Hinako Kitano: Perhaps her most sweltering post to date?!!!!

 

 First time there wasn't Nogizaka46 in the title and let's see if that makes any difference on how many views this post gets. This has to be the busiest streak I've ever seen in ten years of posting, this is Hinako's fifth post in 28 days but more impressive than that it's four posts in twelve days! That last post was done just twenty hours ago but it's already received well over 200 views and the other three posts have all been extremely popular too. However this streak should be ending soon but hope to have another post in ten days, wasn't going to have her next post until then but somehow have fifty pics for all to savor with many from the second photobook. That top pic is a new promo one for the book along with these next two but still have fourteen more new ones to end the post off with!

 Even if you don't see another pic from this photobook it's easily the best one from a Nogi member, perhaps close to being #1 of all time. Hinako does have a huge fan base so hope this book sells well, her first one sold a little over 60,000 copies which wasn't bad considering it wasn't promoted all that heavily. So I'll be disappointed if this book doesn't sell over 100,000 copies, know sales are way down for photobooks but this is such an impressive collection of pics. Mentioned yesterday how Hinako hasn't revealed what her future plans will be and hope retiring isn't something she's thinking about after her April graduation. In that post yesterday did bring up the subject of Hinako being a gravure and why not?! Quite a few Idols have had successful careers doing gravure modeling so with her popularity and hotter than hot looks wonder if she's ever thought of it?

 Those top two pics from the book you've seen before and they may be Nogi's best pics of all time which is really saying something. It's amazing but Hinako only needs one more post to qualify for the yearly fave's list. Even though the posts will be slowing down drastically, especially after April, would think she'd have done enough to have a position in this year's top five! Hinako has been doing many interviews to promote the photobook but has been dressed the same for most of them, this small batch is from the QJ Web site.

 Will still try my hardest to have another post for Hinako in about ten days which will have some new Nogi cards for Valentine's Day. Still am working on having all of her group monthly cards for 2021, have another set here for June and May.

 Hinako's second photobook came out today but no event with the public could be held. Instead there was a live interview session with four sites but if there is a video for it it's not on YT but do have some pics from it. For the second day in a row she hosted 'Showroom' to promote the book but will wait until her next post to have the video.

 

 Have posted some outtake pics from the March issue of Bubka and here's the entire spread. Could be wrong but think this is Hinako's first time having a solo cover, few of the pics are from the PB.

 We've hit the end and writing up Hinako posts go too quickly!!!! But what an ending as there's fourteen more pics for the photobook and some of these have truly left me speechless, there is a reason why Hinako has been in my top three for fave Nogi members the past five years. The second and bottom pics are my two faves though all are tremendous, after this set is a short promo video for the book.
