Hinatazaka46: Their November 'Uni's on Air' game pics part two plus some other goodies....

 


 Only post for today but that's because I need some time. Time to write up a few others and if things go smoothly then there will be four for tomorrow! Once again was planning on doing a Keya group post but once again that didn't pan out, why has it been so hard to do group posts for them the last two months? Kyoko leads us off today and that's because there will be no pics of her in this post. Almost always try to save her things for a solo post and would like to do one for her in the next 3-4 days but have a feeling that won't work out. "Myakuutsu Kanjou" is the title of Hina's third album that came out three days ago. Sales to date are 137,000 copies sold which is decent these days but it's still a lower figure than their first album that came out in 2018, back then they were known as Hiragana46. There's only five new songs on the album out of a total of seventeen, really would have liked to have seen more but that's also been the case for the most recent Keya and Nogi albums.



 Tomorrow will be doing some sort of preliminary post for this year's faves list. Two Hina members will be in the top four and a third gal will make the list but in what position? That would be Shiho and have never had three from a group make the top ten in a year but most positions after the sixth spot are still up in the air. Won't be doing a post for Shiho until her position on the list comes up and hopefully by then will have her upcoming spread for EX-Taishu, some advance pics for it.






 No regular new mag spreads for today but do have a pair of sets from the last two issues of Friday dated for November 24th and 17th for their 'Hina-Satsu' series. always just a two page spread.





 Just did a post for Hina eight days ago but since then she's uploaded quite a few pics to her IG page. I really like those top ones and doesn't she look a few years older than 22?











 Few more IG pics which are for Mei and these days don't post enough things about her and there's a reason for that is which is that there's seldom many things to have of her.














 Once again will have some group cards for their last two singles "One Choice" and "Am I Ready?". First off is Akari, think she's back from her mini hiatus and she had to miss Hina's Autumn tour, following her is Mana and been trying to have more pics of her in these posts.





















 Have ten more members to get to for November's promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game, there were none for October. Leading off is the final first generation member Ayaka who had her 25th birthday post a week ago. Up next is Miku though you saw these in her last post and rounding out this batch of three members is Hina, all have had a post these last eight days.













 The above pair were from the second generation and so aren't this trio. First up is Hiyori who to me is just so darn attractive, once again will wonder who will be next in line for a photobook? It won't be Akari who follows her and had a book last year, hope she's back from her hiatus and up last is Nao who also had a book and it was the best selling one for any member to date.













 Final set of game pics are for the four third generation members, still think it's quite an odd theme for the month. First two feature the non-twins Haruyo and Marie, say non-twins as both have the same DOB which is February 23, 2004. Third up is Hinano who did have a book come out two months ago which did surprise me and that's one which I'll never end up having here. As usual save the best for last who is Mikuni and I just can't get over how attractive she has become, why hasn't some magazine or site signed her up to be a model???? Mikuni has never had a solo post but will soon, that will feature all of her game pics for the year plus a new mag spread so will wait for that to come out.

















 As far as the group's 'Aimashou' variety show goes the enjoyment level for it this year has been way up and down, one problem could be fitting all of the new fourth generation members into the episodes. Will give a quickie recap for the latest show to be subbed by TeamHinatasubs, it was episode #233 that aired on October 22nd. This was one of the better shows this year and what's become very common is that this was part one of a two show challenge. The theme was an interesting one which was titled "Aim for whatever CM you like", the members had to come up with a storyboard for a commercial they would like to see or even make. Didn't realize this was a two part how until the very end when the segment got cut short and will continue on into the next show. The member with the most interesting and unique idea will have their CM turned into an actual video and I thought every proposal was a good one. The members drew their own storyboards, their drawing were just so-so but the scripts were to[ notch. If Mr. Pink Sweater Kasuga enjoyed your story then he could say continue and then it would be acted out live with Hina members. If you view the screenshots below they go in order of the action and could be better than reading my summary!

 Four out of the five members did have their storyboards acted out live, the only one who didn't as Sarina who led off the challenge. Her idea was a good one as she created her own kind of cough drop candy and after she graduates think she would make for a superb variety show host. Nao had an excellent idea for a CM which was titled 'Chasing Youth' though she had no product in mind. The hosts thought a tie in with a soda or some other drink would work well and the live segment featured the third generation members. Shiho too had an excellent idea which was also kind of a spoof as her CM would have featured a gloomy family, but once they began to wear a pink sweater like Kasuga's their whole life would change! Actually Shiho turned down the offer to have her idea be a live skit as she couldn't think of anything to add to her script. Up last was Mikuni and glad to see her get more screen time as she was also in Nao's skit. This was the final segment of the show but had to be cut off and will begin the next episode. Mikuni's idea for a CM was one featuring three or more members in a shampoo video which she coined the phrase 'Rich Hair, Rich Life'. That too was an enjoyable segment and this was the best show I've seen in a few months. As mentioned there's plenty of screenshots to help you follow the story a bit better. Hina has a second YT channel for the members and after the pics have a video that came out a week ago. It features Ayaka and Kumi, neither one was in this episode. The pair went to a golf shop to purchase their first ever set of clubs and we did see them taking many practice shots, to me their outfits were much better than their swings!
