Hinatazaka46: Yes, that run of many massive posts is in full swing....

 

 One of the biggest positives to me about a J-Pop group is stability, better knock on wood now! Yesterday two more first generation Keya members announced their graduations, it was right after I finished a post for my top member. That will make it THIRTEEN graduations in a three year stretch, just nine IG members will be left. Meanwhile only two Hina members have left since they were formed in November 2015 but could that mean 2022 will be the start of many departures? Sure some will be leaving but Hina really seems to be such a close knit group and the members are good friends. One reason is that there's no massive superstar in the group, some members are more popular than others but seems most do get a turn in the spotlight and the gals are so likable.

 Above are two of the covers for Hina's next single 'Tteka" which comes out in five days. While the sales for most J-Pop groups have dwindled Hina's have remained fairly steady, would like to see another album from them. What's really needed is a concert DVD and it's surprising they've never had one but have watched about four concerts that were streamed. The group just finished their Autumn mini tour two days ago in Aichi, they performed a dozen concerts in six cities and these pics are from the final show. At the show they also announced they would be doing a pair of X-Mas concerts.

 Will wait until the new single is released before doing their next post, then the avalanche will begin! That's because by my count the group will be on seven upcoming mag covers(!) plus I'm sure there will be a few others so there could be at least one post a week for the rest of the year. These are outtake pics from one of those upcoming spreads which are from Young Jump.

 Think I finally may be able to do Shiho's third solo post and do I really like her. She always has many pics in these group posts but never enough for a solo one. But do have a new mag spread which I'll hold on to plus she'll be the cover girl for the December issue of Entame. Have some new pics here from the CanCam site plus some recent blog pics.

 Hopefully there will be some new Halloween pics for one of their next posts. Have some older ones here save for the bottom pic which is promoting their 'Mysterious Library' web game.

 Try to include as many members as possible in these group posts but usually won't have any pics for the youngest members but least these days almost everyone is 20+ in age. Here's a pair we haven't seen much of recently in these posts and have eight group cards for each of them. First off is Yuuka who just may be the smartest Hina gal, following her is Suzuka who will be turning 21 in January.

 Every member posts many blog pics but the top gal for them is Konoka and has she had a solo post yet? Forget if that's happened and she's one of my top members, in September she was a co-host for the 'Love It' variety show and now she has a full time gig on the 'X-Moment' show.

 Few new modeling pics from the Ray magazine site for group captain Kumi and these pics have gotten so fabulous over the last two years, in January she'll be hitting the age of 26.

 At the end of the year will have a few posts for all of their 'Uni's on Air' 2021 promo game pics, it's kind of surprising that Keya has many more of those promo pics and they'll have some posts too.

 In Hina's last post had a terrific spread from the November issue of EX-Taishu, a pair of members were the cover girls. But there was one more set from that magazine which featured Sarina and the day after Christmas she'll be turning 24.

 Final set of the day features Akari, for the second time she's a cover girl and this spread is from the October issue of BLT Graph. After the pics have kind of an entertaining new video that was shot in the Summer and it's promoting the new single.
