What another slow year for SKE, they've released just one single this year and haven't heard any news if there will be one in the next two months. Least the "Frustration" single that came out in July has been a solid seller and it's their second biggest seller in the last four years. However frustration is what us fans are going through, have had some solo posts for a few members this year but this is just the fourth group post for 2019.
Leading off is Akane once again and unfortunately it's because of some sad news. She announced her graduation last week and to be honest it was to be expected, wouldn't be surprised if a few other older members make that announcement in the next year. She will be turning 28 in November and has been an SKE member for over ten years which is a long time to be in an Idol group, the graduation won't be taking place until next March.
A member who has graduated is Ryoha, didn't know it until a few minutes ago but today is her 21st birthday! Seems like she was older than that and her departure from SKE took place on September 21st at the SKE Theater in Nagoya, she was one of their more popular members. Bottom eight pics are from her final show.
A member you have to wonder about her graduating is Jurina who is once again on a hiatus, her third one in three years I think. She did release a mini album two weeks ago which sold well to start off with but she's not promoting it with concerts or TV appearances. Two years ago thought Jurina was on track to eventually become my #1 Idol of all time, perhaps even my number one woman ever. With the way things have gone these last few years that's now an extreme long shot, her breaks have been because of exhaustion or at least the first two were. Can't understand that for she's no busier these days than any other Idol but do admit I miss posting about her so badly.
On to the mag spread which total five, last post was two months ago so that's not too many but the spreads are all quite good. Most are rather large too save for this first set which is a group one from the September 17th issue of SPA!. Nao has two solo pages and she's a member I like immensely, no other pics for her today though she did have two solo spreads in the last group post.
SKE is one of the older groups and has so many members that are 22+ in age who you don't know too well. One of them is Kaho who will be turning 23 next May, can't recall seeing her have a solo set before but she looks oki doki in the September issue of Entame.
Another Entame spread which is from their October edition. It'll probably be Ryoha's last set with the group and she's joined by Yuna who has really become popular these days and wouldn't be surprised if she becomes SKE's next big star.
Reona is another member who I rarely recall posting about, smart for the group to start promoting some of their younger members with perhaps many graduations impending. Wouldn't call her too young as she'll be turning 21 in December and this set is from the October 15th issue of Flash.
A member who I kept clamoring for to have another solo spread is....
.... Ruka Kitano! To me she is just one incredibly hot gal and her spreads are second to none though she hadn't had one for a while. But can't say that now as she'll end off the post with today's top spread which is from the October issue of EX-Taishu, bottom five pics are from the photo shoot and does she look magnificent or what?! Seeing as how I also like Akane quite a bit too and she wasn't in any of the spreads have a superb video after the pics which is for the making of her "Churi" PB.
