Hinatazaka46: A little(huge) bit of this and that for 2022 #17....

 


 Earlier today did a post for the 16th position on the 'All Time Top Twenty Faves' list. Been doing a post for that every three days which means on Tuesday it's number 15's turn. Kyoko won't be in that spot but she will be for the position after that so expect a post for her next Friday and she really hasn't had all that many this year. The last solo pot for a member took place two weeks ago and it was for Akari, her first ever solo post. That was extremely popular as it hit that section for the ten most viewed posts of the past month. So before August is up will have her second ever post, do have her photobook so will include some pics you've never seen from it such as these.



 If things work out well there may be another 3-4 solo posts this month, the next may be for Mei who in ten days celebrates her 24th birthday and she too has a photobook coming out. Those upcoming posts will be for members who won't be at the September 3rd 'Tokyo Girl Collection' show and as usual Hina has more members taking strolls on the catwalk than the other two '46' group. Here's the eight who will be there and there will be at least three solo posts out of the eight, possibly a fourth.


 The fourth 'maybe' solo post would be for Hiyori and she's never had one to date, would love to see her have a book! She celebrates a birthday at the end of September so perhaps that would be the best time for her first ever post, here's some Hina group cards of her from earlier this year.

















 For a long time Keya has been associated with Lawson which is a convenience store chain in Japan, they've had CM's and some tie-ins for their singles. Now Hina is also working with them and here's the link to the site to check out some videos and such: Lawson site



 Konoka is one of the members who I hope to have a post for this month as it's been way too long since her last one, have some recent pics from Keya's group blog. She and the next member still post their pics there as not too many Hina gals use IG yet.











 The other blog pics belong to Mikuni and she too has a birthday at the end of September. She's the second tallest Hina member and she towers over some of her mates.











 Here's a batch of some really super duper pics and hope there's more of them coming out soon. Hina has a trio of members who are now models for the Uniqlo site and they always have superb pics there, the threesome are Ayaka, Kumi and Miku who also has a birthday in September! As a matter of fact three more members have a birthday in September which means six out of 21 members turn a year older in that month.














 Think this should wrap up the July promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game. Have a quartet of members who are Hiyori, Ayaka, Sarina and Yuka.

















 This year's Tokyo Idol Festival may have been the largest in it's history. In the past usually the more popular groups didn't perform but many of them were there this year and perhaps it was because of the decrease in their concerts. Hina was there for a performance on August 7th but only did six songs, it appears group concerts could only be about thirty minutes. Have plenty of pics here from the show and after that is a video of it. Not the best quality but it's the full concert and Hina's shows could be the most enjoyable of any current J-Pop group.
