In an age of surprise graduations I honestly never saw Nana’s graduation coming from afar, I mean at just age 23 now (albeit NMB48’s youthfulness cannot be overlooked…), it all seemed a bit premature albeit personal reasons pretty much obliterate all other reasoning for sure =). And it’s quite the journey to the top in which Nana traveled with her idol origins being groomed through the Hello! Project “farm” system leading to a brief co-leading role within a small unit which eventually led her to the outer gates of the idol mecca in NMB48. Furthermore when you consider Nana’s ascent to Team leader within NMB48 with additional activity started with SKE48 it’s even more surprising that her graduation came so quickly thereafter. This past April 3rd marked Nana’s graduation day and it wasn’t until recently that I realized that it was actually her birthday coinciding on that memorable date! ^^ Now think date! date! date! Now that title makes sense right =).

Now about the surprise of Nana’s graduation one need not look any further than her announcement itself and while her future plans are vaguely clued here you gotta love Sayanne’s initial knee jerk reaction here =P as well as the general expressions and reactions of her fellow members all around which speak volumes even in silence at times…still it’s Sayanee’s snarkiness which rules no doubt! And it’s endearing in a humorous way how Nana’s age inevitably comes up instantly with the mention of graduating, I mean NMB48 are sooooo young!!…not that Nana was deemed by any stretches of the imagination of being too old to be an idol any longer NO NO not so the case but still that whole age thing was like an ongoing joke amongst her peers and I do have to wonder how that could weigh on one’s mind over any length of time whether in good honest humor or not. Well it must be said how great Sayanee is here doing her very best “Takamina” in celebrating ~*~~* the moment for Nana…well um minus her “referring” to Nana as a ‘man’ LOL =P
And now we wish~* Nana the very best in her future endeavors as she transcends into the next stage and adventure of her life and career wherever her heart so desires =).
I’ve always adored Nana’s modest demeanor and her oh~so~cutesy voice!! And now I also adore her expressions of a “growl” to a most awesome pout (。ーωー。)笑！

I was honestly tempted to create this mini Nana♥ dialogue bubble fiasco centered around her wonderful expressions here but then the dialogue in my head got a bit racy* so sorry no wacky idol comic today (*≧▽≦)！
How can one not LOVE her pout here! So cute!
Oh and did you notice the 8 mini images atop this post? They’re representative of the four possible reversible posters you can receive with the purchase of this commemorative shashinshuu, that being you get one out of the four as they’re randomly inserted extras =). Here just below is the poster I received (front & back)….
Okay so this book isn’t technically a “Shashinshuu” per se and rather is a “photo book” which means that in addition to the wonderful photos inside you’ll be also getting a true commemorative gem which is all about Nana♥ through the ways of an extensive interview which goes outside her idol life as well as within, wonderful photographs dating back to the baby~Nana days till now, a fun visual trip around Nana’s hometown, a visual history of Nana’s mv performances, snapshots of Nana’s final stage performance, messages from fellow group members and fittingly a meeting of the minds between Nana & Sayanee which in itself is a highlight of this entire book!…and much much more! ^^
Warning!
You are about to enter the sexy to sultry, to snarly, to pouty
to fun Nana♥ Zone!
Nana fan? Then you surely need to get this book for your own personal collection…. and I’m sure this all out preview will convince you to purchase ^^!
Here’s what the real covers look like (front & back) as they’re hidden just underneath the glossy outer dust jacket! Oh and I almost forgot to mention here, Nana’s sotsugyou memorial photo book is B5 sized with the gravure photography being printed on glossy paper while the remainder of the book is printed upon non-glossy quality stock paper…. enjoy ^^!

What a lovely presentation of NMB’s Nana chan! You know what sucks though about this? I JUST got into Nana awhile back, like around February, and then she graduates! Yaddddddda!
Still, this shows me how she is one of those rare idols who can look completely like an everyday, normal girl in one photo and then a sultry sexy girl in the next photo. What a Cheshire cat this one is!
Great upload and glad you put this one up for our viewing pleasure! I hope whatever she’s doing now in life she is happy.
And forgive my ignorance here, but who is the guy near the end with her? Her father? Just curious.

