Hinatazaka46: A huge amount of this and that's....




 Long, long time since the last group post, April 4th to be exact. Don't why I've been so hesitant to post about them as they are a fun bunch of gals and overall may like most of the members more than I do than the ones in Keya. So many pics have accumulated over the past four months won't be able to get to some of them and will just try to have a little bit of everything. Been a slow period lately for my faves so perhaps I'll do another post this Week for them. If not then will definitely be doing another by the end of the month as Hina's first group photobook comes out on the 28th.
 The group's two singles have sold quite well, first one has sales of 600,000+ to date. The second one also has been a solid seller as first week sales were 448,000 copies sold but it really dropped fast after week one on the charts. Their songs are okay but really thought the songs on Keya's singles may have been a bit better, nothing wrong with either single but the songs just really don't stand out.




 The second season of 'HinaBingo!' began last month, if it ever gets subbed will be checking it out. Thought the members were always excellent when they appeared on 'KeyaBingo!'. But who knows if or when the show will be subbed, season one's subs haven't even been completed yet so maybe I'll just have to back and watch that instead once they're done.



 As mentioned April 4th was the last group post though did have one for Kyoko two weeks ago. So what that means are many things have been missed, will get to some today but there's too many activities to catch up on such as these pics from the April 20th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show.





























 Few of the pics above were of Shiho who really has blossomed into a dazzling woman, pics here are from the May 18th 'Girls Award' show. But the member whose looks have really improved over the years is Kumi who certainly looked tremendous at the same show.
















 More pics with Kumi from the July 27th TGC show in Toyama but it wasn't as large as their other shows so there weren't too many pics, also have a few with Ayaka.









 Some members will be at the next TGC show which will take place on September 7th, for that show will do devote a whole post for it.





 All of the above member's modeling careers have really taken off, especially Shiho's. Two weekends ago Hina performed at the Tokyo' Idol Festival' which is such a huge show. So big they only did six songs which is about the number most groups did.





















 Some pics from the Non-no site as five are now models for the site though Mirei seems to have the most pics there by far.









 Have even more Kumi pics and she honestly looks so super duper these days. She's now an exclusive model for Ray and these pics all rate an A+.












 Trio of members share the first spread which is from the July 2nd SPA!, Shiho is in the middle.






 Know I'm not tired of looking at Kumi pics and perhaps this could have been s solo post for her. This set features her and is from the June 4th issue of Flash.






 As mentioned at the top Hina is releasing their first group photobook on August 28th. Title of it is "Tachikogi" and the pics for ti were shot in Okinawa. Hopefully there will be a few more spreads for it and there should be an event for it so may wait for that to happen before the next post is done. Have one terrific spread for it which is from the August 26th edition of WPB. Shiho's solo pic is easily her best to date and this is the fist time most members have had any gravure pics, tenth pic is a group one where Kyoko looks too unbelievable to believe!
