Hinatazaka46: A little(huge) bit of this and that for 2022 #9....

 

 Just wrote up a photobook post but won't be publishing it until tomorrow. Bring that up because in it mentioned how I was doing that post to break up the huge amount of them lately for Hina and Keya. Tomorrow there will be two Keya posts and could easily do about five for Hina. But don't want to go overboard with them so the next Hina post will be on Tuesday, after that could have one a day for the rest of the week but many will also be solo posts. Today the Spring/Summer 'Girls Award' show was held so there's a decent amount of pics from it which is one reason there will be many upcoming posts. But another is that at the show outside of '46' members none of my other fave actress and models were there, had a feeling that would happen but was hoping I was mistaken. 

 Will start off with pics from that 'Girls Award' show, while some members had about twenty pics some others had only about ten and will have that pair in this post. Shame there weren't more for Ayaka who may have looked better than any other '46' member but a few others looked mighty fine too. She took her stroll on the JJ magazine stage but thought that mag was no longer around.

 The show took place at the Makuhari Messe Hall in the city of Chiba. There were 130+ models who took a stroll on the catwalk so obviously that meant too many weren't able to be on stage for a long time. Up next for members is Hiyori and she took her walk on the 'Top of the Hill' stage.

 Went six weeks without a Hina group post, the pics kept piling up and now not sure where to start with them?! But we'll have plenty of time to get to them over the next month or so as their seventh single will be coming out on June 1st but have heard no word about their second album. Hina has four web games but usually only have pics for two of them. One game which always has some excellent pics are their 'Mystery in the Library' game and promise to have more info about it in future posts. However there's never been that many pics for the game in the past but that's changed as these have all come out since the beginning of April as perhaps they're trying to promote the game more? Too many members to list who all have two pics and aren't these some super duper pics....

 But my fave game pics have been for 'Uni's on Air' and also have many new ones for today. Each member will have eight pics, the first four came out at the beginning of April. What makes them a bit odd is that they're promoting Hina's Summer 2021 tour and why'd they release them now, they did the same thing for Keya. If you can stand more Ayaka she's up first and why not as she has really become one attractive woman, kind of surprising as I don't think she's a model for any magazine or site. Following her is Mei who is Hina's shortest member, she had a couple of solo posts last year but there hasn't been much to post about her lately.

 Two more first generation members for today, leading off is Yuka who a week ago turned 21 in age and she's the youngest 1G member. After her is Sarina who is another member whose name isn't mentioned enough but she's going to have the lead role in a stage play that began today, she'll turn 25 in age the day after Christmas.

 Do have three magazine spreads but this is turning out to be a large post so will just have one of them but you'll be seeing the others sometime next week. This is a huge spread from the June issue of BLT and Akari is the cover girl, her popularity has risen more this year than any other member.

 Whew, have finally reached the end and lately the final item in a group post has been a mini recap for the group's 'Aimashou' variety show. I'm now caught up with the team subbing this show so there may not be any of these recaps until June, this show here was episode #157 which aired on May 1st. This is the second part of a contest called 'Second Cut Queen Championship', part one was in Hina's last group post that was done just a few days ago. So as the title says this is the second championship, the first was two years ago and Shiho was the Queen. This contest was to determine which member had their scenes cut the most from shows over the last two years. Sometimes a scene will be edited, perhaps not aired because there wasn't enough time to air it and on occasion because a segment wasn't all that good!

 Make these recaps very mini as it's not as if I'm reviewing a regular drama. Try to let the screenshots tell most of the story and they follow the action as it takes place. Many of the segments that weren't aired were shown on the show, many were enjoyable and also you know why many may not have aired! Shiho wasn't able to keep her crown but did end up in third place which in a way isn't a good thing because it means so many of your scenes were cut! In second place with having the most screen time cut was Yuka and that's a shame as she's Hina's most wittiest member on this show. The overall Queen was the group's captain Kumi which kind of surprised me, she had 73 minutes of air time cut. I've watched most of these shows the last year and not many members have as much screen time as she does. Kumi was at today's 'Girls Award' show so you should be seeing more of her in the next group post, then again perhaps it's time for her second solo post....
