Nogizaka Artworks!
So, I was recently in Japan, and I got the chance to visit the Sony Roppongi Museum and check out the Nogizaka exhibit…!!!
I apologize for blurry images, tumblr is not on my side.
I actually don’t have too many photos because photography wasn’t allowed in most areas of the exhibit, but I’ll walk through it with words.
First, there is a little photo spot, where you can take photos with members…as cardboard cutouts.
I would have taken photos with them, but unfortunately, I was traveling by myself :( and I don’t have enough courage to just pop into selfie mode.
You then watch a 3 minute video, featuring different clips and statements by people who were involved in making Nogizaka who they are - costume designers, MV directors, etc. and.. of course, Akimoto himself. After that, you’re let into exhibition room A, where you can see the startings of nogizaka. It had beta logo designs, and concept jacket art for Guruguru Curtain, Oide Shampoo, and a few other stuff from early Nogi days. Room A goes to about Girls Rule, and the next area (Room B) features Kizuitara Kataomi to Kaerimichi - theres different memorabilia (the suitcase Nanase uses in Mukuchi na Lion! Nanase’s glasses from Kaerimichi! Character designs from Nigemizu!)
The last area features an autograph wall:
I took a few close ups! First is Ikoma! Hers says “I too, was once part of Nogizaka46″
Captain! (who, off topic, I’ve recently started to like alot)
Kazumin! My current oshi now that Waka graduated…
Nogizaka’s King Piece, Nanase!
After the autograph wall, there was a large open area, featuring various stage outfits,
I wanted to get a really nice shot of this area, but there were alot of people, which made this kinda hard…
They also closed up the museum with another film, this time of Influencer being performed at Jingu (if I remember correctly) - which was on this super hi res screen, it was pretty breathtaking, even though it was just a screen.
I went pretty late, so I didn’t actually eat anything at the Nogizaka cafe - it was still open, but I had spent a fair amount of money at the store. I really wanted the N46 AW tshirt, but that was sold out, so I had to splurge on the hoodie instead. I also copped Misa’s Nigemizu cover T-shirt, the calendar, and a few postcards.
Sorry for the lack of good pictures, as photography isn’t allowed in most areas…
But, tldr, this was my experience at the N46 Artworks exhibit! It was definitely worth the admission fee.
