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....Miyuki Watanabe.... 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(huge) bit of this and that for 2022 #29....

 


 May be a bit slower over the last few days of the year, not as many things are happening plus I'll be taking a day or two off. Those could definitely be needed as I haven't taken a day off this month yet and only two since the beginning of November. Don't know if it'll be complete by tonight but after this will start doing what were the ten most popular posts of the year but will make it slightly different. Hina the member will be on that list along with one of her mates so let me try to zip through this as though that won't be a difficult post to write up it may be a bit time consuming.



 On the first of each month try to have a super duper photobook, do that on the first so it can get a few more views. For January 1st was going to have Mei's first and only book but now am leaning on doing it on Christmas morning as I'll be taking the rest of that day off along with the following. It's not written in stone but am 91.4% certain that's going to happen.



 Just did a group post five days ago but there's been very little else going on, when in trouble know that the gals from Hina will always be a life safer! So have a lot of this and that for this post and also would like to have one more of these before the year ends. About four months ago Hina did recruit a dozen fourth generation members, it may be a while before they're included in these posts. If you haven't seen the members yet here they are, these pics are advance ones as their first spread will be in the February issue of BLT. Don't know her name but in the first pic the diminutive member in the first row on the right kind of intrigues me. Noticed her on a recent 'Aimashou' show but have already forgotten her name, will get it for the next group post.





 Don't know what the occasion was but five weeks ago a whole new batch of group cards were released. They weren't for Hina's latest single nor for Christmas but they do look mighty fine and will have them in the next few posts. Have a pair of members for today who are Konoka and Hinano, she's going to be the cover girl for a January magazine and it's the third time in fourth months she's had that honor.











 Speaking of magazines in each issue of Friday the group has a two page spread called 'Hina-Satsu'. Here's the last three mini spreads from the December 27th, 20th and 13th issues.







 Of all the Hina members not to have a photobook Hiyori would be #2 on my list who I would love to see have one, will it ever happen? Who knows at this point but not holding my breath and here's some terrific blog pics from the past month.












 Hiyori has been a model for the With site for about two years now, here's some new snazzy pics from their site and she's the group's second tallest member.











 Hina just held two Christmas concerts, these pics are from day two's show that was held on December 20th. Do have the video and need some time off to view it all as those X-Mas shows are quite fun. In the bottom two pics is Manamo and it was her final concert with the group. There were two graduations this year and hope with the new members aboard a huge deluge of them doesn't take place.














 Continuing on with the Christmas theme have plenty of fabulous new promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game. Have a quartet of members who are Konoka, Yuka, Ayaka and Mei.... these should finish off the Uni's pics save for those I'm holding on to for a solo post.

















 Ooooh, almost forget these pics which are new modeling ones from the Non-no site. They feature Mirei and the bottom two are from her 23 birthday which took place five days ago.









 Final batch of pics is from a special Flash magazine issue called 'Best of Winter 2022' and for the first time Haruyo has a solo cover. The spread is eight pages and the bottom five are from their site. Didn't do a recap for the first time in a while for the group's 'Aimashou' variety show. Am all caught up with them but after the pics is a video to promote a new box set coming out for the show.
