Hikaru Morita: Is she recalled by anyone out there????

 

 Wasn't planning on having a second post for today and actually am currently undecided on whether to publish this today or tomorrow. But it's been so rare to have have back to back posts for a '46' group member, remember years ago when it seemed there was either a daily group or solo post for a member? Because of 90% of my favorites leaving I don't follow the three '46' groups all that closely these days and the same applies to all J-Pop groups. But I do keep tabs on which members will be graduating, who has a photobook coming out or is appearing in magazines plus how their singles are selling. So I'm more into the members these days versus the groups as a whole and will try to have a few more of these in the future for Keya's second generation members. They were my top group from about 2020-23 but sadly all the 1G members are gone and didn't pay too much attention to them after the Summer of 2024. The group now has a fourth generation and I couldn't tell you the name of one member as I'm sure they're way too young. But I've always thought the second generation members of all three '46' groups were extremely strong, it's not easy doing posts for the active 2G gals from Keya and Hina but do promise to work on some but does either group have any fans left here?

 It's not always easy to explain in words why you're attracted or interested to a certain woman or J-Pop group, TV show or whatever and perhaps no explanation is needed. Bring that up for I've always had a quiet crush on Hikaru 😍 which I have admitted before and I'm so curious about her. At a little over 150 cm she's the shortest member of any '46' group and is a woman who we'll never see do any gravure photo shoots or least I hope not. But how I would love to go on a date with Hikaru as I think she looks terrific though not in the way most Idols do. Plus she's so interesting and fun as Hikaru loves animes, mangas, sci-fi films and is the best artist in any of the '46' groups. So when I woke up today for some reason Hikaru was in my mind and that was a good thing, told myself I've been putting off this post for too long and what a perfect day it would be to write this up!

 In the post below this one said how unpopular that Hina member had been for so long but this past year has become so much more popular. Wonder if the same would apply to Hikaru but I doubt it, I would say she's been the least popular woman I've posted about who has ten or more posts! But as I've said often how many views a woman's posts gets doesn't factor in with who I do posts for and never will. I'd love to do more of these for Hikaru and a few of her current Keya mates but these days that's not likely to happen. But if she does have a few fans out there this will be your top post of the year to date(!) and I love doing posts that have a lot of variety to them. This July Hikaru will be hitting the age of 25 and she's finally not looking like a teenager these days. There was a recent graduation of a second generation member but for the most part Keya does seem stable these days and their popularity is still high but doubt if you'll be seeing any group posts in the future.

 Do have many new pics but let's begin off with this smallish batch with an ex-member who needs no introduction. The pair did three magazine spreads together and always seemed to be close so wonder if they still socialize these days?

 Of the three '46' groups Keya(Sakura) has the fewest group cards these days and that's a shame as I think their cards are the best. This is it for 2025 except for their singles and those will be in a future post.

 One thing Hikaru has really improved at is posting photos at Keya's group blog which is called 'Diary'. She has some sharp looking pics below that are all from the past few weeks, only included her solo photos.

 What really stunned me is that Hikaru and other Keya members didn't appear at any of those huge fashion shows last year and why not???? They often look so superb at those events, members from Hina and Nogi were at them so why no gal from Keya? Have noticed that the group doesn't have 'Stars' like they once did and seem to do most activities as a group and not solo. So that's a big reason for the lack of posts and let's have some photos from the last time Hikaru appeared at a fashion show, I think these kinds of photos are so super duper! This set is from the September 7, 2024 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show, they have three coming up between now and April so let's hope Hikaru along with her mates appears at a few of them....

 Besides events another thing lacking with Keya are of them appearing in magazines, the same holds true for most Idols these days but more so with Keya. For a few years, say 2021-24, Hikaru was in more magazines than any other member but they've slowed way down these days. Do have a brand new set from the January 13th issue of Weekly Shonen, bet Hikaru has been their cover girl a dozen times. Keya's captain has her first photobook coming out soon and will try doing a post for her. Bet Hikaru has been offered a chance to have a book and if so turned down the offer. I'm sure she's no alluring gravure model type of woman which to me is such a positive and is one reason I truly adore Hikaru so hope she's perusing this post....

 Have had this huge spread before which is from the May 2020 issue of EX-Taishu. Meaning it's almost six years old and how can anyone get tired of this pairing..... hmmmm, just thought of something and that's if the duo has ever had a 'Pairs Post'? I don't think so and those posts are very popular with you viewers so let me see if there's any possibility of one. Hmmmm again, have only done one 'Pairs Post' for Keya and it did feature Yui who had a nice comeback last year as she was third on the fave's list but has been quiet again the past month.

 Will end off here, as fabulous as Keya group cards are my favorite pics from them are the promo ones for the 'Uni's on Air' web game. For years the game used to have monthly pics but they've become so sporadic since the Spring of 2024. Below have some brand new game pics which are for New Year's and think the dozen after that are new for here as they came out in early 2025 but hadn't done a Hikaru post in a while. The bottom four are for Valentine's Day and added them in for Hikaru probably won't have a post around then though I would love to have one. Keya has their own YT channel and often members upload their own videos. But after the pics have a group one from the channel and it's from when the group attended the "Anime Festival Asia 2025" event in Singapore, the video was uploaded three days ago but the event took place at the end of November. I thought it was a decent watch and will admit I do miss some of the members. Such as Hono who you viewers adore to no end but my fave is Rena and now my goal is to have a post for her very soon....
