Hinatazaka46: A little(lot) bit of this and that for 2022 #5....

 


 Bit of a 'quickie post' as there hadn't been a regular group post for over three weeks. Hina remains very busy but not so much since the beginning of the year compared to 2021. Wonder if they stepped back a bit to let the two recent Nogi photobooks and graduations get more attention, noticed the three '46' groups will do that for each other. Hopefully Hina won't let the other two groups get most of the attention the next two months as Nogi's next single comes out on March 23, then on April 13th Keya's new single will be released. No word on when Hina will next be putting out any new music or if for the third year in a row they'll have a Spring drama, those things pop up unexpectedly.



 Whew, how about that above pic!!!! That's a new promo one for Hina Kawata's first photobook that will be coming out in eleven days, she's had a few other pics for the book so hope to have a post for her right around when the book comes out. Was reading that the book has published 100,000 copies and will already have a reprint coming up, never knew she was that popular. Wish I could do another Hina 'pairs post' as that second one done has had so many views but there just aren't duos in the group with enough pics for a post. That second one featured Konoka and Suzuka, that's been one of the most viewed posts for the past month and will hopefully have some solo posts for them on the horizon. Been working on one for Miku but that hasn't panned out which is a bit surprising.



 As mentioned in the beginning this is a bit of a quickie post so let's get to things. That 'Uni's on Air' series is now complete but promo pics for the web game will always come out most months. Have some brand new ones for February featuring Mirei, Mei, Hinano and Mana.

















 I like Ayaka quite a lot but for so long there just weren't many new pics for her. Have some terrific new ones though for her today and this small batch is from the Anan site.







 This is the first solo spread for Ayaka in quite a long time. It's from the March issue of  EX-Taishu and the bottom four pics are from the photo shoot.









 In every weekly issue of Friday Hina has a two page spread titled 'Hina Satsu'. These are from the last seven issues and work backwards from newest to oldest.















 Wow, talk about finishing a post in record time! Did say it hasn't been as busy of a period of Hina and we're already at the end of the post but there were close to seventy new pics. Final batch is a huge spread that's from the March 2nd issue of Weekly Shonen. It features Akari who is really becoming such a popular member the last six or so months. Joining her is Kyoko who I usually have solo posts for, she will have one next month and has perhaps become the most popular woman I post about. There should be many Hina posts in a month for on March 21st the Spring 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show will be held and sure about ten or more members will be taking a stroll on the catwalk. This spread is twelve pages, have five from the photo shoot mixed in for a total of seventeen. Been a few recent solo videos but none with many members so will skip having a video for today.
