Suzuka Tomita: Her quest to become the Empress of the Earth is almost complete!!!!
Hmmmm, looks like she means all business in that top pic! Many here have had the goal to be the ruler of the Earth and/or Universe, don't think any have succeeded but being a Queen here is probably a nice consolation prize. May seem hard to believe but this is Suzuka's fifth post of the year, one more and she'll qualify for the 2023 fave's list. Three other Hina members should also qualify and though I like to do posts for many others seems J-Pop Idols are really dominating the posts this year.
Hmmm again, it appears she's already started changing the name of most things to Suzuka which I guess isn't a bad thing! Have mentioned how her posts have never been overly popular which is both true and false. True because all of the other Hina member's posts get more views and so don't just about every other Idol. But then again Suzuka's posts draw a decent amount of views, perhaps 300+ compared to the 500+ most other Idols get. However if I check those posts about four months from now bet they'll all have over 500 views so guess you could say she's a mid-range popular gal here. Of course one huge reason for less views is there's been no photobook to date and the question of the year is will she ever have one?
Suzaka's last post was done less than three weeks ago but bet there's close to eighty pics which more have never seen before, it's a mix if new things and older ones that I'm sure haven't been posted before. In Suzuka's last post had some event pics to announce her first musical stage play "Vincenzo" that will be opening up on August 11th in Tokyo. She'll have the lead female role of Hong Cha-Young in the play and hopefully there will be another event for it. The bottom five pics are from a new interview for the play with RBB Today, have the link for it and it was an interesting read: RBB Today site
Bet the rehearsals will be taking up much of Suzuka's time so we may not see of much of her in the next two months though she will still be a co-host of the 'Let's meet at the circuit' formula one racing show. This batch are IG pics from the past two weeks, second to last photo is her telling us what her rank should be for current J-Pop Idols....
There used to be a regular monthly card series for Keya from 2016 to 2019. That ended once Hina broke away and then after that when Keya changed their name to Sakura. But you do often see cards for when a group releases a single or for a holiday though of course there are the monthly pics for the group's games. So this set could be semi-historical as they're Suzuka's first ever cards from the Winter of 2017/18 and as fans know back then the group was called Hiragana46. The bottom four are from Keya's fifth single when H46 had their first ever song which was "NO WAR in the Future" and that came out in October 2017.
Suzuka's looks have really changed in 5 1/2 years though of course so hasn't it for all of the other members. Here's a semi-older magazine spread that's from the January 2021 issue of 20+ Sweet. Hadn't included it in any of her solo posts and if I ever did have it the spread must have been in a group post two years ago so perhaps many have never seen it before. We need more of these as her last solo spread was over five months ago.
Suzuka's last post featured all of her promo pics for the group's 'Mysterious Library' game for the period of May to last November. Have her June pics which just came out last week and aren't they just so superb?! Correct me if I'm wrong but have been looking into the game and it's always appeared to me you needed a Smartphone to download and play it, is that still the case?
That does look like an interesting game and had been reading up on the rules, I'm not a huge gamer but would like to give that a shot. Another game Hina is involved with is 'Uni's on Air', these are their promo pics for June.
We've hit the end, though doing her posts take a bit more work I really enjoy doing them. For the finale have some overly ultra fabulous promo pics for the group's 'Hina Koi' game. The order goes backwards from June until February, the Valentine's pics, and as it shows in the top ones the game is celebrating it's 2.5 anniversary. Hina opened their second YT channel at the end of April and it's one fans should check out as it'll be featuring videos of the members. Six days ago Suzuka had her first video at the site and it's getting close to a million views! In the video she's out car hunting for the first time ever, she got her license in April 2022. Doesn't appear she bought a vehicle and shouldn't her first one be a formula one racing car?!!!!
...and if not of the Earth, at least of our Heart(s), LOL π P.s. I'd bet her posts views would literally skyrocket if they just had her do a photobook!!! ☺️π
