Hinatazaka46: Their 'Uni's on Air' game pics for December part three plus a stocking full of gifts!
Hopefully can squeeze another post or two in today and perhaps tomorrow but know zero will be going on so it may not happen. So it's nice when you can rely on Hina to have a decent post and this one for today should be large, it's their third group post in less than three weeks. May have another before December ends, no recap for a 'Aimashou' show today and am wondering about #239? Know a few watch all of them and I usually did too except the quality of shows the last four months have been hit or miss, was wondering how good their December 3rd episode may have been?
Have a lot of different things for today and will end off with the final batch of 'Uni's on Air' game pics for December. Right above is Akari and have nothing else for her today, leading off was Hina and do have some cards that had never been posted from a few months back. Shame she hasn't had more posts as she is the #1 most popular member here with you viewers, was hoping there could have been more solo posts for this month but it didn't quite work out but there's still a week to go in 2023.
Also have some sharp looking cards for Sarina and a week from now is when she'll officially be known as an ex-Hina member. Her graduation concert took place on the 10th and will try to feature her more in the next few posts as who knows when we'll be hearing from her again. I think Sarina was the focus of the 'Aimashou' episode mentioned above and if so perhaps I could finally have her first ever solo post.
In two days Sarina will be celebrating her 26th birthday so that's another good reason for her to have a post. For the next week she still will be updating her Hina site page and be having IG pics but that's it for group activities. Sarina never has appeared in many magazines, think she just had two solo spreads and here's a mini one from the November 2021 issue of EX-Taishu.
Here's a recent spread from a special Winter issue of Nikkei Entertainment. It features Nao and did post the spread that had her with Hina and Miku.
How abut more cards but there is more than that in this batch. It's not a guilty pleasure but I've always liked Mei quite a bit and she's had a fair amount of solo posts though none for a while. Just wish she wasn't so darn quiet on the 'Aimashou' show, at 153 cm Mei is the shortest of the first generation members. Plus she's the only member to come from Nara, Keya also has only one gal from there and here are some superb pics for Christmas.
More Christmas pics which are new ones for the group's 'Mysterious Library' game, often have these in solo posts. One of these days should devote a whole post to them but they come out infrequently.
Mikuni led off the above set and just did her first ever solo post so there wasn't many new things since then to have for today. So will have some new pics from the Hina blog featuring her 3G mate Haruyo and been seeing much more of her recently.
Getting close to the end, there were close to a hundred photos but thought it would be larger. Have eight member's promo pics left for the 'Uni's on Air' game and why wasn't it a Christmas theme? There's four members in two batches, each have four pics and this first set is for the remaining second generation gals. It begins with Hiyori and doesn't she look just so attractive(?), I think so and she's followed by Hina and Nao who I already talked about. Will end off with Suzuka and don't think these were in her most recent solo post but am not 100% positive though either.
Will end off with the four third generation members and to me all of them have been getting much more exposure the last few months. Hinano leads things off and is followed by Marie who will be the cover girl for an upcoming spread. Last two members are Haruyo who I did mention earlier and as usual end things off with Mikuni.... do like to save the best for last!!!! Today a DVD box set of Hina's Christmas concerts from 2019 until 2022 was released, after the pics is a promo video for it.
Thanks, figured it would be and should have just viewed it right off the bat for 'historical' reasons so will have something about it in their next post.
Merry Christmas, man! ^___-
ReplyDeleteAs for HinaAi's episode with the farewell to Sarina, it was definitely one of the better ones, as far as I'm concerned!
