Wow, my memory is fading too fast which I first brought up in the previous post. Had no idea until a minute ago the last Hina group post was done just six days ago, hate to think of what I may forget about next! But bet this post may be larger and there weren't too many of these in June or July so guess the group was overdue for a bit more exposure. Do recall saying in that last post was working on some solo posts for the members though that hasn't worked out. But will have one for Mei, who is at the top here, by the end of the month. Her 24th birthday takes place in four days plus her first photobook comes out in three weeks so will have a post for her by the end of the month.
Those are two new pics above from the book, glad to see her have one but will admit was a bit shocked it was her with the next book and not someone like
Shiho.
Akari's first PB just came out at the end of July so she too should have a post coming up soon. Did have her first solo post four weeks ago and that's been one of the Hina's most popular posts of the year. On September 3rd the Autumn 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show will be held and eight members will be taking a stroll on the catwalks. Will have posts for three of them and perhaps
Hiyori too who is overdue for her first solo post.
For a change no promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game. For August they did something different and have a series called
Precious Pair which features two members so there's twice as few pics. But do have some missed cards from earlier this year for the group's eighth single "Boku Nanka", I hope this isn't like 2020 where we get only one single. Have a pair of member's cards with the first set featuring
Suzuka, she's someone I would love to see have a photobook.
Up next for cards promoting single #8 is Yuka and to me she's Hina's wittiest member, we need to see more of her and a week ago opened her own IG page.
You didn't have to wait too long for more pics! In April
Yuka began hosting a radio show on Tokyo FM which is sponsored by
Lawson convenience stores, Hina's first campaign with them is about to begin. Her show airs on Thursdays and there's no way I was going to overlook these pics from last night's show. Her special guest was
Yui from Keya who was discussing her new photobook and various Keya tidbits. Have done two posts for
Yui in the last ten days but she's also had close to fifty pics in other posts. Being a radio show means there's no video but have the link to it's site where you can listen to the show which is close to 34 minutes long plus there's a transcript of the discussion on another page.
Have even more promo pics which are for the group's 'Mysterious Library' game. Two pics each of fourteen members for August and July led off by the searing
Kyoko....
There's still been a shortage of mag spreads but have a mini one here from the July 19th issue of
SPA! featuring
Ayaka,
Mei and
Sarina.
In each issue of Friday the group has a two page spread called 'Hina Satsu'. These ten pics go backwards from the latest edition to their July 22nd issue.
For the first time in a while will end a post off with a very mini recap from their 'Aimashou' variety show. Took a break form these recaps because I wasn't too thrilled with the four previous shows. One of my biggest pet peeves is when they or anyone else wear masks or face guards on TV or at an event. You tend to focus on what they're wearing and I just can't stand when those things are worn but luckily that wasn't the case for this episode nor the next. This was show #170 that aired on July 31st and is part one of a special show, will have the second part in their next group posts.
However it wasn't the most exciting of shows and to me these days Keya's variety show has now moved past this one as being my fave but they keep going back and forth. The theme of this which is in the third screenshot was a look back of what the members and group went through in the first half of 2022. Not going to go into what took place as I'm getting a bit weary from writing up drama recaps. But the screenshots go in order of the action and there really wasn't much out of the ordinary that took place in the first half of the year. Suzuka at least got a decent amount of screen time and unknown to many other members(?) she recently got her license and scored 100% on the test!
