Kind of odd that's there's already been four of these posts for this year along with three solo posts for members because we've almost hit the one year anniversary mark of when Keya last released any new music. Bet it's going to be at least two more months until their next single is released and wonder if everyone is forgetting that they're a musical group? Sure they've retained quite a few fans but also with this long break have lost quite a few who grew tired of so few group activities. If their management was smart they'd start doing a few things to put them back in the spotlight such as having another group drama which I would love to see or perhaps another season of 'BINGO' which were better than Nogi's.
Was going to have a special post on Friday for Valentine's Day but seeing as I once again fell ill for a few days don't think I'll have it a VD post and will be leaving most of those pics out. But there's still plenty of fine new pics for their remaining fans to enjoy such as these at the top of Akane. She could be Keya's most seductive member but she's someone we haven't see enough of the past few months. This long break of not having new music or doing many group activities helped about four member's popularity, sadly Akane doesn't seem to be one of them.
Back in September the announcement was made of what the Senbatsu lineup would be for the group's ninth single. Seems they'll have to do another show as that lineup has self destructed along with many of the B-side songs. But to me that's a blessing as we'll finally get a center who deserves the honor more and I have a feeling the group could be better than ever, that is if we ever get to hear new songs from them.
Had this post ready to go Thursday night but there's been zero new things to add in since then. However on February 29th the next 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show will be held and there's going to be four members in attendance, should be a post or two for that. Still miss Neru who has been gone for over eight months now and a big reason for her departure was because the of eternal center's whims. Shame she couldn't have stuck it out a bit longer as she would have made one super duper center, have a few oldie Keya cards of her which had never been posted before.
It probably won't affect the groups for a while but the three '46' units have all gotten new members. There were three added to Hina, four to Nogi and a whopping six to Keya. The gals had originally auditioned in 2018 but didn't make the final cut for any of the groups. But they were so close or guess talented enough that they became a 'training group' of their own under the 'Saka Tree' which is the management that oversees all three groups.
That's Keya captain Yuuka above with the new gals, not many new pics for her today but she just did have a solo post two weeks ago. Do have a few pics from the past two weeks from her 'Recon' radio show that airs on Monday nights.
Yuuka also has the starring role in the stage play "Hiryuden 2020" that ran from January 30th to February 12th in Tokyo. On the 21st it'll be starting up in Osaka and at one of the Tokyo shows guess who paid her a visit backstage? One of my all time mega faves and it's the first time I've seen Maimi in a pic with a '46' member and hope it's not the last.
Rika usually has pics in these group posts though it seems almost all of the them are modeling pics from the Ray site. More Ray pics for today but not from their site but instead their February issue, think it's her second time being the cover girl for the mag.
Another spread featuring a trio that all should know by now from the February issue of BLT.
There's been quite a few promo pics from 'Uni's on Air' recently, they're a gaming site that features members of Keya and Hina. Have many new pics today which have just come out and as you can see in the top pic is Shiho who unfortunately is now on hiatus. That's what she announced on her blog but sadly have that feeling it'll turn into a departure.
After this final batch of pics have the episode of 'Showroom' that aired last night where the three team captains introduce the new members to the group. Right above is Nanako who is one of my bigger faves in Keya but rarely has many pics to include in these posts. She was demoted from the Senbatsu lineup for the upcoming single so seeing as how they have to create a new lineup think she has a strong chance on getting her position back. Nanako will end things off with a rarity which is a solo mag spread and a really superb set of pics they are from volume 52 of BLT Graph. Bottom seven are bonus pics from the photo shoot.
