Hinatazaka46: The historical second solo post for.... Yuka Kageyama!!!!

 

 Hmmmm, have a feeling she's not the kind of woman who will be doing too much drinking after her departure.... perhaps she's in training to be a connoisseur of fine wines?! Yuka's first ever solo post was done on May 17th though of course mentioned her often in Hina group posts. That first one has been immensely popular and is one of the most viewed posts of the year that isn't a photobook. Don't think Yuka could have had many more over the yeas as she's a difficult member to post about but am planning on having another a month from now and then her fourth in mid-August.

 The official date for Yuka's graduation concert is July 19th at 7:00 pm. The below pic is from the Hina site and didn't make much sense for them promoting it as the concert sold out in the snap of a finger! The concert will be held at the Tokyo International Forum Hall A which holds a little over 5,000 fans, wonder why they're not holding it in a bigger place?

 Have a little bit of a lot of things for today. Some new tidbits, a few you've seen in group posts though many have been forgotten and they may add up to eighty pics. First off are some cards for Hina's last four singles and they go from #nine to six. First four are from their latest single "One Choice" followed by three for last October's "Midnight". Then have ten cards for single #7 which was "Boku Nanka" while the final three are for "Tteka", could have had more but tried to hold a few things back in case they're needed for her next post.

 Yuka won't be a Senbatsu member on Hina's next single as that comes out on July 26th and she'll have departed a week before. However would think that she would have a graduation song and video on the single. From April 2022 until March of this year Yuka hosted a radio show called 'Hina46 no Hotto Hitoiki!', had to include photos with her esteemed guest from last October.

 If you haven't viewed the "Re:Mind" drama from 2017 would highly recommend it. That may be my top '46' group drama and back then is when they were still named Hinatazaka 46. It just featured the first generation members and surprisingly Yuka had the second largest role in the show, she was one of only two that were in every episode. All of the members used their real names and did recap the entire series if you want to check those posts out.

 Have Yuka's June promo pics here for the 'Uni's on Air' web game, would think that the ones for July will her final ones. Will be keeping tabs on her, if there's any future activities or news will have that in group posts.

 Just one recent mag spread which is a mini one from the June issue of Trendy. Yuka isn't graduating because she wants to as I have a strong feeling she'd much rather stay with Hina for a few more years. The reason is she has some severe hearing issues and performing on stage has to be tough for her.

Hopefully Yuka will appear in a few more spreads before leaving but she's never had a lot of them in the past. She's been the cover girl for two magazines this year, one was in her last post and this set is from the February 15th issue of Weekly Shonen.

 Yuka's first and probably only photobook "Shiranai koto darake" was released on May 8th and has been a decent seller with almost 60,000 copies sold to date. Have the book but always wait at least three months before posting any book from a '46' group member. So expect to see the post for it in August or perhaps will make it the first post for September. The first pic below is one of the covers, the other ten are photos you haven't see yet here from the book. Am going to miss seeing Yuka on the group's 'Aimasho' variety show as she's been one of the highlights on it over the years, maybe they'll have a special show for her graduation. Was talking about the superb "Re:Mind" drama and you know what I had never included in those recap posts? That's the theme song to the show which is after the pics and is subbed in English, the song isn't that intense but the drama sure was.
