Keyakizaka46: A little bit of this and that for 2019 #1....



 Last year Keya blew the field away with posts in the first three months, sadly those posts really slowed down and they were crushed by Nogi in the end run. Hope they don't feel too bad about it as I would think every year Nogi is going to be #1 for post counts. But can see Keya once again zooming out to a huge lead as there should be a few posts for them in the next ten days and hopefully at least a few of them will be solo ones.
 Trying to have another for Risa, have plenty of new Keya cards and Non-no pics but wish she appeared in more solo spreads. She'll have at least one post by next weekend along with a few other members who will be appearing at the January 12th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show. They're also going to have another show in late March plus there will be the Spring 'Girls Awards' show, so many Keya members take a stroll on the catwalk for those huge fashion shows.





 Only three new happenings for today but they do total up to be over seventy pics, could have had more but let's save some for future posts. For the second year in a row Keya was invited to perform on the year end NHK 'Kouhaku' show which features most of the more popular musical acts. Next post will have some pics from the December 31st show and will also have some screenshots in Risa's next post for their CDTV performance. She and six other members were at a December 29th press conference for the show which usually draws the highest ratings of any show for a year. These uniforms are only so-so to me as they were dressed a bit better for their performance.


































 On November 21st Keya released their first group photobook "21-nin no Mikansei", the 21 refers to the total group members. There's a Twitter site set up for the PB which has so many outtake pics which didn't make the final cut for the book, actually more pics then were in the book. Will have twenty or so pics from the site in each of the upcoming group posts and do have twenty for today.





















 Last up is a fairly big spread from the February edition of BLT. It's broken down into a few sets that features mainly a duo except for one set. That features Yui K. who we haven't seen in a solo spread for a while, she may have had more solo spreads than any member last year from January to July.





 A fivesome is featured in this next set and sure you know who they all are.









 Last two sets from the BLT mag feature pairs and first off are these four pages with Nana and Rika, neither one has appeared in that many spreads the past year.





 Last up is Rina who is another who we rarely see in mag spreads. Who we also don't see enough is her partner Nanako who is a huge fave of mine, that first 'Top Twenty Nogi/Keya' list will start in a few weeks and she will easily make the list. Probably won't make the top ten though but she would have if she had appeared in more mags or at events.
