Keyakizaka46: The massive 'A little bit of this and that for 2019' #4....



 Not that I mind doing a group post but had my heart set on doing a solo one for Yuuka tonight. As you can see that didn't happen though do have enough new pics for one, she has a new mag spread coming out any day now so once that comes out will do that post and let's hope it's tomorrow.
 This is Keya's 200th post but first group one since March 3rd. Of course there's been no shortage of posts as Risa has had eleven of them this year plus Akane has had two this month. Except for them though there's been very little to post about most members and it's still the case as I've let many of these pics accumulate for a post like this one. Seems as though their sister group Hinatazaka46 has eclipsed them popularity wise and they have their second single coming out very soon. Don't know why there haven't been more posts for them as I do like the members quite a bit, now that they're in my mind expect one shortly.



 Did do a Yui post about a month ago, last year she appeared in more mags than any other member but hasn't been in one since February and wonder what's up with that? Had a post yesterday for Akane and can't believe how many views it's already received, that's good as she is such an attractive woman. The post was for her first PB and let's hope it garners solid sales, it was released two days ago. Forgot to have these pics which were from an interview for the book with Oricon.









 Even more pics of Akane promoting the book, these are from the 'Girls Locks!' radio show.








 The member who I really, really like is Nanako and there may be less to post about her than anyone else. She hasn't been in a mag spread since January plus there hasn't been a Keya group event for about four months, she's not an exclusive model for any company so we never see her at those huge fashion shows. But do have the paltry total of four new cards for the 'Keyakise' mobile game.





 To me she's usually the best part of the 'Keyakitte' shows which I haven't watched for a while. But do have about five shows backlogged to view so you may see a few recaps of them in the future. Akane's post yesterday was rather large so it's a mystery how I forgot to include so many pics. Have even more here promoting the photobook from last week's 'Recon' show that airs on Tuesdays, a Nogi member hosts it on Wednesday and with her is her best Keya mate.









 Let's get on to a pair of mag spreads and what I've noticed this year is how few of them are of the group, seems 95% are solo sets. That's okay as most spreads have been super duper but sometimes group sets are the only time you get to see some of the less popular members. The other Rika is one who we don't see too often and especially in mag spreads. But Rika does have this first set which is from the July issue of Entame, she too is one of the highlights of the 'Keyakitte' show.







 Mizuho is a member that does appear in many mags though holding back one. It's with Yuuka and will have the set in her solo post which I really hope happens over the weekend. She's the cover girl for volume 44 of BLT Graph, at 171 cm she's the tallest '46' member which includes Nogi.















 Final couple items will be with my second fave member who is Keya's other Rika. She really is such a huge fave of mine and two years ago finished 11th on my top twenty list which will be revived this year. She's another one who hasn't been appearing in many mags, what a shame as they're usually so terrific. But she is an exclusive model for Ray and has so many fabulous pics at their site. Have a bunch for today and there's so many actually could have had many more.

















 That reminds me, we haven't seen a 'W-Watanabe' spread in over a year plus the duo haven't appeared on stage at any recent fashion shows. Speaking of them Rika always makes an appearance at shows and does look superb but wish she didn't dress so conservatively. This final set of pics are from the May 18th 'Girls Award' show and there are a pair of TGC shows scheduled for the end of July which I think she'll be at. Oooops, wait there are a few more pics of her as following the first eleven from the GA show are a bunch from the March 30th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show.
 After the pics have a pair of newish CM's for Aeon. The videos were released about two months ago and there's about forty of them at the Aeon YT site but didn't have a chance to post many as this si the first group post in close to four months.
