Shin Hinatazaka Music Parade Blu-ray Box

Having joined in 2022, Hinatazaka 46's fourth-generation members have expanded their activities into the film Zembu of Tokyo, featuring every fourth-generation member, and the stage production The Quintessential Quintuplets. Following three successful days at Pia Arena MM in July 2025, their own television programme powers up! The fourth generation leading Hinatazaka 46's new era takes on sketch comedy for the first time alongside passionate singing performances. Yoko Shogenji sings Hadashi no Kisetsu solo in full idol mode; Nanami Konishi and Rio Shimizu demonstrate perfectly synchronized dancing in Nagisa no Sindbad. Their performances build on their growth in the previous series. Kaho Fujishima and Rina Watanabe play the slightly sharp-tongued Match-Selling Sisters Rinasia and Kahoel, while Haruka Yamashita solves cases with her specialty sanshin as Detective Haruharu. The sketches draw on the members' distinctive personalities discovered by the programme. A special episode looks back on laughter and tears since the original Hinatazaka Music Parade, alongside July 2025 fourth-generation concert footage. Blu-ray-exclusive extras include unaired scenes, Hina-dori videos filmed by the members and a roundtable looking back on their first sketch-comedy challenge. The booklet includes programme offshots and fourth-generation concert photography. This edition preserves the culmination of eighteen months of challenges.

The first disc begins with episodes 1 and 2. Yamashita uses her sanshin to solve a case as detective Haruharu, with Hirao as the eccentric partner Hirabo. Shogenji sings "Hadashi no Kisetsu," and the fourth-generation members join the hosts for "Gakuen Tengoku." Takeuchikawa Kirariteru's fourth-generation news investigates Ishizuka's senior-like behaviour and Miyachi's romantic interests. Princess Connie's Mindconic Show then introduces Konishi's mysterious hypnotist and Fujishima's interpreter, who put the members through a succession of challenges. Ishizuka, Takeuchi and Watanabe sing "Over Drive," while Hiraoka and Miyachi perform "Hachigatsu no Yoru," followed by another news segment.

In episode 3, Ishizuka and Miyachi become coquettish witches in Lovely Smile, with Watanabe's pleading and Fujishima's confession adding to the sketch. Fujishima sings "Mou Koi Nante Shinai," and Konishi and Shimizu synchronize their dancing for "Nagisa no Sindbad." The news segment brings a Shimizu confrontation. Episode 4 transforms Hirao into choreographer HONOHIRA for a dance-gesture game. Hiraoka and Watanabe sing "Utsukushii Hire," Hirao and Fujishima perform "Nemurihime," and Ishizuka becomes children's entertainer Tamako for an improbable exercise routine with Hirao and Fujishima.

Episode 5 introduces the sharp-tongued match-selling sisters Rinasia and Kahoel, played by Watanabe and Fujishima. Miyachi takes a cool approach to "Kazari Janai no yo Namida wa," and Ishizuka joins Shimizu and Fujishima for "Naminori Johnny." Tamako's exercise segment reveals Watanabe's unusual voice and Shimizu's funny faces. In episode 6, Konishi, Shimizu, Hiraoka and Watanabe dress as contrasting male suitors competing for Miyachi in Hinachelette, then perform "My SunShine." Konishi Charmaine's news catches Yamashita's unsuccessful attempt to inherit a familiar comic routine. Episode 7 introduces the Hinalicious gyaru group of Shimizu, Shogenji, Takeuchi and Hiraoka, with Magical Banana word-association games and "Kibun Jojo." Konishi and Yamashita sing "Kanade," prompting a reaction from host Kanade, while the news uncovers irregularities in a vote for the member people would want as a girlfriend.

The second disc covers episodes 8-14. Princess Connie returns in episode 8 with supposed pain-blocking hypnosis, foot-reflexology dancing and an electric prank pen. Miyachi and Yamashita sing "PIECE OF MY WISH," Ishizuka and Shimizu perform "Planetarium," and Hiraoka introduces a haiku-poet persona who probes the others' hidden feelings. Episode 9 returns to Lovely Smile, with Shogenji's Kansai-dialect requests and Fujishima's calculated encouragement. Shogenji, Fujishima and Watanabe perform "Toshishita no Otokonoko," Konishi sings "Kofukuron," and Hiraoka's poetry exposes an unexpected detail of Yamashita's home life.

In episode 10, the match-selling sisters return with more uninhibited jokes. Ishizuka, Takeuchi and Miyachi sing "Tenshi no Wink," while Hiraoka performs "Mirai Yosozu II." Tamako's exercises reveal Shogenji's unusual kissing behaviour and Konishi's sleeping pose. Episode 11 brings back detective Haruharu and introduces a new Hiraoka character. Hiraoka, Fujishima and Miyachi perform "Kimi no Me mo Hana mo Kuchi mo Ago mo Mayu mo Netemo Sametemo Cho Suteki!!!," a favourite of Shogenji's, with a surprise woven into the performance. Yamashita sings "Genki wo Dashite," and Tamako reveals one of Watanabe's endearing habits.

Episode 12 revisits Hinalicious as a member's possible departure and an energetic game bring out a new side of Watanabe. Ishizuka, Takeuchi, Hirao and Yamashita perform "Sunny Day Sunday," while Shimizu, Konishi, Shogenji and Watanabe sing "secret base." Episode 13 combines Rinasia and Kahoel with Lovely Smile for their first joint sketch. Shimizu, Fujishima and Watanabe perform "Hatsukoi Cider," and "Zenryoku Shonen" prompts Ishizuka to reflect tearfully on the group's debut. Tamako's exercise segment also features Hiraoka's outburst towards Takeuchi.

The finale looks back over the members' eighteen months with Sanji no Heroine, from nervous studio solos to musical-comedy collaborations. Footage from the fourth-generation concerts, which drew around twenty thousand attendees, accompanies new interviews and a return to memorable moments. The members and audience share performances of "Dance de Bakon!" and "Sore ga Daiji."

The third disc contains the fourth-generation members' special round-table discussion and the opening and interlude sketches from their concerts. The fourth collects unaired footage; the supplementary material also includes Hina-dori footage filmed by the members themselves. A 36-page photo booklet combines programme off-shots with concert photography, and eleven original postcards are enclosed.
