Minami Umezawa: Her jubilant 'Happy 24th Birthday' post

 

 As usual a day late..... but not a dollar short(!) as this may be the best post of the year to date..... granted it's only been seven days! I expect this slowish period to continue on for a few more days but by next weekend things should be back to normal. The final and first ten days of a year are the slowest for activities but had made a cache of things to carry us through this rough stretch. There aren't many women who I enjoy doing posts for more than Minami the last four years but what happened to her in 2022? The year began well but after April she had only three posts for new happenings and that seemed to be the case for the scant few other Nogi members I still like. No dates have been set yet but soon the final two first generation members will be graduating, one is their captain and next in line to take that position is probably Minami. Hope that happens as it means she would be with the group at least another 2-3 years.

 Don't know if I'll ever go through with it but have been thinking of who my top twenty Idols have been for all time. But not a faves list but who are my most hottest/sexiest/alluring/etc. Idols of all time? That would be the most difficult list to date and the hardest thing would be where would I position Minami? To me she's Nogi's sexiest member of all time and there's some viewers out there who agree with me! So that's something I may be working on and trying to whittle a list down to twenty is not as easy as it sounds, just think of how many Nogi members could make the list?

This could be a very large post but hope that pace of one every three months doesn't continue on from 2022, lot of variety for this post too. Was going to wait a week for this as I had been thinking Minami would be at next week's 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show but she won't be in attendance and that's a bit disappointing. She looks so darn exquisite at those shows, perhaps more than any other model and these are from the TGC April 2019 show.

 No new birthday pics for this year and sadly not all that many from the past either.

 Those bottom two pics above are from the 'Nogi Fes' card series and there's been a shortage of them lately. But do have some recent group cards for October and also Nogi's latest single "Koko ni wa Nai Mono" which was their 31st.

 Few recent photo from Minami's IG page, Nogi members don't post nearly as many as the gals from Hina and Keya do. Some are from a photo shoot and that spread will be ending the post.

 That above pic is from the set of "The Time" variety show, since October 2021 she's had a weekly segment. Minami is still a model for the With site but she hasn't had any new pics for about a month, they're streaky with pics as there will be twenty one month and zero the next. Even when there are modeling pics what we haven't seen are any new ones for this duo and what an unbeatable pair they make, know what my dreams will be about tonight....

 Am hoping her next post will be around Valentine's Day as I do have a lot of pics for that semi holiday. Have two new magazine spreads with the first being from the February issue of Nikkei Entertainment, the days of her having one spread a month are sadly a thing of the past.

 At least when Minami does appear in a magazine she's the cover girl plus the spreads are large. That's the case for this final set of pics which are from the February issue of Brody and this is one of her all time top spreads! After the pics is a video from 2 1/2 years ago, have posted it before but it's close to being my #1 video of all time!!!!
