Mizuki Yamashita: Her extraterrestrial acclaimed 19th post!!!!

 

 Don't know if little green men are jumping up and down but they could be as this is Mizuki's first post in eleven weeks! Really no reason for that gap as there easily could have been 2-3 posts in that stretch, think it was a case of me saying' Will do a post tomorrow' and that day never arrived. So while this is a big post at 65 or so pics it could have been twice as big so in about two weeks will have another post for the things missed since early February. Mizuki is one busy woman outside of Nogi, she'll be the first active member to appear in a Asadora though it won't be starting until the Autumn, she's appeared in many other dramas and variety shows outside of the group.

 

 So while that's good for Mizuki it's also a problem with her and other members. These days you seldom see Nogi do things as a group such as being in a Nogi drama, doing mag spreads together, appearing at events and whatever else. From 2012-17 the first and second generation members were so close and did too many activities together to count. But beginning with the third generation the members they seem to go their own way and have a strong feeling that's another reason for Nogi's huge drop in popularity. While the members are popular Nogi as a group isn't as much these days and bet fans notice how distant the gals are, I enjoy doing 'Pairs Posts' for the members but have never done one of those posts with members from the third generation, will it ever happen?

 That's no knock on the members who have worked hard to become popular but you'd think Nogi's management would try to instill that 'group camaraderie' again to win back some fans. Shame there's no new pics like the ones above and wonder if Mizuki will ever have a second photobook? Her first came out in January 2020 and has sold close to 200,000 copies, while it's nice to see some members finally have a book would like to see some have a second or even third photobook. Have a little bit of many things for today and let's start off with some recent pics for the 'Nogi Fes' card series.

 Ooooh, speaking of photobooks almost forgot to mention that next Sunday will be posting my #1 Nogi member's second book which is truly magnificent....

 This small batch here is from the CanCam magazine site. Mizuki is a model for two companies but all in all have noticed such a huge drop this past year in modeling pics for the members of the '46 groups and not sure of the exact reason for that save for some graduations.

 Another decrease which I've mentioned often is of magazine spreads, there's just as many Idol spreads these days so where are the Nogi/Keya members? Wasn't that long ago when Mizuki used to have two spreads a month but just have one for today which is from the May issue of Cancam. It's not a solo spread but I actually prefer her mate who is also overdue for a post....

 Peach John is a lingerie brand and they've had many hotter than hot Idol models in the past. But they've all been graduates and last Summer Mizuki became a model for them though of course doesn't do lingerie pics which is a shame for many of you and me! This batch here is for their Spring collection and here's a terrific video of the photo shoot: Peach John video

 So when I was grumbling about the lack of group events on April 7th Mizuki attended one solo. It was to help celebrate the 70th anniversary of Chocola BB and a new CM she has for them. You can view that CM here and after the pics is a video of the event: BB CM
