    Yeah, perhaps announcers have a different... deal/contract with their agencies compared to other entertainers (like actresses, etc.)? The simple math is that entertainers at other agencies, like e.g. Fukagawa or Nagashima, if the agency doesn't see a big benefit to having them in a Nogi thing, they'll charge Nogi LLC a high appearance fee, or demand Nogi LLC give them a lot of camera time or whatever. If Nogi LLC doesn't think it's worth it, they'll just not bother with that. Announcers afaik are managed by both their agency as well as the TV network where they work (Ichiki at NTV, Chiharu at TV Asahi). I'm guessing something there is what caused them (either the agency or the TV network, or both) to be more open or chill about having them appear in a Nogi LLC thing.

    Most likely, Reika's grad concert last year was Nogi's last concert in Jingu until whatever replaces it. I'm doubtful they would have any more concerts this year. There's been indications that singing and chanting amongst a crowd is a good way to transmit the rona. Why would anyone want to take that risk?

    Sadly, I never got to make it Jingu. Maybe in another life?

    I hope they continue to make Jingu their "home." It's a comforting fact for a Nogizaka46 fan.

    I wonder if the other Nogi grads were even approached? Time seems to have been of the essence here to release song when it is somewhat relevant. Like @Takoyama posted, the state of emergency around Tokyo has been lifted so the 'stay at home' sentiment of the song seems mis-timed.

    That's not how I read it. I read it as "there were many requests for a CD/digital release so we're doing a digital release"

    Sounds cool. How do I sign up? Or do we wait for it all to show on BilliBilli? LOL.

    Personally wish they would give us whole concerts such as the national summer tour or Under's, but most likely they will be similar to what you get on the Nogi rhythm game.

    Hello. I have a very specific question. I like to play Stepmania (here a video if you wanna know what this is about:
    if the video does not show watch the video here . I hope I am not violating rules posting it.).
    I am looking for song packs for Stepmania containing Nogizaka songs. Till now I didn't find any, but I am sure that some must exist out there: Nogizaka are too famous. I only could find a pack of JPop songs containing some of AKB48.
    Maybe the packs of Nogizaka are all in japanese, so it's not easy to find them, as a foreigner.
    Does any of you with the same passion has some, or knows where to find them?

    They released a campaign with Save The Children Japan where the girls read stories for children. Hina, Junna, Shiori, and Seira read "Shirayuki hime" story.

    (I started posting this in each individual member's thread instead of here... whoops! This is probably a better place to share anyways...)

    The Radio Show Recomen! held their annual "Face-Only" Female idol ranking, and for the second year in a row, the list is HALF Nogi members! The votes for the top 4 spots decreased, but the threshold to rank in the top 20 has increased by nearly 400 votes, meaning more voters and probably a larger pool of idols being nominated than before.


    Ranking Changes (2019 → 2020):
    • Shiraishi Mai (1 → 1)
    • Suzuki Ayane (4 → 4)
    • Saito Asuka (8 → 7)
    • Hori Miona (5 → 9)
    • Endo Sakura (Unranked → 10)
    • Yamashita Mizuki (Unranked → 11)
    • Tamura Mayu (Unranked → 16)
    • Hoshino Minami (11 → 17)
    • Yoda Yuuki (13 → 18)
    • Ikuta Erika (17 → 19)
    • Sasaki Kotoko (2 → Graduated)
    • Terada Ranze (16 → Unranked)
    • Matsumura Sayuri (19 → Unranked)
    Happy to see some 4th gens on the list already!

    Wow, amazing that Maiyan's growth is even higher this year compared to previous year. Overall she beats Sasshi's score last year.

    Honestly not sure how they calculate the power scores, but for me I feel that looking at the graph more insightful. Basically the Y-Axis is Interest (Wants to see, hear, know them) and X-Axis is Public Recognition (Knows Name and Face):
    • Obviously, the more people know you, the harder it is to garner interest among all of those people. Just as en example, =LOVE have public recognition at around 7.5% but of the people who know about them, nearly 86% are interested in them. While AKB48 is at 45% Recognition and 52.5% Interest.
    • Maiyan is currently at 65% Recognition with 71% Interest, meaning that her recognition is actually greater than Nogizaka46 itself which is at 47% (73% interest)
    • Iku is at around 40% R & 75% I while Ashu is around 37% R & 72% I
    • For grads Nanase is around 46% R and 72% I and Ikoma 47% R and 65% I
    Maybe if I get a better quality chart I could make a similar bar graph like Milan did with the girl groups, but with all the Sakamichi girls.

    New super pushed ace Saito Asuka still can't surpass Ikuchan? Wow

    Yoda and Endo not making it in top 20 and Yamashita did?

    This list shows more the general public interest and appreciation than otaku/management ones.

    Guess I'm more into GP preferences.

    No surprise there. Maiyan and Ikuchan are both GP queen. Even Nanase couldn’t surpass Ikuchan in the past.

    Credit to Milan and ME for helping him read the names lol

    These are the results for the annual Nikkei poll for 2020 where they poll idols and other celebs and figure out their general recognition (whether the person can recognize the name and face) and interest (whether that person is interested in seeing them, watch them person, get to know them, etc.)

    So as we can see, Nogi has a LOT of members on this list! Maiyan takes the crown for most public recognition, followed by Ikuta and Asuka. One thing of note is the member with the highest relative interest is Kaki at 86.7% making her one of the few girls who have interest over 85%.

    Also obviously, they didn't poll every Nogi member, Nikkei probably chose only a handful of representative from each group. Notable omissions are Momoko and Kubo who are still very popular and have gotten CM work, but Nikkei probably just chose a few girls from each generation instead of polling all of them.
