Will be taking Monday off and most of Tuesday but will be leaving everyone with a beyond perfect post to savor during that time. Which will finally be Rena's photobook and have to say it's been one of Keya's best to date, it was a solid seller but the sales deserved to be much higher. Seeing as how I won't be around Monday will publish it right after the stroke of midnight on Sunday and it's no bewitching book! As a group Keya has been semi quiet which was odd considering their latest single came out about a month ago. But things are looking up as they'll be starting a tour in April plus there's a few other things coming up so hope these solo/group posts can start increasing.
Keya doesn't have a huge amount of photobooks but all have been fabulous. My top two are of the members above and the next book will feature
Rei, that'll be coming out next month.
Yui is in the top pic above and shell be featured in a Nogi drama beginning next month along with two other members plus one from Hina so am looking forward to that.
Yui is now also a new model for the
andGirl magazine so while I was worried about her graduating this year don't think it'll be happening.
This is bit of an odd post, not many different activities but bet the total of new pics may be over 125. First off are these monthly messages from the Keya website for March.
Last Saturday seven Keya members were at the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show, did have some pics in one solo post and will have more in another coming up very soon.
Hono was in attendance and how I wish there could be more solo posts for her. I really liked the way she looked at the show and she took her stroll on the
American Eagle stage.
What I've really missed the last few years are group events, can understand why there were so few of them from 2020 until early 2022. But on March 9th ,which was yesterday, a trio of members did attend an event and it may have the first non-fashion show event in over two years. The trio were promoting a new variety show called "Sakura Meets" which will be broadcast on Thursdays at 1:50 am(!) and airing on Asahi-TV beginning in April. Really don't know much about for now but will once it starts airing will then give more info about it as it sounds like a show that could be entertaining. In attendance was
Akiho plus
Kira who did something rare for her and smile at the event. Thee third member was
Rina Inoue and to me she could have Keya's most attractive face, she deserves more posts which isn't all that easy.
Will end off with the March promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game. Their pics are always superb and this may be the best batch to date! There's eighteen members who each have four pics for a total of 72 but there is one missing member. That's
Yumiko and am presuming she didn't have any pics because she's graduating, no date has been set but her farewell show will be during Keya's Spring tour. Will have four sections of pics and will begin off with the five remaining first generation members, hope I'm not wrong but don't think any will be leaving this year.... keep you fingers crossed! Up first is
Yui and there's nothing left to say about her that hasn't been said in her many solo posts. Up next is
Mizuho who was at that
TGC show and will have her pics from it in the next group post. In the middle is
Rina and I think she looks so super duper, finally did her first solo post and promise to have another somewhat soon. Fourth up is
Minami and guess if there was a member who may depart this year I would choose her, didn't know it until now but she and two other members hail from the prefecture of Hyogo which is a little west of Osaka. Last up is
Fuyuka and three weeks ago she celebrated her 25th birthday.
Rest of these new game pics will be for the second generation members. Leading off is once again
Rina and how I've really come to like her, she's another who I promise to have a post for soon. Following her is
Rena and as mentioned in the beginning will have her photobook coming up in two days, will talk about her current activities then. Third up is the third
Rina in Keya who is
Matsuda and three months ago to the day she was appointed as the group's new captain. In the cleanup position is
Hikaru and I've been working on her third solo post but just can't quite finish it but hopefully it'll happen soon. Last up is
Hono and already briefly mentioned her.
The above two sets each had five members, these last two batches will have four. First up is the group's other
Yui who will be turning 21 in two weeks, will try to have her first ever solo post a bit after her birthday. Second in this set is
Ten who is longer the group's youngest member, she's the only 2G member to be younger than twenty. Following her is
Kira who I've often pointed out is someone who rarely cracks a smile but she does come close in these pics. Rounding out this quartet is
Karin who was also at that last
TGC show, will also have pics of from it in the next group post.
What I really think is a positive about these posts is how there can be brief updates or whatever for all of the members. Final batch begins off with Hikari and in five weeks she'll be hitting the age of 24, Keya is no longer a young group. Second in this set is Rei who has a photobook coming out next month and should be able to have a post or two for her soon. Following her is Akiho who was at the event mentioned above. We've hit the end with the honor of being last going to Marino who is the only Keya member ever to hail from Mie!
