from the group's 'Always With You' series which was started about twenty months ago and to me they're the best cards of all. Sigh, she could take my order anytime....

 Few belated Valentine's pics which are new, there was a stretch where there was a big decrease in cards and pics like these but things seem to be getting back to more normalcy.

 Minami has been a model for the With magazine for close to two years, she's part or their OL campaign. She doesn't appear in every issue but always has a large amount of pics at their With Online site and to me they're tough to top.

 So will be taking a break after this set of pics and will be waiting until the TGC show takes place. But could have done this post without those pics as 55 or so are enough pics for a post. Don't know if it's true but these days it seems Minami appears on more mag covers than any other Nogi member. She does for this ultra fabulous spread that's from the March issue of BLT Graph.

 Have returned and it was worth the wait as most '46' members ended up having 15-20 pics from the show. Sayuri was in attendance and will have her pics in a group post but who knows when that'll be. What kind of surprised me is that Yuki wasn't at the TGC show as she's so immensely popular. Wanted to have a post for her too but that may have to wait for another week or two. On to her pics from the show which were of course superb but much prefer how she looked at their March 2019 show.

 Those may be my top Nogi event pics ever, whewwww! Yesterday's show was held at the Yoyogi First Gymnasium arena but no fans were allowed, wonder how the models feel taking a stroll on the catwalk to no applause or fans whooping it up? Music is pumped in but it's not the same, the arena can hold over 13,000 for these kinds of show. Minami did look terrific and perhaps the best of any Nogi member, she took her stroll on the R4G stage. Have a video after the pics from the event, she comes on at the 2:47 mark but it's worth watching most of it as there are a pair of Keya members in it too.
