Keyakizaka46: The quintessential 'Risa Watanabe post' #8....
The other half of 'W-Watanabe' has had the most viewed post of the month for the past week. Let's see if her partner can join her at the top as she certainly deserves it yet for some reason she's not nearly as popular as some Keya members here. Of course I'm talking about Risa who the past few months I've been so ga-ga over, she's coming very close to being my current top Idol.
That first 'Nogi/Keya Fave Members' list will be starting in January, really have no clue where any gal will end up. Think the list will have sixteen members between the two groups though could increase it to twenty. Do know that Risa will be in my top five, don't think she'll hit the top spot but wouldn't rule that out either. She is just so demurely hot and cool, still think she looks so much like a young Yuki Uchida and that's a fine way to look as she finished fifth on my all time list.
This is going to be one of the biggest posts of the year as there must be well over a hundred pics and think all of them are brand new. A Hiragana member is the next gal to have a photobook and there's nothing wrong with that though wish they had chosen a different Hiragana member. Who the next Kanji member to have a PB is anyone's guess but Risa would certainly be my top choice, bet if she did have a book she'd zoom right to the top of my faves list. Though sizzling hot she is also quite conservative and has yet to have any pic remotely close to being a gravure one.
That bottom pic could be Risa's best to date and hope there's plenty more like that coming up as it may assure me of another sleepless night. She's going to be the cover girl and have the main feature for the next BLT special issue 'White graph', think her spread may be a whopping 28 pages.
That video at the top is a Lotte CM that came out in September featuring five members. The CM won a special award at this year's 'Shogakukan Dime Trend Grand Prize' awards show, the prize was for the 'Best Character'. On November 14th the awards show was held and Risa accepted the award on behalf of Keya. Some pics from the show are here along with a few from the CM.
One thing I don't post enough of are Keya cards and should do a few posts for them as I do have quite a few. Hope you enjoy them as there's over twenty of them today from the past few months, could have had more but saving some things for another solo post or for when she makes that upcoming faves list.
The Keya Kanji group had 21 members for so long but that number will soon be eighteen as the first wave of graduations has hit the group. Don't think we have to worry about Risa leaving for a while but her best mate in the group has departed and she's someone I also liked immensely.
The past two months Risa and a pair of Keya members have subbed for someone who keeps skipping out on the 'Girls Locks!' radio show. First set of pics are from October when the trio hosted the entire week, second batch is from last week when the three gals just were on two shows.
No new pics from this pair lately which is such a shame....
Most of those pics are from the Non-no site and Risa has been an exclusive model for them since April 2017. She doesn't appear too often in their monthly mags though did have a huge spread with the above mystery gal in the March and June editions. However at the Non-no site there's such a massive collection of new pics and some of these are utterly fabulous.
This is easily Risa's largest post to date but as mentioned am holding on to a few things as I hate going so long between her posts. Have two things to end off with and both are from EX-Taishu, this first set are new interview pics which you can find at their site which is a fairly good one.
Final set of unbeatable pics today are from EX-Taishu's December issue and Risa for the second time has graced their cover. After the pics have a video from the Spring 'Tokyo Girls Collection' fashion show, surprised it's still on YT and the second half of the eighty second video is simply a must watch!!!!
