Shiho Kato: Her soon to be legendary eighth post!!!!
Sigh, a guy can dream... can't he?!?! Have moaned so often how hard it is to have solo posts for Shiho, as you can see by the title it's just her eighth. However this is her fifth in nine months and that's a pace I can live with, she's also had a lot of pics in group posts. But Shiho's popularity seems to be waning, her first five posts all drew a high amount of views but not her last pair. She seems to be the only Idol in the last year who has seen her popularity dip and wonder if that's because she hasn't had a photobook? Good chance that's a reason and speaking of books when is she going to have one?!!!!
The past month there's been a decent amount of Hina group and solo posts but thought there would be many more of them. That's because the group released their eighth single on October 26th but seems there's been no increase in their activities though no one has been busier than them the last three years. Speaking of the single 'Midnight' sales will be around 440,000 copies sold in it's first two weeks. What a consistent group Hina has become, their previous single sold 455,000 in two weeks while the one prior to that sold 435,000. They can't increase their fan bae but least they're not losing them.
Shiho's last post was done just two weeks ago but still have a high amount of new pics. Odds are against it but if she could have another post in the next three weeks that would make six for 2022 and she would qualify for the yearly fave's list. First off are some recent IG pics and Shiho was the first member to open her own page, that took place on February 2nd of this year which was her 24th birthday. Don't have the spread yet but you can see she'll be the cover girl for the next issue of CC.
In two weeks there will be a Winter 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show though it's not one of their major ones. But a few members from Keya and Nogi will be there, as of now no Hina members are scheduled to attend and hope that changes. Here's some brand new November promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game which of course has a theme of Autumn.
An older web game was called "Otome Kagura: Requiem for a Zombie" that was released in May 2019. It featured the voices from members of the three '46' groups but only Nogi gals appeared in the TV drama. Though the game is 3 1/2 years old and has ended just recently began to post pics from it and as you can see Shiho's character's name was Yukari.... hmmm, a bride with a shotgun, hmmm...
Have another batch of cards whi could be considered semi-historical. Had never posted these before which are Shiho's first ever cards and back then they were known as Hiragana46.
Bit of a change in looks since 2017. Shiho has been a model for CanCam since February 2019 but never has enough pics at their site, this is it for the past month.
And even two of those were outtake pics from the magazine's November issue.
Last up for this post has Shiho gracing yet another cover which is from the November 8th issue of Young Champion, bottom four are from the photo shoot. After the pics is a newish video from CanCam which shows what she has in her purse.... didn't see my phone number there....
