Hinatazaka46: A lot of recent this and that's....
Rarely begin off a group post with Kyoko but haven't been able to do many of them the last few months for her. Just one regular post since mid-November though did recap all nine episodes of her drama. It has been a slowish stretch for her and hope she doesn't go out on a very quiet note. But it will be ten weeks until Kyoko leaves so there is time for her to amp her activities back up and what I along with so many fans want to see is a graduation photobook and will it happen? No clue though of course we are dying to see another from Kyoko and she would be the first member to have two. Personally am not too sad about her departing as I did predict she would be leaving this year but just wish Kyoko had waited a bit longer, perhaps the Summer as she could have gone on the group's Spring tour.
That's the poster right above for her grad concert that will be taking place on April 5th, think two days later is when Hina begins their Spring tour. You would think they would have a single come out just before the tour starts though no news in that yet, maybe they're letting Keya get the attention as they have a single coming out next month. Do have a lot of many things and Akari last month returned from her hiatus and didn't go on the group's Autumn tour. Have her remaining missed group cards from 2023 and am caught up with most members.
How about some sparkling pics from the Hina 'Diary' group blog that features Mikuni. Many of the pics are from her recent 'coming of age' ceremony though she did turn twenty four months ago. After the photos check out a video of the ceremony that was uploaded to the group's YT channel eleven days ago and it also features the camera enthusiast Miku.
Have said I wanted to slow down on these group posts but it's not so easy doing them for the members so just may as well continue on. May have one more within the week and at least two more in February, hoping we'll see new pics this year for Valentine's. Second below is Shiho and hope some new things come along soon for her as I would like to have a post for her 26th birthday which takes place in nine days.
Still have a few more January promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' game. This batch begins off with Hiyori and has she blossomed into such a sharp looking woman. She's followed by Suzuka and you did see her pics in a post done last week for her 23rd birthday, bringing up the rear is Konoka and to be honest have been bummed out that I haven't been able to do a solo post for her in eons.
One more batch that has the four third generation members, if there is another post this month will have some of the game pics for the 4G gals. Leading off is Hinano who is followed by Marie and Haruyo, both will be celebrating a February 23rd birthday. As usual saved the best for last and of course that's Mikuni!
There's also a newish series for the game called S.teller. However it usually only features 2-3 members from Hina and Keya, have a pair for today. First up is Hiyori and she's my choice for the next photobook but not holding my breath that it will happen. Also below is the captain Kumi who turned 28 two days ago, still undecided whether to do a solo post for her but like too many others there hasn't been all that many recent activities.
Will end off with a massive magazine spread that may have been the largest for 2023. It's from the December issue of BLT and it features five members. In the top photo going from left to right is Mirei, Nao, Kumi, Hinano and Miku. After the huge spread is another new video that was just added to the member's YT channel and it shows how many of them spent their New Year's holiday.
