Kyoko Saito: Her perplexing yet awe inspiring fifteenth post!!!!
Doesn't it seem the total should be higher than fifteen solo posts? It does to me but that figure is correct however twelve have come since the beginning of 2020, weren't nearly as many things to post about Hina prior to 2019. Speaking of them my original plan was to have the final two recaps for the "Koeharu!" drama today but will wait another day or two as there's been way too many drama recaps lately. That series ended up being so enjoyable and the ending wasn't quite the one you would have expected. The W-Keyaki Fes takes place this weekend which will be streamed live but a limited amount of fans can attend too. Hina will be performing their solo concert on Saturday, on the festival's last day they'll do a joint performance with Keya so may have a post next week with pics from that.
Of course so many of Kyoko's new pics from her photobook are quite steamy but I also like her older pics like the pair above immensely. Six posts now for Kyoko in 2021 so another has qualified for the yearly fave's list and I'm going to be curious who will be #1 for this year? She was my prediction in January to take this year's top spot but number one from last year won't be going down without a fight, perhaps we could schedule some sort of wrestling match? That would work out well but have a sneaky suspicion many more would prefer a marathon game of strip poker(!), will ask them which they'd rather do....
Have a little over fifty new pics for today which is a decent total as her last post was just three weeks ago. Was going to have include screenshots from her 'Ramen Daisuki!' hour long special show, had over thirty in that last post but at 50+ pics for today will wait a bit with part two. Have a feeling the second half of July will be a bit slower with the Olympics going on so should keep a few things in reserve. The next 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show will be held on September 4th, the following day Kyoko will be celebrating her 24th birthday. So I fully expect her to be at that show and wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of mini party which I hope to be invited to! Small batch of pics here from the October 15, 2019 TGC show held in Kitakyushu.
Of course a few Nogi gals will be there and have noticed Kyoko has more pics with them than anyone else from Hina or Keya. The three groups performed together on the special 'Music Day' show a few days ago but won't have a video as they usually get deleted.
One reason for Hina becoming my current fave J-Pop group is that they're so likable and also non stop busy. Another reason would be is that they're so stabile and there's only been two graduations in five years, these days Nogi seems to have one a month! But that could be changing soon for as mentioned Kyoko is about to turn 24 and many members will soon be turning that age, the oldest member will be 26 in January. But I can't see too many leaving in the next few years, their popularity seems to be one more of the Group versus individual members plus they did get a late start after being buried behind Keya for three years. Let's get on with more new pics and have many recent ones from her Hina blog.
Hina doesn't have nearly as many kinds of group cards as Nogi does but have the first batch of pics from a set that have never been posted before and there will be more in future posts. These are special 'Roulette' cards for Hina's fifth single and they look mighty fine to me, if you don't want to look at all of the cards you could just view the top one.... 😈
Also have many superb new Kyoko pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game.
Next post should have Kyoko's new spread for the July/August issue of CM Now, she's the cover girl This small batch are outtake ones from the....
.... July 1st issue of Weekly Shonen Champion and she's been their cover girl quite a few times. Shame there's never any videos from the photo shoots but have an interesting one after the pics. It's a real oldie from 2017 that I had never viewed which features her in the kitchen with a departed Hina/Keya fave, Kyoko is one gal who should be barred from cooking!!!!
