Nogizaka 46: The anomalous 'Miona Hori post' #42.... her final one(?)....

 

 The word final is true to some extent though there's no way this will be Miona's last post here, would really hope I can keep doing posts for her until the end of this Blog and when will that be? But the final one is a bit true as this will be her last one as a Nogi member. Though Miona had her official graduation concert on March 28th she's still had an active Nogi blog but tomorrow will be the last day she can do new entries, think she was semi-active to promote her graduation photobook. The last regular Miona post was a little over a month ago but did have one for her final 'Nogi Under Construction' show. Was hoping to have 2-3 posts this month but that didn't work out as planned. This is kind of a different post as there's no new mag spreads nor events but like all her others it should turn out to be a terrific post as there are 55 new pics and am holding a few back.

 Sigh, you knew the day would come sooner or later but this graduation has gotten me more down than any other one and I've been a J-Pop and Nogi fan for quite a while. As far as Nogi goes you'll be seeing even less posts in the future as I've been trying to ween off Idol groups which has actually been working out well though will always have posts for my bigger faves. Nogi announced the Senbatsu lineup last Sunday for their 27th single and that really disappointed me. Just one second generation member and I'm honestly not even going to listen to the main song. The group is just getting too young for my tastes, will continue to have posts for the members I really like but they're getting much tougher to do.

 So am holding a few recent activities back as so there won't be a large gap between posts. Have to figure that we won't be seeing as much of Miona such as appearing in mags or at events. But she did just open her own site though there's not too much there yet: Miona's site

 Here's the only batch of older pics which are from the Nogi 'Always With You' card series. Will hold on to some older things such as event pics and such as they may be needed in he future.

 For the last five years Miona has been by far Nogi's best blogger on their group blog. I'm really going to miss all of the pics she posts, not just any pics but ones that are always so superb. Hopefully her new site will have many and these are all from the past few weeks.

 Miona doesn't have too many projects lined up for her post Nogizaka career. But she's now a co-host of the 'Oredo' radio show and today was her first time on the show, she was once a co-host on the 'Recon' show for about three years. There pics are from a Real Sound interview that came out on Monday where she talked about her Nogi days and what may lie ahead: Real Sound interview

 Even more superb interview pics which are from the Crank site.

 Miona is still a model for the ar magazine but hasn't had too many spreads this year. But do have some fabulous new pics from their site. She's scheduled to be in a mag coming out on April 28th but sure we won't be seeing enough spreads in the future. Am also holding back pics from her March 28th graduation concert as I'd rather watch it and then do a few posts for it.

 Getting close to the end, doing Miona posts seem to take less time than most others and is that because I enjoy doing them so much? On April 20th her third photobook was released, it's actually a graduation book but by the pics it's very similar to a regular one. Have some promo pics which you've seen in prior posts, top four are the covers.

 Have fourteen(!) new promo pics for the photobook and isn't Miona looking more perfect than ever!? Sure the PB will easily top the charts this week and hopefully it'll sell well as so few books are these days. Speaking of them it's been over five months since the last Nogi book and that's such a long gap for them. Miona's final activity as a Nogi member was hosting the April 19th 'Showroom' where she promoted the new PB and said her farewells, you can view that after the pics.

EDIT: Forget the video as once again one has been deleted from YT, grrrr!!!!
