Hinatazaka46: When all else fails....

 

 .... we can always depend upon Hina for a post! They are definitely the gals I turn to when there's no one else to have a post for though of course that's not the reason they've had so many posts this year. Just did one on Friday and wanted to wait a week until their next one which of course didn't happen but odds are good there will be another post before the week is through. Kyoko above will make this year's faves list but don't know what her position will be, anywhere from sixth to tenth.

 But am also thinking of doing something else that's happened once before. Back in 2016 was when I was at the height of my 'Nogi fandom', that's really dwindled because of graduations and Hina has overtaken them as my current J-Pop group. But back in 2016 there were so many Nogi members that I liked however didn't want to see six or so make the top twenty faves list. So what I did was to put the entire group in the eleventh position and ranked my top members of the year in the post. So perhaps will do something like that for Hina, the above member will still make the list but with the others may do what I did for Nogi. Will do an intro post for the countdown around November 20th, will talk more about it then and the odds are good Hina as a group will make the fave's list.

 We could use a new Hina group photobook, that first one was such a massive seller. Right above is a poster for the group's two X-Mas concerts, tickets don't go on sale until November 1st so in the next post will have the link to the site. When I was at the site it appeared tickets began at 9,800 yen or $86, for that kind of dough hope you get invited to a group party after the concert! Pic above that is one of the covers for the group's sixth single "Tteka" which comes out on Wednesday. They've been appearing on every music show to promote the single, have a video here of them performing the tune on last night's CDTV show: Tteka on the CDTV show

 Wanted to make this a regular sized post of around fifty pics, of course that didn't happen as there will probably be twice that amount. Have a little bit of many things, how about some new group blog pics from Ayaka who we haven't seen enough of lately but have more pics of her coming up.

 One more batch of group blog pic featuring Yuuka.

 

 One thing I've never discussed is the group's web game 'HinaKoi' which is very similar to 'NogiKoi'. There's a huge amount of pics for the game and these Halloween ones just came out, will have more in the next post and this batch has four pics each of Miku, Miho and Nao.

 Have some regular 'HinaKoi' pics and they do look mighty fine, pics here are of Ayaka and Mei.

 My top pics are ones promoting the 'Uni's on Air' web game but still think Keya has had way more of those pics this year. Have a trio or member's pics who are Mirei, Nao and with eight pics is Hina who looks so grown up. Hina just celebrated it's second anniversary of the game and three days ago devoted a 'Showroom' to the occasion. Yuuka was the host and to me she has the potential to be the best Idol host ever, you can view it here: October 22nd Showroom

 Am holding back a 29 page mag spread(!) which will be in the group's next post but have a pair of them for today. First off is this set from the November 4th issue of Young Jump, the trio of members are Mei, Miku and Akari.

 Oooops, almost forgot this set. In Hina's last post had a spread from the new issue of BLT Graph, Akari was the cover girl and here's some recently released outtake pics from the photo shoot.

 Last up is this spread from the November 8th edition of Young Magazine. Once again Hina gals graced the cover and think they'll be having five more mag covers in the next two weeks. Another trio were in this spread who are Hina, Konoka and Miho. Will skip having a video as there's already two in the post but wish we saw more Hina CM's, they do so few compared to Nogi or Keya.
