Welcome to my humble site....

Hajimemashite minna san....welcome to my site on my fave Japanese Pop Culture likes such as dramas, movies, magazine scans, promo events etc. Mainly concentrate on my faves...Risa Watanabe... Kyoko Saito... Yui Kobayashi....Nana Owada.... Nene Shida.... if you're a fan at all of any of them then you've come to the right place(!) but many others are featured here besides them. Do mainly quick reviews on things I've watched, try to make the reviews brief, quick to read through with not too many spoilers, just whether they're good or bad and why I thought so plus whether you may find them enjoyable. Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available. Hope you find something that interests you, don't hesitate to comment, arigato gozaimasu!

Hinatazaka46: A little bit of this and that for 2022 #24....

 


 Not the largest of posts but bet there's ~70 new pics and why let them get a bit dated. Been wanting to do more solo posts but there's only been one member lately who it's been possible for and she's had a pair of them in the last three weeks. The member I really want to have a post for is the gal at the top here who of course is Miku. Her first photobook will be coming out on December 20th but she's been a bit too quiet the last few months but bet that'll be changing soon. So sure there will be a few upcoming posts and the two pics above are promo ones for the photobook. I really like the pics I've seen so far and to me Miku is just so darn attractive, what's especially good with the pics is that she retains some of that 'innocence' and the pics seem much more real versus most for Idols. Hmmmm, is she saying her book will blow the one from Nogi away?!


 Hina's newest single "Midnight" has sold 443,000 copies after two weeks. They remain consistent as that's 15,000 less than the previous single but 8,000 more than the single before that. The group just wrapped up their Autumn 'Happy Smile Tour' yesterday, it was the second of two shows at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo. Few pics from the final show and one of them is the first pic ever here for the fourth generation members. Just hope with a dozen new members that doesn't open the floodgates for graduations....
















 Used to be a tradition to have Konoka blog pics in these posts but have been slipping with them, have a few here from the past month and she's looking so darn good as usual.... hmmmm once again, another pic of a Hina member fraternizing with the (ex) enemy!!!!












 Maybe the slowdown on recent new pics had to do with the group being on tour, hope to have a post this weekend for Kyoko and perhaps one other gal. Shame there hasn't been a lot of new pics for Hina's captain Kumi as of late, these are from the Ray site and looking mighty fine to me. She's the groups oldest member and in two months will be hitting the age of 27. What(!), yet another pic with a once friendly rival....








 In each issue of Friday the group has a two page spread called 'Hina-Satsu' and these are from the last three issues.







 Surprisingly the member who has had the biggest spreads of the last few months has been Hinano. She was the back cover girl for the new issue of Platinum Flash which is #20 and it comes out four times a year or quarterly.














 Will end off with some promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game. There's some new ones that just came out for Autumn but this batch was released at the end of September for the game's third anniversary and hadn't posted these yet. There's five members with four pics each, first off is Sarina who missed a lot of the tour because of shoulder problems. Up next is Konoka who I can never get tired of, her bottom pic gets a grade of A++++ and after her is Nao.  Up next is Yuka who never has enough pics in these posts and last up is Suzuka who I want to see have the next photobook. After the pics is a brand new video promoting the group's 'Hina Koi' game.
