Hinatazaka46: Their fifth bedazzling post for 2021....

 


 That top pic may end up being my #1 of the year, no adjectives left to describe it! Perhaps just the fifth group post but three have been in the last twenty days and will try to have another pair before the month ends. At one time these group posts weren't popular or at least compared to Nogi ones but that's all changed this year and Hina has become a fave of many of you viewers. Besides two regular posts will have a trio of recaps soon for episodes 4-6 for the group drama "Koeharu". The fifth show was just subbed, once the sixth is done will be writing them up.



 Thought there would have been at least four Kyoko solo posts by this time but there's only been two for the year but hopefully her next will be this month. Hina's fifth single "Kimi Shika Katan" was released on May 26th, of course it was #1 on the weekly charts. In seven days it's sold 493,000+ copies which is a drop from their fourth single but all sales for J-Pop groups have been lower this past year. But it wasn't as big of a drop as Nogi or Keya's last single as those two saw a huge decrease in sales, as far as Nogi goes after a while those key graduations have to have an impact.








 Have a good variety of things for today, some mag spreads, event pics and some other promo ones. Always try to have a fave from the group who doesn't get mentioned enough and the main reason for that is all Hina members share the spotlight so very few have many more pics than others. Let's start off with some terrific Ayaka blog pics and don't think she's a model for the JJ magazine any more.















 Kumi is another Hina fave of mine and usually include her in these posts. She's the group's captain and have some new pics from the Ray magazine site. There were also plenty in the last group post and that was done just five days ago.








 'Uni's on Air' is a Smartphone game featuring members of Hina and Keya, not having one means I've never played it. But they do have some superb promo pics for it and will be having some new ones in these upcoming posts. Have a pair for today featuring Mei whose unique looks are so hard to top. Also have four pics for Nao and to many fan's surprise has the next solo photobook. 









 Have three mag spreads but will hold on back, finding it wiser to make these huge posts just a tad smaller so there can be more. First set is from the May 25th issue of SPA!, the cover girls were Ayaka, Kumi and Mirei.






 Slightly bigger spread from the June 8th edition of Flash that features Mana who we seldom see, once again we have some terrific pics of Mei and the third gal is Yuka.








 How about some more Yuka and these are new pics from an interview with the Pia site. Three years ago she took a leave of absence but for a good reason as she wanted to concentrate on her studies. Not sure if she's attending college but seems like she may as she's one intelligent and quick witted woman.







 More interview pics which are from 'TheTV.jp' site. They're for an anime film coming out on June 11th titled 'Goodbye my Kramer"(?) and Yuka will be voicing the character of Ayame in it. On August she'll be appearing in her first regular film so you may be seeing a lot of her.







 
 Will end off with another batch of Yuka pics which are from an event held on June 2nd for the anime movie at the Marunouchi TOEI Cinemas. She's looking pretty darn fine these days too and the next Hina post will be after the premiere so pics from it can be included. After this batch is a video of the event and it's so rare when we see one for any '46' group members at an event.
