Not often where I can have back to back posts with those faves having the same first name. At one time Rika was getting so many solo posts, she had ten by the end of 2017 and was 11th that year on my faves list. But this is only her third solo post in the last two years, she seems to be a busy gal but there don't seem to be a lot of postable activities.
Definitely the quietness of Keya has affected Rika along with most of the members, after having four group posts by the first week in February there's been zero since. But will have a superb solo post coming tomorrow for another Keya fave which most should really enjoy. Still no clue on when the group's next single may be coming out, my prediction had been May but heard some fan rumors we may have to wait until at least Summer and no new single is now beyond being a bad joke.
Rika was the first Keya member to have a photobook and to me she's such an underrated looker. Up until a year ago she was my #1 member and these days would place her about third. Seeing as how the group has so many likable gals that's really an excellent position. Have a little bit of many things and one thing I've sadly noticed is that Rika rarely attends group events these days and wonder why? For years she was one of Keya's faces, is it because she's getting too old as in May she'll be hitting the elderly age of 25. Least some mags realize what a beauty she is as she's an exclusive model for a pair of them such as Larme and these are some recent pics from their site.
The place where you find the most superb Rika pics is the Ray magazine site. Have plenty of new pics from them and could have had twice as many.
May as well get the only new mag spread out of the way which is from the February edition of Ray and she was their cover girl.
Also have the spread for their April issue but will save that in case we can have another solo post for Rika's birthday, if not here's some cards just in case there is no post.
Also have some promo cards for 'Uni's on Air'. It's a web site game that features the members of Keya and Hina, appears to be a bit of a violent game and Tsukiko is her character's name.
For some strange reason these days we rarely see the fabulous duo of 'W-Watanabe' together. That disappoints me as they were my favorite pairing as we always saw them together in mag spreads and at fashion shows plus at group events and such.
A bit of an unknown fact is that Rika's best friend by far in Keya is Nanako and they may be closer than any other members in a J-Pop group. They did have an terrific spread last year for Bomb and I wouldn't mind seeing them in a few more mags or whatever.
Rika is the last member to have pics from February 29th's 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show that was held at the empty Yoyogi National Stadium. For her solo stroll she was representing Ladymade and Ray magazine, for her pair's stroll she was promoting Keya's new Aeon credit card. Of course with her was Yui who has become my top Keya member and she's the gal that will have a post tomorrow. No video from the show plus there's such a shortage of recent solo or group ones. There's so many Keya videos on YT but in all honesty the vast majority are so-so so will skip having one.
