Hina Kawata: Her hypnotic eighth post.... plus a Happy 22nd Birthday!

 

 Don't know if hypnotic is the correct word but these photos at the top should leave you in a trance!!!! Will have one more post later on today which will be the final one for July, hoped to have a trio of them for today but the next one will be so stupendous it'll make up for not having a third! Have been taking a break from doing group posts but will have one for Hina coming up in about a week but there's been no shortage of solo posts for the members. The group has a new show beginning on August 4th and will talk more about it then. Plus will have more info on their latest single "Am I Ready" that came out five days ago which has sold 443,000 copies to date. So it'll probably end up selling about 460,000 in week one and their sales are so consistent as except for one eight of their first nine singles sold between 415,000 and 486,000 copies in it's first week. The lowest selling one was "Tteka" and don't know why as I think it's their second best single.

 I like Hina quite a lot and so don't you viewers as the post for her photobook has had the fourth highest amount of views this past year! Was quite surprised that she hadn't had a post in five months and when that happens it usually means there wasn't enough things for a solo post. Which was the case for Hina, she and a few other members weren't getting enough attention as it was focused on the new fourth generation gals. There have been some pics in group posts but all in all it hasn't been a busy period which I think is changing and this will be a large post with over eighty pics.

 Whew, don't we need more pics like those above and wonder who the first Hina member will be with a second photobook? Lets get right to things as there's quite a few pics though not all that many different activities, this first batch are photos since June 1st from the Hina group blog. I really like how Hina looks in that fourth pic which is my fave of the bunch, three are from a magazine photo shoot which you'll see later on in the post plus the first and last pics are for Hina's 22nd birthday.

 Hina turned a year older on July 23rd and her looks have really changed over the last four years which was to be expected. Have some older birthday pics from years ago along with some group cards which are no longer a series.

 Have some newish Hina cards with the top four being for the group's "One Choice" single that came out in April, other cards are from March and none of the ten had been posted before. 

 What we hadn't seen from Hina for five months was a solo mag spread featuring her. She's often the cover girl for the magazines she appears in and has that honor for this set from the August 7th issue of Big Comic Spirits but the spread itself wasn't all that large.

 Why not have an encore viewing of a spread that was in Hina's last post because it was so superb and she was the cover girl for the February 22nd issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday.

 Will end off with a huge batch of promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game. First four are regular ones for July while the ones after are for Hina's 22nd birthday. After those are four pics each for June, May and April. The group has a second YT channel that began in April and features videos of the members. Hina has one solo video to date that she uploaded three months ago of her climbing Mt. Takao, that video is after the pics.
