Hinako Sano: Pair of new sweltering mag spreads plus a tad more....

 


 Still a slow stretch for happenings and really can't understand why. So doesn't make sense holding on to things for too long so will have some smaller posts until normalcy returns but forty new pics like this post has isn't all that tiny. If there's one person I shouldn't hold pics back for is Hinako who is just so immensely popular here. Need a break from lists and such but the next one may be of who the most popular gravure models are here. Haven't checked many others out but my money may be on Hinako being #1 and viewers are certainly ga-ga over her. Shame she doesn't have more posts but seems every one she's ever had has received so many views, she's not just among the most popular gravure models but Hinako's posts usually top those of Idols so know all her fans will savor today's pics.



 I usually follow Hinako's activities as she's such a huge fave of mine too. So was kind of surprised that she just released a photobook recently and that seemed to come out of nowhere. Most of today's pics will be for the PB though do have a small batch of new ones from the ar site.





 Hinako turned 26 in October, she began her gravure career just before she turned nineteen. Think she got tired of doing those kinds of pics as she did 'retire' from being that kind of model for close to a year. But Hinako did return to gravure modeling a little over a year ago which may have been a wise decision as that's why she became so popular over the years. But she's also an actress, 2020 was a slow year for her but she is in a drama that began on January 7th. I've seen her in a few things, she's okay but kind of ditzy and hasn't had a huge role yet but that's been the case for so many others. First of today's two spreads is this set from the February 9th issue of Flash.








 For many years Hinako has had a Line blog but for the most part she hasn't done a good job keeping it updated. Recently though she has and that's probably because of her new photobook titled "Colors". It's her fifth PB and was released on January 20th, it was the number two best seller in it's first week out selling close to 4,300 copies. The photo shoot took place on the Goto Islands which is west of Nagasaki. Pics here are outtake ones from the photo shoot that were on her blog.











 This final batch also features outtake pics from the PB and are very similar to the above ones. For about the 25th time Hinako was the cover girl for WPB and this biggish set is from their February 1st edition. After the pics is a short promo video for the "Colors" photobook.
