Kosaka Nao (Kosakana) / 2nd Generation

God, what a fantastic shot, she looks absolutely gorgeous.

Also, really stoked at those high print numbers. Good for both Nao AND the group.

 

What an achievement. She definitely made a milestone here. Congratulations, Nao-chan.

Get well soon Kosha!

 

Much love to Nao. I'm glad she's taking time off before pushing herself too much.

Ugh... Another hiatus announcement...hope she gets well soon.

Not sure if this means she's pulling out from W-Keyaki Fes next month.

 

I've gotta be honest, I find it pretty disgusting that SnF are still pushing girls to the point where they need to take breaks advised by the doctor so that they don't over exhaust themselves. At some point they need to learn these girls are young and can't be everywhere at once, they need regular breaks and a properly regulated schedule. I hope Nao gets a good amount of rest!

 

I don't think it is all SnF fault. They did a good job to give Nao enough rest. For example, they didn't pick her as center for the last two releases (Azato and KimiShika). Nao also didn't play on Koeharu, even though she is one of popular members. Her PB shot also already finished months ago. What she did for the last couple months is only promoting Hinomaru Soul and her regular job (seventeen model and radio). So, it is more like an unfortunate event that her condition drop.

 

Get well soon nao chan

Miho's blog post about Nao is quite touching https://www.hinatazaka46.com/s/official/diary/detail/39852?ima=0000&cd=member

 

Hopefully Nao will be better very soon! Here's the latest and presumably final PB release countdown video:

The twitter reaction videos of the members looking through Nao's photobook were so funny lol, Manamo in particular freaking out over the gravure photos killed me.
I'm glad Osushi and Katoshi did a longer review on Showroom, it was nice to see the photos as they talked. Miku picked the photo of Nao drinking an iced drink in front of flowers as her favorite shot (14:45), which is also my favorite shot so far. She summarized it nicely; there's a good balance of flowers/nature around the perimeter and Nao right in the middle. White tops, straw hats, and light denim give such a good summer feel too. (Also I like how much Miku seems to support this photobook lol, NaoMiku truly best friends)
