Keyakizaka46: Their fifth stylish post for 2022!

 

 This has been a real nice streak for Keya since March 21st as this makes five group posts plus there's been five solo ones for members. It's not going to last forever but if you're a fan expect two more posts next weekend, with any luck there will be three of them! As far as streaks go that's how it's been this year for posts. Will have a stretch where 70% of the posts are for actresses or dramas but there's been so few of them as of late which means there could be a slew of them soon. Keya's rival Hina will also be having a slew of posts starting next weekend which should continue for the next month. Though Hina has had so many more group and solo posts this past year I do prefer Keya over them and for the past few years over Nogi too.

 Of course those above pics are from Hono's first photobook and the post for it may be one of the top five most popular posts of the year. Still can't understand why we haven't seen more books, that's been the only member book in 2 1/2 years. But Risa will have a graduation book coming out in ten days but was just reading a new interview she had for the book which won't be a regular one and will discuss it more in her next post. Which may be in a week as she and five other members will be at the May 14th 'Girls Award' show so I expect to have a group post the day after the event. But what I also want to have is a solo post for Hono who hasn't had one for a while, plus Rena will appear at her first ever fashion show so you may see her fourth solo post of the year next weekend too.

 In most Keya and Hina posts have a certain order to them and it just developed over the years. Usually end off with a mini recap and many screenshots from their variety show but for today will switch the order of things. Just viewed Keya's 'Soko Magattara Sakurazaka?' show that aired on April 3rd and was episode #75. Only took half the amount of screenshots I usually do so will have this mini recap near the top. The main reason for so few screenshots is that a trio of members were wearing masks and I really hate when they wear them on shows, can't see their faces well and they don't talk as clearly. The theme to this show was 'Fourth Single Hit Prayer Campaign' and that single came out three days later.

 The trio of Risa, Hikaru and Ten tried their hand at the sport of Kyudo which is the Japanese word for Archery. So while I didn't take a lot of screenshots this was a very informative show which is recommended. Learned so much about the sport and shooting an arrow isn't as easy as it looks. The trio took a two hour lesson one day from some 'experts', the following day is when their challenge was. Which may seem easy enough but it took the gals five hours to accomplish it and they were so exhausted after. The challenge was to hit the Makiwara which is the board or target, they didn't have to hit the bullseye. The target had to be hit three consecutive times by the trio, if one missed they had to begin again which is why it took them forty rounds and five hours! They were getting a bit depressed towards the end after so many misses, hate to say it but Risa may have dragged them down. But at the end the trio accomplished their goal and will say it again that I learned so many things about this sport, so didn't the members.

 Two mini mag spreads for today, first off features Rei from the May 5th issue of Weekly Shonen and in the last post mentioned how it seems she's had more spreads than any member this year.

 Second set is from the May edition of Ray which features Hikaru, Hono and Karin.

 This is turning out to be a large post so that means can hold back some things which may be needed if I want to have a group post or two next weekend. Rina is Keya's vice-captain and she's only had one solo post in the past which is such a shame as I really do like her. There is one thing she does better than any other member which is the amount of pics she has at the group's 'Diary' blog, these are all from the past two weeks.

 At the beginning of each month the members have a pic with a short message on Keya's(Sakura) group site, these are new for May.

 A main reason for slightly switching up the order of pics is because I wanted to end with this member. Yui is my second all time Keya member and there's been certain things which I like about her more than number one! But we haven't seen too much of Yui since she came back from her three month hiatus last December and why not as that was almost six months ago!!!! Yui's been a model for the With magazine for three years and after having so few pics at their site for months have this huge batch of fabulous pics which all came out in April. Thirteen to be exact and the bottom pic is a blog one from a month ago. Know it may sound odd but it could be my #1 pic of the year and Yui just looks too perfect to describe in the pic, we need to see so much more of her.... After the pics is a new promo video for AEON, Keya has group credit cards for the company. Yui is in the video along with Minami, Mizuho and Risa who has been so much busier with her graduation date looming....
