Hinatazaka46: A little(huge) bit of this and that for 2022 #19....

 

 First group post in over a month but there have been at least five solo posts in that stretch. Really can't say it's been a quiet period for Hina as they're the busiest J-Pop group around but there hasn't been as many things to post about lately though that should be changing. One news item is that there will be another second generation member leaving who is Manamo but not sure when the exact date will be. She did say the Idol life has been so hard on her body which is why she's graduating. Manamo does have a degree in literature and is 24 in age so can understand why she needs to depart, no pics of her today but will have some in future posts. She won't be taking part in Hina's current Autumn tour and neither will Sarina as she's also not 100% healthy and her problem is a bad shoulder.

 Whew, do have to admit Hina's photobook from March is one of the top ones of the year! Next month the group will be releasing their eighth single and will have info for it at the bottom of the post. Usually start off with some member blog pics, will have some but they'll be group ones instead and all are form the first concert on their current tour which took place in Aichi.

 One member who has never had a solo post is Hiyori and I'd love to see her have a photobook! Her birthday takes place on September 28th so shortly after that will finally have that first ever post.

 Speaking of photobooks Mei released her first one a week ago. Mei celebrated her 24th birthday on August 23rd and wanted to have a post for her but there just weren't enough new pics. That's odd because of having a book but there were zero mag spreads to promote it but she did do a few interviews for it. One was with the Entame Next site and have the link to it: Interview

 On September 3rd eight Hina members attended the Autumn/Winter 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show and have posted pics for two members in solo posts. In all honesty the show disappointed me to an extent as the theme was Autumn and Winter clothing so not many who took a stroll on state stood out. Here's one member who is Shiho and she is just so difficult to have a solo post for, constantly work on having more but it seldom pans out.

 However Ayaka looked darn good at the show and it's impossible not for her to look that way! On October 8th the same eight members will be at the next 'Girls Award' show and the group will also perform their new single.

 In each issue of Friday the group has a two page spread. These ten pics are from the last five issues which go backwards from September 30th to the 2nd.

 There's still such a slowdown with Hina mag spreads and don't have an answer to why. Just one solo set for today which features the third generation member Marie, it's her first ever cover and is from volume 27 of Idol and Read.

 Not as many promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game lately so will have some new ones for the 'Hina Koi' game which features Hina and Shiho.

 October 26th is the date when Hina's eighth single will be released, title of the main song is "Tsuki to Hoshi ga Odoru Midnight". Finally Kyoko is the center of a song and she could be the group's top singer. Glad to see Hina is switching things up as the last four singles have had different centers. Have some promo pics for it here and there will be more in upcoming posts.

 Have only watched the PV twice but it's a decent song, reminds me a bit of Nogi's singles from the 2017-19 period. Some screenshots from the video which is after them, unlike Nogi all of the members are considered Senbatsus.
