Last group post said I would try to find out what's been going on with Neru who left Keya at the end of July. Sadly my findings are that Neru has been doing.... nothing!? Perhaps not nothing but she's done zero in the entertainment field and wonder if she's retired at the young age of 21? Really hope not as Neru was one of my top five members as she's such a cutie plus she was one of Keya's better singers. She was very popular and has the third best selling Idol photobook of all time with sales around 200,000 copies sold. Will keep my eyes open for any news about Neru but no fan has heard any news about her since she left the group, her blog was closed on August 31st.
Sure most fans have heard but if you haven't Keya's ninth single was once again delayed. The Senbatsu lineup was created in July and announced in September which had most fans thinking the single would be coming out in October or November. Obviously that didn't happen and a single coming out in November is such a wise decision as not many groups release one then.
Most rumors are that the songs just weren't too good and perhaps whatever they recorded was scrapped. It's not the members fault and you have to feel for them a bit as they take most of the blame though it's not them writing the tunes. So that means the ninth single may not be coming out until February or March and the competition will be much stiffer then. Wouldn't doubt if Nogi releases a single next March plus SKE, Morning Musume, probably AKB and a few other popular groups will also have singles in the first three months of 2020.
Doesn't too any good complaining about things so I won't, least the members are much busier than they were as this is at least the fourth group post since the beginning of October. Have a nice potpourri of things which will end off with that huge spread. Sadly once again Rika doesn't have a solo mag spread and it's been since April or so since she's had one. But least she always has plenty of new pics from the Ray site.
There will be a huge spread in the next issue of UTB+ that will have solo spreads. Rika O. and Mizuho will be two of the members and here ares some pics from their photo shoot.
If you've been following the top twenty countdown will be starting on the top five later on tonight. Risa is in a battle for the top spot and can honestly say I really don't know at this point who will be #1. Kind of like her better but then again her rival also deserves the honor. These pics are from the December BLT Graph and will have the whole set in her next post which will be for either number one or two, that should be in about ten days.
On December 9th Risa was on a special show titled 'Gift' where a guest picks out a X-Mas gift for a close person, will have more screenshots in her next post.
Above will probably always be my #1 Keya member but someone new has moved up into the second spot. That's Yui and I really can't get enough of her lately and deserves so many more solo posts. Will be having a few of them starting in January, one will be for her 'coming of age' ceremony and these are new cards for it.
May have another Yui post for her appearance at the January 11th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show, so far just two Keya members are scheduled for it.
Think I do have one new Yui spread but will save that for her upcoming solo post(s), next year wouldn't be surprised if she finishes in the top ten on my yearly list. This week she was a co-host of the 'School of Lock!' radio show along with Hono whose b-day is two days before Yui's.
One last batch of pics for Yui which are from the With Online site. May have seemed like a lot of pics but just not quite enough for a solo post.
A member we rarely see these days is Miyu and at one time she was quite popular. She went out on a medial leave in 2018 and wonder if she's not on another leave as she hasn't done anything for months and that includes any blog entries. But do have one spread for her which is from the same BLT Graph issue mentioned above.
Have one other spread but will hold on to it for now as this post is plenty big enough. Will end off with this very large set which is from the December 11th issue of Anan, there's 35 pics in the regular spread and the bottom two are bonus ones. Seems almost all of the members were featured so not going to say who was in the mag.
