Always begin off these group posts with some terrific photos but most are are gravure ones. Those kinds of pics are ones Hiyori has never had but I still like her quite a bit so for the first time ever we'll have her at the top of a group post She did finally have her first solo post back in September, hate to say it but it's the most unpopular Hina post of all time... oh well, not everyone can be a superstar here!!!! Don't know if I'm way off base with this thought or perhaps I'm right on the money. But I bet a photobook of Hiyori's would be out of this world, she seems to have such a nice figure on her though that's not so easy to tell. Would love to see a book and if one does happen sure it wouldn't be for at least another year, even if there isn't one she still looks mighty fine to my eyes.
Hina too looks mighty fine to my eyes, even more so!!!! If I was to rank my top photobooks of the year the one that she had that came out in March would be my third favorite one of the year, could be my top Hina book. That would be taking away the honor from
Kyoko and she's been semi quiet as of late. I'm thinking she'll end up in the fourth position on this year's faves list which is an achievement, that spot will be done on December 14th so that'll be when her next post will be.
For the first time
Kyoko was the center of a Hina single, that was .Midnight' which was released on October 26th. After four weeks on the charts it's still selling at an okay pace with 460,000 copies sold to date, about the same as their previous single and not many groups can say that these days. Have two sets of member's cards for the single, first off is
Mikuni who is still young but what an attractive face she has. After her is
Hina and each have eight cards.
What we haven't seen for a while are any members at an event. None were at the last two larger fashion shows plus there hasn't been a regular event for them since early July. It's too early but in another week or so will be posting new Christmas cards for the members from the 'Uni's on Air' game. Will have one early set to get everyone in the mood, they're of
Konoka and doesn't she continue to look like a few trillion yen?!!!! Have more Keya cards than Hina's and would like to do a post for them this weekend but not too confident there will be enough new things for a post.
Have plenty more promo game pics from 'Uni's on Air' which came out in November and as you can see the theme of the month was Autumn. Have a quartet of members, first off is group captain
Kumi who I keep trying to have a solo post for but it never works out. Following her is
Mirei and you'll see more of the pair just a bit further down. Rounding out the foursome is
Akari and her photobook has been so popular here, last up is
Marie who has been getting a much bigger push as of late or at least much more screen time on their variety show.
Just one sett of IG pics but they're a superb batch, of course every pic of Suzuka could be considered superb!!!! She's the one I want to see have the next photobook but not really sure if she's among the more popular members who haven't had a book yet. The top two pics were from a new CM Suzuka just did, not going to have that today as I'm really trying to have a solo post for her this month.
Once again no new magazine spreads and that's been common for many other posts lately. But Hina doesn't need them to have super duper posts, however do have a spread from July that had been missed. It's from
Big One Girls and there's two separate spreads, the first one features the pairing of
Haruyo and
Marie who both share the same February 23rd birthday, same year too.
The cover girls for the issue were
Kumi and
Mirei, think because both have the last name of
Sasaki they appear in so many magazines together.
Will end off with a recap from the group's 'Aimashou' variety show that aired on November 13th which was episode #185, for once this will not be a mini recap. Two reasons, one because so much took place in this show though will try to let the screenshots describe much of the action. Second reason is because this was the
best episode in so many months, this was an entertaining show but it ended so abruptly! It was part one of a challenge so will try to have another post next week before you forget anything. The name of this two part challenge is "Autumn G1 Hina Derby", meaning who loves their fellow Hina members the most? That's among the four members of
Hinano,
Miku,
Konoka and
Yuka. The last two members had come out on top in the previous challenge of this game money wise, the first two because they did so well in their competitions. Each member has a certain amount of
ChaCha coins, what they do is wager on the member who they think will do the best in a match and there will be seven of them. The co-host
Kagura will set the odds for each competition, for instance if the odds were 4:1 on a contestant and the member bet two coins on them. If that member they chose to win does that member will win eight
ChaCha coins so consider it like going to the horse races.
There's going to be seven challenges in two shows but how are they going to fit them all in? That's because in this show they were only at the beginning of the third one and perhaps it will stretch out to three episodes? First match was who was the best at spinning around a Baseball bat and it's not as easy as it looks. The five Hina members in this contest were Suzuka who failed horribly and was disqualified! Also in the game was Marie who did a tad better, Mei who was the favorite to win but came in third. Fourth member was Kumi and she too didn't too well. The object was to spin around the bat ten times, when you're done you flip one of your slippers as far as possible off your foot. There's a mini zone and you can't leave that or you're a goner! The semi unexpected winner was Ayaka and she flipped her slipper over six meters which was a record for this competition. Miku was the only one to pick her to win and she herself won four coins which has put her in the lead.
Let me wrap this up a bit quickly, the screenshots show what took place and they go in the exact order of the action. Game two was called 'No Reaction Queen's Cup', the object was to eat/sip a bit of food and show no reaction for ten seconds. Sounds easy but the foods were a bit sour or tart, the four foods they had to eat and keep a straight face for ten seconds were Jomi juice, a slice of lemon, rice vinegar and Kishu no Akahon which is a very sour extract. Once again five members battled it out, there was a three way tie with Mirei, Shiho and Hiyori showing no reaction to what they ate. Yuka picked Shiho who had 3:1 odds and is now in first place as far as the betting members go. Third and final contest for this episode was named 'Volley Shot Juvenile Filles' and it was the best of them all. The object is to score as many soccer goals in thirty seconds using either your feet or hands. The ball will be thrown by Kagura and you have to hit the ball while it's in the air. However we only saw two members and then the competition ended just like that(!), after two players Suzuka had the lead with five goals scored. The final three minutes featured a song from their current single which was a decent tune but would have preferred seeing the conclusion of this match.
