Kana Nakada: Her breathtaking Friday magazine "Utsukushī hito" digital book plus many more goodies....
Think this will be the only post for today but it's so large it could count as two!! It's Valentine's Day though never do anything special here for the quasi holiday and will confess I am a bit miffed for of all the alluring women who I post about only four made chocolates for me today, sigh.... 😓Oh well, once again will say quality over quantity and as far as quantity goes this is the first time Kana has ever had two posts in a month. Just did one nine days ago that featured her first ever digital book and for today have her second one. The last few weeks Kana 😍 has really become a fixture in my mind and as I've said many times she just may have the best figure of any first generation Nogi member and bet a few of you older fans would agree with me.
I don't know the game so well but as many know Kana is an ace at Mahjong which is extremely popular in Japan and over there it's known as Riichi. There's plenty of articles out there about how good she is at the sport along with many videos on YT so those places could explain things much better than I can. Kana also co-hosts a web show on the sport and is in the Japanese M-League for Mahjong which is for pros. But in an odd twist she's starting to become a part time gravure model as today have her second digital book plus she has a new one coming out soon. So against all odds may have another pair of posts coming up for her and doing posts for ex-Nogi members has become such a rarity. My memory is fading slightly but can slightly remember the olden days of 2014-19 when it seemed there were 3-4 or more posts weekly for Nogi!
Earlier this week a brand new issue of Young Magazine came out with Kana as their cover girl. It's promoting an upcoming book and it could be her best spread to date but will hold on to that for her next post as this will have over a hundred mouthwatering pics! In that previous post had some older Nogi cards for February, so for today will have some for January and the next post will have some for March. As I've said many times these cards are something I've always enjoyed but most J-Pop groups have really cut back on how many they release these days.
Kana is someone who doesn't post all that many photos at her IG page and when she does they're usually of her dressed in her M-League uniform as you can see below. That top pic is the cover of her first ever essay book which will be coming out on March 18th so should have her next post around then and who would have ever thought she would be having more posts than any other Nogi member?
Kana had her fair share of solo magazine spreads while with Nogi but bet most have been forgotten about by now. So in this and her next posts will have an encore viewing of an ancient spread and this set is from the May 2019 issue of Entame, she was 24 at the time and her birthday is in August.
To promote her second digital book Kana was the cover girl for the November 15th issue of Friday. Kana did have one regular photobook while with Nogi that came out right after her September 2020 graduation and it's one not to be missed!
On to the book which the Friday magazine released on October 24th and contains 77 photos. The title "Utsukushi hito" roughly means beautiful person and at the age of thirty Kana certainly has become a beauty, she looked mighty fine with Nogi but so much better these days! There's no video for this photo shoot and that was to be expected as there never has been one for her. But have a bonus for today's video as it's a prehistoric one from March 5, 2014 or eleven years ago when Kana was nineteen in age! It's from an old series called 'BLT Quarterly' and all of the members had a 3-4 minute video with the magazine, I recommend viewing them all as every video to me is a must watch and how I miss some of those gals....
