Nogizaka46: 2017 Magazine scans #29 and April cards

 Admit that I've been taking too many days off recently but that relaxation period has come to it's end for a while and will have too many posts for you coming up. What will be coming up tonight is a post or two for Misa whose first Nogi photobook was released yesterday. She held an event for the book and will have a post for that along hopefully a second post for some other things. That pic above is from it, could be the top PB of the year decade all time(?)!
 Have always avoided mini scandals or other rumors that have happened with the Nogi members. I try to stay positive about the group here and think most of their fans prefer just reading about all the good things the group does which are too many things to count. However will just briefly touch on Nanami who supposedly has been in some sort of relationship with a director from Sony Music which is Nogi's record company.
 There's going to be an article about it in this week's Bunshun mag. May not mention this story again but she's 24 and he's 53, hopefully it's just a rumor but most Japanese news sites have been running stories about it and there's even a pic of Nanami with the guy who you would think may be older than her father. Here's one recent pic and as you can see her hair color has recently changed. Sadly Japan has many mags which love to do nothing but bring down celebs, even if it is true at 24 she's old enough to make her own decisions though if it's true it may not be the wisest of decisions.

 On to some better things and there certainly have been so many posts for mag spreads these last two weeks. Not as many pics for this one but had been slacking off recently plus thought I'd briefly mention that story. Lot of third generation members again today but first off is the long time Undergirl Rena Yamazaki who will be turning twenty on May 21st, this set of pics is from volume 120 of Marquee.

 Have two more sets from the Marquee mag and both feature pairs. First off is Hinako who has been too quiet this year but does have her first PB coming out in June. With her in the small four page spread is Hina who is still an Undergirl after so many years though she does seem to be popular and does many outside activities. Other four page spread features five new third generation members.

 From the June issue of BLT we have Rina along with third generation Yuuki who has been appearing in so many mags recently.

 It is wise for Nogi's management to have the third generation members be so active with mag spreads and other activities, one day they could or will be the center(s) of the group's singles. Have some April cards with Mizuki who is already quite popular, following her is Momoko.

Nogizaka46: 2017 Magazine scans #26- June issue of Brody

 Still no details on the group's third album which comes out on May 24th, wish they had waited until later on in the year to release it as they've only had three singles since the second album came out. Above are some covers for the first two albums, both naturally hit #1 on the Oricon charts with combined sales a little over 700,000.
 Hope to have a Misa solo post later on today or for tomorrow, her first photobook as a Nogi member comes out this Tuesday. For this post just have the one mag but there are thirty pics in all from the June issue of Brody. Once again Asuka has her own spread as she easily leads all members for the last year appearing in solo spreads. Asuka's first PB which came out on January 25th is coming close to 100,000 in sales so wouldn't be surprised if she'll be having another PB coming up.

 Minami has been with Nogi since day one, to me she's the most easily forgettable member. Seems as we don't see her in too many solo spreads these days and rarely is at any group promo events but does have a very big set of pics in this Brody issue.

 These three solo sets were all huge totaling almost thirty pics, these here are from Rina.

 Last set from the issue is just two pages for the five members who have new CM's for Meiji. This Friday Nanase's will be released and will have it for you on that day. Unsure if Marika's CM was posted so after these pics you can view her behind the scenes video, even if it was posted it deserves an encore viewing.
