Nogizaka46: The long awaited first torrid post for.... Hina Higuchi!!!!

 

 Four Nogi posts this week but actually its only been one as the first three were for graduated members. That'll be the case in the future as long as those gals stay busy but there are some current members who I do like and this is a case of someone's post being years(?) overdue. Used to have a fair amount of Hina pics in Nogi group posts but no longer do them as we're down to just six members from the first two generations. For two months have been wavering on whether to have posts for her and finally thought 'Why Not?' as I'll bet her solo posts will be popular. We all know how sweltering Nogi photobooks can be but we all have to admit so often the members need help to give them that 'enhanced look'. Not so for Hina who has the most 'gravure model' type of body of any member and I first noticed that in Nogi's second group photobook.... whew, how about these pics at the top?!?!

 Those are from Hina's first photobook and more about it to end the post off with. This was another one of those 'Spur of the minute' posts which are always good ones but it also means didn't have time to work on it and have to go with the pics I have. Which should be no problem with this post as there's over fifty new ones and every pic in her upcoming posts should be new as there hasn't been a group post in over a year! So was planning on having two of these posts but the more I think about it why not have about four of them as there's been so many things that Hina has done over the last 3-4 years you've never seen.

 Wow, she has such a alluring figure and what a nice surprise it was that she has a photobook. Hina is one of four first generation members remaining so this August will mark her 11th anniversary as a Nogi member. No graduation rumors and there may not be for a while as she's at her peak as far as being a Nogi member goes. Hina has been a Senbatsu member for the group's last three singles, hosts a radio show, is a model for a magazine plus does a few other things so she should be around for a while. January 31st was her 24th birthday, few recent pics from her Instagram page but the amount of pics members have is so much lower then when they posted on Nogi's group blog.

 Some newish cards for the 'Nogi Fes' series, she seems to have less than most members.

 Hina's done so many interviews to promote the book and all have been somewhat interesting, batch here is from the Natalie site and here's the link to it: Natalie interview

 Lot of interviews for the photobook but only a pair of mag spreads. That's okay in a way as there's so many spreads from the past three years to post, here's a really terrific set from the April 5, 2021 issue of Big Comic Spirits and Hina was their cover girl.

 This set from the April 19th edition of Flash does have some outtake pics from the book.

 Have five really ultra stupendous '46' photobooks to post, four now as one was done five days ago. So will have the next one on June 1st, the next about three weeks later and both will be for Nogi graduates which have been mentioned in posts this week. The book after that will be for a Hina46 member and then will get to Hina's so that'll be in July, all of the books rate an A+++++++!!!! Her first book is titled "Koibito no Youni" and was released on April 12th. Sales have been excellent as after three weeks close to 52,000 copies have been sold, that's the highest total in a while. Think a big reason is this was the first book since November 2020 not to be for a graduation. Will end off with some alluring pics from the book with the first two being the covers, have many more for future posts. Hina has hosted 'Showroom' twice the last month to promote the book, the April 12th show is after the pics.
