Hinatazaka46: Their second glittering post for 2024....

 


 Had wanted to wait a few more days before doing this but not much else was going on so at least you can always depend upon Hina when you're in dire need of a post! Not that 2023 was a bad year for the group though think they became kind of stagnant and have noticed many other fans share that opinion. They're not in competition with Keya but they had an excellent 2023 with so many different kinds of activities and hope Hina and their management noticed that. But that's not to say last year was a bad one in the least for the group but am hoping they get out of this mini rut they're in and sure it happens often with groups who have been around for a while. This is a slowish period for most groups and though a biggish post it won't be as large as your average Hina post though there may be another before the month ends.



 There is a 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show this weekend but as of now no Hina or Keya members are scheduled to attend, it's been about three months since any Hna gal was at an event. So have a little bit of many things and could have labeled this as a 'Uni's on Air' post as will be ending off with many new pics for the game. But didn't do that and let's begin off with the final blog pics from Sarina, she turned 26 the day after Christmas and as of now don't know what she'll be doing in the future.









 That's Kumi in the bottom pic and she's someone I have liked quite a bit over the years but she's rarely had a solo post. The goal is to have one around January 22nd as that's when she'll be celebrating her 28th birthday. Hiyori is another fave of mine from the group and she is just so darn attractive, wouldn't mind seeing her have a photobook! Here's some recent pics from her IG page and she's slowed down on posting many of them but those first two are out of this world!!!!












 Had wanted to have a lot of solo posts in December and especially for those members who don't get too many. That didn't work out so well and there sadly is a reason why there hasn't been more for some members who I truly like quite a bit. Such as Konoka but least she does have many pics in these group posts, have some leftover 2023 cards here and none of have come out in almost three months. Didn't realize it until today and how did I miss this fact which is that she's the oldest second generation member and will be hitting the age of 25 in April.











 One way too small new magazine spread here form the December/January issue of Entame that features the third generation members Haruyo and Marie, both share a February 23rd birthday.




 But a much bigger spread belongs to their 3G mate Hinano who was the cover girl for the issue, it's dated for December/January and often at this time of the year mags double up on their issues.















 Will be ending off with two batches of new promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game, the theme is New Year's and each member has four pics. Leading off is Miku and over the last thirteen months she's had more posts than any other current J-Pop Idol. Hina follows her and know viewers wish she could have more posts as she just may be the most popular member here. Up third is the ultra irresistible Hiyori who I mentioned earlier, rounding out the quartet is Nao.

















 Second and final batch for today has Suzuka in the top spot, on the 18th she'll be celebrating her 23rd birthday and now her age is almost twice as high as what her IQ is. 😅 Konoka is up second and wonder why the Hana-chan pairing haven't had a song on a single seemingly forever, those are the Hina things which me and many others have missed over the last year or so. That wraps up the 2G members and there's only seven in the group, Akari didn't have any pics as she just came back from hiatus. So to end off will have a pair of 3G gals with Hinano first up, she's followed by Mikuni and in my eyes she easily has the most attractive face of any '46' member. After the pics is a brand new video uploaded to the group's second YT channel five days ago. It's titled 'Let's Be Happy' and each member briefly mentions that their New Year's resolution or dream for 2024 is. Still have a pair of 3G members to get to, am holding off in those for now as I expect there to be more game pics for those who celebrate a January birthday.
