It's been a while since I wrote up and published two posts in a day, that's my goal for this day so may have to rush through this but it still should end up being a terrific post. Actually doing two posts isn't uncommon but one of them is usually for a regular photobook though that won't be the case for today. Speaking of photobooks for the first time in years my cache of regular books is empty though do have some digital ones. A tradition for years has been to begin off a month with a sizzling photobook but that won't be the case for October and hopefully it won't continue on for a while. There has been a decrease in the amount of books that my favorites have released the last few years though they're been better than ever! Think the main reason is because sales have really dropped and wonder if fans of J-Pop groups have grown weary of them? Hikaru has never had a book and odds are she would never have a gravure photobook which is fine by me. But I wouldn't mind seeing her have some sort of fashion book and many of the women I like have had one of those, there's no revealing pictures in them but it's a nice change of pace from gaping at scantly clad gals and one of those books would be perfect for Hikaru.
Have said a few times that
Hikaru is my 'secret crush' and bet of all the women I post about she'd be close to being the most fun date of them all! But at first I wasn't a fan as
Hikaru was often the center of the singles after the name change from Keya to Sakura, thought a few first generation members were more deserving. But as time went on
Hikaru really began to grow on me, a big reason was watching her on the group's 'Soko' variety show and noticed what an interesting young woman she was.
Hikaru is so talented at drawing plus like most Idols is really into mangas and Animes. She's also a darn good actress, I thought she did a superb job in the "Borderless" and "Actress" shows..... when was the last time Keya had a group drama or one with Hina? So over the years I've come to really like
Hikaru who did become my 'secret crush' which is no longer a secret(!) and I'm so curious at what she's like in real life. As far as the title goes this is
Hikaru's twelfth solo post, her first eight were so unpopular often had a title like the one above for those posts. As a matter of fact
Hikaru may have been the most unpopular woman here but things have changed over the last year and wonder why? Her new posts have been drawing a decent amount of views and her older posts have seen a nice increase as readers have been checking those out.
Made the intro longer than planned so let's get to things as today's second post will take longer.
Hikaru is now 25 in age, she celebrated that birthday on July 10th and have heard no rumors of her leaving Keya(Sakura) which I hope doesn't happen for a while. As a whole Keya has become a much more stable group and almost all of the second generation members are still there but that could be changing soon as eight are 25+ in age. First up for
Hikaru are these photos from her IG page since the beginning of August, she also has them at the group's 'Diary' blog and the bottom two are my favorites.
This is
Hikaru's third post for 2026 or one every three months which isn't a frantic pace but I can live with it. Her last post was done exactly two months ago and since then there haven't been any new Keya group cards released, those have seen such a decrease the last few years for all three '46' groups'. But there are some older cards that had never been posted such as these Summer tour cards that go backwards from 2025 to 2023. Keya's 16th single since the name change to Sakura is titled "AI Must be Me" and will be released on October 14th. Would like to have another solo post for a different member(
Rena) and hope to be doing that in the second half of October so will have more info on the single then.
In February 2021
Hikaru began as a model for the
ar magazine and had so many fabulous photos with them in that 5 1/2 stretch. However there haven't been any new pictures at their site since the beginning of July which are the ones below and hope that doesn't mean she's left them as a FT model.
I had a strong feeling this post would be done today a few weeks back as on September 19th, Saturday, there was a huge 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show.
Hikaru has appeared at almost every one since 2020 and expected this post to have some superb photos from the show which didn't work out as
Hikaru didn't make an appearance! Don't know why as there were a few other Keya members there and that did disappoint me to an extent. That's because
Hikaru has always looked so darn good at those shows, the below ones are from the March 4, 2023
TGC show.
It's a requirement for any solo post for a Keya/Sakura gal to have photos with their all time member!
Yui was at the Saturday
TGC show but hasn't been doing much else lately though will still have a post for her within the week.
For the finale have this recent magazine spread from the July 29th issue of
Weekly Sunday Shonen.
Hikaru was their cover girl and for that magazine bet she's had the honor at least a dozen times but I'd like to see her start appearing in more or different magazines. After the smallish spread have a new video and it's with someone I never expected to see
Hikaru with. Who is my current favorite Nogi member
Haruka and the pair are promoting a new trading card game called Build Divide, the duo are their group's ambassadors. When you view the video there's a link to the trading card game site and there you can find out anything you need to know about the game plus there's other videos.
