Mizuki-maru!
Just thinking. This is why I follow idols. Yamashita Mizuki… she makes me happy.

Twenty-four singles and for each they change their uniform. These are just their everyday garb. They also have a costume for when they perform the songs from that single.
I like the later ones than the earlier ones. I’m partial to the winter ones with stockings in place of socks. I like the ones with jackets and vests. The skirt length has gotten longer,
Anyhow, go check out the youngest in Nogizaka as she wears all the 24 uniforms. There’s even a bonus few more representing each successive generation.

And here I was just getting used to 4th Gen.
Sony introduces the sakamichi trainees that may be assigned to my favorite, Nogizaka46. Or they may go to the other groups: Keyakizaka46 or Hinatazaka46. Wherever they go, I think it is too early…
“My head is popcorn.”
I’ll always will remember the ending to that NogiBingo! episode wherein she lays asleep behind the scenes trying on the AD role. That’s Sakurai Reika, Nogizaka46’s captain.
By next week she will have graduated. Here’s to our Captain! JOLLY GOOD SHOW REIKA! Well done and thank you…
I still don’t know what Nogi’s captain does. Is she supposedly the task master keeping her fellow members in line? Is she the members’ representative with the management? Is she management’s lackey? Who knows? I”m sure the members do, but the thing I know is that Nogi’s captain is a reliable member meant to be steady and reasonable in the crazy idol world. Reika seemed to embody that ideal. Although it seems like Nogizaka has an abundance of members like that. So Reika was the most representative of the class and style of a Nogizaka member — a leader.
Man, I’ll miss her. She’s been the only Nogizaka Captain I’ve known.
Suddenly, I’m sad that she’s graduating…
THE CAPTAIN IS GRADUATING. LONG LIVE THE CAPTAIN.

Nogizaka46’s 24th single is going to be released at the start of September. Here’s the MV for the title song.
I am not feeling it yet. Also, with the other songs on this single… But I’ll always support them. Maybe to included extras on the BluRays would be completely worth my while.

It’s over. I feel like somethings missing in my twitter TL.
Mizuki day. It’s over…
What a crazy thing. All those well wishers on twitter just kept going and going and going with sweet Mizuki goodness. I’ve never seen twitter do that. Well, I hope she has a lovely year coming up…
If you want to get your Mizuki goodness:

Second Nogizaka46 documentary is gonna be released next month. I will cry without ever seeing this because Nogizaka-chans always do.
「Sing Out!」
Nogizaka46’s 23rd Single, “Sing Out!” music video ban has been lifted. Not their best of songs, but certainly brings a smile to my face as all things Nogi does. It will be released at the end of this month. Looking forward to it.
Bring Peas!

Ponytail!
I haven’t watched this at all, but it’s got to be awesome. Yes. It’s got to be awesome.
1st Day Against
Nogizaka46 7th Year Birthday Live has begun!
Four days of fun culminating in Nishino Nanase’s graduation concert. This year is the return to form where they will perform their entire discography: 22 singles and 4 albums totaling 177 songs!
But the legendary 1st Generation of Nogizaka shrinks at the end of the week. One this month. One next month. They’ll be down to 13 original members. So let’s celebrate with their swan song, Against. When they are all graduated, we shall remember them all so fondly. But until then, love your oshimen.
