Kana Nakada: Her first post-Nogi post.... part two....
Kana's first solo post was just five days ago and wanted to wait at least five more days for this one. But that post was much more popular than I thought it would be so why not be a bit early with this second one? Think there will be at least two more in this vein in the next month and will conclude this mini series with a post for her fabulous 2020 photobook. May not be many posts after that but will follow Kana's activities and if a post can be done will do. Gave most of her bio info in that first post with the most important bit being about Kana's talent at Mahjong. She still appears on many TV shows playing and hosting the game, it's very popular in Japan but even though there's leagues and tournaments don't think you can support yourself by just being a pro player.
In that first post mentioned how Kana had one of Nogi's most underrated figures. Discovered that with the above pic which was from Nogi's second group photobook, there was another alluring pic in that book too and did post the entire book about five years ago. So when I said that last post was Kana's first ever solo one was only half right. Just remembered that two years ago did a review of her 2014 movie "Death Blog". Back in 2014 there was a trio of low budget horror films that had a Nogi member as the lead in each and did review them all. "Death Blog" was the best of the three and I thought Kana did a decent job in the movie, shame she's never done much more acting.
Not a huge post, would rather have four more medium sized posts than three large ones. Kana graduated from Nogi at the end of October 2020, it was kind of overshadowed by another graduation so don't think she had her own farewell concert though she did deserve one. This batch of cards here are her final ones for Nogi that are from October and September 2020.
That last post had four older mag spreads, though I always had Kana things in Nogi group posts know many of them may have never been posted. Have at least ten more spreads to post so will have three in each of these posts and there will be no order to them. UTB is the mag she's appeared the most in, this is a real oldie spread from their October 2016 issue and she was 22 in age at the time.
Another set from UTB and this is from their May 2017 edition, some of the pics are similar to the above ones so this may have been a part two.
Final Kana spread for this post is from the September 2018 issue of EX-Taishu.
As mentioned in the beginning will be posting Kana's first and probably only photobook soon. But not sure exactly when, first there's another Nogi book that I'll be doing on June 1st so maybe two weeks after that? Here's a few pics from the photobook and it's one stupendous set of pics. The trailer for the "Death Blog" movie is after the pics.
