Here's something you don't see often and perhaps it's never happened. That's of Hinako having four posts in a four month stretch and think that could be the first time ever. She's had 32 posts to date which is an okay amount but her first was done 6 1/2 years ago so you can see that's only been about five posts a year. Hinako will be turning 28 in October and I really thought she was coming close to 'retiring' from doing gravure spreads and books. That hasn't been the case as she had a photobook come out in February plus has had seven spreads since then which definitely pleases her large fan base and it is quite huge here.
"Be With Me" was the title of Hinako's fifth book which came out two months ago and most of this post will be for the book. That's because an expanded web version has been released and here's some promo pics for the book and hope it's not her final one.
Nit a large post but as mentioned it's been so hard to have many posts for Hinako over the years. There's a trio of new spreads to help promote the new version of the photobook, first off is this set from the May 3rd issue of Flash and at two pics why did they bother? But after that is a slightly bigger Flash spread that's from their May 10th edition.
On April 23rd Hinako was at an event for the book and there was also one when it originally came out. The photobook was also to celebrate her tenth anniversary in the entertainment field, like most books these days the photo shoot took place in Okinawa and rarely are books shot outside of Japan. Here's a short video of it: Photobook event video
Will end off with the best pics of the day and this spread doesn't feature outtake pics from the book. So it's nice to see Hinako back to doing regular spreads and hope they continue, this superb set is from the May issue of Young Champion Best. Bottom two pics are from the photo shoot and it's a shame there's no video for this spread so after the pics have an oldie yet goldie Hinako video from 2018 which most should enjoy.
Hinako is by far the #1 most popular gravure model here but she does do much more than that. Was looking at her older posts, they've just received so many views over the years and not many have topped those figures.... nor Hinako's figure!!!! Her first post was close to six years so you would think she should have many more than 28. But she does disappear for long stretches on occasion, in the years 2017 and 2019 she only had one post for each year. But in 2020 Hinako did have four posts and a pair already this year but seeing as how she's going to be turning 27 soon we may not be seeing too many gravure pics in the future.
Hinako has a Line blog but rarely updates it, she just did her first post since March last week plus she also seldom posts many pics on her Instagram page. But do have 55 new pics today which are a mix of gravure and regular things. These here were in her last post and are outtake pics from Hinako's fifth photobook "Colors" that came out on January 20th. Remember being a bit surprised at that back then as the PB seemed to come out of nowhere.
Hinako does a lot of acting these days but hasn't had that major role yet in a drama but as long as she keeps appearing in them perhaps a starring role will eventually happen. Will be ending off with a pair of sweltering mag spreads but here's a smallish one from the June issue of Maquia.
Hinako has cut back on her gravure modeling the last three years but every few months pops up with some breathtaking pics as she knows what's made her popular. She also does some regular modeling work, these are some superb recent pics for the Snidel Spring collection.
On April 26th Hinako attended an event to promote a new RPG Smartphone app game called 'Abandoned Girl Hyakuhana Ryoran' and she's never appeared at many events over the years. Here's the link to a short video from it and Hinako is a bit of a thin gal: RPG event
To the final two batches of pics which are both mag spreads. This first one is a bit older and is from the February 9th issue of SPA! and was promoting Hinako's "Colors" photobook.
Hinako often is the cover girl when she appears in a mag and has that honor for today's final set that's from the June 3rd edition of Young Jump, bottom six pics are from the photo shoot. Following the pics is a short promo video for her last PB.
