Hinatazaka46: A little(huge) bit of this and that for 2022 #8....

 

 First group post since March 25th and was going to wait until this weekend for this post. But have so many semi-older things from March and April that I wanted to 'clean up' so decided why not have this one and if you're a Hina fan there should still be plenty of them in the next week. Not sure if Hina here at the top will have a solo post and have been wanting to do one for her but that hasn't worked out. It's so common when someone slightly disappears after she releases a photobook which has happened with her to an extent but do promise that she'll have a post within the month. But the Hina post all should look out for is the one for her first photobook and think that'll be done on July 1st. It'll have been four months by that point since the book came out and always wait at least three before posting a '46' book. Do have to say this is one super duper book, perhaps a bit too large but it has a chance of being my #1 book for this year.

 This Saturday which is May 14th the Spring/Summer 'Girls Award' show will be held. It's their first regular show since September 2019 and I'm really hoping they'll be some terrific pics from it plus many of them. There's always been more 'Tokyo Girls Collection' shows over the years but think the women look so much better at these GA shows. So there should be plenty of group and solo posts coming up for Hina and Keya beginning on Saturday and will stretch those pics from the show out for a week, here's the thirteen members who will be there.

 So as mentioned in the beginning this is kind of a 'clean up post', there's plenty of new things from the past few weeks but want to get to the older things from March and early April first. But also want to post the video for the new PV "Koishita Sakana wa Sora wo Tobu" again, it's one of the coupling tracks to the new single coming out on June 1st. I think it's one of Hina's best tunes to date, here's some screenshots of Suzuka from it and the link to the song: "Koishita Sakana wa Sora wo Tobu" PV

 How about some pics from the group blog featuring Manamo? Seems like a good idea to be and she's been so much busier lately appearing on variety shows, those bottom pics are from her birthday and on April 28th she hit the age of 24.

 Group captain Kumi has been a long time model for the Ray magazine and have plenty of new modeling pics from their site. So they should be in one of the upcoming group posts or a better idea may be to have them in her second solo post as she will be at this Saturday's show. Four pics each from the March and April issues of Ray.

 Of course those bottom two pics are from neither spread. But Kumi seems to be good friends with Risa and will have some pics in her 'Memorial' photobook that will be coming out next Tuesday. Hina had three photobooks from January 2021 to March 2022, wish they had a few more and all have sold over 110,000 copies. So wonder who will be up next for a book and if I had a vote it'd be for Shiho. Don't think it'll happen but wouldn't mind seeing a book for Hiyori and just have this feeling she has such a super figure, really wouldn't mind seeing a book from at least five other members. Hiyori is a model for the With magazine and these pics from their site are all from March, plenty more have come out since then.

 There's quite a few new promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game for April and May. Will get to them soon but first needed to finish off the ones for February and March which were Easter pics. Have a pair of members here who are Mana and Ayaka who I really like, she'll be at this weekend's 'Girls Award' show so you'll be seeing her again in the next group post.

 This set here should wrap up those two months and first off is Mikuni. Following her is Konoka and she's another member who I like so much, she had three solo posts towards the end of last year but none since then but will still keep trying to have a few more for her.

 Whew, there's no such thing as a small Hina post!!!! In most group ones end off with a mini recap for their 'Aimashou' variety show that airs on Sunday nights. The last post was for episode #150 and while I did view all of them since then will skip shows #151-155 so these recaps can be for more current shows. Today's aired on April 24th and was show #156, like so many this year it's a two-parter and will have the second in the next group post. The theme to this was 'The Second Cut Queen Championship', the first aired a little over two years ago. What the title means is clips were shown from episodes that have aired over the last two years. However these segments weren't aired because they were too long, not enough time on the show or on some occasions because the segments weren't good enough!

 In the first 'Cut Queen Championship' Shiho won the honor or should I call it a dishonor as the segment wasn't aired. She could retain her title for as you can see in the screenshots she showed she could draw a portrait in ten seconds which was fairly good and wonder why it didn't air? First off was Yuka talking about the skills she has at making Monja and we need to see more of her as she could be Hina's wittiest member. Keep these recaps to a minimum as they're not ones for dramas and you can follow the action as it took place in these screenshots, like all shows it was quite enjoyable and will have part two coming up that will crown the Queen.
