Hinatazaka46: The glittering 'Kyoko Saito post' #9.....

 

 Only post for today or at least the only one that will be published. Finally worked out what's going to be happening for this year's faves list. It will consist of twenty but will be only be having sixteen position posts. That's how it was done in those preliminary lists and will continue with that format but have been labeling the lists as having twenty. So next Saturday and Sunday(Monday?) will be having a pair of intro posts to explain who may not have made it and other tidbits. In the second post will have positions twenty through seventeen and will explain why it was done that way then.

 Usually when a post has an intro like that it means it has something to do with the main heroine(?) and that's the case for today. So you've probably surmised Kyoko won't be in the top sixteen yet will make the list which she can put on her resume!!!! She made two preliminary lists finishing around 15th, I kind of peg her for being #17 for this year. Would like to end the countdown by December 22nd , if it's started on November 24/25th it would mean twenty posts in 28 days which I'd rather not do. So will make this Kyoko's fave's list post and she'll have the honor of being the first one and as mentioned will make her 17th. In my eyes that's an impressive feat considering how many women I post about and she did beat out some long time faves, the competition this years is at it's highest level ever.

 Sigh, won't get into the story about those 'cuffs! When someone gets introduced I usually think they'll be popular or at least hope so. There's been a few in the last two years who have shocked me with how much viewers like them, very seldom do newbies disappoint me with how many views their posts get. Really just two of them over those last two or more years and one happens to be Kyoko. I think so highly of her and while her posts get a decent amount of views it's much lower than I expected but she is more popular than most actresses. Bet the lack of gravure pics has something to do with that and how I wish she could have a photobook. One Hina member is extremely popular here and will be doing another post for her after December 1st so the post counts towards the 2021 list.

 Not trying to sell her old posts but they are worth checking out as they're among the best posts I've done for an Idol this past year. Today's is another super duper one and have such a wide variety of things as usual. On September 5th Kyoko celebrated her 23rd birthday and am glad we haven't heard any graduation rumors about Hina's older members which is one reason I've become a bit more fond of them. Her last post had these b-day cards....

.... and have even a few more along with some older group cards.

 Also have some promo cards for the online app game 'Otome Kagura' which features members from Hina, Keya and Nogi, top four are brand new.

 Karen Motomiya is her character's name in the game. Very few Idols posts as many blog pics as Kyoko does, these are from the past two weeks.

 Last post also had the top four Kyoko promo pics for 'Uni's on Air' which is another app game but the bottom four are new ones that have just been released.

 On August 7th Hina's first theater documentary was released and it's been a success but never saw it make the top ten at the box office but bet that's the case for most films like this. Last Friday, which was November 6th, six members were on hand for a 'Thank you fans' event that was held at the United Cinema Aquacity in Odaiba. It was also announced at the event that the documentary would be coming out on DVD January 20th.

 Kyoko has been a model with the ar magazine for some years now but never has enough pics at their site or in their mags, wish another place would scoop her up. Have three pics here from their November issue followed by four for December.

 Kyoko has twice been the cover girl for a special Platinum Flash issue, had one in her last post. No new spread for them today but did visit their site and they had many terrific pics there, some were in their mags while a few are outtake ones which I had never seen. After the pics have a video if you want to check out her singing skills which is from last year's 'Aimasho' Christmas show.
