Hina Kawata: Her hypnotizing twelfth post....

 

 **** Bit of a heads up and it's for something that won't last for too long. The posts will be coming on a sporadic basis over the next two weeks as I have three exams coming up and a scholar is not an adjective to describe me. So need to do a bit of studying which means there will be less blogging, for instance there may only be one post this weekend. That off and on posting will continue for a while after that but once the studying is done things will get back to normal. It will be a nice change if for once I can let things pile up and and that hasn't happened for a while.

 Here's a massive favorite of so many of you visitors and the posts for Hina(the gal for today!) have really slowed down and may only have one more ever for her after today. Hope that's not the case but I have still never done a post for a Hina(the group!) member for activities they've done after graduating but may. have one in the next month or so. Hina's first photobook came out about four years ago and did a post for it 3 1/2 years ago, the Summer of 2022. That's been the second most viewed group post as it has 17,320 views to date(!) and it deserves to be so popular as what a book it is, I've never been so surprised with a book and mean that in a positive way.

 These pics at the top are from her first photobook, will have some pics for book #2 to end off the post. Sadly the days of me following the group Hina are coming to an end, there's a graduation coming up which will mean only two second generation members will be left and for how long???? My top Nogi members are from their second generation but the more I think about overall Hina's 2G gals were actually better than Nogi's and also the 1G members from Hina. All of the IG members are gone too so if you're like me and have been a long time fan of the '46' groups the last few years have been brutal as so few older members are left though Keya still has many 2G gals still there. Oh well, there's nothing any of us can do about so many members leaving and twenty years from now will someone be like me and moan about so many recent 2045 graduations????

 I've always liked Hina who will be hitting the age of 25 this July but to me looks a bit older than that and also has seemed to be the most mature of all Hina members. That first photobook blew me away like no other book has and though Hina the group doesn't have nearly as many books as other groups quality wise they're the best! Nogi has had three members who have done gravure modeling after graduating, Keya has had one do that also and would love to see Hina become the first graduated member to have a gravure digital book(s). Though only 154 cm what a figure she has and the way she's staring at me in the above pic.... gulp!!!! Since Hina's November 19th graduation she hasn't done much of anything which is way too common for graduated Idols. I'm no expert but have done enough posts for ex-Idols, those who don't take long vacations are much more likely to have a successful solo career and would like to see that happen with Hina so hope she's reading this and hope her break doesn't stretch on much longer.

 All eight pics above are from Hina's first photobook, aren't those pics simply hotter than the Sun? To me and many readers they are so even though book #2 is also terrific there was no way Hina was going to top that first book. Have a little bit of many things, it's so difficult doing solo posts for Hina members as this is just her twelfth but will be having a post soon(March?) for the second book. First up are these photos from the group blog, like Keya's it also titled 'Diary' and these are all from November. On the 19th Hina's graduation concert took place at the Yoyogi National Stadium and there are some pics from it, to me those are such sad occasions.

 Here's a batch of some snazzy pics which are Hina's final group cards which came out between July and October. You rarely see cards for graduations but have seen them for Keya and SKE members.

 From 2021 until early 2024 Hina appeared in so many magazines, more than most other members but for some odd reason the spreads for Idols has slowed down so much in the last two years. What shocked me was that there was no magazine spread to promote Hina's second book and why would that happen? Perhaps I missed one but it couldn't have been too large if I overlooked it. So have a spread that was promoting her first book and this set is from the March 11, 2022 issue of Friday, Hina was often the cover girl for the magazines she appeared in.

 There are no adjectives that are perfect enough to describe that above photo, that's certainly in the 'Nao's Photo Hall of Fame'!!!! Will have one more mag spread and think this is Hina's last one to date which is from the February 19th issue of Weekly Shonen. As you can see Hina once again graced the cover and i bet Hina members have been the cover girls at least forty times for this magazine!

 To date Hina is the only member with two photobooks, there's an upcoming graduation but don't think that member will be having a farewell book. "Takeoff" is the title of the book which was released on November 11th, on that day Hina also held an event for the book and just once before I die would love to see a '46' book have a DVD from the photo shoot.

 Of all places Denmark was the location Hina traveled to for the photo shoot, first time I can recall a book being set there. At one time many '46' members traveled to Europe for a book and this is this first time in five years that's happened. Other countries have been Sweden, Germany, France, Greece, Finland, England and Spain. Below are some of the promo pics for the book and she's truly is one alluring woman, how I wish she could have had many more posts.

 We've hit the end and of course there will be one more post for Hina which will be for the book. I always wait at least three months before posting an Idol book so was thinking of doing the post for it on March 1st and below are some actual photos from the book. After the pics is a lame video but the final one of Hina with my top member(?) and she'll be leaving the group in three weeks.... sob, sob....
