Nogizaka46 (AKB48's official rivals, produced by Aki-P)

Ikoma Rina ... interesting choice for Center ... I don't think she is your typical idol ... but ... I can kind of see her charm ... [nod]

EDIT:

My new oshimen ... [blush]

JUST KIDDING!!

 

YOU TRAITOR!!!! :angry:

Just Kidding

Is she Sashi's replica ??
NO WAY

 

Nah .. she looks more like the Matsui Rena type to me. Fragile, soft, traditional, classic, etc.

No one can replicate Sasshi. She is one of a kind.

 

^

I kind of see her as a bizzare Momoka from berryz kobo, Rena and Sasshi mix....

^ Not that i'm complaining, but only that last two chu face pages are actually of nogizaka46 members the rest are just some known to not well known gravure idols chu face.

 

Okay, I take back my "puke" regarding Guru Guru Curtain .. after a few listening .. it's not all that bad. Just not used to the "old" feeling of it ...

-----

On a side note .. Melos has updated Nogizaka46's members page!!

Yes, I requested him to.

Yeah, but I like to keep the whole article together when it's part of a set. It doesn't feel right cutting it up.

Another page from Playboy, that wasn't in the previous set of scans:

 

Yesterday I watched the PV of Aitakatta, & all I can say that this is

Aitakatta ..... Nightmare Mode

 

Thank you for that. So, it was Sayurin I get confused with Maiyan a few times already.

And Ikomamachan's hairstyle looks like those from alien characters in the anime. Aki-P really have a tasty for weird hairstyle.

 

They're all cute. I think I could like this group. I actually preordered there single?

 

Boys and girls, we have to be aware that Hey! Say! JUMP will be releasing a single on the same day as Nogizaka46 - and they have more experience (over four years) unlike Nogizaka46, but we'll have to see... Surprises could come at any time...

Well HSJ Have to be favorites going in to it I suppose, still much more intrested in seeing how N46 will perform!

Note 1:

The NINKI ratings are the results of a POLL conducted by Oricon indicating degree of interest/degree of purchase intention in an upcoming release. Although the ratings are never a true reflection of sales, it does give a strong prediction about where the single/album will place in terms of popularity amongst the Japanese public. However, they are NOT an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week.

Note 2:

According to Oricon's note under the NINKI page, Oricon researches about 870,000 of its members by random sampling of 400 members in their 10s until 40s. 50 men and 50 women are chosen randomly to participate in each age group. (However, some popular artists have had NINKI exceeding 500, so we can only assume that Oricon has extended the polling to around 600/700 people now.)

i really wish N46 will get #1

I bought the single type B, Ive seen it quite a time ranking #1 on HMV, so it might sell well.
I was not to thrilled at first, but managed to like them more and more

 

i bet johnny's will make sure that HSJ gets no.1 by having back up hanshake events every day! [speechless]
Hopefully our Nogizaka girls will prove to them that u can top the charts by charm alone
can;t wait to see the chart battle

 

Okay, I take back what I said in my post above, her hairstyle looks great here.

I hope this stay true not because of the controversy but the because the group was interesting.
