Nogizaka46: The unscandalous 'Asuka Saito post' #15....

 

 Another post started two days ago and actually all of the six(?) '46' group posts were mainly written up on Friday and was waiting for the TGC show to take place to finish them. Went a long stretch without any Asuka posts, all of 2020 up until October and have no good reason for that. She always had many pics in group posts and there's really been no busier member this past year so she should have had about four more of these. But this now makes five since October and even two of Asuka's posts made the top ten for most views which didn't happen all that often for her first ten posts.

 It's been  four years since Asuka's first and only photobook was released, what a huge seller it was at over 200,000 copies sold and will we see another? Hope so as she was eighteen at the time and she looks so much better these days, in August she'll be turning 23. Would have to think it's been Asuka's choice not to have a second one as I'm sure management would like to see another PB along with whatever publisher. Not a good time for books these days so perhaps around her birthday would be a good time. Speaking of birthdays Nogi just had a pair of concerts for their ninth, do have the shows but won't be doing any posts for them unless they get subbed as a lot more took place than just the music.

 

 On March 29th the remaining eight first generation members will be having a concert, that'll be a day after the second generation hold a special and sad graduation show. Kind of hope that both shows just feature eight members as that stage gets so crowded at times and it's hard to focus on just one gal. Have some new Nogi cards for their ninth birthday.

 Sure you fans have noticed I post quite a few Nogi cards but mainly they're the monthly group ones or for their 'NogiKoi' app game. There is another collection which you'll be seeing many of in the future called 'Always for You' and they're a solid set of pics, here's a few brand new ones.

 Bottom card wasn't from the collection but it's new and a darn fine one. A rarity is when Asuka appears in a mag and isn't the cover girl. However that once a year occasion did just happen and this spread is from the February 22nd issue of Big Comic Spirits.

 It's Friday and like the other '46' posts will be taking a break and finish this off after the TGC show takes place. Asuka will be the back cover girl for the next special edition of BLT White Graph and their pics are always tremendous, another Nogi member has the front cover and these are advance pics.

 

 Have made my return and while this won't be the first post in the batch of nine it's the first one I've finished. Guess you could say the wait of 2-3 days was worth it as every post that was waiting for pics from the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show will have an extra 15-20 pics. The event took place on February 28th and like their last show in September it was held without an audience but streamed live from the Yoyogi First Gymnasium arena. The models in attendance weren't promoting the mags or sites they usually represent, Asuka took her stroll on the Evris stage. Since I started this post many pics from the GRL site have come out so it shouldn't be too long until her next post. Isn't Asuka really looking so much more grown up these days? I think she is and at the moment there's no solo video of her from the show so after the pics have a group one from it, watch it quick as often they're deleted. If it is will come back to replace it as I sure other videos from the show will be coming out
