Hinako Sano: A little bit of this and that....

 

 Here's something you don't see often and perhaps it's never happened. That's of Hinako having four posts in a four month stretch and think that could be the first time ever. She's had 32 posts to date which is an okay amount but her first was done 6 1/2 years ago so you can see that's only been about five posts a year. Hinako will be turning 28 in October and I really thought she was coming close to 'retiring' from doing gravure spreads and books. That hasn't been the case as she had a photobook come out in February plus has had seven spreads since then which definitely pleases her large fan base and it is quite huge here.

 "Be With Me" was the title of Hinako's fifth book which came out two months ago and most of this post will be for the book. That's because an expanded web version has been released and here's some promo pics for the book and hope it's not her final one.

 Nit a large post but as mentioned it's been so hard to have many posts for Hinako over the years. There's a trio of new spreads to help promote the new version of the photobook, first off is this set from the May 3rd issue of Flash and at two pics why did they bother? But after that is a slightly bigger Flash spread that's from their May 10th edition.

 On April 23rd Hinako was at an event for the book and there was also one when it originally came out. The photobook was also to celebrate her tenth anniversary in the entertainment field, like most books these days the photo shoot took place in Okinawa and rarely are books shot outside of Japan. Here's a short video of it: Photobook event video

 Will end off with the best pics of the day and this spread doesn't feature outtake pics from the book. So it's nice to see Hinako back to doing regular spreads and hope they continue, this superb set is from the May issue of Young Champion Best. Bottom two pics are from the photo shoot and it's a shame there's no video for this spread so after the pics have an oldie yet goldie Hinako video from 2018 which most should enjoy.
