Hikaru Morita: Is hoping this post doesn't make you run for the hills!!!!

 

 I'm also hoping there isn't a mad dash to the hills though sure some may be heading that way! Say that for Hikaru's first trio of posts have been anything but popular, one did draw a so-so amount of views but it doesn't appear as she's one of Keya's more liked members. Have to admit I was that way at first as when the name changed to Sakura Hikaru was the center for the first two singles. At the time was a bit peeved that a first generation member didn't have the honor but it wasn't her fault she was chosen and those two singles she centered were quite good. As time has gone on I've really taken a liking towards Hikaru, her posts will never have any gravure photos which is fine by me but sure it's a huge reason her posts don't draw more views, would be shocked if she ever had a photobook.

 Was going to do this post three weeks ago but had been waiting for a few new pics but so few have come out but do have forty new ones for today which is plenty. Has been a semi slower stretch for Keya the last month, will explain the reasons a bit later in the post but they will be starting their Spring tour on April 12th. Was just at the group site and have to say ticket prices these days are beyond sky high.... 9800 yen or almost $74 for a ticket which to me is mind boggling. Let's get to the newish things and first off are these recent photos from Keya's 'Diary' group blog. Most of the second generation members still do their posts there and Hikaru never has enough solo pics.

 Hikaru is a model for the ar magazine, her modeling pics at their site are always superb but she never has enough as this is it from the past month.

 Have a pair of magazine spreads but both consist of only two pages, why'd they bother?! First two are from the February 8th issue of Anan, the other two are from the April edition of ar.

 Oh well, least Hikaru looks oki doki in the new pics and especially these four which are March promo ones for the 'Uni's on Air' web game.

 One reason for the slight slowdown on Keya posts is that the new third generation is getting more attention and hope management doesn't go overboard with the intros like Hina and Nogi have done. The other reason is a much better one as Hikaru and two other members have been doing filming for the upcoming drama "Actress" that will begin airing on April 14th. It features seven members from the three '46' groups and six were in the "Borderless" drama that aired two years ago. Sadly only one subbed episode was ever available for fans, Hikaru was one of the two stars in that show and it looked to be a promising series. Hopefully this new show will be subbed and if so will of course recap the drama. The top four photos are from the set of the "Borderless" show, the bottom one is the poster for "Actress" and following that is a promo video that just came out for the series.

 

 Of course that's Kyoko above as the pair did star in the drama together, wonder if they were teamed up because of their heights? She's 154 cm while Hikaru at barely 150 cm is the shortest '46' member of all time. Back when the series aired in the Spring of 2021 the duo had a spread in the April 30th issue of Flash to promote the show and don't think this spread has ever been posted before.

 Will end off with some super duper pics from the Match 4th 'Tokyo Girl Collection' show that was held at the Yoyogi National Stadium Gymnasium in Tokyo. To me Hikaru looks so much better at these shows than she does in mag spreads or modeling pics, she took her stroll on the Treat Urself stage. After the pics is a video of the show which also has a member from Hina, her segment begins at the 1:15 mark.
