Whew, that first photo is just so amazing but then again she has too many of those to count! Tomorrow is a holiday here in the states so don't think I'll have time to whip up a post but luckily just had a half a day of work so thought I could squeeze in this post and how I love doing them for Hinako! π But also this is a rare occasion as how often have I been able to do back to back posts with women who share the same last name? Have never kept track of that because it's happened so infrequently and I'm thinking this is just the second time ever here! Right below is a post with an ex-SKE gal named Kitano just like this post's honoree, think those are the only two women here with that last name. The only other time I can recall doing back to back posts with the same last name was so long ago forget when but the two women shared the Watanabe name! What's funny in a way is that positions one and three on my 2022 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list have that last name with Hinako sandwiched in between the pair and think I've done posts for five women with Watanabe as a last name. Now that got me thinking is that the most for any name and would have to say yes, can't think of any more than two women who also share the last name and now I'm starting to babble.... that happens way too often!!!!
Sigh, if I could choose just one of my huge favorites that I would want to see have a few digital books or become a gravure model none would top
Hinako! π I think she is on another level and her two photobooks were too terrific as it left us(me) gasping for more! But even without such sweltering photos
Hinako would still be such a massive fave of mine and when I first began to notice her back in 2015 don't think I've ever swooned over someone so much.
Hinako does have quite a few accolades here as she has made the yearly faves list a few times and in 2022 finished in the third position. She also had my #1 photobook for the year and was my top Nogi member from 2018-23, had she been busier
Hinako would still be my favorite member. An even higher honor is that for the all time list
Hinako π was in the second spot so you know how much I adore her and how I hope she's reading this as she's still single! However the activities have really slowed down the last two years and once again she didn't qualify for the yearly faves list. Next Summer when I do that third
All Time Fave's list of course
Hinako's position will drop because of her posts decreasing but she'll still be in my top ten. It's not what a woman has done in a 2-3 year stretch but perhaps over a decade so because of that
Hinako will only drop to about sixth or seventh which is still very impressive.
A few days ago had a photo in a post which I said would be about fifth on a list of my all time pictures, doing a list such as that may be impossible. But if I did try to create one coming in third for being my all time fave photo would be the one right above which is from
Hinako's second photobook and how I hate trying to type with that pic staring me in the face as I can't stop gaping at it!!!!! This could be a large post but wish there were more recent pics but do have some terrific ones from a new event and also some oldies that are new for here. I think it's a good idea to revive some older photos from mag spreads or events as if they were posted five years ago bet most of you readers have forgotten all about them. Plus I'm sure many of you viewers just started coming here within the last year or so and have never seen any of
Hinako's classic older pics, that also goes for other women's photos. So there could be over a hundred for today and hate to admit this but her posts take so long to write up for I
can't stop staring at these photos..... whewwwwwww........ ππππ
Often say how time flies and next July
Hinako will be hitting the age of thirty! Know it's not too old but you have a hard time believing someone like her is about to hit that age though it's happening or has happened with most of my huge favorites. Can't say 2025 was a very busy year for
Hinako, she was in a stage play and did have a role in a web drama plus has continued being a semi-regular handicapper for horse racing(!) for a web site and newspaper. But that's about it, she hasn't been all that busy and I wonder at times how semi popular ex-Idols can go so many years without doing much and still pay their bills(?), for extra income how I and many others wish gravure modeling was a part of her future! Will begin off with some newish pics from her IG page,
Hinako doesn't post many there as she saves them for her fan club page and think she does have a solid amount of members.
As you can see in that bottom photo the second generation members had a mini reunion and that took place on October 1st but two were absent. They're my all time favorite generation from any J-Pop group and wish I could have done more posts for them but think all have at least one solo one. My top two Nogi members are from that generation,
Hinako had the top spot for five years but was eclipsed by her close mate below but she certainly could take that crown back!
Oooops, how did that bottom photo sneak in?! Well, guess they may not be as close as they were in the past and there's plenty of Nao for them to share(
please don't wake me from my fantasy!!!!π)! It's almost December and usually for ex-Idols it means I'll post plenty of their older group Christmas cards. But have posted
Hinako's a few times over so this year will do something different and for today have two sets of cards, know that almost all had never been posted before. There are group cards for December but don't post them often for anyone because of X-Mas but have plenty below for from 2015-19 but for some reason had zero for 2017 but there's many from 2019 to make up for that.
Second batch of Nogi cards are for New Year's and fairly sure these too are new for here. Like the above batch these go from 2015-19 and for a long time New Year's cards were called
Lucky Bag.
