Hinatazaka46: The semi historical.... second Hina Kawata post!

 


 Do enjoy taking days off but really hate it when it's because there's nothing to post about! It did come close to happening today but just couldn't let that happen and for a spur of the moment post think this one turned out to be fairly decent. As mentioned bit of a slow stretch for the three '46' groups though things should be picking up, especially for Nogi who have their next single coming out in March. Haven't heard one word about it but I would think Keya's(Sakura) next single will be coming out in April. So that leaves Hina and guess you have to think May is when their next single would be coming out. February marks their third anniversary of breaking away from Keya and changing their name from Hiragana46. They've been the busiest Idol group the last few years but haven't released all that much music in three years, six singles and an album.



 Right at the end of December did Hina's first ever solo post, can't recall if it was popular or not. That was part of the 'Uni's on Air' series which for the most part is complete but do have more older pics for the game today. The one surprising thing is there's been no solo spreads recently for Hina and that's because her first photobook will be coming out in March. Only had four promo pics for it in that first post but have twenty for today and some are truly superb. Not that she was a bad selection for the group's third photobook as she is deserving but thought a few other members would have had a book first, hopefully that'll happen sometime this year.



 The Hina members do such a terrific job at uploading pics and writing posts at their group blog. Hate to say it but Hina herself doesn't do as good of a job, just these blog pics since mid December.












 Been trying to have a post for her mate in the bottom pic but that hasn't worked out quite yet, hopefully by the end of the week. Seeing as there's no recent solo spreads for Hina will go back in time, two years to be exact a special Flash edition titled 'Best of Winter 2020'.









 As mentioned Hina's first solo post was part of the 'Uni's on Air' series of promo pics for the web game. That post had all of her ones from 2021 and to me those game pics are so terrific, have another batch for today which are from 2020 and go from December to July.

































 We've hit the end, lot of pics but not that many different things. "Omoide no junban" is the title of Hina's first photobook, think it's coming out on March 1st but for some reason thought it was going to be released on the 8th. May not matter and will try to have her next solo post in early March then, the photo shoot took place in her hometown of Shimonoseki. Read that there's an initial printing of 100,000 copies and I didn't think she was that popular but obviously Hina is, it's also going to be the largest photobook of any '46' group as it'll have 256 pages! That's a massive book and twice the size of a regular one, will end off with some fabulous promo pics for the book and the bottom two are my faves, top few are pretty darn good too! After the pics is a video for the January 24th 'Showroom' where she did some promoting of the book.
