Keyakizaka46: A little bit of this and that for 2021 #2....

 


 No, you not reliving yesterday over as this is two days in a row with a Keya(Sakura) post! Said to expect another one this weekend but couldn't find a good reason not to do this one today plus there really wasn't much else going on. Also that post yesterday drew a hefty amount of views, many more then I thought would happen so perhaps there stull are some group fans out there. Keya's group posts were popular since day one but after that long break following their eighth single the views for these group posts really dwindled and can understand why though the solo posts remained popular. Keya is now back in my good graces and have been having a marathon of them the last two days, predicted there would be four group posts in the next month but that total could be twice as high.



 There's seldom any pics for the above trio or Keya captain Yuuka in these group posts as I save their things for solo ones. Yesterday's post had about 85 brand new pics, bet for today that total will be over 125 but didn't count. Some of the reason for these large posts is that there was only one the final six months of 2020, could have done a few but didn't think they'd be as interesting as this or the upcoming posts. Lot of things so let's get to the action though these five pics at the top are enough for a super duper post! But they've also got me thinking, who will have the next Keya photobook?


 Am planning on having another pair of posts this weekend but not in this vein. Was thinking about including mini recaps for their Sunday 'Soko' variety show but there's just way too many screenshots and couldn't explain things well enough. So the pair of posts will be for a two part show where the most popular member is determined, they're episode's nineteen and twenty. Last Sunday show #21 aired and hope the competition didn't stretch out into that show, subs for them come out on Thursdays. In the first show the members voted on who would make for the 'Perfect Girlfriend', though my top two faves didn't make the top three really can't complain on who did and won' give any spoilers away.












 Show #20 is which member you would wan as your.... boyfriend?! Also in the above show they announced the Senbatsu lineup for the April 14th single, today the PV came out for it and will have that at the end of the post. I'm kind of ga-ga lately over Rina Matsuda and do have some pics of her coming up but there are two others in Keya with the first name of Rina. One is Rina Uemura and she's someone you don't hear about too often even though she's been with Keya since day one. In these group posts like to have pics of members who don't get a lot of exposure and have some older 'KeyaKise' promo game cards for her. Following her in this batch is Yumiko who had a superb spread in yesterday's post and is the oldest of the second generation members.





















 Do like that bottom card and as you can see in the top two Rina celebrated her birthday on January 4th, she turned 24. Why not have one more set for her and it's rare when she has a solo spread but did have one in the May, 2020 issue of EX-Taishu.











 Like yesterday's post have a good amount of newish 'Uni's on Air' pics to promote their web game which also features members from Hina. Also said in that last post won't be having any pics for members under the age of twenty, that shouldn't be a problem as just about all of the second generation members are 21+ in age. Have five members in this batch and each have four pics. In order it goes Akiho, Hikari, Hono and Yumiko, all are 2G gals. Bottom pics are for Keya's other Rika who is a first generation member but wasn't chosen to be a Senbatsu for the upcoming single.





















 Have said the name of Rina quite a it already and will again for these eight Uni pics. This Rina is Matsuda and no Idol has risen faster on my faves list the past two months than she has. Mentioned in that last post she was a bank teller before she joined, one of her favorite activities she says is counting money.... probably have mine counted in five seconds....









 Rei seems to be a rising star in Keya and I still don't know enough about her yet but give me time. She has two solo mag spreads(!) for today which is impressive as most are group ones lately. First off is this spread from the January edition of 20+ Sweet.












 Rei's second solo set is a brand new one from the April edition of Brody, on April 18th Rei will be hitting the age of 21.









 Hope you're enjoying the Rei pics as she has one more set. In this one she shares the pages with Hono who I truly like quite a it and you'll be seeing much of her in that upcoming recap for the 'Soko' variety show. This spread is from the January 8th issue of Weekly Shonen.









 Have one more mini spread but will hold on to it as this post is large enough. Will end off with my newest fave who of course you by know is Rina. She does appear in many mags but think she only has this one solo set which is from the January 2020 issue of BLT. Not enough things yet for her own post but will do what I've done for some Nogi members which is to have a 'greatest hit's' post for her group pics. Rina is a Senbatsu member for the new single "BAN", the PV came out for it today and you can view it after the pics, it already has about 600,000 views. I think the song is quite good but the video is just fair as the members are moving so fast it's hard to focus on any of them or at least until the end.
