Hinatazaka46: Their first 'pairs post' featuring.... Kyoko and Shiho!!!!

 

 Thought there had been a 'pairs post' for this dynamic duo but was mistaken, wonder if I can do any others for Hina members? To date there's been eleven of these Idol pair's posts, one each for AKB, 

C-Ute and Keya but eight for Nogi though unsure if any more can ever be done for them. These are kind of simple posts but with many pics, 86 for this one. Picked a good time for this as these two close mates have a brand new magazine spread. Oooops, once again forgot to close the shower curtain....

 Gulp, don't wake me from that dream!!!! Been working on this year's faves list and will have an intro post for it this weekend. Kyoko will make the list for the second year in a row, think she'll finish way up there in the sixth position. Not so for Shiho but that's only because she didn't have six solo posts and she is one of my top current J-Pop Idols. Kyoko's first photobook came out in January, really thought Shiho would have the next book but it didn't pan out. But do expect her to have that PB next year, perhaps for her 24th birthday on February 2nd?

 Let's get on with things, there's many pics of them together but not as many as you would think with just the two of them and no other members. Wish there were more pics like these which are from the January 12, 2020 'Tokyo Girls Collection show promoting the group's DASADA clothing line.

 Speaking of photobooks this set is from an August 2019 interview for the Modelpress site to promote Hina's first group book. Did a post back in February 2020 for book and that's been such a popular post, here's the link to the interview: Modelpress interview

 The duo has had four mag spreads together that just featured the pair. The first one is a real oldie and may have been one of Hina's first ever spreads, back then the group name was Hiragana46. This set is from a special Flash issue called 'Best of Spring 2017'.

 This next set is from the July 13, 2018 issue of Young Animal, may be the first time either appeared on a cover.

 Before the other two spreads have some pics from Hina's blog and there's so many more. The first pic is from the set of the 'HinaBINGO!' show, all three '46' groups have had multiple seasons of 'BINGO! but not for the past two years. That's a shame as it was my top '46' variety show.

 Would like to have a few more of these 'pairs posts' but don't know who else would be good, will work on it. Third spread with these close mates is from the March 2020 issue of EX-Taishu.

 Last up for this post is a terrific new spread from the November 10th issue of Weekly Shonen. After the pics is a fun video from last December 30th from the 62nd 'Japan Record Awards' show. They perform an old Peanuts song titled "Koi no Vacance" and they come on at the one minute mark.
