Nogizaka46: The mandatory monthly.... Asuka Saito post!

 

 Thought by now things would be getting back to normal but that's not quite the case yet. It has been slightly busier for my fave's activities compared to December but only five of the top sixteen from last year's faves list have had a post in the last month. Should stop complaining as it'll be busier soon enough and then will wish it wasn't! Not a huge post but didn't want to go the day without having one but think on Sunday there could be five. Do have a pair of photobooks plus am also writing up a pair of reviews for a film, hopefully the fifth post can be like this one. In some good news discovered that there will be a Spring 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show which will be taking place on March 21st. Those shows are always decent and can get enough pics for about ten posts.

 Asuka is always in attendance at those shows along with about ten other Nogi and Keya members, Hina seems to have more gals take a stroll than the other two group combined! One of the requirements to take a stroll on the catwalk is to be a model for a magazine or site, no problems for Asuka who must be a model for five places. But those pics have really slowed down for her lately as there's zero new modeling pics for today, they've slowed way down for many others too. The title says 'Mandatory Monthly Post' and it's not that I've ben trying to do that for Asuka but guess I should now as she's had at least one post every month since August.

 So while not a huge variety of recent activities there's over fifty new pics and it appears Asuka will be the next person to hit the hard to reach milestone of 200 posts. Granted most of them have been because of so many pics in group posts but she's had close to twenty solo ones since the beginning of 2020. Asuka rarely ever posted pics on her Nogi blog but does a better job with her Instagram page, these are all from the past month and most are from her 'Hamasaka' variety show.

  Doing a post every month means there's not a lot of time for things to pile up. But do have many new     Asuka Nogi cards, this small set is for their 'NogiKoi' series.

 What I've noticed is that the amount of 'Nogi Fes' pics have really increased over the last few months, these are all brand new ones since mid-December.

 Mentioned there's no new modeling pics and this is a bad time of the year for them. But do have a trio of mag spreads, this first set is from the February issue of Nikkei Entertainment.

 Here's something we see often but not as much in 2021. That's of Asuka being the cover girl of a magazine and she has that honor for the January edition of Sweet.

 Will end off with this set which is another cover as Asuka is the 'Woman of the Month' for Tokyo Calendar, following the pics is a video for it.
