Hinatazaka46: A little(lot) of this and that for 2022 #2....

 

 Why not begin off with Shiho who I like immensely but is such a hard Idol to post about. Did have two solo posts for her in November but one was for the 'Uni's on Air' game pics and these days hold on to most of her pics for solo posts. To the surprise of many, including me, the next Hina photobook will be coming out in March and it won't feature her. Kind of disappointing but she'll eventually have a book and it's just a matter of when and not if. Hina Kawata is the member who will have the book, not a bad selection as she does look really good lately and just had her first solo post last week.

 That's Hina above and there may be two more posts for her by the time the photobook comes out. Hope it doesn't sound confusing but always use Hina instead of Hinatazaka in posts so don't get confused with the group and member. Really any older member would have been a good choice for a book, Hina doesn't appear to have as many bodacious members compated to other groups but that's actually a positive and to me most look so oki doki! This is a slight continuation from yesterday's post as it will end off with part two of the 'Aimashou' show challenge. As mentioned in that last post what a lull there's been in mag spreads but then again so many magazines double up on their issues at this time of year so bet there's a third less than any other months but still have about 155 new pics(!), it's early but this may end up being the largest post of the year!

 No Konoka for today but deep down she's the member I'd love to see have a photobook more than anyone else! Save her pics for solo posts and she had three in December, in two weeks you'll see her again in the second ever Hina 'Pairs Post'. Her mate will be Suzuka and she's really becoming such an attractive gal, some recent pics from the Hina group blog.

 More from the Hina blog and these are some new ones for Yuuka. She is such an intelligent woman plus is quite funny and satirical, she'd make for such an excellent host for any show.

 Miku is a model for the Bis magazine and some recent pics from their site but have noticed none of their models have had many pics the last two months. After them are even more pics from the Hina blog and don't they look so much better than regular ones? There's a reason for that and in the post Miku said her non-Hina friend got a very high tech camera for Christmas and she was the first person to be photographed, they're good enough to be a magazine spread.

 No regular mag spreads for today but they should be picking back up very soon. In each issue of Friday Hina has a two page spread called 'Hina Satsu' and these are from the last seven issues. They go backwards from the new edition which is for January 14th back to November 26th.

 Often talk about their two web games but not their third which is 'Hina and the Mysterious Library'. Won't be discussing the game today either but will in future posts but there's new promo New Year pics for the game.

 Whew, 65 pics already and we still have another ninety to go! Will probably have only two more solo posts for the 'Uni's on Air' web game series but will feature some members in each of these group posts. Yesterday had a pair of members with twenty pics each and have the same for today. First off is Akari who has a birthday coming up next month, her popularity really soared in 2021.

 These pics once again go backwards from November to July. Second batch features Yuuka who is so busy these days with hosting shows and even doing some voice acting. As mentioned before to me she's one smart woman and surprised she isn't attending college, then again being an Idol isn't a lifetime job so perhaps she's put that on hold for now.

 Finally hit the end and though it's early in the year this could be the largest post for 2022 with 155 or so pics. In the last group post which was just done yesterday had episode #125 of their 'Aimashou' variety show and it ended up being a two episode challenge, these screenshots are obviously from show #126. Mentioned how I threw my notes away but that doesn't matter too much as I wasn't going to give any long recap. This challenge was called 'Fall of Art Gallery' where the members tried their hands at drawing and also creating unique poems/sayings.

 What would be a good idea is to go back and look at the previous post. Start on the first screenshot and view all fifty in that post, then view these and you'll get the entire challenge/game in chronological order. It may be better than watching the show and also will make it easier to follow the action as when I do recaps of dramas or variety shows the screenshots often aren't in order except for the ones at the bottom of the post. This was a pair of fun shows and been trying to watch more of these, this is now so much better than Nogi's 'Construction' show. Every member has a turn in the spotlight which I really like and to me it's hard to top Shiho who deserves her own sort of comedy show. My only minor beef is that no official champion was crowned.
