Nogizaka46 - Member Gags & Poses

Hashimoto Nanami's "Hand Dryer Gag!"

On the very first episode of Nogibingo, before being the victim of cream flour smacked on her face with a blow gun, the staff member asks her if she knows any mimicry. She then asks if someone can give her a hand so she can enact it. Instead she gets the overhead Microphone and does the Famous Hand Dryer impersonation!!

Himeka Nakamoto's "Himetan Beam!!"

In the group, she was known for her special pose called the "Himetan Beam" (ひめたんびーむ), with which she supposedly transferred energy to their fans.

Takayama Kazumi's Poji-peace!!

Poji-peace gag was actually used in an MV by Nogizaka46. It was for Sonna Baka Na MV (from their 7th Single - Barrette). In a scene where Hashimoto Nanami (the boss) is unimpressed by Nishino Nanase's image, she asks "The Ace" Shisaishi Mai to do the handshake action. Shiraishi smiles and does that. Hashimoto then looks towards Nishino to see if she got it. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Takayama Kazumi does the Poji-peace gag/action. Ikuta, Shiraishi turn their heads away. Fukagawa Mai holds back her smile but Wakatsuki Yumi is trying controlling her laughter, but fails. You can clearly see she found "Poji-peace" really funny!!

Matsumura Sayuri's "Sayuringo Punch"

In Nogibingo EP09, the members hidden talent and performance are put to a test and ranked #1 on the list is Shiraishi Mai & Matsumura Sayuri's Foolish (Baka) Couple gag. He they needed 3 judges to see if they can get some fans. To approve the gag the judges need to flash the light on top of their helmet. Little Taisei, a judge liked the gag, so Ijiri Okada (the host) asks him who he likes the most among the two. Taisei says Matsumura. Hearing this Matsumura is overjoyed but still one of the judge doesn't like the act so they get punished with black ink smacked all over her face. Even with her face covered with black in, Taisei still prefers Matsumura. Matsumura goes over to him, thanks and gives him a Sayuringo Punch. The kid then becomes angry!!
