Rena Moriya: Her eagerly awaited 14th post!
Once again failed in doing a group post but there should be one in a few days.... though said that a week ago! They did perform yesterday at the Japan Expo in Paris, will talk about it more in that group post but will have something about it for today. Seems like a slower year for Rena compared to 2022 but this is her fifth post so just one more is needed to qualify for the yearly faves list, last year she was in the eighth position. But last year she had the advantage of having a photobook which always means a few more posts, if she can get up to eight this year will be happy with that.
This was a bit of a 'spur of the minute' post, beside failing with doing a group one for Keya also failed at doing a few others! Then remembered that I had a some things piled up for Rena and she's one woman I really enjoy posting about, she does have many fans here as her posts are usually very popular, especially the one for her photobook and the pics above are from it. Have about fifty new Rena pics for today and first off are these since June 1st from her IG page, her last post was at the end of May.
Here's Rena's monthly message pics that go from July back to February. They're posted on the first of the month at the Keya site and you'll notice for July their uniform changed.
The next 'Tokyo Girls Fashion; show will be held on September 2nd and there's usually a dozen members from Hina and Keya. There's been three other shows this year and Rena has appeared at two of them, hopefully she will be at that next show. This small batch is form the February TGC show that was held in Wakayama.
As mentioned Keya appeared at this year's Japan Expo and think they were the only J-Pop group to perform. They only did a half hour set of six songs and still can't believe they went all that way just for a half hour show! The concert was a half hour late in starting as the promoters didn't do a solid job of organizing things but heard Keya did a decent performance. There is a video out there but it's just so-so, hoping to find a better one. The thing that is so mysterious is that the group brought no merchandise with them! So they went all the way to Paris yet if a newbie fan wanted to buy a CD or photobook they were out of luck and that makes zero sense to me. On a brighter note their current single "Start Over!" has sold 455,000 copies in it's first two weeks and could end up being their best selling single.
Rena is a model for the Anan magazine but don't have any newish modeling pics. But do have some superb ones for the 'Uni's on Air' web game, four pics each for July and June.... that fourth pic down gets an A++++ from me, whewwww....
Will end off with this magazine spread and could be wrong(probably) but don't think it had been posted and she was the cover girl for the June 14th issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday.... more I think about almost 100% certain it hasn't been posted. Keya has a second YT channel for member's personal videos, after the pics have Rena's second ever video that was posted twelve days ago.
