Hinako Sano: 2020 Magazine scans #1 plus a few other tidbits....



 Let's hope that #1 isn't her only one of the year! That's because this is only Hinako's second post for mag spreads since October 2018, for about a two year stretch she averaged at least a post every other month. Did do a post last month for Hinako's 2018 photobook and what a massively popular post that has been. It was in the top ten for most views for about five weeks so know she still has a large amount of fans out there.
 Hinako rose to somewhat fame because of gravure spreads and pictorials but seemed she grew tired of them and retired from gravure modeling to become an actress. She was busy for a while but hasn't done that much in the past year. So it appears Hinako felt that 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em' as she's back to doing some provocative spreads and just released her fourth photobook.


 Title of Hinako's new photobook is simply "Hina", pics from it are of course tremendous but in all honesty I thought she looked better in her other books and huge pictorials. The PB was scheduled to be released on March 20th but for some reason came out ten days before, pics for it were taken in Hawaii. First week sales were decent as the book sold 5,500 copies which is impressive considering how much competition there is these days, few promo pics for the book. Of course there was no event for the PB as there's a ban on those activities in Japan which shows no end.











 Fine pics here are from Hinako's Line blog, she used to do a solid job at doing posts but has only done a handful since the beginning of February.









 She does do some regular modeling work such as for With magazine, these are from their site.









 Hinako is also a model for the ar magazine, this set is from their February issue. But it's the top two pics that are the best as they feature her with a massive fave of mine.











 On to the mag spreads, all are new sets except for this first spread that's from the December 6th issue of Friday, think they're Hinako's best new pics for today.








 What's odd to me is that there were only two new spreads to promote the photobook, Hinako has appeared in so many gravure mags over the years it's kind of surprising there weren't more. This set here is from the February 11th issue of Flash.









 Second spread for the PB is also from Flash and their March 17th edition. After the pics check out a new Hinako CM for Glico, it also features a huge fave of so many of you viewers.
