Reichan performed "Heart no Dokusenken" with Keicchi on August 25th during NMB's Request Hour! The song placed at 63rd, so it wasn't included in the Nico stream. (Original tweet: https://twitter.com/jonishi3/status/768784196768706560)
all 5th gens are now bound to teams, she's BII, but she was on yesterday's Team M idol no yoake stage and she did pretty good, her unit was zannen shoujo
Last post, last team (even though she was actually second). A very pretty girl, this family has really won the gene lottery. In eyes and smile, this is where I'm looking. While I feel a growing regret over ignoring Keicchi all these years (she was in Mattemashita, Shingakki after all!) and this helps the younger, she should be doing well on her own - really enjoying her shots from stages I've watched these past few days. I'm convinced anyway that younger sisters are better... Is anyone else nicknaming her Reicchi? I just can't stop. I didn't have any doubt when making her a candidate for a regular oshi - winter is coming and Akarin will need a strong backing. A group of great, unforgettable girls. With a long career ahead.

It is worth noting that the pinned tweet is sisters being in sync down to the same hairstyle: https://twitter.com/jonishi3/status/795213768665927680 What is to say, Nambas might not be heroes, but they are legends for sure. The middle photo is striking in how they are, well, similar despite six years of difference.
34 days gone in silence, at least I know how much interest there is... As far as I know, she was featured in three four magazines: ENTAME 2017-01 (interview with sister) EX Taishuu 2017-02 (???) FLASHスペシャルグラビアBEST 2017早春号 [2017.02.18] (???) BOMB 2017-05 (proper photoshoot with sister) http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/person/700772293 Even for BOMB I have not seen scans yet... just LQ photos. For the other two it's even hard to say, what is the actual content. Maybe it's somewhere on matome, I would need to know first though, which one is good for NMB48-related things... A bit in the dark yet. In a sudden surge of madness I have ordered the two that are still available (well, BOMB is a sure get). Edit: added ENTAME that I already have; no scans on the forum yet, I might take photos in good light if nothing appears, as I don't have a good scanner ready.
Just like as I said - I couldn't find, so here are photos... ENTAME 2017-01 (interview with sister) View attachment 115904 View attachment 115905 View attachment 115906 Camera seems to have a problem in one corner... never noticed this before. --- I don't know, which show/episode these caps are from, but this is something to look for: 上西怜のおっπがテレビで初公開される A new star is emerging! (full image not available) --- How to liven the thread up a bit... 2018-11-07: fixed/removed dead links.
I will start with a simple reminder, that she is going to turn 16 tomorrow (on 2017-05-28). What about making some kind of a contribution (to the thread)? --- Since few weeks are new profile photos available, but obviously nobody wants to bring them there... Here is Rei's: A very good photo! I hate that half-a55ed job these photos too frequently happen to be, but this time we were spared. --- The video has been posted, time for poster: (This one didn't work out that well...)

^ Yay, someone is reading this thread! /sarcasm The first relevant news to strike in this month is a bulk of new faces on Twitter - Rei is included. https://twitter.com/jonishi_rei She is already quite active compared to other members, she even retweeted her own sister w 19638 followers at the time I'm checking. --- From the release schedule alone I see that there is a relative lot to write about, but I just came back and I'm catching up, what might take few more days.
And someone (me) has bought this book. And it is GREAT. Rei has 20+ pages of solo gravure plus 20+ pages of duo gravure with Suzu plus several pages of all 4 girls together. The difference between the two older girls and the two younger ones is very clear, Fuu and Airi are more sophisticated in terms of their poses and angles (Fuu especially is such a pro) while the two younger girls are slightly awkward but brimming with enthusiasm and innocence. Girls-pedia are different from normal grav mags in that they have more pages so nearly every picture is a full page picture and there aren't many "montages" like you would get in a Bomb or Entame or whatever. Also, because Girls-Pedia has more pictures it's like they use more consecutive shots for example, if a girl is turning they'll have frontal, then three-quarter, then full profile shots so it's like you're seeing the whole sequence. It's about 2000yen for the magazine but if you're following any of these girls but especially Rei then it's worth it imo. The Bomb love special is pretty decent too although it is 6 pages rather than dozens but it is only like 600yen or so, Rei looks great although naturally she comes off as being a bit more naive than the other girls, it's odd seeing her act her age in terms of poses while having a body very like her older sisters.
@Reveen Great review, really appealing. CDJapan has already shipped yesterday everything it had with Rei and some more "Namba-infected" issues, so I might be only growing more impatient over the remaining almost two weeks (most likely I will receive the package after trip). I was not so sure what to expect from Girls-pedia (my guess is that it's similar to girls!, I have one older issue with Milky). Spoiler: Order contents UTB+ 2017-09 (Rei, Akari, Miru) GIRLS-PEDIA 2017 Summer (Rei, Fuuko) BOMB Love Special 2017 (Rei and all these Nambas) BUBKA 2017-02 (Aayan) ENTAME 2017-08 (Yuki, Miru, Yunana) FLASH Gravure Special 2017 Early Summer (Nambas, though I don't expect much, just that Rei is on cover...) ARMS Magazine has been sold out, thankfully, I'm not that really into ordering such uncute stuff, LOL. It should be noted that Rei and Suzu have a joint photoshot in UTB+ 2017-09, as cover says. No more details known to me.
