Hinatazaka46: Their second 'pairs post' featuring.... Konoka and Suzuka!!!!
These 'Pairs Posts' are kind of low key ones but they do make for a nice change of pace, above is the link to the first ever Hina pair's post done last November. But after this one don't know if another pair's post can ever be done. Hina does so many activities as a group, probably many more than the other two '46' groups combined. But compared to Nogi and Keya they seldom have a 'continuing pair' who appear often in magazines, at events and doing other things, don't know if that's good or not. So have 82 pics for this post which could have been larger but why not hold back a few things for another of these.
Been starting to do more solo posts for the Hina members and leading the pack has been Konoka. She's someone I like so much and between mid November to the end of December she had four solo posts which was more than anyone else. But since then zero and noticed as a whole the '46' groups save for a few members were very quiet in January. Konoka's height is 157 cm but looking at her pics always thought she was much shorter than that, perhaps it's because of standing next to her mate.
Did notice in many of these pics how Suzuka tends to tower over her as her height is 164 cm which is about 2 1/2 inches taller. Suzuka is one who definitely needs more solo posts and will make sure that happens this year, she looks so mighty fine these days. In the last Hina group post made a prediction that she'll be the center for their next single and wonder if she has any chance at that?
As mentioned have a total of 82 pics for this post which are a mix of blog pics, magazine spreads, interview ones and whatever. The main reason it's easy to have a pairs post for them is because they have a duo called 'Hana-chans' who had a song on Hina's third single but oddly none since. In April Konoka will be celebrating her 23rd birthday while Suzuka turned 21 about two weeks ago. Some pics from the last two months from Hina's group blog.
And just a few other assorted pics....
Small spread from the January 12, 2020 issue of Young Magazine and will be ending the post off with a pair of much larger mag spreads. If you baffled on who is who in that top pic Suzuka is on the left, naturally it means Konoka is on the right.
Here's a fine set of interview pics with the Real Sound site where they were talking about their 'Hana-chan' duo and playing at the MTV Acoustic Flowers concert that took place in June but was aired twice more. Here's the link to that interview: Real Sound site
Here's a behind the scene video for that Acoustic Flowers performance, noticed the actual song(s) are not on YT and the videos are probably not allowed: Acoustic Flowers video
These posts seem to fly right by as we're almost at the end and have two superb mag spreads to wrap up this post. First off is from a special Flash edition called 'Best of Summer 2019' and think it was their first spread together, hopefully there will be many more in the future.
Final set of pics for the 'Hana-chans' is a fabulous new spread that's from the January issue of Big One Girls. First ten pics are the actual spread and they're followed by many outtake pics from the photo shoot. After the pics is an entertaining video of the duo singing a tune from the group's "Koeharu" drama and it's actually better than most Hina songs.
