Higuchi Hina (Hinachima) / 1st gen

Looks like NogiEigo has done her well

 

It's originally a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt. I wonder where she learned about it, since it not your typical Nogieigo sentence.

 

she probably just learned the meaning of the sentence and copy paste it

 

Earlier this week, TV Guide published an interview with Hinachima. It is mostly about her upcoming role in the play 'Hotoke no Kao mo Warau Made', but also touches on her acting experiences in general.

Making people laugh is the most difficult thing for me. Therefore, I felt anxious and scared.

She's getting prettier isn't she?
We need Chima's photobook asap

 

i hope she gets one before she graduated.

 

I hope she doesn't graduate.

 

I hope she will get one in 2020

 

Today Chima posted a short blog update about... well, about nothing specific really. Random, short, but fun as always.

After waking up early and drinking a cup of boiled water, I have been drinking herbal tea such as Elderflower & Camomile, and Ginger & Lemon Myrtle. ♡

What a coincidence, I was drinking Camomile tea when read her blog

 

A new blog from Chima today! It's a short one, and it's mostly about the handshake events of recent days. And she took pics with both my 2nd gen and 3rd gen oshi!

Because Christmas is around the corner, I dressed as Santa during round 1 and 2.

She lately seems like to use motivational phrase as her blog title

 

Yep, no more sunlit rooms and small houses on prairies.

 

This has been said time and time again in Japanese matome sites, recently her looks has subtly changed into like a beautiful married woman (not in a bad meaning). And I do feel the same too. Wonder what's changed? Is it her makeup? Her hairdo? Her fashion style? Or maybe her subtle soft and content expressions she gave off lately?

 

I think it's a bit of everything. I am following her for almost 3 years now, and a lot happened. She became a model, her acting appearances keep on increasing, and her popularity also climbed steadily. But there has also been a change in her attitude. Sure, she is still hungry for a Senbatsu spot, and she is broken after every announcement since she is an Under member most of the time, but she seems more accepting of it than she was before. She is still looking for ways to keep herself relevant to the group, but she doesn't force it that much as she used to, but rather search for that role within her own realm of interests and possibilities.

Although she has always been a member that stayed close to herself (she doesn't really have a distinct idol persona), I think she grew even more towards herself, to the point that she is not forcing herself that hard anymore. In a recent interview, she said she doesn't mind showing she has a bad day at a handshake event and even talks about it with her fans that come visit her lane, instead of faking a happy attitude.

I think that mindset does wonders for stress relief, and it shows.

Besides all that, she is turning 22 next month. She is a young but grownup woman. She had that precious smile since the beginning of Nogizaka46, but her beauty really started to blossom around age 18/19. Given her interest in makeup, skin care and all that, she also knows how to pronounce it well.



She is lovely in every way possible.

 

A lovely blog from Miss Hinachima, mostly about her adventures this December.

Just ignore me, my cheeks are bright red because I drank alcohol~!!!

I don't know what is going on but her words really pierce into my soul lately... there is so much truth in the little things she says.

 

Alcohol helps

 

She's on a roll, she wrote another blog today!

Santa hasn't come yet, but Christmas has always been exciting me since I was little~!
