Hitomi Honda: Her first highty anticipated intro post!?

 

 Have only done one other AKB post this year so do wonder if this and her upcoming posts will be popular? Back in January 2021 made a new requirement someone had to be 22+ in age to be introduced and have done well following that. There was one exception back in February for a Morning Musume member and you viewers are glad for that as she's so immensely popular here. So here's the second exception in 21 months who is Hitomi, she celebrated her 21st birthday yesterday but for some reason thought she was turning 22 and had saved up many recent pics for some posts. So when I noticed it was just birthday #21 thought to myself 'I'm going to have to wait another year to introduce her?!'. That wasn't going to happen but it's not as if 21 is ultra young plus you would have been seeing her in many future posts. That's because Hitomi has the lead role in a drama that just began and was planning on recapping the series, more on the show later on in the post.

 So because of her age am not going to go back too far with Hitomi's activities, think March of this year will be cut off point. So am not going to talk all that much about her happenings prior to this year but she was one of four '46' members who were in the popular J/K-Pop group I*Zone. Have been needing more women to post about in the future and she's someone I can see doing many posts for over the years. Not an AKB fan these days but do follow a few members, Hitomi is someone who does so much work outside the group so won't need to ever talk about them all that much. However was a huge fan from 2010-15 but after so many faves left my interest in them dwindled very rapidly. But did watch all of their group dramas which were all enjoyable and it's been some years since there was one.

 Hitomi doesn't post all that many IG pics but then again didn't look too hard for this post though do have some brand new ones from  yesterday's 21st birthday celebration.

 Hitomi is definitely a thin gal but she wasn't always that way, her weight loss came when she was a member of I*Zone but to me she is just so darn attractive though do wish she would have seconds at the buffet table! She made a guest appearance in the third episode of the 'Octo' drama that aired in the Summer, not a huge role but her character was so key to the story.

 "Hokuo Kojirase Nikki" is the title of Hitomi's new drama and it's the first time she's had the lead role in a show. It began on October 5th and is being subbed at NYAA, once two more episodes are done will be recapping the drama and I think this is going to turn out to be one of my top five shows of the year! She plays the character of Shimako who works for a travel agency in Tokyo. But in the first show the owner said the agency is going bankrupt and she's out of a job! Shimako's passion or perhaps even obsession is the country of Finland and the series revolves around her love for the place. Not sure how many episodes there will be, originally thought it'd be ten but it may only be four shows which I hope isn't the case so will let you know in her next post and these screenshots are from the first episode.

 The dimensions for those screenshots came out a bit odd, viewing it the video looked normal so let me see if I can't fix it up before the recaps. Hitomi is one of the few Idols who has never done any gravure pics and could be because she's so thin. But she's a very busy model and may appear in more magazines than any other AKB member. She's a model for the Non-no magazine and in her next post will have many of their site pics, this set is from their July issue.

 This second spread is from the March issue of She Three and don't think I'll be going any further back with her pics.

 Do have three newish spreads that will be in her next post, final set for today is from the June issue of Mini and she was their cover girl.

 We've hit the end but for the finale have some really super duper Hitomi pics from the August 4th 'Kansai Collection' show that was held in Osaka. As you can see Hitomi does have some very thin legs but what an attractive face(!), after the pics is a short video from the show.
