Hinatazaka46: A little(huge) bit of this and that for 2022 #25....

 


 These group posts are starting to appear a bit more frequently but wish there could be more solo ones for the members. This Saturday a 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show will be taking place, should have a few posts with pics from that as my top Keya and Nogi members will be there. But no Hina gals will be making an appearance which is kind of odd as none were at the last huge fashion show held last month either. For the second time have Mei leading off a post and these pics are from her first ever photobook. That came out at the beginning of September and will have all of the pics from it on January 1st, that's a good way to begin off a year! Could have done it on December 1st but instead will be having a different book which could be the top one for 2022!!!!



 Not a lot of different things for today but bet there could be close to a hundred new pics. How about beginning off with some recent blog pics from Yuka?! That sounds like a wise decision to me and always say wish she could have more pics in these posts. She is by far the #1 Idol when it comes to hosting a program or segment, she really deserve her own TV show.











 Hina seems to have everything save for one thing which are regular group monthly cards. They usually have them for their singles and other special holidays but a whole bunch were released at the end of September and finally getting around to some today. Have four members here and each has seven cards that begin off with Akari and the post for her photobook has been so immensely popular. Following her is Hiyori and she'd be #2 on my list on what Hina member I want to see have the next book. Rounding off this batch is the group's tallest member Mikuni and last up is Sarina.





























 Am now caught up with all of the 'Uni's on Air' web game promo pics for their third anniversary, least I think that's the case. So now on to November pics and while some have been posted still have a dozen members to get to. Of course won't have all for today but have a quartet of members who each have four promo photos for the web game. First up is Ayaka who celebrated her 24th birthday on November 2nd, after her is Yuka once again and as you can tell the theme for November is Autumn. Third up is Nao and rounding out the set could be the final ever game pics for Manamo, she announced her graduation due to health problems two months ago yet she's still with the group.

















 Still wish there were more magazine spreads but least there's been a couple in most posts. Once again have one for Hinano who had a huge set in the last post, not too large of a spread for today which is from the December edition of ar.





 Another pair of spreads which are from the December issue of EX-Taishu. Group captain Kumi has her own spread and then is joined in a mini one with Ayaka and Mei.












 The cover girl for the magazine was a fabulous looking Konoka and just didn't have enough new pics for a solo post. What I may do soon is go back about 4-5 months and collect her pics for a solo post, not just for her but also some other members who deserve more posts. 














 What hasn't been featured in many recent posts are mini recaps for the group's 'Aimashou' variety show. This could be the last recap for a while as the last couple shows have been for introducing the new fourth generation members. But do have a mini recap for today which is for episode #182 that aired on October 23rd, was going to have this in a Kyoko solo post but there weren't as many screenshots of her as I was expecting. The theme for this episode was '8th Single Hit Campaign' and as most fans know for the first time she was the center for Hina's newest single "Tsuki to Hoshi ga Odoru Midnight" that was released on October 26th.

 For the second time the members were challenged to create a video for the single all in one take, the previous time was for the third single. So this turned out to be an interesting episode as it showed how they went about making this video, it all had to be done in one take or they would have to start the filming all over again! Few mistakes were made and it did take the group almost an hour longer than expected to finish the segment all in one take. But they eventually did and some members said it was more grueling than performing a concert! So while Kyoko had the most screen time you will see all of the members in the screenshots which go in order of the action. After the pics have the episode though it's not subbed, you can get that version at Team Hinata Subs.
