Nogjizaka46: The beyond invigorating.... 'Hinako Kitano post' #22.....

 

 Gulp, if a normal picture is worth a thousand words then the above would need a whole dictionary worth of words, gulp again!!!! In the past have been often wrong with my predictions or assumptions but once in a blue moon do get things correct.... but when was the last time you saw a blue moon?! For years have been saying that Hinako is the most underrated/unknown hottest Idol around and would be in my top five for hottest Idols ever(!), wonder if anyone believed me? Seems she heard my words and is trying to prove I'm right on occasion, while we haven't seen a huge amount of pics from her second photobook the ones we've seen have left me speechless.....

 You will see that pic often in posts as it could be the #1 Nogi photo of all time!!!! Hinako does have some fans here as her last post done just three weeks ago as been among her most popular ones ever. That's been in the top ten for views from almost day one and I'm really hoping there can be another pair of posts next month for her, know there will be at least one. With such a great start to the year Hinako has almost assured herself of making the yearly faves list for the second year in a row and what we really need for her to do is remain in the spotlight. Such as appearing in a non-Nogi drama which she's never done or perhaps becoming a model for a site or magazine. She used to be a model for the Zipper magazine but they ceased operations about four years ago.

 Though that last post was just done three weeks ago have close to fifty new pics though it'll be impossible to top the ones above! What we don't have for today are any new mag spreads and hope there's a few on the way to promote her second photobook. But Hinako will the cover girl for the March issue of Bubka and here's some advance pics for it. She's appeared on a few covers with some other Nogi members but think this will her first time having a solo cover.

 Hope everyone enjoys Nogi cards because there's plenty for today and all are new for here. This first set are regular monthly group ones for October and September.

 The 'Nogi Fes' card series has been going on for a few years but there was never a large amount of those cards. That's changed over the last few months and I think these pics are the best of any of their collections, this batch are ones dating back to mid December.

 Seeing as how there's no new Hinako mag spreads how about an encore viewing of her last one which was from Quick Japan #157 that came out in October.

 February 8th is the date Hinako's second photobook will be released and it finally has a title plus the covers were also just revealed. "Kibo no Hogaku" is the title and those are the first four pics along with some other ones for the book which were in her last post.

 Will be ending off this post with seven more advance pics to promote the photobook. One of this set led off the post but it's too amazing not to have again, the first and last pics are quite terrific too! Instead of having a new video after the pics is an older one from March 2014 and from the BLT 'Nogi Quarterly' series, back then Hinako's cuteness was just off the charts....
