Keyakizaka46: Their awe-inspiring thirteenth post for 2022....

 

 First group post in five weeks but bet there's been seven for members in that period. One was for Rena who is just above and those are pics from her first photobook. Did that post last week and it's been by far her most popular one to date, it may end up being the most viewed Keya post for the year! Hopefully can have her next post a little after October 8th and also a few other posts for some members along with another group one. On that date seven members will be at the Autumn 'Girls Award' show and the pics from those are usually super duper.

 Speaking of photobooks Keya's captain Yuuka who is right above will be having a graduation book coming out on November 8th. There's been no official date for her departure but Keya does hold a pair of Christmas concerts in mid December so that sounds like a logical time and last year two members graduated during those shows. Here's the covers for the book along with it's first promo pics, we all really like Yuuka a lot so will work on having a few solo posts for her over the next few months.

 Plus Yui has her second photobook coming out on October 4th, so after having zero books all year now there will be three in an eleven week period! As usual have a potpourri of things for a Keya post though they don't have as many different kinds of pics as Hina does. First off are some recent pics from Keya's 'Diary' blog featuring Rina, she'll be turning 23 on October 13th. She's the group's vice-captain so will she be getting a promotion after that upcoming graduation?

 Just one new mag spread for today and as I've moaned about most of this year why has there been such a decrease of them for Keya and Hina? This set is from the October 12th issue of Weekly Shonen and for the second time Rei is their cover girl, just did her first ever solo post a few weeks back. 

 The 'Uni's on Air' web game is celebrating their third anniversary and have a ton of new promo pics for them. So many had thought about devoting a post to them but will just include them in solo and group posts. Will have a quartet of members for today with the first pair being first generation members and they're rapidly dwindling! Leading off is Fuyuka and have to say these may be her best pics to date, my prediction is that she'll be the final first generation member. Following her is Mizuho, she often has modeling pics in these posts but there's no new ones for her nor any other member.

 Next up are a pair of 2G members with the first being Hikaru. Been trying to work on her first ever solo post but that hasn't worked out well at all, she's one of Keya's busiest members but this is sort of a slow stretch for them and it may be because they're on their Autumn tour. Will end off with the group's youngest member Ten who is the only one with eight pics. That's because four are birthday pics and guess what... today just happens to be her birthday and didn't wait for that occasion to do this post.

 We've hit the end and while there were a lot of new pics not many different activities, next group post will be right after the October 8th 'Girls Award' show is held. Will end off with a mini recap for the group's 'Soko' show and haven't done one of these for a while. This was episode #96 that aired on August 28th, am just one episode behind the team that subs this show. Made a minor boo-boo as this was part two of a 'challenge' and after viewing this thought it was no big deal. So make these recaps on the shortish side but have plenty of screenshots which do follow the action as it happened.

 The challenge was which member has the best proverb they live their life by? Did miss Yui in show #95 and her proverb was to make sure you always tip an Uber Eats driver well! She often just orders one item and feels so guilty about a driver going all the way out to Saitama where she lives. In this episode five members gave their essential proverb, most were very serious though a pair did have some goofy ones. First off was Rei whose adage was to speak 200 times louder than you should to get attention! She's appeared on a few variety shows where the other guests speak up so loudly and she's been overlooked because of that. Many other members also said they had the same thing happen to them, it was such a hit that proverb was chosen to be the best one!!!! I enjoyed Kira's the best as her saying was to walk twice as fast as you usually do so you can get home twice as fast! That was no joke proverb as a few other members mentioned how she does live by that rule. Final segment featured Mizuho who will soon become Keya's oldest member, her motto to life was if a train is over crowded to get off one stop before which was a bit ingenious. After the screenshots have a PV that had never been posted before. The song is titled "Masatsukeisu" which wasn't a single but off the group's first album since their name change to Sakura. Name of the album is "As you know?" that came out in August. and the video has close to four million views!
