Nogizaka46: The "Pairs" post #7- Himeka Nakamoto and Hinako Kitano

 Another one of those spur of the moment posts but it's been a while since one of these 'pairs posts' plus there's an excellent new spread featuring this pair. Himeka does look taller in that second pic though the difference between the two is just one cm. Hinako is actually the much easier member to have one of these 'pairs post' for and may have at least one more for her coming up. What would be a challenge is having a trio as the dynamic duo often are in pics with Miona and the three seem to be awful close or at least will be for the next few months.

 The trio all had their 'Coming of Age' ceremony in January as their birth dates are within six months of each other though there weren't any pics of them as a duo or threesome.

 Hinako is still supposed to have a photobook but it's been pushed back twice now, can't understand why that's happening. Hoping for a Himeka PB too as that'd be a nice graduation gift for her, to be honest it'd be a better gift for us fans. This new spread inspired me to do this quickie post and it's from a special Flash edition titled 'Best of Summer 2017'. There's been a few other pairs who look beyond sultry in their pics but to me kind of hard to top Himeka and Hinako!!!!

 Mainly have a bunch of blog pics featuring the pair though there are a few others which can be classified as impeccable. Hope Himeka's impending graduation hasn't made a few others start thinking about theirs, bet a few others like Hinako may have been or still are disappointed they were demoted to the ranks of an Undergirl once again. Couldn't find a video of just the two of them so have an extra long one to watch that's a little over a year old for Suumo. The Undergirls had done some CM's for the company, you can view theirs along with a behind the scenes segment. Few other members are in the video such as Chiharu and Yuuri.

Nogizaka46: The 'Himeka Nakamoto' post #3

 That top pic has been one my of huge fave pics from the last few years and would probably make my all time fave Nogi pics list if there was one. Himeka did take a health break from the group from late January to late March, don't know what the issue was but she seems to be recovered and is looking more terrific by the day. Haven't been doing many solo posts recently for the members but will be trying to do many more of them, if you're a Himeka fan you'll love this post as 55 pics are brand new for here.

 Gulp, kind of hard to refuse an offer like that!!!! Himeka just missed my 'Top Ten Fave Nogi Mmbers' list which I did last year as she finished either 11th or 12th. Not sure when I'll be dong the next list but would think she has an excellent chance of making it.
 Taking that leave of absence meant Himeka wasn't on Nogi's last single "Influencer". The two singles prior to that one she was a Senbatsu member, have a feeling for the group's next single or two she may go back to being an Undergirl though her popularity is still way up there. But she did have two new songs on their last album 'Umaretekara' album which is getting close to 400,000 copies sold, these are her insert pics from the album.

 Before her leave Himeka was one of Nogi's best bloggers, since her return she hasn't missed a beat as she usually does an entry most days and here are some recent pics.

 Himeka is starting to appear in more mags these days, she had a pair of superb ones back in May. Have two brand new ones today and don't need to tell you how fabulous she looks in them. Manga Action made a very wise decision having her as the cover gal for their June 20th issue,

 That bottom pic is something else, Himeka can sure look quite alluring. More incredible pics for everyone to savor from the July edition of EX-Taishu, third pic is one of the best so far for 2017.

 Himeka has been a host of the NHK 'Rajira' radio show since April 2015. It was the first activity Himeka did when she returned to Nogi after her health break. You'll see Marika and Hinako in a few of the pics as many Nogi members are guests on the show. The show airs Sunday nights and you can find the audios of them on YT, these are pics from two June shows.

 Finally hit the end of this post and let's hope there's many more solo ones for Himeka coming up. Quite a few members appeared on 'Showtime' to promote the new album, on the May 26th she was joined by Erika. There's a video of the entire show after these pics, kind of a long video but one that I found to be very enjoyable.
