Keyakizaka46: A little of this and that....


 Keya is one of the hardest J-Pop groups to post about because they do so little together as a group. Very rarely do you see them together at events these days plus they never seem to have group mag spreads either. There's been plenty of solo posts for the members this year but it's mainly been for just six members, about half of the first generation members you hardly see nowadays though a few of them are big faves of mine. Actually that half do appear more often on the 'Keyakitte' show which does make viewing it bearable, too many second generation members appear on it though.
 Minami was a member who we see so infrequently up until a month ago and she's a top five fave member of mine. She released her first photobook three weeks ago which is why she's suddenly been in the spotlight. The PB has done well as it was #1 on the charts it's first week selling 18,500+ copies. Bit of a drop in it's second week as the total sold was 4,124 but once again it topped the Oricon charts, selling close to 22,000 copies in two weeks seems impressive to me. Minami once again leads off a post as it seems so many fans like her and why not as she's so incredibly kawaii plus has such an underrated figure, two more pics from the PB and the top one is so sweltering....



 Will do another post for Risa soon but her last one has been the most viewed post for the past month for the last ten days, will wait until it drops down a bit. She has so many new pics from the Non-no site and they're truly some of her best ones to date.






 At one time rarely had Mizuho pics in posts but have had more of them the past few months than the previous two years combined. She was in a post two weeks ago that had pics from her appearance at the September 28th 'Girls Award' show. Have some pics from an interview after the show where she discussed the treasury rates and other financial matters with 'TheTV'jp' site.









 Rika is my second fave member but outside of pics from the Ray magazine site we don't see enough of her these days save for her appearances at those huge fashion shows. Can say that about a few other members too and one of the main reasons is that Keya hasn't released a single in close to seven months. The lineup for the next single was announced over a month ago but no details since then.









 The app game 'The Story of Keyakizaka46' or Kiseki as I usually call it has been a popular game that's been out for a few years. I've never played it but would if you could on your home computer.... hmmmm, perhaps you can and let me check on that after this post. Quite often have had cars for the game in solo posts and have a bunch of them today for five members, the cards do help you out in the game. Have checked the rules on playing which sounds complicated but most do at first. There's some videos on YT on how to play though they're all in Japanese but the members do have many promo videos for it, here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXtYzn1BtDE












































 Had thought about doing a solo post for Yui today as she has so many pics but decided against it. Still have that rule about doing posts for Idols under twenty but did do one for a her a few months ago as she appears to be such a likable and down to earth gal. Reason for the post would have been that Yui is turning twenty in exactly one week, her PB had some of the best pics of the year.



 Yui is also an exclusive model for the With Online site, some recent pics from them.









 More Yui to end the post off with and this is one of her best spreads to date, perhaps her top one ever. It's from the November issue of EX-Taishu and she's also their cover girl. Have a very short video after the pics from Yui's appearance at the September 28th 'Girls Award' show.
