Keyakizaka46: 2018 Magazine scans #2


 Shame there's no good versions on YT but I do have a pair of videos for "Wareta Smartphone" which was off Keya's fourth single "Fukyouwaon". Bring that up as I'd have that as my #1 J-Pop tune of the year, it was done by the subgroup Aozora no MARRY who deserve their own single. "Fukyouwaon" is also an A+ tune, overall thought the tunes off "Silent Majority" were slightly better but not by much. Keya will be performing for the second year in a row on the NHK 'Kohaku' New Year's Eve show and will be singing the first single mentioned.





 Those pics are from a press conference held on the 21st for the show. Quickly on to the spreads and have no idea why there's been such a huge amount of them lately but sure no Keya fans are complaining. First of are more from a special Flash edition titled 'Best of Winter' 2017. It features Risa who looks so darn good in the second of three pics for her, following her are some members from Hiragana and Kyoko continues to make the temperature rise during this frigid cold spell. Their "Re:Mind" drama has it's final episode this Thursday.











 There's nine members who have just turned twenty or will in the first few months of 2018. Sure all nine will be appearing at a ceremony during January, wonder if it'll be at the Nogi Shrine? These are all of the ones who have or are about to hit that elderly age and this set is from the February BLT though I think Nanako should have had her ceremony last year.










 That means I can do a top ten list next year for the group as the list would just consist of those at or over twenty and think that brings the total amount eligible to twenty. Speaking of that number today is December 26th and Sarina has just hit that magical age, can't ever recall seeing her in a solo spread.





 Just half page spreads for twelve members except for the top one of Rika, these are from Young Magazine #4 for 2018.







 Team Captain Yuuka looks quite oki doki in the new issue of Haaaaan(?).














 So many spreads may have another post before the year is out. Two sets in this final spread which is from the February edition of Brody, first is the trio of Fukuya, Risa and Neru who will have two solo posts coming up this week.






 Also from Brody is this massive spread of twenty which features W-Yui, though their first names are the same they're spelled differently.
