Keyakizaka46: The paradisiacal 'Risa Watanabe post' #20!!!!
As you've noticed the Risa posts have slowed down quite a bit which was to be expected, this is her first one in a month. But if there's one a month for the rest of the year that'll satisfy me and her growing army of fans, very few Idols these days have average a solo post a month yet this is her tenth one since January.
Risa's first photobook "Mukuchi" has been a solid seller but to me the sales are a bit disappointing. In it's first two weeks the total copies sold were 84,000+ but after nine weeks the total is just a tad less than 98,000. I figured by now the total would have been around 125 K, nearing 100,000 is certainly an achievement but thought it would have been better. Perhaps Keya these days is a reason as they've been so quiet as a group the past 3+ months, think many fans are souring on them as their last single was just so-so and many(like me) are so tired of their permanent center.
Know that very top pic hasn't been posted before and don't think the other one was either. Both are outtake pics from the photobook but now that the PB is out there's been no more new pics added to it's Twitter account. Hopefully by now Risa has many fans who don't need to view just gravure pics of her, I'm definitely one and was so shocked at some of the book's pics. Have about fifty new ones for today plus a few oldies, all of them are superb though not like the above ones or these from the PB as I know there's not a viewer who can tired of looking at these. The top two are also ones that had never been posted before, how can something so terrific be considered outtakes?
Risa's birthday is coming up on July 27th, two other faves of mine celebrate turning a day older then but neither can top today's celebrant. On that day is a Summer 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show that will be held in Toyama but didn't see her name on the roster of gals attending. Hopefully that's an oversight on my part as very few models can top how Risa looks at those huge fashion shows plus being her birthday you'd think it's be a great chance for a massive party. Fabulous pics here are from a few shows from the past two years, bet she's been at ten or more of them.
If there's a long gap between posts may group all of Risa's cards together and have a post or two for them. These here are all brand new and are for the Keyakise smartphone game.
Besides appearing at the TGC shows and two events for photobooks can't think of the last time the members of Keya attended some sort of event. Seems like they used to be at one a month but like Nogi for some reason haven't appeared at one in over three months. Was going to include an older set of event pics but changed my mind as there's already over seventy pics for today and just in case I'm lacking in pics for the next post will save them for then. Every Risa post this year and even last year has included pics from Non-no and think that'll continue until the end of these posts. Risa did have the cover of their April issue but usually her spreads are too small. But she always has many pics at their site and these are all brand new for here. Second pic gets an A++++ from me.
In about a week will be having a special post for the most viewed posts for the first half of 2019. It'll be covering the period from December 1st until May 31st, figure any recent posts haven't had enough time to accumulate enough views. Will have another post towards the end of the year for the second half which will cover the posts from June 1st on.
Risa's last post which was her 19th solo one just may take the top spot for the first half. That was the #1 viewed post for so long though now it's starting to slide down. Another post she had which was #17 could make the list too. On to today's final batch of pics and they're naturally ultra superb. Even though the PB came put over two months ago Risa's popularity is still way up there as she graces another magazine cover which is for the July 3rd edition of Weekly Shonen.
