Hinatazaka46: Their never ending run of massive posts continues....

 

 Know I'm a bit overdue with posts for the above duo, hopefully soon there will be one for Kyoko. She just celebrated her 24th birthday less than a week ago and while there are a few newish things to post about not as much as usual. That should be changing soon though as Hina's next single, their sixth, will be coming out on October 27th. Very little info on it so far as just the date and lineup were announced, more details in future posts. Few days back did a post for a Keya member where I mused about how it's been a while since someone graduated. That hasn't happened yet but two days after the post a hiatus was announced so better keep my mouth shut with opinions.... as if that's possible!

 So kind of wonder when the graduations for Hina may begin, there's really been zero in the three years since they broke away from Keya. But seeing as how they got a late start maybe that'll mean many members will be staying until they're well over 25 in age, the vast majority of first generation gals are 23+ in age or about to hit that figure. I really hope those graduations don't take place for a while as Hina has become my top current J-Pop group and they may be the last group to hold that honor. 

 These Hina group posts remind me of the ones I did for Nogi from 2014-18 as there's so many different things to post about and rarely can fit everything into just one post. So of course that means a lot of many activities today and that bottom pic above is the lineup for the next single. Miku will be the center for the song and have some newish group cards which you don't see often enough in these posts. They follow four Miho cards from for the group's 'W-Keyaki Fes', will have more cards in the future but haven't needed them that often in the past as these posts have been large enough.

 Not quite cards but close enough and these are new pics from the Lawson site. They're a convenience store chain and have said often that'd make for an entertaining Idol drama, one where a group such as Hina runs their own wacky store. They and Keya have done so many CM's for the company and have the link to their site if you want to check out many videos and such. They do have a card collection for each member though it does cost $$ to get the pics: Lawson site

 Hina has two web games but recently discovered another one that began in March, if you have more info on it or how do get it free make a comment. The game is called 'Hinatazaka46 and the Mysterious Library' aka Hinatazaka46 to Fushigina Toshoshitsu. This looks like an interesting game and have been visiting it's site and viewing a few YT videos. It appears you can download a Google app and play it for free, is that the case? Did hear about the game many months ago but then forgot all about it, will do more investigating about it and here's the game's site: Hinatosho game site

 Last Saturday the Autumn 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show was held at the Saitama Super Arena. There were so many who took a stroll on the catwalk most of them only lasted for thirty seconds or less. In the last group post had pics from a trio for their stroll, have two more for today who are Mirei and Kumi but not enough pics for as mentioned they weren't on the stage that long.

 Konoka is a member who really makes my blood boil but have had so few pics of her in recent posts. Have many new group blog pics and it seems that smile is etched forever on her face, bottom ones are from the 'Love It' variety show as she's the co-host of it for August and September.

 The members post so many pics at the Hina blog but that will be the only batch for today. Will be ending off with a pair of new mag spreads, there hasn't been that many as of late but with the new single coming out soon that should be changing. First off is this set from the August 31st issue of SPA! that features Kyoko, Mana who will be turning 23 in ten days and Yuuka.

 Speaking of birthdays today is Miku's, she turned nineteen and how I wish she was older as she is one attractive young woman. She'll be the center for the upcoming single and to end off have this huge set from the September 22nd issue of Weekly Shonen, bottom seven are from the photo shoot. The first song from the sixth single was just released yesterday and it's title is "Anytime, any number of times", following the pics is the video for it.
