Keyakizaka46(Sakura): The highly anticipated(?) second.... Hono Tamura post!

 


 Doesn't that top pic remind you so much of Maimi Yajima and that's a high compliment!!!! 

These pics at the top are from Hono's first photobook which just came out two days ago, looks like it'll be one of the top books for 2021 and will have more pics from it throughout the post. Her first solo post was done on July 9th and with the PB coming out expected there to be many new happenings after that initial post. But that wasn't the case and was wondering why weren't they promoting Hono's PB more? Well that slew of pics have all come out at once such as more promo ones for the book, about five interviews and a new mag spread, so many pics there will be another post before the month is up.



 Won't post too, too many pics from the photobook as I'd like to save some for that next post. Though there was a large gap between posts guess I could have done one more that featured 32 pics from a recent Young Magazine pictorial. The mag had a special series titled 'Sakamichi Next Generation Plus' which had many pictorials for the newer '46' group members, hard to call Hono a new member since she's been with Keya since December 2018. Two pics from that set and seeing as how there's thirty more perhaps I can have two more upcoming posts.



 Glad to see Keya, now Sakura, won't have another permanent center as it's changed for their third single or eleventh overall. The title of the next single is "Nagaredama" which will be coming out on October 13th. The announcement was just made so not many pics yet but Hono will be the new center for that next single. That's okay by me and finally there's an older gal as a center as she'll be turning 23 a week after the single's release, could the PB be a reason she was chosen as the center?



 Let's get to the new pics which total 55 or so but as mentioned am holding many back, probably over forty. First set is a small one that are new promo pics for the group's 'Uni's on Air' web game.





 Plenty of pics from the Keya group Diary blog, as you can see many are of Hono promoting the new PB but there sadly couldn't be an event held for it.











 Hono has been making the rounds doing many interviews to promote the book, am also holding back some of those pics for her next post and this batch is from the Mantan Web site.








 More interview pics which are from the Crank site, here's the link to it: Crank interview








 Surprisingly there's just one new mag spread but at least Hono is the cover girl and it's from the September 1st issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday. On September 4th the Autumn/Winter 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show will be held but Hono won't be there and can't recall her ever appearing at one. The main requirement is that you have to be a model with a site or magazine, hard to believe with her attractive looks she isn't a model for anyone.











 Title of Hono's photobook which came out on August 17th is "Ippome" which means First Step. The photo shoots took place in Okinawa and Hokkaido and have many new promo pics for the book. Top four are the covers and how about that bottom pic?! Hono has hosted 'Showroom' twice this week to plug the photobook, after the pics is a video of the first day. EDIT: Sigh, once again a YT video has been deleted.
