Hono Tamura: Her illuminating ninth post....

 

 Not a huge increase in posts for July but will have the most since March. Don't do many Idol posts the final week of a month as in the first week of a month there's so many new game pics, cards, monthly messages that come out so try to hold off until then. But Hono is someone I do like a lot so thought why not do something for her though her previous two 2023 posts have drawn such a small amount of views which is sort of baffling.

 It was exactly two years ago that Hono had her first solo post, she also had one in August of 2021. Until now that was the only time she had posts in back to back to back months, she did have one in June. This should be a very large post with about eighty pics yet am holding some things back. On September 2nd there will be a 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show and Hono usually appears at them so hopefully can do another post for her soon after that. Still am taking a break from doing group posts for Hina and Keya though there's been no change in these kinds of solo posts. For some reason was getting tired of doing group posts and felt a break was needed, think the next one for either group will be in about ten days or so. 

 I like Hono immensely and she should be my fave second generation member but the lack of posts has prevented that. She is busy but it's been so difficult having posts for her and what's helped lately is that Keya has upped their amount of activities the last four months. Have a little bit of a lot of things, no sweltering photos like the ones above but all get a grade of A+ from me! First off is this batch from Keya's group blog 'Diary' that she's posted the past month, you can see many pics are from when the group visited Paris two weeks ago for their annual Japan Expo event.

 Don't know why I started on this but for the last two months have had all of the Keya monthly message pics in solo posts. There are the 2023 ones for her that go backwards from July until January. 

 Know this is kind of old but had never posted it and the interview was a bit interesting. It's from March 2022 and the Sportiva site and never knew Hono was such a star at Volleyball. She also talked about her part time job she had while in high school and she didn't join Keya until she was twenty in age, she's the oldest second generation member. These pics are from the site and also have the link to it as I'm sure most fans would enjoy reading it: Sportiva interview

 If you didn't know the 2G gals joined in December 2018, her date of birth is October 13, 1998. Don't think Hono iss a full time model for the Ray magazine though she has had two spreads for them. Perhaps she soon is going to be a model for them and hope so as they usually have some superb pics at their site. Such as these which came out a few weeks back and hope it's the start of many of them.

 So with there being no recent magazine spreads let's have an encore viewing of terrific one that's from a special Flash issue called 'Best of Spring 2022'.

 Nine days ago the simulated dating group game 'Saku Koi' began and its like the ones for Hina and Nogi. Haven't checked it out yet but will soon, it's good to wait a while to allow a game to work out it's initial problems or whatever. What I've discovered over the last few years is this excellent Japanese site call PR Times. It always has so much info on new games, apps, CMs and other things along with links to a game's site and often videos. So will have the link to the site and the article they have on the 'Saku Koi' game. Here's some of Hono's promo pics for the game, those bottom four just came out this week and aren't they so super duper?! Yes they are and hope they come out every month for the game which they do for Hina. After the pics is a short promo video that came out seven hours ago and there are more of them on YT: PR Times site

   

 The other Keya game is with 'Uni's on Air' and in May they celebrated their 2.5 anniversary with the game. The top four pics are the promo pics for July and four come out every month. The ones after are from April and had never been posted until now. They do have an on and off series called 'Precious Pair' and Hono was paired up with Minami.

 Will end off here as this batch will make it close to eighty pics and as mentioned am holding a few things back so she can possibly have her next post in the first week of September. Yesterday she and two other 2G members attended an event to promote a unique Keya/Sakura exhibit called 'New World'. The exhibit opened today at the Roppongi Museum in Tokyo and will be going on until October 29th. Of course being in America I won't be visiting but it does look like an exhibit fans would like to see as it shows the history of the group, how they made their videos, photos for their singles and many other things. Plenty of fabulous pics from the event and may have more in Keya's next group post, the top and bottom pics are posters for the exhibit. There is a short video of the event from today's 'The Time' show which does show what the actual exhibit looks like.
