Keyakizaka46: 2018 Magazine scans #9....


 That's the lineup for Keya's sixth single which will be released on March 7th, still no covers or promo pics for it yet but the announcement was just made earlier in the week. Title of it is 'Glass wo Ware" and think there's a few snippets of it on YT but haven't heard any of them, prefer to wait until the full single is available.
 As you can see no surprises in the lineup as all the Kanji members are the Senbatsus, don't think we'll ever see a Hiragana member get promoted. But on the bright side have heard news they'll have their own album coming out soon and it should be much better than Nogi's Undergirls album. All of the tunes off that were very good but it was mainly a greatest hits album while the one for Hiragana will probably consist of many new songs. While no surprises on who is on Keya's single there was a nice delight which is that Minami has gotten promoted to the front row. Haven't heard much from her recently and there's no doubt she needs to stop working so much OT at her new job....



 On to the spreads, been a bit slowish lately for them but with the new single coming out there soon will be a deluge of them. Like Nogi have been wanting to do more solo posts and the last few were but no member recently has had enough things to post about. First off is from the March issue of Men's Non-no and it's a shame there's only one page for each of the gals. The next 'Girls Awards' show will be taking place about three weeks after the single's release and we should see many members at it. Seeing the first pic jogged my memory of the event as the world needs to see so much more of Risa who will be at the show.








 Second set features Yui I. who is has been an exclusive model for ar since August, these are from their March edition. The pic at the top for the lineup has Yui right next to the center which is her first time there, previous single she was in the back row.







 Not to outdone the other Yui has the other side of the center position and she shares this spread with Neru which is from the March issue of Bis which is kind of an odd looking set of pics.







 In less than two months Neru's first photobook has sold around 150,000(!!!!) copies, that's an incredible figure and talking about the sales and not Neru though it's true she does. 😅 Very surprising then that Neru is in the second row for the new single, to me she could be Keya's most popular member and know she is here. Once again Neru shares a spread with Yui and this is one fine collection of pics from the March/April edition of CM Now.

  1. Man, I seem to be losing my groove with the 46 groups(not with the pics tho!! Even with somewhat old ones like the featured post up there, wooo boi) My liking to their music is going in a wave, more downs than ups tho which is a shame.
