Keyakizaka46: Their uneerie yet spine tingling(?) third post for 2024...
Didn't have any intentions of doing a Keya post for today but wanted to have more than one. So figured this would end up being a bit tiny but that's not so as there may be about a hundred new pics. Though it says post #3 for the year the first two were for the 'Uni's on Air' game but those actually could be considered to be regular posts. Of course this is Yui leading off, what's so sad is that for now on we have to call her an ex-Keya member! Her final concert took place yesterday but not going to talk much about her in this post. Would like to have a pair of them for Yui this month so will save her things for them but there really isn't all that many new things. So far haven't got a copy of her graduation show but sure I will get it somewhat soon, it's only been one day!
Do have a few pics from the graduation concert that took place yesterday at the Yoyogi National Stadium in Tokyo. These are from the Keya site and once I get that concert will have more info and screenshots from it. Not a long show as just 19 songs were performed, perhaps because there were so many farewell speeches. Minami was there for the final show and she's been on hiatus for three months, hope she comes back healthy and raring to go soon. Thought Risa and Yuuka may have made an appearance but sadly that didn't happen, even more sadly is that Yui didn't have a graduation book and the two members mentioned did.
There are the four remaining first generation gals above, make that three and who do you think will be next to depart? Have a lot of many things for today but no cards, have posted so many have lost track of what's been posted and what hasn't. Don't know if any have noticed but for the past 2-3 months have always included something in these posts for the 3G member Rika Ishimori. Will confess I really like the way she looks and she's the oldest 3G member as she turned 22 back on January 13th. She now has a weekly segment on the "Love It" show and some recent pics from Keya's 'Diary' group blog.
Last time we'll see a photo of those two together, sigh. Have more blog pics and these are with the 2G member Marino who I also confess to liking quite a bit. She posts so many blog pics but I bet over 80% of them are with other members, does that mean she's so likable? Only a few of these are solo ones and many are from a recent 'Backs Live' concert, those are for the non-Senbatsu members and from what I've seen those are better concerts than the regular ones. Rei is in the first two pics and will have a video of her at the end, you may notice that her hair is a bit shorter as last week she did chop her long tresses off for the first time in years.
Of course that last pic is not new as it's from May 2022. Tomorrow Risa will at the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show in Wakayama, be nice if I could do a post for her in the next few days. On the first of every month the members post a message at the Keya main site, am missing one 2G gal though and this is historical as it's the final monthly pic for Yui.
Here's a poser of a question, how many members below have left the group but then again it's hard enough to name them all!
Grrrr, its so difficult to write with those pics spinning out of control! Have one new magazine spread for today and they've been a rarity this past year, this set is from the March issue of Entame. It features Shizuki who turned 19 eleven days ago, with her is Airi who is really becoming popular.
The February promo game pics for the 'Uni's on Air' began to come out today, not too many yet so think there may be two more posts this month. They will be needed as I almost forgot to mention Keya's(Sakura) next single is coming out on February 21st. The lineup has been announced but no covers or anything else so hope to have more info in the next group post. On to the game pics and will begin off with some from January as they hadn't been posted yet. Those four pics are for Rina I, they're her birthday ones as she hit the age of 23 on January 29th. Following her is another Rina who is Matsuda and the captain of Keya, as you can see the theme is for Valentine's. Rounding out the trio is Hikaru and I get so frustrated in not being able to do solo posts for her.
Just four members had game pics come out today, two are above with the other two below featuring Marino and isn't her smile infectious, Hono follows her and she too is so overdue for a post.
Will end off with some super duper newish pics for the group's 'Saku Koi' simulated web game that began last July. First off are the final ever Keya pics for Mizuho, after her is Hikaru who has more of these pics than any other member, does that mean most players would like to date her? Third up with nine pics is Karin, you can see her bottom ones are for Valentine's and so aren't the ones for Rina U, to me her pics were the top ones for this post and isn't she just so darn adorable?! Earlier mentioned that Rei recently cut her hair, personally thought that long hair suited her so well. Five days ago she uploaded a video to the Keya YT channel where you can watch her tresses get chopped away....
