Hinatazaka46: The thirst quenching fifth.... Miku Kanemura post!

 


 Gulp, you really don't have much an option when a Hina member wants a post! But had wanted to have one for Keya today but they've had so many recent posts have used most of my pics up. So then thought Hina was also deserving of a group post as they've only had one in seven weeks. However that didn't work out wo well as you've noticed and kind of surprised there aren't more things for them as their seventh single comes out in less than a week, think by Sunday there will be a group post.

 So if you're a Miku fan hope that doesn't sound as she was some bottom of the barrel pick for a post! That's far from the case as this is already her fifth post of the year and very few other Idols have topped that number this year. Miku just had a post at the beginning of the month and there hasn't been as many new things as I would have liked for this post. But she's someone who I've come to really like, wish she was a bit older but she's got this certain 'aura' around her. Odds are good she'll make the fave's list this year and at twenty in age would set a record for being the youngest. But as I've said a few times before in group posts last year Miku kind of dominated them with more pics than anyone else so decided why not start doing solo posts for her(?) which have been just so-so popular.



 It's kind of refreshing to do posts for actresses and Idols that don't have any gravure pics, have done more of them than usual lately which I kind of like. To date Hina has had three group dramas, with their new single coming out thought there was a good chance of their fourth airing which sadly didn't happen. Hina's first drama as "Re:Mind" which aired before the second generation joined and it's one of the top '46' group dramas, highly recommend it. That's not the case for their second drama "DASADA" which aired in 2020, did watch the first few episodes but just couldn't get into it as it was way too fluffy. So that brings us to Hina drama #3 which was "Koeharu!"" which aired exactly a year ago. Now that was a solid show and did recap the entire series, think the rating I gave was around 8.5/10. If you enjoyed the 2018 drama "Koe Girl" then this was a drama you'd also like as they're very similar. Both are about a group of young females whose dream is to become a voice actress, in this series seven Hina members lived in a dorm working towards their dream.

 Instead of attending a regular college the seven went to a voice actress university and so didn't many other woman their age. Won't go into too many details on what happened as you can just read the recaps, bit fluffy at times but all in all it was a series all Hina fans should view. In the drama Miku played the role of Yukina who may have been the most talented of all seven girls. Yukina's first dream had been to be an Idol but she flopped at that badly. So she thought by enrolling at a voice actress school it may help her career, especially with her voice. But that didn't turn out well for Yukina who did learn quite a bit but wasn't able to land any roles for animes. Her best friend did which sent Yukina into such a frenzy with her jealousy and she learned quite a lesson from that. In the final two episodes there was a big audition for an anime which was based upon a manga so was sure to be a hit movie. However Yukina couldn't even pass the first audition though the producer did like her voice, in the end run it worked out well as she was appointed as the ambassador for this new movie. Got the series at TeamHinata Subs if you are looking for the show.























 On to a few new tidbits and have some recent pics here from the Bis magazine site but there's been so many fewer pics compared to a year ago.






 Have another small batch of new pics which are the monthly ones for the 'Uni's on Air' web game and I think these pics are always so superb.





 Hina had a few CM's for Icebox that came out a month ago. But instead of them have a behind the scenes video which does have Miku plus a few other members: Icebox video



 Last year it seemed Miku appeared in more magazines than any other Hina member. She had a pair in January but no solo ones since then though has been in a few group spreads. Her next one with her two mates here will be in an upcoming issue of Weekly Shonen Champion, some advance pics for the spread which will be in a group post but wish she started to have solo sets again.






 So there being no new spreads let's go back a bit in time to last Autumn. Miku was the cover girl for Platinum Flash which comes out quarterly.















 Will end off with these ultra super duper pics which are from the Spring 'Girls Award' show that took place on May 14th. Miku took her stroll on the 'Spiral' stage and I thought she looked better than any other Hina member at the show. There's seldom any good videos from those events so after the pics have one from Sony Insurance that came out six months ago, am shocked it has over 500,000 views.
