Keyakizaka46: The opulent fourth group post for 2022!!!!

 


 Said in the below post this wouldn't be done until tomorrow. Well finished what needed to be done a bit early so trying to rush through this post as there's a few others that need to be started on. Four posts for the year may not sound like a lot but the first one wasn't done until five weeks ago, that was after having zero for five months! These posts will be slowing down soon but there will be at least one and probably two next month. Of course that's Keya's captain Yuuka at the top and once again nothing new from her. Have such a strong feeling she'll be graduating this year but it probably wouldn't happen until their next single, say August or September? If that happens wouldn't a second photobook be a nice sendoff? Sure would and I really would like to see more books from Keya as they've just had one in the last 2 1/2 years.



 Nothing in this post for Yui either, both gals I save their pics for solo posts. But if there's nothing new in the next two weeks will go back to having their things in these group posts but hope it doesn't come to that. There's some good news which is that on May 14th there will be a 'Girls Award' fashion show and it'll be their first one in two years. The six members below are scheduled to attend, Rena will be making her first appearance at one of these huge shows. But in a major disappointment Yui isn't scheduled and she's been at twenty or so of these shows the last five years, grrrr....


 As usual have a little bit everything for today though once again no event pics but there will be many for the above show. Will start off with some new pics from the Keya 'Diary' blog with Rina, most members still don't have an IG page yet.











 Another feature you see in every post are promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game, also have many in Hina posts. Have a pair of members today with pics from February and for Easter, the duo are the group's other Yui and Yumiko who will be turning 24 in exactly two months.

















 One thing that aren't in many Keya posts these days are group cards and that's because they come out so sporadically. But do have a pair of members today with cards that came out at New Year's. First off is Minami who I truly like so much but she's another member that's so hard to have posts for. If you're not tired of Yumiko she has the second batch of cards and I do like the way she looks quite a bit.























 Small spread here featuring Hikaru from the April issue of ar.





 She appears in many mags but think so far for this year Rei Ozono has had more spreads, she turned 22 ten days ago. She's going to be the back cover girl for the next issue of Platinum Flash which comes out four times a year, some promo pics for the spread.








 More Yumiko as she shared the back cover of the May issue of Bomb with Rina. Didn't realize there were so many pics of Yumiko, had I known may have had a solo post for her.












 Let me wrap this up somewhat quickly, wasn't expecting to do this until tomorrow so this could be considered a 'bonus post'. In most Keya posts these days have been having a mini recap for their 'Soko Magattara' variety show, this one is more mini than usual as it just covers half the show. This is episode #73 which aired on March 20th and it's part two of 'Member Quiz That Only I Know'. What that means is a member knows some obscure fact about a member which no one else knows, if that's the case then that member will win a prize which for these shows was a yummy fruit sandwich. 

 In the first show there were just second generation members which was fine as those members I've really grown to like and it does help that most are 21+ in age. Just took screenshots of two segments as I wanted to get this post finished and there were a few first generation members in this show. First off though was a pair of 2G gals and the screenshots who were Yui, she gets a lot of air time on this show, and Akiho, you can see what the big secret with her was below. But more importantly was the segment with two impending members about to graduate, will they have some sort of farewell episode in three weeks? Aoi is one member leaving and her graduation has flown under the radar, she'll be turning 22 on May 7th. Of course the other member is Risa whose final day with Keya will be on May 22nd. The 'secret' Aoi knew about her mate and the pair are kind of close is that Risa is such a habitual late person. Not in waking up in the morning but if they set a date for lunch or whatever she'll constantly show up twenty minutes late.... as long as she showed up I would never complain!!!! No decent new videos so instead will have the link to Keya's(Sakura) YT channel, that doesn't get updated enough but sure there's many videos you've never seen: Keya's YT channel

  1. The bomb spread one is not Rei (the one with Yumiko). Her name is Uemura Rina.
