Keyakisaka46: The first ever combined 'Rika Watanabe and Mizuho Habu' post!

 

 The title may be slightly deceiving as it's not a usual 'pairs post' and am combing their new pics for one post. Usually have solo ones for Rika and surprisingly they've had a high number of views as she just may be the second most popular Keya member I post about on a semi regular basis. For so long Rika was my #1 Keya gal but over the years has dropped to third which is still a solid standing. Probably could have done a solo post had I waited a few more weeks or a month for new things but thought didn't make too much sense holding on to these newish pics. 

 Another reason is that there hasn't been a regular Keya group post for a while and once again will try to have one but that hasn't been working out well. So that means members such as Mizuho you don't get to see as she's had zero solo posts so thought why not have these gals together? For the longest time have to admit I didn't care for Mizuho that much, she seemed like an okay woman on the 'Keyakitte' show but never thought she was that attractive. Can't say that these days as her looks have improved so much these past two years and she looks oki doki to me these days. What's surprising is that even though they've been in Keya for over five years they don't even have five pics of them together!

EDIT: In case you missed the previous Keya post done much earlier today it was announced that the group will be releasing their second single under their new Sakura name. It appears the name of the main song will be "Ban" and that's about it for details as of now save for that it's coming out on April 14th. Nice to see there's not a huge gap between singles as the first came out in December, will have more details in future posts.

 As was the case for the other '46' member posts started this two days ago and was waiting for the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show to take place. Hopefully both look good at the show, sure they will but both too dress a tad too conservatively at them which really isn't a bad thing. Should have an equal amount of pics for each of them in this post and am slowly getting back to Keya though of course that name has been changed.

 Been watching their variety show after taking a long break from it, name of the show changed too but everything else is the same. Hope they don't wait too long to release another single and also hoping we'll be seeing them at events which I've missed, there was a minor one last week but neither was there. On to the pics and all are new save for this first batch of promo 'Keyakise' game cards, they're two years old but new for here. Have ten pics of Rika followed by ten of Mizuho.

 As you can see Mizuho's birthday falls on July 7th, she'll be turning 24 this year and I prefer posting about slightly older Idols. Rika isn't old but she is the oldest of the Keya members as she'll be turning 26 on May 16th, hate to say it but my $$ is on her being the next to graduate. Have eight new pics here for each promoting the Keya web game 'Uni's on Air'.

 Mizuho is a model for the JJ magazine but she doesn't appear in every issue. But she does have many pics at their site and her looks have improved more than any member since they began.

 Huge lack of mag spreads recently featuring the first generation members but there's been a huge decrease for all Idols these past five or so months. But do have a superb Mizuho spread from the December issue of BLT Graph.

 Rika is a model for the Larme magazine but no recent pics from them but do have plenty of terrific new ones from the Ray site.

 After this set will be taking a break for two days and waiting for the TGC show to take place, really am hoping there will be plenty of pics from it. This Rika set is from the February issue of Ray, some of the pics are the same as the above ones but those don't have any graphics on them.

 Am back from the break or at least the stretch of time waiting until the Spring/Summer 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show was held. This is their 32nd year of shows, hope the title doesn't mean there will be no other shows this Spring. The event was held at the Yoyogi First Gymnasium arena but no fans were allowed. The venue can hold over 13,000 fans for those kinds of shows but it was streamed live. Most of the seven Keya members took two strolls on the catwalk. The first was a solo one for them but also the group had a mini promotion for their new Aeon Keya credit card and how many have come out? Here's Mizuho's posts from that promo segment.

 First and last pics from the above and this batch are from her IG page. Mizuho looked okay in those above pics but so much better on her solo strut which was on the R4G stage.

 At the show Keya also performed three songs from their first single. They said for now they wouldn't be doing any old Keya tunes so be tough to have a regular length concert with not too many tunes. On to the final bit for today which are Rika's pics from the TGC show. For my money she looked the best of any member and just wish there were more pics, these are from that Aeon promo segment.

 After the pics is a video of that promotion, it starts at the 5:20 mark. Shame there aren't more pics of of her solo stroll on the catwalk as I haven't seen her look this fabulous in a while, it took place on the Ann Coulter stage and there's also a few pics of the group in concert. Good news for Rika fans as after not being a Senbatsu member on the last single she's returned to that spot for the upcoming one.
