Nogizaka46: 2015 magazine scans #8 and a few other tidbits
Above is the lineup for the group's 11th single, same members as always so don't really need to translate all the names over. Was hoping to tell you the name of the single but as of yet there's still no title for it and they better think of one soon as it's coming out on March 18th, once more news comes out will be sure to post the details right away. The group is also going to 'hijack' the AKB Show again on February 7th, will be watching and posting about the show with hopefully subbed screenshots, two mother times they've been on the show it's been subbed.
As you can see Nanase has the center position again for the single, she was also the center for singles #8 and 9, here she is sharing a spread with Mai in the March issue of Street Jack, after their spread is Reika from the same issue.
Another Reika spread here and she looks really good in the March issue of UTB.
That's it for new mag spreads or at least for the next few days but do have an older one from October featuring Mai F. from Idol Spot.
Lack of Nanami things lately but guess every member also needs to appear in mag spreads or attend promo events but do have two things which haven't been posted here yet. First are some cards for the group's "Kizuitara Katamoi" which came out last April, screenshots are from the group's appearance on the Music Station show on January 23rd.
Yuko Oshima: A little of this and that #1
Since Yuko left AKB last June think I've done more posts on her then in the years when she was in the group, kind of glad she left as her talent level is so much higher than most of the remaining members. Just a few new items here but don't want them to get dated, Yuko and Saki have been fairly good friends since the 2008 movie "The Cherry Orchard", they've done a few promo events together though none the last few years, have two pics here from each of their Instagram accounts that were posted last week, wow do they look terrific together.
Just one new Yuko mag spread and that's from the February 4th issue of Anan.
On February 1st Yuko was at the 36th Yokohama Film Festival where she won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the "Kami no Tsuki" movie, second award she's won for the movie and now I'd really like to see it. Pics here are from the awards ceremony and it's a shame there's no video of her from the show.

Manami Higa: Doctors 3 episode one screenshots
Been a while since the last drama post, actually have been taking a break from them but will be back soon with some recaps of a few current ones and at least one older show. Third season of "Doctors" is now being subbed, fourth episode just aired tonight so once that gets subbed will be back with posts for the first four episodes. Also am planning on watching the fourth season of "Majisuka Gakuen", three episodes have been subbed but unsure how many episodes I'll watch before doing some recaps on it.
There was a special movie before the first episode of "Doctors" but don't think that will be subbed, will wait just a tad longer before I start posting about this drama as there's some key things which happened in the movie. One thing was that Sachi(Manami) has returned to Dogami Hospital after leaving there in the final episode of season two, sure there are a few other things which happened, if it doesn't get subbed in the next week or so then will just start posting on this season.
At one time I thought that Manami had a chance to have the most posts here but there's been so, so little to post about her as this is the first post about her since October when she was in the "Yuming Sings" stage play. Since then very little new things such as CMs, mag spreads or any other kind of promo events, sure do miss posting about her. Just a few unsubbed screenshots of her here but will have a vast amount once I start watching the current season.
