Hinako Sakurai: Yet another in the 'Blast from the past' series....

 

 Doesn't she look so similar to the gal in the next post, they were both born in 1997 and only three months apart. These are the kinds of posts I've really missed doing and for so long were the posts you would see more than any other for quite a few years. But so many of my fave actresses have fallen by the wayside and I wonder what's happened to them? The ones that got married can understand why we don't hear from them as often but that's only been a handful of the actresses I've posted about the last five years. Don't think this will be the start of many of these kinds of posts but am really hoping so. However bet most are hoping those posts won't be for Hinako(!), though a huge fave of mine she isn't with most viewers. For years her posts drew the least amount of views than anyone else I posted often about but I adore her immensely and this may be the first of three posts for her.

 Sigh, there's always a whiner in the crowd though it's been so hot she should enjoy those Arctic waters! As mentioned Hinako is a huge fave of mine, in 2019 she finished fifth om the yearly faves list and looking back on it she should have been in the third position. The next year she dropped to 14th and the second half of the year is when her posts started to dwindle here. Last year she just had two posts, the second was for her April 2nd birthday when she hit the age of 25. So this is Hinako's first post in fourteen months and I have missed her along with a few of her peers. But think I can do another post for her in about two weeks and then perhaps a third right around the end of July.

 Hinako was in the third and fourth seasons of 'Kimi to Sekai' which I did skim through but never watched the entire seasons. The subs for them were done so late and infrequently so lost interest in the series, she has no other drama scheduled yet for this year. However Hinako will be in a pair of films, one is "Kingdom: Flames of Destiny" which comes out on July 28th. The other is "Witches Perfume" that will be released this Friday and she has the lead role in it. Hinako has done a few interviews to promote the movie and the pics below are from the Entame-Next site. Also have the link to the interview which is right here: Entame-Next site

 Sone fine looking pics above and have so many more here. For so many years Hinako had a Line blog which I thought was very excellent as she always had some terrific photos plus news of her activities. But she stopped posting there at the end of March and so didn't two other woman who I post about so wonder if something is up with that site? Now Hinako has an IG page and these photos are all from the last few weeks, they all get a grade of A++++ from me!

 One thing that has been lacking for a while are magazine spreads but have a superb new one from the May issue of Bis. Hinako will also be the cover girl for a July magazine and hope that will be in her next post.

 Hmmmm, some of those above pics look familiar so hope it was new. Will end off with a set of fabulous photos from an event that took place on June 8th. On that day Hinako and the rest of the main cast attended a screening of the "Witches Perfume" movie and while most won't agree very few top the way she looks at events. The film opens this Friday so will have the premiere pics in that next post, after the pics is a video of the event.
