Keyakizaka46: The merveilleux 'Yuuka Sugai post' #8....


 Hmmmm, seems we can't accuse her of having a dirty mouth, gulp(a few times).....

 It's been 49 weeks since Keya has released any new music and was talking about that subject in their last post which I think was a solo one too. That number will probably increase to sixty weeks which is when I expect their next single to come out. That is just way too long of a gap between songs and it's hard to believer they couldn't have released something during that period. Know they've probably lost some fans and it's no fault of the members, wouldn't be surprised if the next single will sell 20% or less than their previous one even if it's a top notch tune though hope the drop isn't that huge.
 Unsure if this will be a big post or not but actually could have had done two other solo posts for Yuuka the past few months. Had noticed that she often has 15-20 solo pics in the group posts and thought why wasn't I saving them for a post like this? No clue why I haven't but will be in the future so expect a few more posts like this and actually have been doing many solo Keya posts lately.
 This long gap between singles has hurt many members of the group as five have departed since July. But on the other hand it's helped out four member's solo careers such as Yuuka's as she's been quite a busy gal this past year. She turned 24 back in November and luckily have heard zero rumors about her graduating. So it probably wouldn't happen for a few years and wish more Idols would continue their careers until they're 28 or so as how many times does being a star happen in life?





 Those pics are from her tremendous photobook that came out in June 2018. To date seven members of Keya have had a PB but really can't see any of the first generation members who haven't had one in line to have a book. Not that I don't like any of them as a few are big faves but none are popular or glamorous enough so guess it's time for some members to have a second photobook.
 As a few know am watching Nogi's current drama plus will be starting on Hina's current series "DASADA" soon which is being subbed. Wonder why Keya hasn't had a show for so long, least it would keep them in the spotlight a bit as their sister group Hina may be more popular these days. Wouldn't mind seeing Yuuka in a regular drama as she's only appeared in the pair of Keya ones. But she has been in many stage plays and usually has a major role in them. For Yuuka's new play she actually has the lead role of Michiko in 'Hiryuden 2020' which appears to be an action packed play. In some of the group posts have had some interview and event pics but there was another event held on January 29th at the National Theater in Tokyo, the play opened the following day.

















 Keya's group blog is called 'Diary', some of the members are horrendous at posting solo pics and sadly Yuuka is one of them which is odd as she is the group's captain. But she always has pics from her 'Recon' radio show that airs Monday nights. These are some from the past few weeks and in April she'll be celebrating her third anniversary as a co-host, Nogi has a 'Recon' show on Wednesdays.











 Need to do a bit more investigating about a new smartphone game featuring all '46' groups together, will have some info in Keya's next post. These are some cards for the game and quite a few members have some, you'll notice the name is of her game's character.








 Here's some older pics from 2017 and the Hustle Press site if you want to compare them to how she looks these days. To me Yuuka hasn't changed that much in the past 2 1/2 years and would think it's because she's older, most Idols start when they're teens but she was almost twenty when Keya started.






 Few new New Year's pics from the 'Uni on Air' site. Those are the first four while the others are promo ones from late last year and the group has done a few CM's for the company.











 Have a pair of spreads to end off with. This first one was in a group post three months ago but in case you missed it Yuuka was the cover girl for the November 27th issue of Weekly Shonen.











 Bet Yuuka has been the cover girl for Weekly Shonen at least ten times and why not as she has one of the most attractive faces of any current Idol plus is such a likable gal. She has that honor once again for their brand new edition which is dated for February 12th. After the terrific pics have a video from Aeon which I had never viewed before. It's not subbed but it's easy enough to follow, at 4+ minutes it's actually a short film which also stars Keya's assistant captain and came out last July.
