Hinatazaka46: The highly anticipated first solo post for.... Hiyori Hamagishi!!!!

 


 Back to back posts for a Hina member and there will be yet another tomorrow! With their next single coming out on October 26th there may be quite a few posts for Hina coming up, their group posts are somewhat popular but these solo posts are what fans really seem to enjoy. Am almost done with having at least one solo post for all the members who I like, just one more to go and that leaves nine others who I do like but won't be having a post for them any time soon.


 Hiyori's birthday is on September 28th so wanted to wait until then for her first ever solo post. But thought why wait and with any luck she'll have her second post in about three weeks. There's too many to add up but wouldn't be surprised if Hiyori has more pics in group posts this year than any other member. So like the other members who have posts will be holding most of her pics back for solo ones. At 167 cm Hiyori is Hina's second tallest member and the only one to hail from Fukuoka, just checked and six out of twenty members have a birthday in September! There's been two recent Hina photobooks and both have been quite good, especially the newest one. But for some reason have thought for quite a while now that a Hiyori book would be the best of any member or at least darn close! It's not easy to tell sometimes because '46' members don't do gravure spreads but she seems to have quite the figure and hope someday to find out if my assumption is correct!



 On to many new pics and and will hold a few back for as mentioned would like to have anther post in about three weeks. One thing Hiyori does not do as well as other members is post many solo pics on Hina's group blog, these are most of them from the past two months.









 Really starting to like these promo pics for the 'Mysterious Library' game and wish they had more of them, these are it for 2022 which go from newest to oldest.









 It's not the end of the world when there's no recent mag spreads though they do help fill a post out plus the pics are usually superb. As a matter of fact the last few months have done most posts for Hina or Keya that haven't featured any new mag spreads. That's the case for today and still wonder why there's been such a decrease in them this year for the two groups. Have an older set which is so terrific and it's Hiyori's only solo cover to date which is from the June 2, 2021 issue of Weekly Sunday Shonen.









 September marks the first anniversary of Hiyori as a With model. Her pics from them are second to none and these are from the last three months but there's been a slowdown on them lately, not just for her but the other two '46' members that are also models for the web magazine.

















 When I see pics like those above it makes me think how alluring Hiyori would be in her own photobook. Being a model for With means she gets to appear at those huge fashion shows and she does sparkle at them. On October 8th she and seven other Hina members will be at the Autumn 'Girls Award' show so that's why I'm hoping there can be another post shortly after that. This batch of pics gets a grade of A++++ from me and is from the September 3rd 'Tokyo Girls Collection' Autumn/Winter show, she took her stroll on the 'TGC Sustaina Stage'.



















 Will end off with some fabulous Hiyori promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game. These go backwards from July until March and am saving her newest ones for that next post. After the pics is a video I had never knew existed, perhaps it'll be less than thrilling to most but it needed to be posted. Hiyori had one of the main roles in the "Borderless" drama that aired in the Spring of 2021 and it featured seven '46' members, she was paired up in that show with my #1 of all time!!!!
