Rena Moriya: Her exuberant and highly anticipated sixteenth post!!!!
A month ago did a Keya group post which had been their first one in five months. Did promise to have one or two more for July but that hasn't worked out, one reason is that I forgot all about it until today. But the bigger reason is because it's become so difficult these days to do posts for the first and second generation members of Keya and do a slight extent Hina too. In the case of Keya though their last single has been the group's best selling one it's so hard to do posts for the older gals as they have so fewer magazine spreads and modeling pics. Plus there's only been one photobook the last fifteen months and no events since December so you can understand why there has been so few posts.
But least there has been a pair of posts for Rena lately, this post of course plus she had one June 11th though that was her first in eleven months. To say I like her immensely would be such an understatement and she has been my fave Keya member since who-know-you left on February 1st. Rena is well liked here too as her first dozen posts were very popular but not her last three and wonder why, no new gravure pics? That could be a reason and it often is for Idols but no new scantly pics are okay by me as Rena just looks so super attractive. It just occurred to me it's been almost six months since the last Keya graduation which for them is a long stretch and hope I didn't put a jinx on them with that comment....
Seeing as how Rena's last post was done less than six weeks ago there isn't a huge amount of new things but there are over forty new pics for this post and why have them get dated? Rena is a model for two sites but no new pics from either one today but she does post so many photos at the group 'Diary' blog. These are all since her last post and have a few of Keya so you remember who they are!
Keep saying I will do a post for Yui and it will happen but there being no new pics for almost six months it's not an easy thing to do. But was thinking of ending off July with that post, she did appear to be close with Rena and their ages are only 2 1/2 months apart. It's also not easy finding pics of them that hadn't been posted before but have one last small batch of them.
Here's a nice set of pics which are 2024 Keya cards and all are brand new for here. I think Rena looks so fabulous in the bottom three cards and what an underrated beauty she is, the three above those final ones are for Keya's latest single.
Don't know what the number is but I bet from early 2021 until mid 2023 Rena had the second most mag spreads of any Keya member. But then they slowed way down, not just for her but all the members of the first two generations. She's only had two solo spreads this year so far and will end off with her latest one. But before that to make this post a bit larger let's have an encore viewing of this terrific older set that's from the June 14, 2023 issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday.
What else that has been making posts difficult to do is that there's bene no new promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game since April and why have they stopped releasing them? For the final set of pics for this post have this new spread from the August issue of Entame, Rena is the cover girl and she often has that honor. Keya has their own YT channel for member videos, two weeks ago Rena uploaded one that features her semi-namesake from the group who is Reina, she celebrates a birthday in four days. Last year Rena went golfing for the first time and now loves the game, the first half of the video which is after the pics is of the pair shopping for golf clothes while the second half is of them playing virtual golf.
