Bit of a mini post but then again it may not be but needed to 'break the ice' for a bigger fave of mine. Kyoko by far is my #1 member of Hinatazaka46 and has been since I viewed their "Re:Mind" drama from 2017. The group had another drama earlier this year titled "DASADA" but I just couldn't get into the show. Like so many J-Pop groups Hina has been very quiet these last five months and haven't released a single since February which was their fourth one since the name change and was the group's best selling single to date.
But there are signs the group is becoming more active as they did a recent streaming performance plus on September 23rd will be releasing their first album. Actually it'll be the group's second one but the first was when they were known as Hiragana and were a subgroup of Keyakizaka46, what a wise decision it was to break away from them. Hina songs are good but think the other '46' group's tunes are better as they seem to have more energy. But then again Hina may have the most likable members and will try to get to a few group posts soon.
One member of Hina had a photobook two years ago plus there was a group one which sold very well. But where are books for other members and especially for Kyoko who truly is so sultry in her own kind of way. Though this is just her first post since March she does have four for the year and can see Kyoko having two more next month to qualify for the yearly faves list. For the second time she'll be the cover girl for an issue of Platinum Flash which comes out next week.
Plus she'll be appearing at the September 5th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show along with many other Hina members. But what's special about that date is that on September 5th Kyoko will be celebrating her 23rd birthday and she probably doesn't look it. So will try to do a post around that date for the occasion and these pics are from the January 12th TGC show held in Shizuoka.
Would love to see a mag spread with this duo though odds are good it'll never happen.... then again if the pair continue to act so brazenly.....
Sigh, how do these '46' gals keep tricking me like that.....
Though Hina no longer is associated with Keya the two groups still share the same mobile game called 'Keaykise' which first began three years ago. Don't think I've ever posted any promo cards for the game so here's a few of them plus don't think I've ever posted any kind of Hina cards.
Hard to top someone like Kyoko coming down my chimney on X-Mas day but doesn't seem many others share that view as her posts surprisingly have never been that popular. Some recent pics from the Hina blog and no Idol posts more pics than she does.
Kyoko has been an exclusive model for the ar magazine since June 2019 but her pics with them have really slowed down, these are the only new ones at their site since June..
The last time she appeared in one of their mags was their May issue.
Final thing for today and it ended up being a good sized post, keep saying I need to make them smaller but it never works out. Kyoko was the cover girl for the June 4th edition of Weekly Shonen Champion which is her last spread to date but should be appearing in a few next month.
