Hinatazaka46: The unassuming fifth.... Hina Kawata post!

 


 Whew, when you're in the extreme northern part of the U.S when it gets to be above 70 F it feels like the tropics. But when it comes close to a hundred(!) feels like you're next to the sun, even the igloos are starting to melt! However there could be one thing hotter and that's these pics at the top. But as usual there's sadly no new ones in that vein but you don't have to go far to view the photobook they're from. That post has had more views than any other the past month so go to that 'Most viewed posts in the last month' section to see all of the sweltering pics.

 Still a slow period for my faves and wonder why, is there something going on I don't know about? That's because some weekly magazines doubled up on their issues and didn't publish one last week. Did work on five posts but none of them panned out save for this one but on the bright side have the makings of four others. Plus I did write up a drama recap and did view a couple of shows so a slow time now and again works out for me to an extent.



 Except for the photobook this is Hina's first regular post since March. What I've noticed is that after a '46' member releases a book you don't hear much from them the next few months and hate when that happens. A huge reason for wanting to to this post is that HIna turned 21 today and to me she does look a bit older. This is also day three of the 'W-Keyaki Fes' so wonder if they had a mini party during the concert? The group was scheduled to perform tomorrow too with Keya but they had to back out due to five members getting the virus so don't know if that will still be taking place.



 Will admit I was so shocked at how fabulous Hina's book was and it's been a good seller with 115,000 copies sold. There's two upcoming photobooks from members but they won't be topping Hina's! Have included some outtake pics from it but have come across even more which had never been posted.












 Have a lot off new pics for today but actually it's not all that many considering it's been over four months since her last post. But do have a wide variety of things but of course no sizzling ones like above, first off are some recent IG pics and most members now have an account.












 Hard to top those bottom two pics! So mentioned today is Hina's 21st birthday but it's a shame there's no regular group cards so don't have any for the occasion. But do have some new cards for their seventh single "Boku Nanka" and the bottom four are old but new for here. They're from last year's 'W-Keyaki Fes' and there should be some coming out soon for this year but sadly none for Keya(?).








 So while there's no regular cards for the group they do have promo pics each month for their four web games and to me the pics are usually superb. Just one pic a month comes out for their 'mysterious Library' game, these are from the past five months going from July to January.








 More Hina game pics which are for 'Hina Koi', hope the same names don't confuse you....









 One final batch of promo game pics which are for 'Uni's on Air' and these are the top ones to me. There's four pics for each month which go from July to April.

















 Since Hina's book came out in March she hasn't had a solo mag spread but has been in many with other members and you've seen those in group posts. So let's go back to a set from earlier this year and she was the cover girl for the March 16th issue of Weekly Shonen Champion.









 One last set of pics which was in the last group post but why not have it here also? With Miku she was the cover girl for the August edition of Tarzan.
