Hinako Sano: Another trio of tantalizing magazine spreads....

 


 Two posts in five weeks for new magazine spreads and it's been a long time since that's happened for Hinako, perhaps the first time ever. She has such a large fan base here and think all need to savor these recent posts as I wonder how many more of these spreads and photobooks we'll be seeing in the future. Hinako will be turning 28 later on this year and have mentioned often it's rare for a gravure model to stay in that line of work when they're approaching thirty in age. Hinako has 'retired' twice from gravure modeling but has returned both times as she realized what's made her popular, she does have her own radio show but her acting work has really slowed down this past year.



 Not a huge post as there's only about 35 new pics but it's rare to have a pair of posts for her so close together. Everything today will be for Hinako's sixth photobook "Be With Me" that was released on February 22nd, it's celebrating her tenth anniversary of being in the entertainment field and hope it's not true but will it be her final book? Here's some pics from an interview for the book with the Dwango site and also here's the link to it: Interview








 In it's first week out "Be With Me" sold 4,070 copies which is an okay total but dropped out of the top ten the following week. Here's five pics from the book which hadn't been posted yet.






 Now on to the trio of mag spreads, of course Hinako looks dazzling but not too much variety as they're mainly outtake pics from the book. First off is this set from the March 14th issue of WPB







 Hinako is the cover girl for the other two spreads as she still must be popular in Japan, this batch is from the March 8th edition of Flash.










 Last up today is this spread from the April 1st issue of Friday. Shame there's no videos for any of the spreads and there hasn't been a decent one for many months. So will go back in time for a sweltering Hinako video for Young Magazine that's from 2019 and is after the pics.
