Hina Kawata: Yet another in the series of.... 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒏'𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 posts....

 

 That top pic is just so EPIC(!) but then again so weren't so many others from that first photobook and where's the second???? Was just thinking that there have been so many posts this year with a similar title and kind of wish there weren't. It is nice that many women who hadn't had a post for such a long stretch have had some this year so that's a big positive. But on the other hand it meant they had gone seemingly eons without one which is a huge negative, not much I can do about that if someone goes so long without doing many new activities and have become used to it. As said a few times lately this is one of those slow stretches for my faves which happens now and again, of course I wish it didn't but this has been a good year up until now so no use complaining and it has allowed me to return to viewing dramas. Just did finish up an older series from 1987/88, just began on the "Sukeban Deka 1' drama from 1985 and my head is still spinning by how confusing things are! This is the second post for a member in three days but don't expect many if any more in the near future....

 Speaking of dramas how come there hasn't been a Hina group one for a while? They still remain a very popular group but in a way that's mainly because their singles still sell well, as far as the members go almost all do fewer activities than they once did and I just don't understand why things like that happen, could say the same for Keya/Sakura too. Will once again use the word EPIC as the top one right above is also so cold shower inducing, it's been three years since that book came out! It's also been close to a year since the last post for Hina and I do miss having these kinds of posts for my top members. As of yesterday all of the first generation members have graduated and along with many fans feel that the too big of a push the 4G member received played a huge reason in eight members leaving in four months. So I hope my favorite 2G gals stick around for a while as when they leave that may be it for Hina posts, the group and not today's honoree! So will say that Hina has moved up to be my third fave member, she'll be turning 24 this July and to me she's always looked a few years older than she is, she also acts more mature than others a few years older. Of course I didn't want to go a year without any posts for Hina but I sadly had no choice in the matter, there's been a huge decrease in magazine spreads and no recent events but least there are over fifty new pics for today though none that are as sweltering as these above....

 To me Hina seems to be a popular member and has been for a while yet the last couple of years she 's done so little but you can say that about a few other of her 2G mates also. She does host a radio show and has for two years but doesn't do much besides that such as being a model or appearing at events though who knows, maybe she prefers staying out of the spotlight. First up for newish pics are these Hina group cards for January and December, there's been none since than but they do seem to come out in batches.

 What's also been sporadic are the promo game cards for 'Uni's on Air', at one time four pics for each member would come out each month and not one month was missed for at least three years. That all stopped last April as those pics are seldom posted at the game's site which is a shame as they're so terrific and it's yet another mystery which I can't explain. Do have some pics below that hadn't been posted, first eight are from January while the rest are from October, besides that there hasn't been any for the other months which also has played a factor in there being less posts for Hina and Keya.

 To date have never done a post for a Hina member after they've graduated, they really didn't start happening until a year ago but now the floodgates are wide open! Have tried twice having one for Kyoko recently as she has been at a pair of events but that's been it for her, she was in a drama that just finished airing but hasn't been in any magazines nor done any modeling work since leaving Hina and bring that up for Kyoko graduated exactly a year ago and do I miss her!

 Hina has never appeared in magazines on a consistent basis but up until 2024 would probably have a solo spread every three months and would also be in a few group spreads. But in the last year she's only had one solo spread and she usually is the cover girl for those, this is her only one for close to a year which is from the February 19th issue of Weekly Shonen. Don't have the stats but I would wager a lot of $$ that the members have had more spreads for them than any other magazine and sure it's by a huge margin.

 Here's Hina's previous spread before that one which is from the April 19, 2024 edition of Young Gangan so the above has been her only spread since then.

 Seeing as how this will be the only spread for today may as well make it a bit larger and will have one more older spread which is from the August 7, 2023 issue of Big Comic Spirits. As mentioned Hina usually is the cover girl for the magazines she appears in, at 154 cm think she's the shortest of the 2G members but a first generation gal was a tad shorter.

 Will end off with some pics from Hina's first and only photobook, it came out in March 2022 and at over 110,000 copies sold it's been the third best selling book from a member. So the question is where is the second book and hope we don't have to wait until she graduates, no member has had a second book. The post for it has been so immensely popular as it's received almost 15,000 views to date, will say that was the most pleasant surprise of any Idol book as I never realized how sweltering Hina looks, some of the photos sure left me speechless!!!! Hina the group has a YT channel for members to upload videos which are mainly solo ones. Don't have a solo video for today but the one after the pics is worth a view as Hina is a camera(wo)man for the video and she followed around Konoka for a day, she too is a member I have really missed doing posts for and it was uploaded on March 8th.
