No slight on the group for I had been thinking about doing one for Aqours instead but just started a bit late on it, perhaps you'll see it in a few days. Have done a pair of solo posts but this is Hina's first group one since August, do like the gals quite a bit so don't know why I keep putting their posts off. Would think there will be at least 3-4 of them coming up in the next two months as their fourth single will be coming out on February 19th.
Plus many members will be at the TGC show on February 29th and would imagine they'll be plenty of mag spreads too. Won't go into any details about the single but will have that info in their next post, so far the covers for it haven't been released. At the top is the PV for Hina's third single "Konna ni Suki ni Nachatte Ii no" which came out on October 2nd, they released three singles in a six month period. Of course it hit #1 on the charts and to date has sold close to 600,000 copies, it was the ninth best selling single last year and here are the covers for it.
Here's two promo pics for the upcoming single which is titled "Sonna Koto Nai yo".
This is kind of a big post though it could have been much larger. Holding back a few things for the next group post which I'll do by the end of the month. But even though this is the first group post since August still won't be going back to fill in missing things or at least for now as there's enough new activities for today. What a wise decision(for a change) management made in allowing the girls to become their own group as they would have always remained in Keya's shadow.
Their three singles last year have sold close to two million copies and they're almost as popular as Keya is these days. So much so that on December 15th they were presented with the 'Line News' award for being the most popular Idol group for 2019, hard to believe they edged out Nogi.
These days so many Hina members appear at the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' shows, so many they beat the combined total of Nogi and Keya. Think eight members were at last Saturday's show, have four here and you saw pics in Kyoko's recent solo post. They also performed a few tunes which they'll be doing again at the next TGC show in six weeks. Quite a few members are exclusive models for some sites and magazines which is why they're always invited to these shows. Don't have any new modeling pics for today but will in their next posts.
Speaking of Kyoko will have her lead off the spreads with this set from the February issue of ar and what a huge fave of mine she's become. Really noticed her in the "Re:Mind" drama and the group did have a new series which began this week. Don't know much about it yet but hoping it's a regular show and will have more info on that coming up.
Hina's first group photobook came out in August and as expected was a huge seller. Checked the Oricon charts for this week and it's back in the top ten for sales. Last post had a huge spread from WPB #33 promoting it, this is another set for the PB from the October 8th issue of Flash. That third pic definitely rates an A++++!
Will be ending off with a pair of brand new group spreads and these days they're usually the cover girls. The sets are mainly conservative but then again so aren't the ones for Nogi lately, this fine spread is from the January edition of Young Magazine.
To end off have another spread where the gals are the cover girls, this final set is from the January 17th issue of Young Gangan.
