Was hoping to get the MV collection via CD Japan's proxy service but just got informed that it's sold out

I never saw it appearing on the Sony JP Music Shop either

Still advertised on Hinatazaka's official fansite but the click through to the Sony JP Music Shop doesn't take you through to the product page (even just to say that it's sold out)

Feeling really depressed as a result but will try again on 4 December in the hope that it might magically appear

 

Don't get why it is only sold on Sony's online store... I would really like to pick up a copy when I'm in Japan for the Happy Magical Tour instead of buying it online.

 

Also why they've made it a limited offer.....they'd have sold much more if they'd made it more available.

Enjoy the Happy Magical Tour, wish I was able to go instead of stuck at work

Loved how Mikunin speak informally here and there to Kosha.

 

Thanks! First time going to a grad concert. Will be sad to see all 4 of them go, but glad that to get to experience a grad concert in person. I hope Hamagishi, Nibu, and Higashimura will participate at Tokyo Dome in some form or another.

They announced additional copies「けやき坂46＆日向坂46 BEST MUSIC VIDEO COLLECTION 2015-2024」Blu-ray will be on sale and will be shipped out starting Dec 24th. However the acrylic stand will not be included. Still seems like a Sony store only product

Brilliant news, I'll try again

 

Cool little local vid about HinaFes in Miyazaki. Has English subs enabled and shows a better look at the Festival itself besides the tiny bits we saw previously.

RUMOR: some people are claiming they saw 10-15 unknown girls in official seats watching the latest tokyo dome performance, all wearing hats and masks. 5ki maybe?

When the rumored nogi 6th showed up at 4th Gen budokan live, I notice about 10 girls in a section. I glanced there from time to time, and those girls weren't waving penlight or anything. It was just 2 or 3 rows of blackness.
From what I found online, some people say they "weren't there to enjoy the show" but to "observe and study" and that was why they didn't act like fans. There was a dude sitting close to me that trained his binocular in their direction a lot too.

If that is true, I would think hinata 5th Gen would behave the same.

 

It would make sense since by now 5ki girls were already selected and are probably on their training period. We will only find out if it's true when they are revealed.

 

Hmm on hinata fanclub. The manager post a new year message in "hinata bocchi nikki" and mentioned they will post lots of updates on members in 2025 as well. The picture attached LOOKS LIKE 5th Gen girls at boot camp practicing. They are in loose gym attire with shorts inside a gym. A few had bibs only. But I counted 13 girls. The picture is shot from the side behind the girls. So I can't say for sure who they are, but they don't look like 1st to 4th Gen to me. The 2 girls with bibs might be shogenji and hiraho/micchan though... Maybe they join in to help them practice or something.

Edit: looking at the picture more closely (it is small and I cannot zoom in) the 2 girls I think have bibs might not actually be bibs, might just be a light blue tank top shirt over their sweater...

 

The rabbit ear headphone tradition.















Glad that 4ki preserve it.
