Nogizaka46: The sixth splendiferous though slightly mini... 'Yuki Yoda bonus post' for 2021!

 


 Slightly mini because this is the true definition of a 'spur of the moment' post. Was only going to have one regular post again today but it's been like that for five consecutive days so thought I could squeeze this in which should please her massive fan base. My plan was to have a huge post on September 5th for Yuki with about a hundred pics but thought wouldn't two posts of fifty or so pics work out better? To me it sounded like a sound plan so expect another post for Yuki in two weeks, this is also her third post since July 1st which is another reason there won't be as many pics as usual. Nogi is in the midst of their mini Summer tour where they're performing fourteen concerts. That was the original schedule but their final concert at the Tokyo Dome has been cancelled and heard a few more may be due to stiffer restrictions, been a tough year if you're a fan of J-Pop.



 Don't need to keep titling these 'bonus posts' but will continue to do so as it's been a lucky charm for Yuki. First titled one a bonus post back in March 2020, since then she's become the most popular gal here by a wide margin so don't want to jinx her with changing the title. This is also Yuki's sixth post for 2021, she also had two in December which counts for this year so she's qualified for the yearly top twenty faves list for the first time. Figure about 28 will end up qualifying which means eight will be left out but not Yuki. She will make the list but like the other Nogi members who will be on the list it won't be in the top ten. Sure there's been many posts for my fave members but there's been such a shortage of activities like events, dramas, special Nogi shows and even mag spreads to an extent. But then again that's been the case for so many others in 2021, who knows when things will be semi normal again?
 


 In two weeks the Autumn/Winter 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show will be taking place. In a very nice surprise Yuki will be one of five Nogi members at the show and it's only going to be the fourth time she's taken a stroll on the catwalk. So will have a post that day or the following one with many pics from it, will be tough to top how she looked at the March 2020 TGC show....











 Doesn't she look so tremendous in that bottom pic? There may be another post a few weeks after that next one as Yuki is the cover girl for the new issue of BLT White Graph which comes out quarterly. She's the fifth Nogi member to grace the cover and the pictorials are often close to fifty pics. It came out ten days ago and was #1 on the photobook charts last week so look forward to seeing that. Some promo pics for the pictorial, few you've seen already and others are brand new.








 Yuki is one busy model this year and perhaps the busiest of all Nogi members. Top six are new from the GRL site while the others are from Bis. She's in their new issue but only had three pages, am holding back her Maquia site pics and September spread for that next post.















 Have no clue why Nogi members are so bad at posting pics and info on their group blogs. Hina does such a fantastic with their group blog and it's been paying off for them, these are the only pics from her this past month.






 But do have some mighty fine Nogi group cards. All are new from the past few months and feature cards for their 'Always With You, NogiKoi and Fes' collections.




















 For a spur of the moment post this turned out to be a decent one. Nogi's next tour concerts are supposed to be in Fukuoka which is Yuki's hometown, they should be held but at this point it's not 100% that they will happen. Final set for this post is a fabulous spread from the August 20th issue of Friday which has more promo pics for the special BLT White Graph mini photobook. Following the pics is a new Yuki CM for OK Drive/77 Bank.
