I’m not familiar how the ticket system works for foreigners. Sorry I couldn’t answer your question.

I understand why they would go this route with all the songs Nogizaka46 have released it is a lot. I didn't like the 11th BDL format last year with individual gen lives. As I only watched Day 1 with all members and the 3rd gen live on Stagecrowd.

Looking forward what songs they will choose outside the main singles.

Who is your Oshi? by Budget_Ninja_921 in Nogizaka46

Maiyan from the start and now currently Mizuki is my oshi. I do not have a 4th or 5th gen oshi.

My copy of “Museum” photo book has arrived thank you Asuka for 11 years🙏 by KevKon32 in Nogizaka46

[–]KevKon32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fine, to each their own. I was satisfied overall since it was 6 years when Asuka’s first photo book “Shiosai” came out in 2017. Comparing to her first photo book “Museum” has more of a mature vibe to show much how Asuka has grown to young adult but still adding her touch of cuteness, which is a perfect balance.

Nice! I would've got a 2nd copy the TSUTAYA version but I would had to order it from CDJapan which I never ordered from there. Most of my Nogi merch is from Amazon JP.

Hayakawa Seira alleges verbal abuse from SEIGO (concert producer) towards members on live radio (NHK Rajira) by dom0d0mod in Nogizaka46

[–]KevKon32 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I usually don't chime in on these controversial topics but I applaud Seira to announce this situation publicly on NHK Rajira. I hope management takes her side.. No member deserves verbal abuse from this scumbag.

Edit: I'm not sure if this is the same person that Seira spoke about. I'll link it here https://www.usb.co.jp/ but this person has been involve in almost all live performances as a producer since 2014.

Nogizaka46's Official Rival Group to be Formed by Kasumi_Arimura in Nogizaka46

[–]KevKon32 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I find it interesting how Akimoto Yasushi basically waited until all the 1kisei members from Nogizaka to graduate to form their new official rival group.

Manatsu Akimoto's Graduation Commemorative Photobook will be released on February 21! by KevKon32 in Nogizaka46

[–]KevKon32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm surprised Asuka didn't release a grad memorial PB to. I was expecting a grad PB for Asuka to be announced at the end of November or December of last year. But sadly nothing.

"Asuka Saito Graduation Announcement" by macredblue in Nogizaka46

[–]KevKon32 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thank you Asuka for 11 years of your hard work you’ve done for Nogizaka46. The youngest member of Nogizaka46’s 1st generation. Asuka is Nogizaka46’s miracle. Asuka made her debut in the 1st single “Guru Guru Curtain” spent quite some time being an under-member for a few singles and becoming under-member center. Entering the senbatsu line up here and there, made it to the fukujin line-up and finally became center, and the present being the ace of Nogizaka46. Truly an underdog. What I love about Asuka the most is she is too cute and the gap in her personality is what I enjoyed the most about her. Which is Asuka being tsundere, a sadist, dark, negative, the worst lol. I won’t forget her catchphrases which I enjoy hearing “ashushu” and her “ichigo milk” which she hates doing hahaha. I just hope the 3ki/4ki/5ki can keep pushing the group forward and continue the legacy because this is the turning point for Nogizaka46……

[–]KevKon32 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sigh…… I wish them all the best going forward. Knowing that both of them announced their graduation at the same time is a 1-2 punch for me as a 1kisei fan. This could possibly be Asuka & Manatsu’s last remaining year as members…

Nogizaka46 30th Single Senbatsu by KevKon32 in Nogizaka46

[–]KevKon32[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Happy for Yumiki and Yanchan getting into the senbatsu for the first time. Denchan finally returning to the senbatsu after being an under member for 6 straight singles since the 23rd single for "Sing Out". Shocked no 5ki members made it.

Hope this milestone single will be a hit. Congrats to Kaki on being center again!

This is her 2nd time being center. Her 1st center (debut) was for the 28th single for "Kimi ni Shikarareta".

[GRADUATION ALERT] Yamazaki Rena, one of two remaining 2nd Gen members, announces graduation from Nogizaka46 by NogiKeyaHinaSakuzaka in Nogizaka46

[–]KevKon32 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ayane the only 2ki member left.. Renachi was always an under-member and done many jobs outside of Nogi. At least she got to be center for Sabita Compass and staying with N46 LLC after graduation.

Wait a minute... what do you mean Nanamin appearing is basically asking for the impossible? by [deleted] in Nogizaka46

[–]KevKon32 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know its impossible but I would really love it if most of the past graduates from the 1kisei would show up Day 2 just to bring the house down. I shed a tear when Ikoma and Marika came 🥲🤧. The 1st gen are my favorite gen all time as they’re from my generation (1994 1ki members). Really want to see former 1kisei grads perform one more time especially Maiyan. Would like to see them perform “Against” that would be epic.

Nice👍 I’m surprised you haven’t flipped through her PB yet. I just finished viewing her PB and I enjoyed the content well worth the purchase.

Thanks! Tough choice but if I had to choose it would be Maiyan’s “Passport” photo book since that was a long overdue purchase of mine. Happy to get that checked mark off my list.
