Kana Nakada: Her first post-Nogi post.... part one(?)....
Never mind the title but this is her first ever solo post, hard to believe it but she had zero when she was with Nogi. Did have a fair amount of Kana pics in group posts but not nearly enough as there could have been plus didn't always label those posts with her name. So the plan is to have about four posts for Kana that will feature her mag spreads from 2015 until now, mainly solo ones as there's at least sixteen of them but not all were posted. One other thing is that many semi-popular Nogi members tend to be forgotten about after they graduate and it's often been that their solo career hasn't gone well which is the case for 98% of all Idols. If this works out well may pick another member or two but none have as many things as her to post about. Always did enjoy Kana when was with Nogi and she was often the highlight of their early variety shows. Never thought she had the most attractive face in the group but had thought for so many years she definitely had the most underrated figure in Nogi, whew....
What these four magazine posts are going to lead up to is a fifth post which will be for Kana's first and only photobook. It's really a terrific set of pics and these four at the top are from the book. Thought to myself why just do a post for the photobook and forget all about her again? That didn't seem right and not sure of it but bet Kana has some fans here and think they'll enjoy these five posts, may also get her a few new ones. So will spread these magazine posts out to about mid June and have her book then. On June 1st will have another book for a real mega fave of mine and many of you viewers too, this pair of books may be the final ones I ever post for someone from Nogi.
But these posts will have more than just 4-5 magazine spreads as there's so much that was missed up until her October 2020 graduation. Know there has to be many cards, event pics and many other things that were overlooked plus will have newish pics in most posts. Mentioned cards and have some for the 'Nogi Koi' series that came out in 2020, not her final batch but close to it.
Some pics from a May 2021 Model Press interview which was quite interesting, here's the link to it and it's worth reading if you're a fan: Model Press interview
The main topic in that article was Mahjong and how many know how unbeatable she is at the game? Kana certainly is and last year passed the exam to become a Mahjong pro player. She's opened her own cafe for the game and also has hosted some Mahjong shows which is quite popular in Japan and of course still enters a lot of tournaments. May not be a popular topic for an Idol but being such a whiz at Mahjong will keep her in the spotlight for a long while.
That's a new pics above from her IG page, will have more in upcoming posts and Kana is looking a bit more attractive these days, she'll turn 28 on August 6th. So will have four mag spreads in these posts, possibly five at times if they're smallish ones. There's going to be no order to them but all will go from 2015 to her most recent one that will end the post. Think this is her first her solo spread which is from the August 2015 issue of Bubka.
How about another super duper Bubka set that's from their March 2019 edition.
So as mentioned the final post in this mini series will be for Kana's first and only photobook that was released on October 13, 2020 which was two weeks before her graduation. There were a few spreads to promote the book and this set is from the October 23rd issue of Friday.
While this is Kana's first solo post almost did one back in December for her. She was the cover girl for the December 20th issue of WPB, her first time having that honor but I promptly forgot about trying to do a post and the bottom two pics are from the photo shoot. These days it isn't easy to find newish videos that don't feature her playing Mahjong and as mentioned there's a good reason for that! Have one following the pics of Kana playing in a TV match two weeks ago and those videos are popular.
