Nogizaka46: The "Pairs" post #8- Hinako Kitano and Miona Hori....


 Been a while since the last 'pairs post', twenty months to be exact. Have often talked about reviving the series and guess that's something I need to work on. This was a spur of the minute post so may not be a huge as others but there's a new mag spread featuring the dynamic duo so thought they deserved to finally have their own post together though they do look quite fabulous solo....


 Sigh, don't even bother trying but if you do hope you don't discover the formula!!!! These two have been so close over the years though it's harder to notice it these days. Hinako and Miona both joined Nogi around the same time which was in May 2013. On the older 'Bingo!' shows the two always sat next to each other whispering and were often joined by a third mate, don't think the trio ever had any kind of team name. Hmmmm, did just mention how close these two were but looks like that friendship could be on the rocks and guess I can't lose either way....


 All for a rivalry but least let her keep her leg, will be hard dancing at concerts...
There are so many similar traits between the two, both are about the same height with Miona being two cm taller as she's 160 cm. Hinako is slightly older, three months to be exact as she was born on July 1996 and both are slowly getting up there in age. Sadly can't say that about enough of my huger Nogi faves who keep on graduating, don't think either one has any plans for that in the near future. Both also celebrated their 'Coming of Age' together, that event took place in January 2017. No solo pics of them but they were with the third member of their 'team'.





 I'm referring to Himeka who is second from the right, the threesome were so close for a long time until she graduated. Have never had a 'trio post' and probably never will as if there's not enough pics of them together then there wouldn't be for any Nogi members.





 Have two mag spreads coming up with one of them being from the tail end of 2016. Kind of surprised Hinako and Miona have only had two spreads together but first a few random pics.















 On the two mag spreads with the first set being the older one from a special Flash edition called 'Best of Autumn 2016'. Miona just wrapped up the "Zambi" drama, she also has a new film coming out at the end of June. To me Hinako could be one of Nogi's best actresses, she would fit in perfectly in a comedy or some sort of oddball series.










 Final pic of that set kind of brings a tear to your eye... can I be in the middle?! Last spread is a brand new one from the June issue of Brody with Hinako and Miona sharing the cover. They didn't have the only spread in the issue as there were four others and will have the pics in the next day or two. Have a short video after the pics promoting this issue, it has all of the members featured but the duo close out the video together.
