Nogizaka46: The slightly belated 'Happy 25th Birthday to Hinako Kitano' post!!!!

 


 Fifteen days belated to be exact but it truly is a case of 'better late than never' as I didn't think this post would be possible. Was working on a post for the second generation members and that wasn't panning out but did notice how many new things there were for Hinako. So began working on this a few days ago and now have a whopping total of sixty new pics, throw in some oldies and the total is probably around 85 for her semi huge fan base. She does have quite a few fans here, if you didn't count photobook posts bet Hinako would be in the top five for most popular Nogi members and had she been a tad busier the past year she'd be my current and overall #1 member.



 Nogi's last single which came out in June was a bit of a bust. While it'll end up being one of the top sellers for 2021 it's also been their lowest selling single in at least five years. So the group is rushing back with their next single which will be coming out on September 22nd. Hinako wasn't a Senbatsu member for that June single which is why sales were so low! But odds are she'll return to being a Senbatsu for the next single as two first generation members will have departed. But then again it's not a bad thing being on an Undergirl song as she has centered two songs plus there's less members so they each get more screen time.



 Sigh, to me she's the most underrated 'hot gal' I post often about but then again perhaps I'm wrong as her posts are usually popular. Here's really the only older set of pics which are from the September 2016 'Tokyo Girls Collection' Autumn/Winter show. Bring that up as their next one is five weeks away and haven't seen Hinako at any the last two years but she looks so oki doki in these pics. One major reason for not being at these shows is because Hinako used to be a model for the Zipper magazine, sadly they folded and you have to be a model for a mag or site to attend these shows.












 You can see who Hinako is with in the bottom two pics, she hasn't had a post since May but with her 23rd birthday on August 10th will try to have on on that date.






 Will be working on a post too for her best Nogi mate but she's never gone long without one.... she will have one soon if I can get them to stop fighting over me and does it matter who comes out on top?






 For so many years Hinako was one of Nogi's best bloggers but really went downhill starting two years ago. But in April she opened her own Instagram page, at first there was an avalanche of pics but those have slowed down but least these since the beginning of June all rate an A+.














 More newbie pics and everyone loves Nogi cards. Have a good amount of them for today, all are new for 2021 and none have ever been in a post. Will first have a batch of birthday cards.














 Mix of cards here which are mainly for the group's 'NogiKoi' app game. Forgot to check what those top three are for, they're brand new and think Nogi may have some new campaign starting.














 With any luck will have another Hinako post by the end of the month. She'll be in the next issue of UTB and they always have some terrific outtakes pics like these from the photo shoot. Those top two are out of this world(!) and how can the upcoming spread top them?












 Will be ending off with a superb new spread from the August issue of BLT. It seems Hinako has appeared in that mag more than any other Nogi member and following the pics is a decent video though wish it was longer and perhaps Hinako swimming would have made it a must watch! EDIT: Forget that video as yet another has ben deleted from YT.
