Hinatazaka46: A little(huge) bit of this and that for 2022 #21....

 


 Did four terrific posts yesterday, should have saved one for today! So the two posts for today could be considered 'clean-up's' though this one will be quite good. Just did a Hina post two days ago but think this will be their busiest month of the year for posts as their eighth single will be coming out on October 26th, still don't think any members will be at this Saturday's 'Girls Award' show. This has to be the most odd Hina post of the year as there's zero magazine spreads plus no event or modeling pics! Yet this should turn out to be a decent post and does help when Mei begins off. These pics are from her first photobook and in it's first two weeks out has sold close to 43,000 copies. There were no Hina photobooks for almost a five month stretch, now there's been three in two months and perhaps if they had spaced them out better sales may have been higher. 



 "Tsuki to Hoshi ga Odoru Midnight' is the main song of the new single which comes out in three weeks. Have posted all of the member's pics for the single and here are the covers.








 Once again won't have a recap for the group's 'Aimashou' variety show. They've gone back to wearing mouth guards 80% of the time on the show which I hate to no end, Keya members don't wear them on their show so why do the Hina gals? Let's begin off with a few blog pics which feature Ayaka, as is the case for a few other members I like her so much but it's impossible to do a solo post for them.











 About 98% of this post will feature group cards or promo pics for their games and to me often they're much better looking than mag spreads or event pics. How about more Ayaka with these newish pics for the 'Hina Koi' game, also have some of those pics for Konoka and Hina.













 This batch came out in August which are for Lawson and they're a convenience store chain in Japan. The group has had many promo pics like this year for them but can never find any videos on YT so will look for one to end the post off with, the member's names are on the pics.

















 How about some more Ayaka pics and perhaps I could have done a post for her. Will try to have one next month as Ayaka will be turning 24 on November 2nd. Last post had many pics for the group's 'Mysterious Library' game, many more for today which also feature Shiho and Haruyo.













 Those above are some really sharp looking pics. In just about every group or solo post have many promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game and those I like quite a bit too. So while this batch aren't new pics they're ones that hadn't been seen before and they're special birthday pics from the past year, did post a few for some members. Have a quartet here and leading off is Manamo who will be graduating soon but no details have been revealed, probably a bit before X-Mas. The other three members are Yuka, Sarina and Mei.

















 We've hit the end and while it may have seemed like a smallish post there were close to eighty new pics. Will end off with more birthday cards from 'Uni's on Air' and the date of when they celebrate it is always on one of the pics. Beginning off this quartet is Konoka who is followed by Marie and Hinano. Last up is Suzuka and to me she is such a looker(!), if I could choose what Idol should have the next photobook she'd be at the top of my list!!!! Looked but couldn't find any kind of regular video for Lawson. So after the pics have a new PV from the upcoming single and hadn't heard the song until today. Title of it is "Sonota Ozei Type" which is a decent enough tune but the video is quite entertaining. It's a song that just has four members who are Yuuka, Hinano, Miku and Suzuka..... to my ears it sounds like an oldish Nogi song from perhaps their 2013-16 period.
