Konoka Matsuda: Her mesmerizing fourteenth post!

 


 That second photo is so overly tremendous but how about that first one and it's difficult to only glance at it, whewwww! These solo posts for Hina have been steady over the last four or so months though wish there could be a few more of them. Just before writing this up was working on another group post for Keya, they had one last week which was their first since the end of January. That's about the time Hina had their last group post and have a strong feeling that it will soon be very hard to have many more solo posts for the members so think next month may have a group post or two as it's also been a while since a few member's names have been mentioned.



 This is the fifth solo post this year for Konoka which is a record for her, one more and she'll qualify for the yearly faves list. Which will happen as I do have her utterly perfect photobook to post but that won't happen for another two months. That would make six and if Konoka wants to finish in the top five think she would need at least two more of these posts which is easier said then done. A huge problem is when a '46' member has a photobook they're in the spotlight for over a month, after that we rarely hear from them for such a long stretch of time. Her last post was done on June 1st and did say another would be done before the month ended. Well of course that's this post and it is another terrific post as there's over eighty new pics for today.



 It's a requirement for every Idol photobook to have at least one pic of them brushing their teeth and will end off with a few more from the book which hadn't been seen here before. As mentioned there are many new pics for today and let's begin off with some from Konoka's IG page and she also posts them at the Hina group blog. The first two are for the August issue of Brody and all of the Hina members that have a radio show will each have a mini spread.





















 There won't be many more pics with that above duo as Ayaka will be graduating in eight days. She just had another solo post ten days ago which has been very popular, odds are high that will be her final solo post but if possible will try to do another for her. What would help Konoka and some other members if they want to have more solo posts is that the promo pics for the 'Uni's n Air' game start coming out on a regular basis again and don't know why none have been been released for two months. To me the best Hina group pics are for their 'Mysterious Library' game and below are five new ones for it.






\ No new cards have come out yet for Hina's latest single but sure they will be soon. That's okay as it meant I could post these older cards from 2018/19 which were for the season of Spring which ended about a week ago. You will be seeing some super duper new pics for today but think my favorites of them all are the bottom four pics here, I do prefer the more fun/conservative style of Konoka. Think the top four have been posted before but the ones for 2019 should be brand new for here.





















 Just one recent mag spread for Konoka that was promoting her photobook and it's from the May 31st issue of Flash but most of the pics had been seen before.






 May 28th is when Konoka's first ever photobook "Furimuite" was released, no member has a second book yet. On that day she held an event for the book and in her previous post had many pics from it. Have another batch from the event and none of these were in that prior post, as mentioned in a way prefer her more conservative style though still looks so ultra alluring to me....






















 Wasn't going to have this but thought why not as it does deserve an encore viewing. This was in a April Konoka post and she was the cover girl for the May 2nd issue of Weekly Shonen Champion, bet she's had close to ten covers for them.












 Don't know what the sales for the book were last week but in it's first three weeks out it was #1 on the charts and has sold a little over 59,000 copies. Guess that's okay as Hina books seldom sell as many as Nogi ones and if sales reach 70,000 guess that would be considered a success. Maybe it is close to that as sales that take place at concerts aren't counted by Oricon. The photo shoot took place in Vancouver, will end off with the pics below which are from the book and hadn't posted them before. All are so tremendous but how about that final one and doesn't Konoka get your blood boiling?!?! Always wait at least three months before posting an entire '46' photobook so will have it in September but in August will have another sweltering one for an ex-Nogi gal. Hina has their own YT channel for members to upload their own videos, it just so happens the last one added was by Konoka and that's after the ultra perfect pics. It's of how she trains at home and it being a '46' video of course it's a bit tame, bet others are like me and just once wouldn't you love to see a video from the photo shoot of a book?!?!
