Nagi Inoue: Her captivating and irresistible eighth post!!!!

 


 Whenever I do that next list for my all time favorite photobooks there's zero doubt that Nagi will top that list and it appears she's already celebrating!!!! The post for that book was done on August 16th of last year, to date it was 13,100 views in those 13 1/2 months! That has to be a record and for thirteen months it's been in that section for most popular posts of the last thirty days but in an odd occurrence last week it dropped out of that section for two days and then made a reappearance. That photobook is too amazing to talk about and if you've seen it you know what I'm talking about. However it may be a while until we see Nagi's second book and in the past when a Nogi member has a second or third book it's a few years after the previous one has been released. So while you're not going to see sizzling new photos of Nagi such as were in the book she's a woman who I've grown to really like and all of the new photos in this post are fabulous to me though will confess to wishing perhaps a book with outtake pictures could be released....



 This makes it five posts for Nagi this year so for the first time ever she's qualified for the fave's list. But I just don't want to see her be eligible but to have a high position on the list, the goal is to have at least one more post before the 'Nao Year' ends on November 30th but would love to have two more. That would mean Nagi ended the year on a strong note and she had a post five weeks before this so she may have a shot at finishing between fifth and seventh on the list. I hope Nagi keeps that 'Nogi Flame' burning for current members and becomes even busier in the future, if so she's be a lock almost every year to be in the top five for the fave's list.



 Sigh, don't get me started on that above photo which always sends me to Seventh Heaven and I'm truly speechless when ever I gape at it, whewwww! Nagi won't be hitting the age of 22 for another four months so she easily could be with Nogi for another five years. I have moaned in the past about how too many members have left the group too early but by my count almost twenty have remained in the group to the age of 25 and many a few years after that. If you've read Nagi's previous posts you know that I have the first ever rule that is named after a woman I post about so of course it's the 'Nagi Rule'! Her DOB is February 17, 2005 and have said Nagi will be the youngest woman I'll ever do posts for so don't expect to see anyone here who was born after that date though if she does have a twin sister.... hmmmm, that just popped into my head and don't think I've ever done a post for a woman who is a twin.



 No new photos such as those for today but have about sixty that have come out over the past month and all look superb to me. Could have made this larger but as mentioned want to have another post or two for Nagi before the end of November in the hopes she may crack the top five on this year's faves list. There's been no recent Nogi cards nor has she posted many at her IG page so won't have any of either for today. Am thinking Halloween would be a good time for Nagi's next non-ghoulish post, would love to see her Trick or Treatin' at my door with the emphasis being on Treating!!!!



 Nagi didn't attend college and joined Nogi when she was seventeen in age. But I've noticed Nagi does have such a sharp mind and does a lot of things that do requite intelligence such as hosting two radio shows plus she was the main chairman for this year's 'Tokyo Idol Festival' which is so massive and has hundreds of groups that range from newbies to superstar ones such as Nogi. That festival takes place in the Summer and back on September 4th Nagi had an interview done about her being the festival's chairman(woman?) with the Bezzy site, of course she also talked about Nogi and below are some photos from the site. That photo with Sample written on it was one you could have won with Nagi's autograph but the contest ended two weeks ago, here's the link to the site: Bezzy interview









 Never helps but do moan often about how there's been such a decrease in magazine spreads the last few years for J-Pop Idols though mainly for those that don't do gravure modeling. But that wasn't the case for so long and just because a woman such as Nagi doesn't dress skimpy doesn't mean the mag spread wouldn't look terrific! There are no new ones for today so will have an encore of this spread that was in her last post and she was the cover girl for the August 19th issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday.










 Of course Nagi's photobook is unbeatable but I think her modeling pics for Non-no are also stupendous to the Nth degree! She always has many new photos at their site such as these from September, think she may have a spread in their new issue so if that's the case will have it in her next post.














 Will end off with two large batches of Nagi at a pair of recent fashion shows and did she look so dazzling in a demurely way at both! This first set is from the Autumn 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show that took place on September 19th at the Yokohama Arena. Nagi took her stroll n the Vis stage, that's a fashion site but she's never modeled for them. Nagi's height isn't too tall as it's 157 cm but she does have longish legs and when she's by herself looks much taller than she is.




















 Will end off with another largish batch of event photos, not a massive post but there were over sixty new pictures. On September 26th Nagi was at the Autumn 'Girls Award' show that was held at the Makuhari Messe Hall in Chiba and she appeared on the Evelyn stage, that must be a clothing line. After the photos is a brand new CM for Kose and their Make Keep mist, have never seen Nagi do any work for them and perhaps that's another site she could do modeling for?
