Keyakizaka46: 2018 Magazine scans #6(!) and more....



 Ever notice how one person in a group photo always has their eyes closed? The honor if you want to call it that goes to Nijika in that pic from the Kowa site where there was also a brief video of them wishing everyone a Happy New Year. Ten days into this year and Keya is blowing away Nogi in the mag spread department as this is already six of them, at this pace we'll end up with 220 of these posts for the year and bet no fan is complaining.


 All eyes are open in that pic but do you notice how the members are in the same order as the first pic? There is one additional member to that second pic, wonder why she didn't appear int he first? The group will be performing three concerts at Budokan starting on January 30th, Hiragana has a solo show on that date followed by two performances from Kanji. Hopefully there's no injuries in any of those shows as there were three of them at their December 31st 'Kohaku' appearance. Yurina is the one who almost passed out while they were performing "Fukyouwaon", have noticed she gets a bit too hyper when the group is in concert or on TV and she really needs to pace herself better.


 Another thing I've noticed is that we don't see as much of Yurina these days and especially in mags, wise decision to let the other members have a turn in the spotlight. Actually have seen only one solo spread from her the past two months but she still hosts the third week of the 'Girls Locks!' radio show each month, these pics are from December.











 Week two sales for Neru's first PB was 18,300 copies sold bringing the total to an astounding 116,000 and odds are she'll have the best selling book of the year. Let's not forget Rika whose first photobook has also been an impressive seller, in it's fourth week out it was the fifth best seller. Sales were 3,100 copies sold and to date as sold a little over 51,000.





 Neither has any spreads for today but do have some ultra oki doki sets coming up. Yesterday's post had sets from the new issue of 20+ Sweet featuring the Hiragana members, today have a pair from the same mag for the Kanji gals. First off is Nanako who is one of my top five members, doubt if it'll ever happen but wouldn't mind seeing her have a PB.










 Second set fom 20+ Sweet belongs to Miyu who is one of two members to hail from Aichi, they both had the unfortunate incidents at the 'Kohaku' show and it must be in the apples....










 Oooops, spoke too quickly above as Neru does appear in a spread and it's with Keya's captain Yuuka, this set is from the January 22nd issue of Weekly Shonen.








 Saved the best for last and who would have thought two months ago that the member to have the most solo spreads since November would be Kyoko? Bet no fan did and this has to be at least her fifth solo one the past two months and every one has been stupendous. This new one from the February edition of Bomb is her best one to date, she's knocking on the door to become my fave Keya member....

  2. They hide their wonderful figures under those military dresses !
    I already knew Hirate does, but I did not realise Kyoko had such a great figure.
    Go, girls!
