Not much time tonight after writing four drama recaps up so will continue this thought in another Keya or Nogi group post. But was wondering if their salaries have really been affected or will be with this massive standstill in activities? Know Idols receive a basic salary however most of their income is made from outside activities such as events, mag spreads, dramas and other things. But those activities have for the most part ceased and that'll be the case for a few more months.
Plus their groups can't appear in concerts, on music shows and such. Idol variety shows have also not been filming so management doesn't have nearly as much income coming in, wonder if some Idols may be 'furloughed' or whatever in the future which is definitely unknown territory. Perhaps many will also be graduating from their groups but then again there's no other entertainment fields to enter. Must be especially hard for Keya members as they haven't had a new single for almost fifteen months plus haven't been on tour for a while so members couldn't sock away as much cash. Just a few thoughts, perhaps I'm wrong on everything but was just curious what they're going through.
This is a group post but just about everything are solo pics. Keya is down to twelve of their original 22 members, hope we don't see anyone else leave over the next few months due to the standstill. Least individual members have kept busy as there's been more solo posts than ever the past few months, there's about five who do many things outside of the group. Hope to have a post a week from now for Rika who for so long was my number one member, would have her third on my current list and the reason for that upcoming post is that she'll be turning 25 next Sunday.
Had three new mag spreads that total about 35 pics so thought why not have a post even though there's been no other other group activities. In all of those recent solo posts have been including cards for the group's 'Keyakise' mobile game and why not have some for those gals who rarely have solo posts. Have two members today and leading off these sets is Minami, she's at the top of this post and how I wish she had so many more solo posts as her kawaiiness level is off the charts. The other member featured today is the second generation gal Hono, have been seeing much more of her in mags lately and I really do like her, she'll be turning 22 later on this year.
Had forgotten all about but there was an event back in October 2017 to introduce the game. It's an app which is sort of a puzzle game, there's a story involving all of the members and you need to solve the riddles/puzzles/questions to move on to the next stage. I've never played the game and would have done so if it was available for your computers, too many interesting games these days are geared for phones and I'm really not into those kinds of games. Perhaps I'm mistaken about it being available for your computers, let me know if it's possible and here are some fine pics from the event. Do miss Neru so much, she appeared on some recent drama which I do have and it's subbed but haven't watched it yet, she also may have my fave Idol photobook.
No other group activities so let's move on to the trio of mag spreads. In Risa's last post had her spread for the June edition of Entame, she was their cover girl and have some of that spread today. Few other members appeared in the mag but what I noticed they're outtake pics from previous spreads, Yuuka's pics were the most obvious of them.
Mizuho has become one of JJ's most popular models, usually have many pics in these posts from their site. None today but she does have this rather large spread from their May issue.
Will end off with another superb set that's from the May issue of EX-Taishu. It features the first generation member Rina Uemura and can't recall her ever having such a huge solo spread. She does look quite good in it and back on January 4th she turned 23 in age. Following the pics have an older CM for their 'Keyakise' game that came out just after that event posted above.
