Not a large post but I enjoy doing these kind plus have some terrific news for her growing fan base. A few days ago was saying what a turn around it's been for the kinds of posts I've been doing over the last few months. At one time the posts for J-Pop Idols were mainly for those currently in groups, up until 2023 really didn't have all that many for graduates. But that's certainly changed as it seems graduates are so much busier than those still in groups and who would ever thought that would happen? Not many readers who visit here and also include myself, to me the biggest reason could be the lack of major superstar Idols these days. It wasn't that long ago when the three '46' groups along with AKB, NMB, SKE and HKT had so many immensely popular members but for the most part all have left their groups and can you think of one current Idol who is extremely popular these days?
But what that's also meant is that ex-Idols such as
Kana have been getting much more work so it means their popularity has also risen. Which I'm glad for that for she's been a long time fave of mine but seldom had the chances to do solo posts for her or at least when she was in Nogi. Had just been thinking wouldn't it be something if
Kana qualified for my yearly faves list which she's never done, six posts in a year are needed and she's now halfway there. Can see her having two more posts and if she could somehow get one more then she would definitely make the cut, the last two years that list has been dominated by ex-Idols with almost all being well over 25 in age. Which
Kana is as she'll be hitting the age of 31 this August and I think she looks better than ever, she's not as tall as I had originally thought as her height is just 158 cm.
Kana has had other three posts in the last five months which I recommend checking out, two had some overly sweltering digital books. But also a lot of info about her activities from the last few years and her fans know that she's one super duper Mahjong player who is now in the pro
M League, how can her opponents concentrate with her at the table?!!!! Those posts also had many other newish things besides those books which means there's not a huge amount of new things for today but her popularity has really risen here so sure most will enjoy this post. First set of new pics are from
Kana's IG page and she doesn't really post as many photos there as you would think. Quite a few of them are of her before or after a Mahjong match though as you can see in the bottom pic Poker may be another game she may excel at.... er, um, you couldn't lose either way being in a game of strip poker with her!!!!
It being March have some older
Kana Nogi cards for the month which go backwards from 2020 to 2017. As I've moaned about so often what a decrease there's been in these cards for all J-Pop groups and aren't these so sharp looking?!
Have a trio of magazine spreads for today, two have been posted before while one is brand new. First off is a real oldie which is from the November 2017 edition of
BLT so by now it's 7 1/2 years old! It also featured
Yuuri Saito who I adored so, so much 😍 and to me was Nogi's most underrated hottest member! She graduated in June 2019 and did retire from show biz for a while but in an odd twist did release a solo single last year and how I would love to see her follow in the footsteps of
Kana and the gal in the next post which is to do some gravure modeling!
Other older spread is this set from the January 2020 issue of
BLT Graph, eight months later is when she graduated but had been with Nogi for nine years.
Kana's brand new spread is a smallish one from the March 24th issue of
Young Magazine but it could be the start of many she'll be appearing in....
That's because it was just announced that Young Magazine will be publishing Kana's second photobook which will be released on May 27th! That is some terrific news and her first book which came out in 2020 was one of Nogi's best, below are some early promo pics for the book. Will skip having a video for today, Kana does have many on YT but most of them are of her playing Mahjong and how I hope there will be a video from this book's photo shoot....
