Keyakizaka46: The Queenly 'Yuuka Sugai post' #7....
Shocked that this is her seventh post, that's an okay total for a Keya member but it's been ten months since her last solo one. Doing all of these posts you naturally tend to notice things, I certainly do and even though most are unimportant to many viewers do like to bring them up on occasion. What I've noticed is that '48' group members do gravure spreads all year long, doesn't matter if they have a photobook coming out and those spreads are usually superb.
But '46' group members only have gravure sets when a photobook is about to come out, perhaps that's why book sales are so high as there's so few hotter than hot pics out there. Except for one graduated member no Nogi member has done a gravure spread since February but that's kind of a new trend for them as years ago the members did dress so much more skimpier in their spreads.
On the other hand Keya has to be one of the more conservative J-Pop groups around as they rarely have had any gravure spreads save to promote their books. That's the case for Yuuka as she had a few fabulous spreads for her 'Finace" PB that came out in June 2018 and since then zero alluring sets. That's not a bad thing though in my eyes as someone like Yuuka is such an attractive woman and she doesn't need to dress half nude to look tremendous but do admit her PB pics were eye opening.
There hasn't been a Keya group post in five months, what a quiet stretch it has been for them. Not for the members as there's a core of them who are always busy but there's been very few group activities this year and only one single which may have been their worst to date. But tomorrow a DVD documentary of their 2018 Summer tour is coming out so there may be an event for that. If so do have a few mag spreads so perhaps can finally have a group post.
Have been wanting to do this post for well over a month but though busy there haven't been any solo Yuuka mag spreads save for one which I can't find. But do have many pics and in all honesty could probably have done this post a few weeks ago as it may be a large one. Have a little of a lot of things fro today including these somewhat newish 'Keyakise' cards which is for a Smartphone game.
Keya's group blog is called 'Diary', like Nogi some members post a lot of pics while others do a less than stellar job, would put Yuuka in the middle of those two groups.
Do like that bottom one. Few recent pics from the 'Recon' radio show, she's a co-host of it and her night is Mondays as a few other Keya and Nogi members are also hosts.
As most fans know Yuuka is quite a talented equestrian and has been an ambassador the past two years for the National Equestrian Association. On June 27th she gave a presentation on the fine art of horse riding and the sport in general, she does seem like a leader type of person which is why she's Keya's captain. The event took place at the Sport Olympic Square in Tokyo, she's also a fluent speaker in French and can seemingly do everything. Also at the event she was chosen to be an ambassador for a third year.
As mentioned no recent solo mag spreads but do have one with another mate and the pair seem to be quite good friends. In that upcoming group post may have another mag spread that's also a pairs one and this set is from the June 26th issue of Weekly Shonen.
Brand new promo pics from the Aeon site as on....
.... July 2nd five members were at an event promoting a new Keya card for the company. They've done many CM's for them and if I can't find a good video will have her new CM at the bottom.
Have only done any pairs posts for the duo of 'W-Watanabe' but promise to have a different pair coming up soon. That will include assistant captain Akane who I really like so much and she may have another solo post coming up soon. Can't believe there's never been a post for this super duper pair and they're also the cover girls for the upcoming issue of Bomb. They have so many pics together so that's on my 'need to do right away' list or as soon as the mag comes out.
Oooops, before I forget have another mini mag spread which is with a new second generation member and is from the September issue of BLT.
Back to some pairs and there are also many pics of this next member. Should say ex-member as Neru left Keya last month but hadn't done any activities with them for a few months. To me she got a raw deal with Keya's management as she may have been the most popular gal in the group and should have been a center, least the duo look terrific together.
Of course that last pic is a trio and think a requirement for Keya posts is to be paired up with Risa, started that with the previous solo post.
That bottom pic is quite old. Will end off with this oldie spread as the the pair were the cover girls for the July 17, 2017 edition of Young Magazine. There's a huge 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show coming up on September 7th, there will be a few other Autumn shows. Many Keya members will be there but not Yuuka who I can't recall ever appearing at one. You have to be a model for some mag or site and it's hard to believe with Yuuka's attractive looks she's not a model for anyone. After the pics do have a video from Aeon but it's not one of her new CM's. Instead it's a short movie with two other members, it's subbed and would recommend viewing it as it's only 4+ minutes.
