Overdue to a certain extent and for a change there was nothing I could have done about it! Did have a post back in June for Minami's ultra perfect photobook which could be my #1 of all time. It's garnered quite a few views but not as many as it's deserved, in case you missed it the link to it is above. Am writing most of this up a day early, tomorrow she'll be at the Autumn 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show and will finish it once I get some pics from it. This is Minami's first regular post in exactly five months and it wasn't by choice as she's one of only three Nogi members who I still keep tabs on. Have a mag spread today which is her first since March and that's so hard to believe. Plus she hasn't appeared at an event in six months so the only things I could have had in a post were Nogi cards and IG pics. But as I've said often this year am weening off of Nogi as I don't follow them all that much these days, the first two generations had my fave members and now that they're almost all gone to me it's Nogi in name only. Don't think viewers have missed seeing Nogi posts as this blog is more popular than ever.
So for the immediate future will continue to do posts for Minami and one other member, both do mostly non-Nogi activities and once they're gone guess that'll be the end of Nogi posts. The third generation is now going through what took place with the first two generations. About a year after the 3G members joined management started to promote them so much more than the first and especially second generation members. These days the fourth and fifth generation members are getting the push while the 3G gals aren't heard from nearly as much as they once were so what goes around comes around! But a few 3G members are popular enough where they don't need to do Nogi activities and this fave is one of them though what a quiet stretch it's been for her.
For some reason that above pic wasn't in the photobook and it's one of my top pics ever from her! The one other gal who will still have posts is the group's shortest member who will have a pair next week for her drama, while she's the shortest Minami is the tallest at 170 cm.
This will be a large post but then again it isn't when you consider these are all of her pics from five months! That gap will probably cost Minami a spot on this year's faves list, she's been in the top ten the last two years. Not many different activities either for this post, let's start off with some recent IG pics and many are from the set of "The Time" show where she has a weekly segment.
There's some super duper pics in that above batch. Don't think many will agree but to me Minami has always been Nogi's sexiest member! The only thing associated with the group in most posts are cards which is the case for today, these are since May and from the 'Nogi Fes' collection.
Hard to top her as a bride!!!! Minami has been a model with the With magazine/site for about four years. However in May they stopped having print editions which is one reason for there being such a gap for spreads. But she does have many new pics at their site and they're tough to beat, am holding back a few for a possible post in the not so distant future.
What I miss more than almost anything else are new pics featuring this duo, her mate will have a post next week as she made the top ten on my all time fave's list.
The reason I was holding back a few modeling pics is because Minami will be the cover girl for a magazine coming out next week. Hopefully can do a post shortly after that but wonder if Nogi fans care as her posts have become the most unpopular of all members and wonder why, that started over a year ago. So will be taking a break and returning tomorrow, hoping the pics from the TGC show are stupendous. Here's her first magazine spread since March(!) and wish it was larger, for at least the fifth time she's the cover girl for Big Comic Spirits and this is from their September 12th issue.
So was the wait worth it? In all honesty will have to say no, it's impossible for Minami not to look enticing but she's looked so much better at previous shows. Noticed most others were dressed like this too and guess it makes sense as it was the TGC Autumn/ Winter show. Could have waited a while for more pics as the show just took place four hours ago though sure they won't be any different than these. Minami took her stroll on the Bohmal stage and after the pics is a short video of it.
