Nogizaka46: The exquisite yet medium sized(?) 'Minami Umezawa post' #21....

 

 Wouldn't say 45 or so new pics is that medium sized but thought this post would be much larger. That's because was thinking that Minami hadn't had a post since early June and this would be a large post. However there was one done for her on July 7th so many of those pics I thought would be new were in that post but once I have the urge to do a post for someone nothing will stop me! Next month Minami and the other third generation members will be celebrating their fifth anniversary of being Nogi members. So the dozen joined on September 4th but didn't appear at a concert until December and their first single was the March 22, 2017 song "Influencer". That song has sold a little less than 1.1 million copies, their last single hasn't even hit 700,000 copies sold yet and it came out two months ago.

 To me Minami is Nogi's sexiest member ever and wonder how she would stack up against other Idols? That's a good question and one I have no clue on, one day will eventually get around to doing that 'Top Twenty Hottest Idols of All Time' list. Nogi is on a mini Summer tour that began three weeks ago and goes until September, they usually do two shows in a city. So thought this would be a slow period for member posts but actually it's been one of the better stretches this year. Lot of pics were probably taken a month or so ago so bet that slow stretch could be right around the corner.

 Whew, not many gals make my blood boil these days as much as Minami does! So mentioned that September 4th is the fifth anniversary for the third generation members, on that day this year is the Autumn/Winter 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show. Checked their site but no Nogi, Keya or Hina members are listed yet but sure over twenty will be taking a stroll on the catwalk. Minami always is at those shows and save for one Keya member on occasion no Idol looks as alluring as she does at them, pics here are from the October 2019 TGC show.

 Few new promo cards for the 'NogiKoi' app game but some may have been in her last post.

 Minami does now have her own Instagram site but compared to other members doesn't post enough pics but most rate an A++++! Such as the top two which were from a recent With magazine photo shoot, bottom two for a reason could be my top pcs of the bunch and the three above that are from another photo shoot that was for Maquia.

 Here's the Maquia spread but only two pages for Minami and she did share one.

 Sure everyone knows who is in the bottom pic as she's been the most popular woman here for close to two years. Of course that's Yuki and at 152 cm is Nogi's shortest member while at 170 cm Minami is the group's tallest gal, I'm surprised after five years how few pics there are of them together.

 Smallish batch here from the With magazine site but least they're all fabulous. Last year Minami finished in the eighth position on the yearly fave's list, would think she'll be in the top ten again. But what's going to hurt her and other Nogi gals is the decrease in activities. There's been no group dramas nor any kind of TV specials and zero group events. That's been the case for many Idol groups but then again it hasn't stopped Hina at all and it's hard to keep up with their activities.

 Will end off with a super duper spread, Minami is once again a cover girl and this set is from the September issue of Bubka, bottom two pics are from the photo shoot. Nogi now has their own member's YT channel and will have the link for it, it just started in June and guess who had the first video? Of course the answer is obvious and you can view it after the pics:
