Gulp, it wasn't that type of show!!!! So here's a pair of posts to begin the month off with which won't be popular in the least. That is unless you're a Keya/Sakura fan as this is something you should be interested in but haven't viewed episode #82 yet, will after this is written up. So if you are a fan of the group you know that Risa graduated on May 22nd after the second of two farewell concerts. On May 15th and 22nd their 'Soko' variety show dedicated those two episodes to Risa's departure and figured why not share what took place? Now that she's gone it will be more difficult to have posts for her but will have one around her July 27th birthday. Plus as of now would say Risa is the front runner for being my #1 on the 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list and will begin that in August.
Have been wanting to do a regular Keya post for many weeks now but as you may have noticed that didn't work out. These recaps for '46' variety shows are never too long, mainly because they're just 25 minutes in length. But also it's because I let the screenshots explain what took place, if you click on the first one then you can follow the action in the order it took place. Did take fifty screenshots but wanted to do twenty more but my most HATED thing happened here and there. That's of the members wearing masks and how I can't stand them on these shows. Their faces are too covered up and it isn't all that easy understanding them either but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. This show aired on May 15th and as the title says was episode #81, following this post will be the recap of Risa's final show and hope it's a good one.
The two hosts who may not be in too many screenshots are Sawabe and Tsuchida, they're not the best but better than Nogi's. Almost every member appeared in this first show except for one and how I hope that means she'll be in most scenes the next show! That member is Yui and she's now my top Keya member, she's risen higher than anyone else this year for that 'All Time Faves' list and in all honesty don't think she's that far away from being #1, hope her graduation isn't any time soon. So what took place in this first of two special shows is that Risa led the two hosts on a trio of trips to locations that were so important to her during her tenure with Keya. As mentioned every member save for one made an appearance and you have to think she knew that was going to happen.
Location #1 was the Shinjuku-mura Studios where Keya held their first practices. As you can see in the screenshots there's a lot of old footage from then which was late in 2015. Four members were 'surprise guests' at the studio to share memories of the her and Keya's history. Risa has changed in almost seven years and especially the last three. She used to be way too shy and quiet which she's admitted a few times on the show. But she's opened up much more and I really think it's been since the second generation joined as she had to become a 'big sister' to them. The third segment featured those members and it took place at Keya's man studio. The other segment which was the middle one took place in Chiba where Keya filmed the MV for their their single "Futari Saison". Risa wanted to visit the location one last time as it's her top Keya single and as a 'surprise' four other first generation members were waiting for her. So all in all this was a very enjoyable show and hope I don't tear up too much for the next episode which is Risa's final one, wonder if she's going to try her hand at acting? As mentioned start from the first screenshot as they go in order of the action. Sadly the entire show isn't on YT but after the screenshot is a short segment from it.
