Keyakizaka46: A little bit of this and that for 2019 #3....



 Above is a new CM for Aeon and a Keya card they have, more info at the bottom of the post. Last Keya group post had that top Yui pic to lead off and it proved to be one of their most viewed posts to date so thought why not have it again! The other pic is new too and both are from her first PB that's coming out on March 13th, very shocked we haven't see her in any recent mag spreads. Have none with her for today though do have some more promo pics for the PB and how about that top one!!!!








 Of course those bottom two pics aren't from the book but also feature her with Risa who has her own PB coming out on April 10th. Seeing as how it's four weeks later the two books shouldn't be in competition, any guesses on which PB will sell better? Hope to have yet another Risa solo post this week and her last one has easily been her most popular one to date. Have a pair of new mag spreads for that post along with many more advance pics from her photobook. Will also have news about an event which are the final two pics, it was for a group radio show.






 Of course Keya's eighth single "Kuroi Hitsuji" will top the Oricon charts in it's first week out. After five days sales are 731,000 copies sold and it's going to be tough topping their previous single which sold 811,000+ in it's first week. Perhaps many J-Pop fans are getting tired of seeing the group have the same center over and over. I was tired of that(her) many singles ago but the B-sides have always been good plus Neru does have a solo song on the new single. Here are some behind the scenes pics from the making of the PV.













 So far it seems there's been many less mag spreads this year compared to 2018, thought there would be more with the new single and two photobooks. Just one for today though it is a very large one from the March 13th issue of Weekly Shonen. It features Keya's captain Yuuka along with her assistant Akane and would love to see her have a PB.


















 If there was to be a 'Fave Keya Member' list just may have Nanako in the fifth spot, there's something about her which attracts me like a magnet. On February 23rd she and Nana were at the premiere of a short film titled "Futari no Ichi", it took place at the Eurospace in Shibuya. Heard zero about the film until that date, guess if you're not a popular member you don't get as much publicity. Both gals have huge roles in the film and actually think Nana has the lead part as she's on the poster, Nanako certainly was a bit choked up at the event as you can see. Don't know which cinemas but it is being shown at many in and around Tokyo.























 On to that Aeon news and on February 24th a trio of gals were at an event for it. It's a new Keya card for the company called 'U-25 New Life' and it's a campaign geared to people under 25 which definitely means most Keya fans. There were a few CM's for the campaign and as noted at the top is one of them, hope by now I don't need to tell you the names of the members in attendance as these three appear at most Keya events. Top six are promo pics along with some screenshots from the CM, following them is a massive amount of pics from the event. As usual no video of it so after the pics are a few members from the February 27th 'Showroom' promoting the new single.
