Mai Shinuchi: Yet another.... 'Just because I can't get enough of her' post!!!!

 

 Know 99% of you viewers will like today's photobook post so much more but these are the kind I prefer doing and has she had so many of these the last seven months! This makes it an even dozen posts for Mai since mid-December and she's in second place as far as posts go for 2022, who would have thought something like that could ever happen?! When Mai was with Nogi her solo posts drew less views than any other member but have a feeling she did have a solid fan base here. And that base seems to be increasing as her posts may draw a hundred more views than they did a year or so ago, wonder if having so many posts for someone does that?

 Can't always fulfill my promises or goals but one is working out. Had a goal to have a post every month for Mai after her Nogi graduation and so far have been able to do that. As a matter of fact she's now had at least one post for ten consecutive months and as of now no one else can say that. Have mentioned here and there how there's no clear front runner for this year's faves list, usually four or so break away from the pack which hasn't happened. So this could be the most interesting and difficult fave's list to date though of course will first have the second 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list which will begin in a month. Mai will make the cut for that and if I had to pick who my #1 for the year was as of today would have to choose her! Bet that's a surprise and in all honesty don't think she'll remain there but wouldn't mind seeing that happen.

 In most of Mai's recent posts have been including screenshots from her February 10th graduation concert. Have a few more for today and think I may have only one more batch of them, it was a solid sendoff but wish more songs had been performed. Always forget to begin working on a 'Pairs Post' for the first member in the screenshots and wonder if it'll be possible, the other graduate has a post coming up very soon too. What I also keep forgetting to do is have screenshots of Mai's solo video for Nogi's 27th single. The video is six minutes long and it's a story of her trying to reach her friends house but meets so many difficulties, will have those pics in her next post.

 Mai posts a fair amount of IG pics but wish she had more as they look so terrific, she's with another Nogi grad in the bottom pic. She's been in three stage plays this year and will be in a fourth one starting on July 28th, more about that in her next post.

 Up until mid 2019 used to post so many Nogi cards and even had a few posts devoted to them. But for the next two years I really slowed down on them and not sure why so there's been many older ones you've never seen from 2020/21. Just wrapped up posting all of Mai's cards from 2021 and will also be doing for most of 2020. In her last post had some for December of that year and will be working backwards as this batch is from November.

 One thing mentioned a few times is that I'm kind of disappointed Mai is no longer a model for the Oggi magazine. She left them in April and her pics at their site were always fabulous, really hope she does more modeling in the future. Doubt if we'll be seeing her in many future mags but do have one mini spread from the June 23rd issue of Weekly Bunshun.

 That spread was only four pages but there's a video of the photo shoot and highly recommend it for any Mai fans. That's after this batch of pics from the photo shoot which ends this post off and how I wish it was much larger....
