Hinatazaka46: Finally the long awaited fifth post for.... Konoka Matsuda!!!!

 


 It's been way, way too long since her last solo post and believe me when I say wish she had a post a month! Last November and December did four solo posts for Konoka and I thought she'd easily qualify for this year's faves list. But that's not going to happen as this is her first post since then and what a shame as I like immensely. But Konoka has had plenty of pics in group posts but think you viewers enjoy these posts for members much more, so don't I. This should be a somewhat huge post, she's finally had her first solo magazine spread of the year though did have a few spreads that featured other members in group posts.



 But she did have a 'Pairs Post' back in February with another big fave of mine from Hina. While that post was just done a little over six months ago it's been the most popular 'Pairs Post' of all time, should I do an encore version of it? Her featured mate was her best Hina pal Suzuka who I also like so much, she's overdue for a solo post too but not much I can do about that....





 Never was able to do a birthday post for Konoka who turned 23 back on April 27th, she's the only member to hail from Kyoto. Not a huge amount of different activities but there are so many pics as they've added up over all these months and had been holding some back for a post such as this one. First off are some recent blog pics though not as many as usual, few are from the set of the "Love It" show where she has  a weekly segment and she also hosts her own radio show.

















 Few cards here that are from April and Hina's seventh single "Boku Nanka". It's been their only single this year and I wish they would pick up the pace a bit as far as releasing music goes.











 You can tell by Konoka's hair length those were two different photo shoots above. Up next are some recent pics for the group's 'Hina Koi' web game.









 Last Saturday eight Hina members were at the Autumn/Winter 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show. Did do one post for a member with pics from that show but not sure how many more there will be. The theme was of Winter and didn't think everyone there looked as superb as previous shows. Konoka wasn't there and don't think she's ever been at one of those shows. One requirement is you need to be a model for a magazine or site which she isn't and why not?! More game pics and these are for 'Uni's on Air', first four are from July while the others are brand new, there were no solo pics for the game in August.









 One more batch of game pics which are for the group's 'Mysterious Library' and they stretch back to the beginning of the year.











 Up last for today is this terrific set from the September 21st issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday, Konoka doesn't appear in a massive amount of magazines but she's often been the cover girl. No recent videos and there is a shortage of them for Hina members. So after the pic have Konoka's mini promo video for the group's fifth single "Kimi Shika Katan" from May 2021.
