Noooo.... Zuumin

Well Techi is the queen for a reason

Sobs goodbye Subaru

Damn, either way constantly missing members is never a good sign If I'm not wrong, Kohaku 2017 was the last time Kanji Keya had a full line-up

Damn I was always seeing her solo activities pictures (magazine photoshoots and stuff) on my newsfeed and had no idea they are holding her back now.

Techi is back but Zuumin is missing...

Tbh I'm too used to seeing Yuipon and Zuumin together, so I would only see the possibility of them being double center. First their Nazi outfit in 2016 and now this, hard not to think that Keya staff is doing this deliberately

Well, this is a very very hard question especially for Kanji Keya. If I would have to push a guess, then its Neru.

I would rather have a solo center than a W-center though. W-center feels a bit meh to me compared to solo-centers

I think Techi would either not be in this single altogether or have just a solo song. Either way this 7th single is going to be a huge shake-up for Keya

LOL it is, good catch

Maiyan with Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra!

When I first saw the postcard I thought Yonetani Nanami was Sashihara Rino lol

Everybody's wish

Not too sure, they're having a Japan tour in August though. So any new song would probably be after that

Same I prefer Nanase with short hair

Only for a limited time

Well even the 2nd gen is coming in. Either way this year is a year of change and shake-up for Keya whether in terms of 21-lineup, Techi, Hiragana or 2nd gen coming in, and the management would need to tread these grounds carefully. This year could potentially determine if Keya can continue rising and distinguish itself from the other Aki-p idol groups or slowly settle like the other 48 sister groups.

Well, since Hiragana is created for Neru and then she was promoted to Kanji, the notion of Hiragana being a W-Group instead of an Under Girls Group is going to take quite some time to stick. Moreover, the W-Group concept is new (very different from AKB sister group concept or 48/46 rival group concept) so this new concept is going to baffle most of the fandom and I guess even the management is still dealing with issues as they come along. For me personally, I see Hiragana as a separate group (or like a 48 sister group system if I were to use something I'm familiar with), so I would prefer Hiragana to have their own releases, concerts and activities, and maybe some collaborations with Kanji. Thus, if the next Keya single is a full Hiragana senbatsu with Kanji as the B-side I will certainly be bumped. Of course, like any rational fan, being bumped or pissed is one thing but hating or being anti is something I won't go into lol. (Takes too much effort)

I will be quite pissed though, I dont mind a Hiragana debut or them launching their own activities but not at the expense of Kanji.

What is Aki-p and the management thinking?!

In Hiragana I only know of Kosaka Nao and Watanabe Miho lol
