Nagi Inoue: Her third award winning intro post....
Knew those first two posts for Nagi would be immensely popular, especially the second that featured her photobook. Between them they already have 4,400 views and for some women it takes ten posts to reach that figure! But then again very few have the figure that Nagi has and what a book that was, won't call it my number one of all time but it's not too far off. As I said in that photobook post what does someone such as Nagi do for an encore? It's close to being a perfect book so how can you top something such as that, no matter how many terrific modeling pics Nagi will have in the future they will always be compared to the photobook and will lose 100% of the time!
Nothing wrong with photos such as the above ones, as a matter of fact that one clad in white is close to being my favorite from the photobook. Wanted to let the book die down a bit before doing this post, it's died down a bit but still is receiving many views. Did mention that I would like to do a post every month or so for Nagi if that's possible, it hasn't been for the two other Nogi members I still follow. The trio are all busy yet don't do enough activities that make for interesting posts, there's been such a decrease in magazine spreads and none appear at as many events these days. However that's the case for most J-Pop Idols these days but besides her stunning looks figured that Nagi is a woman I could do posts for well into the future and for the most part think that'll work out.
There is one problem and it is kind of a big one with Nagi which is of her being so young. She turned twenty in age back in February and I rarely introduce women younger than 22 but on occasion will make an exception for someone special, Nagi fits the bill! But because of her age don't want to include pics prior to 2025 in her posts and that makes it a bit more difficult. In most other posts always include older photos such as cards, magazine spreads, events and what ever else but can't to that for Nagi. So for future posts they'll just be including recent activities so hope Nagi will be a busy gal, still have some things from this year that can be included in future posts.
Nagi is one of Nogi's busier members, she's a model for at least one fashion site, hosts a radio show, often appears at those large fashion shows and will be in a Taiga drama that begins in January. So that means there can be a variety of things in Nagi's posts, was hoping for one a month but think it could be every six weeks and even that's a solid pace. First off are some photos from Nogi's blog, few are from a recent photo shoot and we need to see the more magazines feature Idols as it seems young gravure models are dominating the spreads this year. Most look good yet kind of the same so it seems like those kinds of gals are dime a dozen....
One thing I've never understood about Nogi is why some members have a huge amount of group cards while others have so few, it's never mattered if they were extremely popular or not. Nagi just may be Nogi's most popular member yet she's had fewer cards this year than anyone else in the group and why would that be? This is it for the year with the top four being from their latest single "Same Numbers". Nagi wasn't the center but did have that solo honor for two previous singles, Nagi was also the co-center for their 38th single.
Of course there's cards prior to 2025 but as mentioned not going back before this year. Nagi hails from Yokohama and looks taller than she is, her height is 158 cm which is 62+ inches but in solo photos often appears to be taller. Have one newish magazine spread for today which is from the September 10th issue of Weekly Sunday Shonen, Nagi is often the cover girl for the magazines she appears in.
The pics above and especially the ones below are all superb but as I said in the beginning Nagi's pics will often be compared to her photobook and and as fabulous as she looks it's impossible to top that book! Which is a slight shame as this batch of photos gets a grade of A++++ from me, these are so super duper! Nagi has been a model for the Non-no site since April 2024, their modeling pics are always superb and they've had had other members from Nogi and Keya as models. Most below are recent pics and Nagi will be the cover girl for the first time for their next edition.
We've hit the end, seemed like a smallish post but there were over seventy photos. Of course that number of pics means a post isn't too tiny but it took no time to write this up and perhaps it is somewhat smaller compared to other posts for there's no older photos. Will end off with some pics from an event held on April 22nd for Nagi's first photobook "Momologue" which was released on that date. The event took place at the Tsutaya bookstore in Shibuya, that's the most common location for these kinds of events. The photo shoot took place in and around Rome, at over 125,000 copies sold it's been the best seller of the year but think it was expected to sell more. The top two pics are from the book and though it's been such a popular post will have the link to it. Of course there's no video from the book's photo shoot have a new one from the Non-no magazine that's after the event pics and will say that Nagi does look a bit seductive in it.... so doesn't she in this book: "Monologue" photobook
