Hinako Sakurai: A brief respite from her eternal sleep....

 

 Over the last few months have done quite a few of these posts, ones for faves who had disappeared for a way too long period of time. Keep hoping that it will be more than one or two posts for them though that hasn't been working out so well save for one woman. It was a bit of a running joke for a while about how unpopular Hinako was here, from 2018-20 no one's posts received fewer views and bet she had close to twenty in that period.

 Then in 2021 her posts did start to get a decent amount of views and that's when they sadly slowed way down! So from 2021-23 Hinako only had two posts per year, regular ones such as this but did recap two of her dramas. This is her first post for 2024 but for that one remaining fan(!) promise to have another post by the end of the month! Hinako really has been such a huge fave of mine for about six years, back in 2019 she finished in the fifth position on the yearly faves list and really wasn't all that far away from being number one!!!! I truly do like everything about Hinako 😍 from head to toe, what a fun gal she appears to be and while others may be more bodacious or attractive I think she looks so fabulous and quite alluring in her newest pics.

 This will be a bit of a smallish post, there are over fifty photos which actually is plenty for a decent post and need to start realizing that. First off are these recent pics from her IG page and could have had more, there will be in her next post. Hinako has been one of my favorite actresses over the last six years and saw just about every drama or movie she was in from 2018-22. However have only seen bits of one drama the last two years and mainly it's because she hasn't had many lead roles. 

 Do have a fair amount of new magazine spreads, all the pics in them are tremendous but none of the spreads are large enough. The reason for there being so many new spreads is that on September 6th Hinako will be releasing her second regular photobook! So will have two of the mini spreads today and the other pair in that next post which will be very soon as there will be an event for the book this Saturday. This first set is from the July 11th issue of Weekly Bunshun.

 Second spread for Hinako is from the September 10th edition of Flash, as you can see the pics are out of this world but why weren't there more pages?!

 Have another Flash spread however this is an oldie as it came out exactly five years ago to the day, September 3, 2019, and Hinako was the cover girl, in a way may prefer her conservative style....

 "Tokiiro" is the title of Hinako's second photobook that comes out this Friday, her first was released in 2017. This book is celebrating her tenth anniversary as an actress and she did make a comment about how some fans were against seeing swimsuit photos as like me enjoy her conservative style. Below are a few of the promo pics that have come out for the book, the first pic of the post is also for the book and that may be my favorite one to date.... nothing wrong with the fourth photo below either, wow!!!!

 Will end off with some super duper new event pics, she hasn't appeared at many the past year which is one reason for the lack of posts. Yesterday Hinako was at the grand opening of a new Shiseido pop-up store in Tokyo and also to promote a new beauty makeup, I really like the way she looks at events. Have plenty of terrific pics below from the event and following them is a video of it.