Oh no he’s a famous actor/comedian, Tomonori Jinnai and he was actually at one time married to an even more famous actress…. she’s really beautiful…Fujiwara Norika. The article herein is sort of like a conversation with Tomonori-san giving advice to Nana =).
As with a lot of idols moving into their next phase of life Nana’s future remains vague at best, I too wish~* her the very best of success in whatever she so yearns to take on. Un Nana’s got this most likeable personality and demeanor, just so sweet overall and although she never reached the upper tier of Family48 I’ve always rooted for her from afar. This is really an amazingly produced book for her to commemorate her career and even her life leading up to it all…. just perfect for her fans! Love all of her newly shot photos too and especially those which feature her exquisite pout =).

I wasn’t that surprised really, with her graduation. NMB never really lost much in terms of members, did it? Somebody important was going to leave sooner or later. I’m happy at least we got a PB before that. She should have had a dozen of them, but one is good. I was a bit worried about the size of this, thinking it would be one of those little PBs sized like Takamina. I mean, sized like Takamina’s PB, you know, one of those little PBs with tons of interviews. Like Sasshi also had one. I like those too, but I wanted Nana to have at least one full sized PB. This is kinda in the middle. Can’t complain though, beautiful photos.

Mmm… it’s like she not too long ago got promoted to Team Captain only then to decide to graduate seemingly so abruptly =/. And that Sayanne x Nana dynamic will be missed!! I got a flashback of how Aichan x Gakisan would argue over the tsundere x dere traits in themselves with no agreement in sight for a moment there LOL =P. U~n Nana’s had far too few gravure pictorials in magazines too….. (wonders why the media didn’t adore her more??). Ah yes those tiny booklets which I first got with Acchan’s one…. I was surprised at how tiny it was and likewise with Takamina’s =/. At least it’s B5 sized here which is a lot better…. a shashinshuu would have been most perfect I so agree and then they could have released an additional tiny booklet for all of the interviews, and growing up/ success in Family48 text =). It’ll be sad not seeing her in the group anymore =(.

This is such a perfectly created memorial book all around!!! And I totally agree with everything you’ve said and no doubt you’ve followed Nana much more than I have… ohhh I 100% adore her voice too!! It’s too cute not to adore~♡. Oh the posters (there are four versions, one randomly included with each book) they are two sided. I imagine Nana and Sayanee could have a live stage comedy act together. .. their personalities are so different it’d be fun I think =)!!
I sincerely wish~*~~♡ Nana all of the best too ^^!~!

Nana should be very happy indeed with this photobook. She looks great, and there’s also a fair bit of documentation of what will eventually be her ‘days of yore’, isn’t there. She never really attracted my attention, but has always been an essential and dependable member with a great presence. Thank you for your excellent scanning. BTW have you ordered Miyawaki Sakura’s photobook?

A really well put together tribute photo book for Nana and as PHR noted above, Nana’s PB is much nearer to standard shashinshuu size whereas earlier such PBs of this nature have been quite small as in sort of a ‘reader’s digest’ size (Acchan, Takamina….). For me it was initially her voice without question which stood out, just how cutesy it is as she surely has an “anime” voice and her overall demeanor has always been most likeable from everything I’ve seen albeit it hasn’t been nearly enough. U~n I pre-ordered Sakura’s first shashinshuu and the rest of that order should ship as soon as it’s in stock which could be any day now I think. It’s hard to believe that it’s taken this long for her first shashinshuu to be releases as she’s been such a fan favorite for so long now and Sakura literally been all over the printed media as well, no kidding!! ^^

Yes, there are so many Miyawaki photo sets at the moment, for two very obvious reasons…. Also, she is the definition of kawaii and always photographs well. Hopefully her shahshinshuu will have a bit of variety in it, as Nana’s has.

And here I was thinking those would be the very reasons you know aside from Sakura’s overall fan appeal and of course her talent =). I literally have a mini stack of Sakura covergirl only magazines which are awaiting the scanner…. and I truly believed that she was going to rank even higher than she did in this past General Election. Still one day she could or should I say will become the center of Family48? =) Wonderful news is that her shashinshuu has shipped already so it may be somewhere flying over the ocean right now ^^.
