Keyakizaka46: A potpourri of recent happenings....


 That word potpourri just popped in my mind a minute before I started this post, had never used it before but it's a good word for these kinds of posts. There's another first for this post which is the above pic. For many of Nogi's posts have a breathtaking pic like that top one and those posts seem to attract twice as many views as Keya posts do. So let's see if that pic works and it should as that pic really threw me for a loop as I didn't realize she looked so hot.
 Am referring to Yui who has her first photobook coming out on March 13th. Up to now 100% of her pics have been ultra conservative but if there's more pics like that in the PB then think a '46' gal will have another massive hit on their hands. The pics for the book were shot in London, here are the three covers for it along with a few more promo pics for it.







 That second cover is quite terrific too. Have a few mag spreads for today but none of them feature Yui which is odd as she does have that PB coming out soon plus bet not many Keya members have been in as many mags as she has been the past year. She's also an exclusive model for With magazine, some recent pics from their site.












 This is going to be one big post, perhaps not a massive amount of pics but there are so many happenings recently. Of course that's because the new single is coming out next week, there's some videos on YT of the songs but prefer to wait until the actual single is out before listening to them.
 One other member will be having their first photobook and of course that's my fave member who is Risa. Was going to have a solo post for her today but will wait until the weekend or until her new Weekly Shonen spread comes out. She also is the cover girl for the current edition of BLT Graph, do have that set of pics which are outstanding.






 No title for Risa's book yet, release date for it is April 10th. There is a Twitter page set up for it and while all of the pics on it are superb there's not that true jaw-dropping pic yet.






 That pair has their work cut out for them as the previous four Keya books were all top notch....





 That's Keya Captain Yuuka in the third pic, her PB was the fifth best selling one in 2018. As most fans may know she's an avid equestrian and in many posts have had pics of her at events for the sport. Yuuka was at another one on January 26th for the 30th 'Japanese Equestrian Federation Awards' ceremony, she was an ambassador last year for them and received a special award for her hard work.












 Do have quite a bit of so much today. One member who isn't my #1 but is awful close is Nanako and hard to explain why I'm so attracted to her. She is quite funny and charismatic, also such an underrated kawaii gal. She's one of the few members who post a lot of pics on their blog or Instagram site, these are all recent ones and she sure knows how to pick her friends.








 Before I forget here are the four Keya members who will be at the next 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show on March 30th, can't understand why the ex-Hiragana group always have more gals there.






 Rika as usual will be at the show, let's hope she will have a solo stroll on the catwalk as she didn't at the January 12th show. There hasn't been as many mag spreads with her lately but actually could say that about most Keya members. She is an exclusive model for Ray but her spreads for them are way too small. Top two pics are from the February issue, then there's just one for March and the rest are from their site.










 Lot of Keya members are exclusive models for mags or clothing lines, perhaps even more members than Nogi. Akane is one for Anan though she sadly doesn't have many pics at their site, really hoping she'll have the group's seventh PB as she is hotter than hot to me....








 Just those top four pics are from the Anan site. To me more Akane is what this post needs and have such a magnificent spread from the March edition of Bomb.









 Said above that there may not be a massive amount of pics for this post and looks like I was mistaken with that thought. For some odd reason Neru is in the back row for the upcoming "Black Sheep" single, she deserves to be a center but at last she has a solo song on the single. She's also a model for Bis and these are recent pics from their site after a few months of not having any.









 Neru seems to be the perfect choice to end the post off with and she's the cover girl for the February 27th issue of Weekly Shonen. Don't like to post music videos as it seems way too many get deleted. So after these pics have a longish episode of 'Showroom' as many members have been on it recently to promote the single. This show is from February 14th, it features a huge fave that is Nanako who co-hosts it with her close friend Fuykua who was celebrating her 21st birthday.
