Keyakizaka46: The prodigieux 'Yuuka Sugai post' #11.... plus an early 'Happy 25th Birthday!'....

 


 Have had at least one post for 42 of the last 43 days which has to be a record for me, will make this the only one for today so I don't start getting too burnt out. Have many new pics for today but one of the main  reasons for this post was that I thought there was a September spread that hadn't been posted. Was wrong with that thought as it had been on September 3rd but will have it again today to fill this post up a bit more.

 Yuuka is kind of popular here, not as much as two other Keya mates but her posts usually draw more views than most other Idols. So it's a shame this is just her eleventh solo one to date, probably do one every 3-4 months. I truly like Yuuka so much, she's someone who would have a permanent spot in my yearly top ten if she had more posts and Keya's lack of activities the past twenty months has played a huge factor in that. Yuuka doesn't get enough credit for kind of holding things together for the group, it's true there's been too many departures but to me she cares about the group more than anyone else and that includes their shoddy management. 



 Know the group has changed their name but I'm stubborn and will always refer to them as Keya and bet most older fans will too. Not quite sure if there will be any changes on how I post about them, there's a core of members who I save up things for a solo post. But there's also a few other gals I like quite a bit too who are almost all first generation members, for their things have groups posts but there hasn't been one in so many months. But with their new single coming out shortly do expect many things for the members so there should be a huge increase in Keya posts. Still not happy with such a young center and may not listen to the 'hit' from the single which is okay as I'm more of a B-side fan and to me those are the group's best tunes.


 Hopefully there will be enough new activities for another Yuuka post in a few weeks and one that'll be a true birthday post. Actually don't know why there wouldn't be as she's always at a group event and do know there's a few mag spreads scheduled for her and other members.








 Yuuka's 25th birthday takes place on November 29th, those above are some pics from previous years and her assistant group captain celebrates her b-day in the same month too. Not going to beef that much but what a slow year it was for Keya and you fans may have noticed that as there was such a decrease in posts save for one and perhaps two members. Have no clue how many fans may have jumped ship but think quite a few have and personally can't see their upcoming single selling as well as their previous ones. Let's get on to some new pics and this is Yuuka's fourth post of the year which does surprise me a bit as there hasn't been all that much going on. One thing that did take place was that they released their first documentary on DVD back in September, these are interview pics promoting it with the Walker Plus site and like those old uniforms much better than their new ones.








 Few new pics for 'Uni's on Air' which is a Keya app game. That got me thinking about if they changed the name to their new one and there's many other apps and such with the Keya name.





 There's certainly many attractive Idols around and that's been the case for many years. But in my book Yuuka may have the most attractive face of any current Idol and am still surprised no site has signed her up to be a model. Blogging is not one her best talents but do have a few recent ones, at their new site the group blog is still called Diary.









 That second to last pic was from a 'Japan Equestrian Association' event held on October 30th. Yuuka has received many awards from them but will hold on to those pics for her next post. She's been a 
co-host of the 'Recon' radio show since April 2017 but just does one a week, Nogi members also have their own shows and these are recent pics from it.











 'Keyakise' is another online game featuring Keya members and wonder if the name of that will be changed too? Here's some promo cards for the game and isn't it time for Keya to have another drama as it's been over three years since they appeared in one.











 On October 28th Yuuka and her mates attended their first event with the new 'Sakura' name. It was to promote a new AEON group credit card and five of the members have been doing work for the company for over three years. These uniforms are just fair in my opinion, prefer the blue ones you saw a little up in the post.












 This is the spread I thought hadn't been posted but was. May as well have it again as Yuuka does look mighty superb and it's from the September 2nd issue of Weekly Shonen, she's been their cover girl four times this year.












 We'll be ending off with the same mag which is a brand new spread from their December 2nd edition, bottom three pics are from the photo shoot and Yuuka is once again their cover girl. After the pics have one of the new CM's for the group's AEON credit card.
