Minami Umezawa: Her second post in the '𝘏𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵?' series....
At times I want to put out an APB on her and have I missed posting about her! Though this is Minami's 31st solo post it's only her third one since last October. Did do a post back in July and had tried so hard to have another for her three weeks ago. That didn't work out but thought one could be done on October 1st but as you notice am a bit early with that post. Am hoping another can be done next month for her and will explain why a bit later on.
Minami is a woman who I really, really like and she's someone who at one time could have been one of my all time top five women! That will never happen as she's been so darn quiet the last two years but in 2020 and 2021 did finish in the top ten on the yearly faves list. Plus Minami's 2020 photobook is my #1 of all time and why don't I mention her name when talking about hottest Idols of all time? The last few years the fourth and fifth generations have been getting more of the attention and save for one member don't care about those new gals all that much, it's no fun being a real old time Nogi fan these days.
Don't know why but that above photo is just so darn terrific, she certainly can bring a sparkle to our lives! Not positive but fairly sure Minami will be the cover girl for a magazine coming out in two weeks. Plus she'll be appearing at the September 30th 'Girls Award' show which is why there should be another post for her next month. Here's some pics from her last GA show from September 2020 and don't know why she wasn't at the recent 'Tokyo Girls Collection' Autumn show.
Not sure how many pics will be in this post, perhaps around eighty and sixty should be brand new for here. Such as these Minami Nogi cards from a few months ago, bottom five are for their 'Nogi Fes' series which are my favorite cards.
Not sure how important the position is but back in February Minami was appointed as Nogi's third captain. They wouldn't give that to someone who may leave in a year so it's nice knowing she'll be with the group at least another 2-3 years. On to more new pics which are these IG pics from the past two months, she does post many but not enough solo ones.
What's hard to believe is that with her stunning looks(to me) she's not a model for any magazine or site these days. Minami had been a model for the With magazine for over four years but it appears she may have left them in April as there's been no new pics since then. Which is a shame as Minami's modeling pics for them were so terrific. What's a bigger shame is that it means we may never seen this unbeatable duo together modeling for the magazine, have a few photos here that had never been posted.
One new magazine spread for today that's from the September 11th issue of Big Comic Spirits and Minami still does grace the cover for most of her spreads. Bottom four pics are bonus ones and could have sworn there was a video from the photo shoot but it's not on YT. However there is a new CM for Toho Bank which is after the pics.
Will end off with some ultra super duper Minami pics from an event held yesterday which also featured five other Nogi members. Last year Nogi was appointed as ambassadors for the Dars candy bar and the event was to promote a new CM. Instead of the CM after the pics is a video from the event because it's so rare for Nogi to have one of those videos.
