Keyakizaka46: Hikaru Morita's unassuming second post....

 

 This could be the final Keya post of the year and it was certainly a good one for them as they may have had close to seventy posts between group ones and these for the members. Hikaru's first solo post was done a little over two months ago and it appears she doesn't have all that many fans! After a while the views on it have slowly gotten higher but it just may be the least popular of any '46' member's post this year!!!!

 Will admit I wasn't that much of a Hikaru fan at first. She was the center for the group's first two singles after the name change to Sakura and had been hoping the honor would go to a first generation member. But over time I have grown to like Hikaru quite a bit, she has that certain 'aura' about her and bet the fact she's never done any gravure photo shoots is the main reason that first post wasn't all that popular.... which means this one may not be either! At 150 cm she's Keya's all time shortest member and a little over six months from now will be hitting the elderly age of 22.

 It's been a bit of a slowish stretch as of late for Keya, they have been appearing on some special end of the year music shows but that's been about it recently. But that should be changing as the groups 14th single, fifth under the Sakura name, will be coming out in seven weeks. So soon things should be picking up, hope this new single kind of perks up Keya as they've been in a minor rut. Hasn't been a bad rut but wish they were busier as a group and hope they break out of that streak of singles selling about 450,000 copies. So if this is the final Keya post of the year am going out with a BANG as this will be a large one, some pics have been in the last two group posts but the vast majority are brand new for here. First off are some recent Hikaru pics from Keya's 'Diary' blog and she hasn't had that many as of late, first photo is with her close(?) Hina mate and the pair did star together in the "Borderless" drama.

 Hikaru's first post was done a few days after the October 8th 'Girls Award' show and I thought she looked better than ever. She did an interview with the Model Press site after the show which came out on October 24th, here's the link to it: Model Press interview

 Hikaru has been a model for the ar magazine since February 2021, she usually has a spread in their editions but as of late they've been way too tiny! Her last pair of spreads have only been two pages which are these from their November and December issues.

 But Hikaru will be the cover girl for the next issue of BLT Graph, it's her second time with that honor. That won't be coming out for another week but have many outtake pics and some from their site.

 Have Hikaru's promo pics from the last two months for the 'Uni's on Air' web game. First four are from November that had an Autumn theme while the others are of course for Christmas. 

 Hikaru has very few Christmas pics compared to other members, have some here but the first six are actually for New Year's.

 Forgot to post these cards in her first post which came out earlier this year. Some say 'W-Keyaki Fes 2021' but the cards didn't come out until April(?).

 May not have seemed like a large post but there were over eighty pics. Will end off with this oldie spread from the May 2020 issue of EX-Taishu, Hikaru sure knows how to pick her partners! It's been a long time since there's been a Keya 'Pairs Post' and this duo just may be deserving of one as they've had four magazine spreads together. Hina's YT site is quite good and they're constantly adding new videos. Can't say the same for Keya and they need someone like me(!) 🙋 to be their manager as they need so much more exposure. After the pics have a promo video for their November 8th and 9th Tokyo Dome concerts which were the final ones for their Autumn tour, but besides that and a few other promo videos there's been so few of them this year.
