Hina-chan has a new song and video called 天気雨 out with rapper Novel Core! They wrote the lyrics together and Novel Core did the music.
The two of them appeared together on a reality show on ABEMA where they apparently became friends, because six months ago they shot a special version of the FAKY song Half Moon together.
The reality show made Hina a star in Japan, too, with
360k Instagram followersl and almost 200k for her
YouTube channel. In just the past couple of months she became an image model for hair-care line Diane Be True, has appeared with sponsored brand products from both high fashion (YSL, Chanel, miumiu) and local youth-oriented brands (SPINNS, Sculptor), was in a PR for Maquillage makeup, and modeled in magazines NYLON, ViVi, Furisode MODE (a kimono magazine), JJnet, and mini.
I really, really hope her fame--and the much-needed money she's bringing Avex--helps pull the other girls up. Now that Lil' Fang and Akina have begun making such good music and Mikako has carved out an image as a stylist, together they can do amazing things.
