Keyakizaka46: Their monthly 'Uni's on Air' game pics for June part one plus slightly more....

 


 Know its odd to begin off with Risa but it's been difficult to do posts for her as of late, it's now been one year and two weeks since her graduation. Will do something soon for her but least you saw plenty of screenshots of her from the "Borderless" drama which I finished recapping last week. Soon will also be doing the "Actress" drama, it's eighth and final episode just aired. To date four shows have been subbed and don't expect all of them to get done until July so that's when the first posts for the series will be done. These 'Uni's on Air' posts began five months ago as it was so hard to do regular group posts. This is a good way to have info and whatever about Keya's recent or upcoming activities. As the title says this is part one so will have eight members for today, will have part two in a week or so.



 As most fans know the group's sixth single since the name change to Sakura is titled "Start Over" and starting over from what? Shouldn't that have been the title of their first single(yes!) and the release date for it is June 28th. The covers for the single haven't come out yet but the PV has and it already has close to two million views in four days, have a feeling this could be their biggest selling single but not as huge as the days when they were known as Keya. Have some screenshots from the PV and also the lineup is there, Karin is the center for the song and my prediction was wrong. All of the first and second generation members will be on it, no 3G members yet though they will have their own song. The video for the single is after the pics and hope I can embed it, think for a while you couldn't embed their videos or am I getting confused with another group? The song itself is quite good but the video is just so-so, it's impossible to follow any members as the action is so fast paced and bet viewing it in concert or on a TV show would be better, least the video is subbed in English.









 

 At the beginning of each month there's a monthly message at the Keya/Sakura site. Here are the ones for June and there is one missing who is Hikari and think she's on hiatus once again.


















 Before this gets too dated have some photos from a TheTV site interview with Hono that took place after the May 4th 'Girls Award' show. These photos are from it and also have the link to the interview where she talked mainly about fashion and didn't even mention Keya: The TV site








 Two days ago Keya wrapped up their third tour with a concert in Osaka. These photos are from it and at the group site it did say the show was streamed but haven't found any videos yet. Their concerts have been getting better now that they have many more songs under their belt and will see if there's any clips on YT, if so will have a video at the bottom. The last pic in this batch is from after the show and am I losing my eyesight(?) as it seems there's two members missing.























 Now on to the new promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game, the theme for June is Hideout Gig. Will have two batches of four members who will all have four pics, the rest of the members will be in the next group post. Always begin off with the first generation members and first up is Yui, am working on a post for her which you'll be seeing tomorrow. Second is Mizuho and did I miss her as she doesn't appear to be in the above photo. Third up is Rina U. and once again promise to have another post for her soon. Rounding out the quartet is my fave second generation member Rena, just did a post for her two weeks ago which has been so popular and she may have another next week.

















 This foursome will wrap things up, first off is Rei who has fairly huge role in the "Actress" drama and it's the first thing I've seen her in. Following her is Keya's captain Rina and seeing as how there's three with that name in the group still can't understand why they don't have their own song. Third up is Karin and as mentioned she is the center for the upcoming single, lot of fans have been clamoring for a while to see her there. Last up is Hono who has been the center of a single which was "Nagaredama". Couldn't find any decent tour videos but do have one after the pics. Keya opened their second YT channel on May 4th and it'll be featuring member's videos and a channel like that was way overdue. However after a month there's just seven videos but bet being on tour meant they didn't have time to record many. The video features captain Rina who for the first time tried her hand at glamping which is a semi form of camping but the main reason for watching it is for her very special guest!!!!

  1. Yep, in the group pic there are indeed two girls missing, and that's why they others are holding up towels with the missing members' names on them πŸ˜‰
