Hinatazaka46: A little(huge) bit of this and that for 2022 #6....

 

 Of course this is Hina at the top and she'll have another solo post coming up by the end of the month. Her last post has been so popular as it's been the third most viewed post of the past month and wanted to wait until it fell out of the top ten. Her first photobook naturally topped the charts it's first week out selling close to 76,000 copies and as far as sales go the last few books from Hina members have left Nogi in the dust! I do have this book which is so massive but won't be posting it for a while as not to affect sales but here's two sweltering pics that hadn't been seen before....

 Whew, perhaps sweltering is an understatement! So speaking of Hina the group it's been a while since there's been one of these group posts but there should be a pair next week. On March 21st the Spring 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show will be taking place and these seven members will be there. Usually ten used to make an appearance but with such a cutback on shows so many more models and others are there so fewer members and also shorter strolls on the catwalk. So these first two members will have a solo post next week, hopefully the third too and the other four will have pics in those group posts.

 What we need is some new music from Hina, they've just had two singles since October 2020 and no albums since September of that year. It's impossible to have pics for every member in these posts but hopefully between this one and the pair next week can have some for all 21 members. Will start off with some recent pics from the Hina blog that feature Konoka, she's been so quiet as of late as she had three solo posts in December and none since.

 More new group blog pics with Mei and if there was going to be another 'pairs post' I'd try to have it for her and the above gal for often when I think of one I think of the other.

 Completed that 'Uni's on Air' series a while ago and to me these promo pics for the web game are tough to top. That series was for 2020/21 and have a few brand new sets for today from February and Easter as you can see, first up are Manamo and Miho who turned 22 on February 24th.

 Another pair of new set for the 'Uni's' game with Hiyori and Akari, eight pics each.

 More Akari who turned 21 on February 15th and to me her popularity has risen more in the last year than any other member. On February 25th she was at the premiere of the anime movie "Deemo" where she voiced the very mysterious masked and unnamed character, as you can see there was also a mini birthday celebration at the event.

 Have four new mag spreads which you'll be seeing in those upcoming solo posts but there's been very few this year that have featured the group. But there is a brand new one from the March 31st issue of Young Jump as the trio of Hina, Mirei and Hinano graced the cover.

 Final part and tend not to have posts for the group's 'Aimashou' variety show and instead tack them on at the end of a post. At one time was so far behind, many months, but now am only three episodes behind but don't post screenshots from the show too often. This batch is from the February 20th show and it was part one of a battle called 'Get Your Famous Scene on Air' and will have part two next week though don't think either has anything to do with each other. The show's regular hosts are the comedy duo Audrey but they weren't there for this show. The pair had caught the virus which wasn't announced on air, these are taped 2-3 weeks in advance. The sub host was a man named Hamatani who is also a comedian, he was decent enough but thought he stole too much attention away from the members.

 There was one other guest who you'll see in many screenshots, his name is Kishi who like all guests is a comedian too but hadn't made an appearance on the show in 2 1/2 years. So the theme to this was of segments that had aired in the last year but had been forgotten about and did any of the members want their famous scenes shown again? Ten members were in the studio for this show and of course they all wanted their biggest scene from the past year to be shown again. For that to happen you had to guess the answer Kishi would come up with and he was locked away in a waiting room. Only one member was able to guess an answer correctly and that was Mikuni who I have to say is one of the most entertaining members on this show. In an episode that aired May 2nd of last year there was a Dodgeball contest and she won four matches in a row before losing in the championship round to Miho so Mikuni did have a lot of air time on that episode. So the screenshots follow the action as it happened and perhaps now you won't even need to view it....
