Hinako Sano: "Best Hinako!" photobook from 2018 scans

 Didn't occur to me until recently but there's been a big slowdown on those huge pictorials for gravure models. However there's no shortage of them but seems there's too much of a glut these days with too many gravure models which is also the case for J-Pop Idols. Sure there's thousands of models nowadays who all look quite good but seems 99% of them I don't care enough about to have a post for. There's really only been 10-15 gravure models who have a somewhat decent amount of posts here and the number who have had posts recently has really dwindled.
 There's also been a shortage of photobooks lately and a few viewers have requested some of them. Have become a bit leery on posting Idol books as I did get a warning last November about two books. It's difficult to determine which photobooks are okay to post, Hello Project ones are always safe but that's not always the case for AKB or Nogi books. Not just me either who hasn't been posting books as many other sites may have received warnings too as they've slowed down on posting them. But there really aren't all that many missing here, mainly ones from 2019 for Keya and a few oddball ones but it's always save to post books for gravure models or actresses.

 Hinako is one of my all time gravure models but you couldn't tell that by the lack of posts she's had the past 1 1/2 years. This is only her second one since September 2018, some is my fault as I do have a few mag spreads from late 2019 that'll be posted soon. But most of the slowdown lies with Hinako who took such a long break from modeling and only appeared in two spreads in a one year stretch. Have a feeling she wanted to retire from gravure modeling but it's hard to do that when you're so popular and most of your income probably comes from mag spreads and photobooks.
 So if there's any Hinako fans out there and know that there are expect two posts with new spreads and other things next month. On March 7th she'll be releasing her fourth photobook which is first one since this came out. Sure there will be an event for the PB along with some new mag spreads plus I'll have the ones that have never been posted. On to this set of truly breathtaking pics which was a huge PB as there's close to a hundred pics. The book was released on July 11, 2018 and the pics were taken in Hawaii. Not too many outdoor pics as Hinako said at an event for the book that it rained every day while she was there, doesn't really matter as she looks so utterly alluring.... as usual....
