Keyakizaka46: A little of this and that for 2018 #1....
Been doing it somewhat but not entirely. That's keeping the Hiragana and Kanji posts separate, you could almost consider them two groups as there's no activities between the two and have a sad feeling we may never see a Hiragana member promoted except in the case of a graduation. Above is a new CM for Docomo that's a tie-in with the new single, also have four of the covers.
With single #6 coming out in ten days figured there would be an avalanche of mag spreads, events and other activities for the single. As is my norm was wrong with that thought and this is the first Keya post in a few weeks as there's been so little going on with them. Perhaps starting this week they'll amp up the the promoting, official release date for "Glass wo Ware!" is March 7th though I already like "Bathroom Travel" a bit more.
My massive complaint is that Aozora to Marry doesn't have a tune on the single, need to dash to the store soon to purchase more tissues. 😭 Total of 22 members are on the single, here's ten promo pics for it and will have the others in the group's next post.
That Risa is looking more than oki-doki, soon as she has a solo spread or two will do a post for her. As far as spreads go there's just one for today(!), there were seven posts for 2018 mag spreads before February began and for some strange reason they ceased when they should have increased. Rika shares some of the pics in the only spread which is from the April issue of Ray. If you're going to share a set of pics who better to have with you than Mai!!!! Nogi too has been too quiet recently and for Mai she announced she's graduating in May!!!! Er, that's from Ray magazine as May will be the last edition she appears in.
Least there's been many new pics form the Hustle Press site and there usually is as Keya has more features at their website than any other J-Pop group. There's three sets for February and first off is the other group's Rika who I never thought was that attractive though she looks quite good in these pics.
Subtitle for the above and this set of pics is 'Haaaan Zero'. Risa's feature was just way too small and to me she be the hottest current member of Keya though her W-Watanabe partner is still my #1.
Final set of pics from HP features Yui K., don't know why it's titled 'U-18' as she turned eighteen last October. On the new single she once again teams up with the other Yui as the Yui-chans have a tune titled "Zenmai Shikake no Yume".
Neru's first photobook which was released back in December continues to sell solidly as it's been in Oricon's top three for best selling books since it came out. Total sales to date have been 154,000 copies sold which has to be in the top five of all time, the 200 K mark should be hit soon.
Neru hails from Nagasaki and on the 24th she was at the city's 'Lantern Festival'. She was their Empress for the Emperor parade and she could be my Empress any day of the week.... 😰 At the festival it was also announced that she's now a special ambassador for their tourism department.
Too bad you have to be a eunuch, wave goodbye to your pecans.
