Nogizaka46: The virtuous 'Asuka Saito post' #17....

 

 Was going to hold off about ten days and have a mega post with 100+ pics. But have been trying to get away from those huge posts save for Hina group ones and think it's better to have two posts of fifty pics and news info than one with over a hundred pics. As most faithful viewers know this has really been an up and down year for posts so it is wiser to cut down on the size of them. Not an Olympics fan nor have I been following the news about it but isn't it still supposed to take place this July and August in Tokyo? If that's what ends up happening can see those two months being extremely slow for posts as the amount of events, mag spreads and whatever won't bee happening in Tokyo, that'll be a good time to get back to doing some list posts which are popular.

 Asuka will be turning 23 on August 10th, a few weeks after that date in 2011 is when Nogi was formed so their tenth anniversary is fast approaching. That means Asuka was just thirteen at the time so I didn't really pay much attention to her until 2017 which was when she had her first solo post. I really like the way she looks these days and it is kind of nice to post about Idols who don't need to dress skimpy to look terrific. So when Nogi's tenth anniversary happens in late August or early September there will be seven members remaining since day one, among them who will end up setting the record for being a Nogi member the longest?

 Could be wrong and probably am but have the impression none of those seven are in a hurry to graduate. I think that's a wise decision and especially for the way things are these days, no sense leaving such a popular J-Pop group only to be forgotten but someone like Asuka wouldn't. Let's get on to some new pics and am holding some back for her next post. Hopefully that'll be in about ten days and should be the same size as this one. These are two promo pics from Young Jump as Asuka will be the cover girl for their issue coming out in two days and will have the spread in her next post.

 Asuka may do more modeling these days then any other Nogi member, she'll have no problem remaining popular after she graduates which I hope isn't for a few years. This small batch are brand new from the Men's Non-no site, she'll be in their June issue.

 Another small batch of pics from the Sweet site, that second pic rates an A++++!

 Asuka was the host of the radio show 'Harry's English Class' which aired on J-Wave. Say was as her final show took place on March 27th, she had been hosting it for exactly five years. These are from that final show and in all honesty her English skills only improved a small bit.

 Haven't posted all that many Nogi cards in Asuka's posts compared to other members. Have some for today which are promo ones for their online game 'NogiKoi'. What makes these special is that the first eight are all from this year.

 Been noticing that Hina has done many group events this year, none for Nogi and with the new single coming out soon be a nice time for one or two of them. Think there's only going to be two 'Tokyo Girls Collection' shows this year, there was one in February but usually there's about seven. So seeing as how there's no events will go back in time for these superb pics from the July 27, 2019 TGC show. It took place in Toyama which is on the western side of Honshu, Asuka was on the Lowrys Farm stage.

 This set of pics are outtake ones from the final set of pics which are....

 .... from the May issue of UTB. It's large spread at nineteen pics and Asuka is the cover girl, in 2018/19 she won the awards for being the Idol to appear on the most magazine covers. Have moaned a bit these last few months how that's there's hardly any new Nogi group or member videos, that continues for today. So will go back to August 30, 2019 for Asuka's most viewed solo video which is a short movie/CM for Cup Star soup.
