Hiyori Hamagishi: Her fourth trance-inducing post....
Back to back posts for a Hina member plus the previous two were also back to back ones featuring a pair from Keya. Not that I'm trying to do so many posts for J-Pop Idols but they are busier than anyone else, especially the members from those two groups. Am writing this up on Saturday but as you can see it wasn't published until Tuesday. Even though there were no posts yesterday October should be a busy month for posts and the question is will I find the time to do them all?
This will be nothing like the previous Hina post which may have had my #1 photobook of the year! So though no gravure pics this should be a decent post for her very small fan base(!) and hopefully will have another post within the month. This is Hiyori's first post since April but had been trying to have one for so long. But there were so few new pics from her and I was wondering was she one of the members that got pushed aside a bit so the new fourth generation members could get more attention? That doesn't appear to be the case and though it wasn't official have a strong feeling Hiyori took a break or a mini hiatus for June and July. During that time there were no new modeling, game or IG pics so think taking a break is the logical answer to her semi disappearance. Hiyori did return in mid August and do have quite a few sparkling new pics of her, to me she could have the second most attractive face of any member.
Oooops, wouldn't have forgotten to add it in but should have done that above. Which is that four days ago, last Friday, Hiyori celebrated her 21st birthday(!) and had five posts for gals that turned a year older in September. Why not begin off with some b-day pics, top four are brand new for the 'Uni's on Air' web game while the others are from last year.
This will be a somewhat large post but am holding back 15-20 pics so there can be another post for her within the month. These are pics from the last six weeks from Hiyori's IG page, there were so few the previous two months and as you notice many are from last week's birthday.
Earlier this year Hiyori was in her first stage play which was called "Odd Taxi" and I'd like to see her in more dramas. Also earlier this year recapped her 2021 series "Borderless" which I really enjoyed, it's a shame she wasn't in the "Actress" sequel. Kei was the name of her character who was blind and you can see my top #1 facve of all time played her older sister. Being blind ended up being an advantage near the end as Kei was able to take down a killer because the fight had been when the lights were turned out and she knew how to use her karate skills in the darkness. Do recommend the drama which also starred five other '46' members.
In March Hiyori along with two other '46' members became part time models for the andGirl magazine. These are pics from April which I don't think were posted and even if they were bet they've been forgotten about! There are some new modeling pics which I'm holding on to for her next post.
Hiyori was also a model for the With site and use the past tense as she and a Nogi member haven't had any pics there since April. That's a shame as those modeling photos were always terrific and these sadly could be her final ones.
How about a timeline from the past four years?! The top pic and the next eight are for Hina's first nine singles while the last one is the new uniform the group will be wearing for their second album which comes out in November.
Some of my fave pics in these posts are the promo ones for the 'Uni's on Air' web game. Have three months in this batch which go from September to June, there were none for the month of July as she was on a break(?).
Will end off with a fabulous set of pics which are from Saturday's 'Girls Award' Autumn show. Hiyori always looks so darn good at these fashion shows and this one was held at the Makuhari Messe Hall in Chiba. She took her stroll on the Red Yazel stage and six other Hina members were there so you'll be seeing some of those pics in upcoming posts. Didn't find any videos from the show nor have there been any recent ones for Hiyori. So after the pics will go back to May 20, 2021 and her personal video for the "Kimi Shika Katsutan" single and her short tune was called "Hiyo Tambourine", that's after this batch.
