    It's interesting to see that people that have never solo-centered like Kashiwagi Yuki, Yokoyama Yui, Yoshida Akari, and Saito Kyoko have higher public recognition than people in their respective groups who have centered singles. Also, compare Ikuta Erika who was center once 6 years ago to Saito Asuka who has already centered 4 singles and wouldn't be surprised if she's chosen as the center for the 26th single again.

    When it comes to idols, the songs/performances are only one part of the job. If you want to make an impression with people outside of your fandom and group, and you have to be visible in variety, modeling, CMs, and film as well. Sasshi is a prime example of the variety type, but Yui and Yukirin are also the “voices” of their respective groups. Considering how unstable the center position is in 48Gs now, is it really surprising that not a lot of the centers stick on people’s mind?

    As for the Asuka/Ikuchan gap, it’s honestly not that big of a gap, but I think there’s two factors:
    • Ikuta has been a face of Nogi from the very beginning of the group.
    • Asuka is more known among young people for her modeling, but Ikuta is more known amongst the older crowd (which is a bigger part of the population) thanks to her singing and variety appearances outside of the Nogi-only programs.

    No surprise that Shiraishi and Ikuchan have the top selling photobooks.

    Nogizaka46 just posted some answers to frequently asked questions regarding the upcoming Nogi Douga service that will launch in two weeks' time.

    Two of the questions that we were wondering have been answered:
    • Nogi Douga won't be geoblocked in general, but there may be a handful number of videos that may be geoblocked due to rights restrictions. Yes, there will be original content, but there will be some licenced content, most notably MVs and maybe stage plays. That may or may not be subject to geoblock, we'll have to wait and see. Have a VPN handy, just in case it's unavailable outside of Japan - that is, if you can get through the biggest hurdle...
    • ...and that is the payment options. Officially they'll accept mobile phone payments (as part of their NTT docomo/KDDI au/SoftBank monthly phone bill) or credit cards that are issued in Japan - not outside. This is the obstacle we are concerned with. If they don't accept foreign credit cards once the service launches, then the only way foreigners can subscribe to Nogi Douga will be using a proxy service that will take care of Japan-only payments. (I have two questions: Does AKB48's streaming video service also require a Japanese credit card? And which proxy services are useful for such scenarios like Nogi Douga and AKB48 Video Warehouse?)

    New towel design.

    I like Junna, Kaz and Runa towel design the most. Junna write her introduction on it, Kaz with simple handwritten font style, and Runa use one word "確乎不抜 (Determined)", instead of her name.:D

    I really like Kana's design, very clean. And it pains me to say it but Chima's towel design, well... it could be improved.

    The cat from Mizuki's PB shows up. I like! And did Reno not come up with anything? (Please, don't say that is what she came up with...)
    At least if you have it and make it to a concert then she can read it from afar!
