Hinako Sakurai: Happy.... 25th Birthday!!!!

 


 Here's such a fave of mine and why not have the first post of April for her! That's not the only thing Hinako is number one for but the other is something she may not boast about often. Which is that she's the most unpopular woman I post about and it's been the case for years. In 2019 and 2020 Hinako's posts had the lowest average of views for anyone who had six or more posts. The only reason she didn't defend her title last year is that she had only four regular posts. But on the bright side her posts in 2019 averaged 235 views and in 2020 that average did rise to 310. Do the averages in December so bet both may be a hundred or so views higher by now.



 Back in 2019 Hinako finished fifth on the yearly fave's list and that was quite an achievement. In 2020 she tumbled to fourteenth but that was mainly because of her being so quiet that year, this is her second post for 2022 so let's hope she hits the magic number of six and can qualify for the fave's list. She wasn't in the first two seasons of 'Kimi to Sekai' but Hinako is in the third season, the sixth and final episode airs this weekend. The drama is supposed to be subbed but so far zero episodes have been and not too worried yet about it, will discuss it more in the above post which will be done very soon.



 Those two above pics are from Hinako's 2022 calendar, so wasn't the first pic of the post. So mentioned that she's in the third season of 'Kimi to Sekai', first two seasons were good though not a must watch but still really want to see how things turn out. For the show she did an interview with the Yahoo Japan site, pics are from that and here's the link to it: Yahoo Japan interview








 Hinako has a Line blog and she does a solid job at letting us know about her activities, these pics are from the past five weeks.












 Almost forgot to mention that birthday #25 doesn't take place until tomorrow. So while Hinako posts a lot of pics on her blog she rarely does for that day which only happens once a year....



 But there was a mini birthday celebration on March 30th for Hinako. Back in January she was appointed as an ambassador for Sabon which is a brand of cosmetics. At this event she acted out being the store manager for a day along with that mini birthday celebration. Shame there's no new CM for the product but here's a short video from the event: Sabon event


















 Tabiiro is a web travel magazine which has an actress as their 'Woman of the Month' and they usually travel to a resort, Hinako had that honor back in May 2020. For March she wasn't their official 'Woman of the Month' but did have a special feature for their FO-CAL on line magazine. There were also many short videos for this special feature, one is after the pics but once on YT you can view all of them. Hinako made her journey to the city of Nanao which is in the prefecture of Ishikawa.
