Sugai Yuuka (Yukka) / 1st Generation

^ and perhaps Akane as well I know some fans are torn between the Yukkanen and Habu-Yukka ship

 

So, is Yuuka double-dipping then? LOL

 

Double-dipping, you say?!

 

yuuka will be the cover girl for Shonen Champion's july 11 issue, which will be released on june 27. the issue comes with a mini keyaki photobook.

 

Sugai-sama is the Equestrian Special Ambassador for the 3rd year in a row! Congratulations~
Her blog: http://www.keyakizaka46.com/s/k46o/diary/detail/29772?ima=0000&cd=member
Equestrian Fan Site: http://atozinba.com/

Yukka's handling the FAQs for the site about various aspects of horseriding. If she was to name a horse, she'd call it Keyakkiii (ケヤッキー) and it'd be brown with white spots on the forehead that look like keyaki tree leaves

These pictures are just some from the FAQ page (http://atozinba.com/faq/) but there's a lot more around the site

Why does her jacket say Kentucky on it?

 

Is it a brand? Though so far I found only kentucky jacket for men where the name is clearly visible and stuff for horses (but I think that's another Kentucky brand altogether)

 

Kentucky is a state in the US.

 

Could it be...Kentucky Derby?

 

I'm aware of it... lol
but when it's a name on a jacket it may also be something else, like @Jsprite says up here
Why even ask the question?

 

Lol, did someone really point out that Kentucky is a state?
Definitely think it's just a brand thing.

Congrats to our captain for maintaining her ambassador position. Guess we can look forward to more equestrian-related blog posts from her

Gotta say, I love how she keeps spreading that Keyaki love even during her solo promotions. ケヤッキー is a such a cute name

 

Yukka has written a blog post about Kakizaki Memi and her graduation. She says what a hard worker she is, what a professional, how cute, and how overpowering an actress, especially in a scene in Zambi where Yukka and Memi were both part of a scuffle, and Memi slammed into Yukka so hard, with such a going-for-it look in her eyes. Yukka was able to withstand the charge, but the eyes.... The photo was taken after the last national handshake mini-live the two groups shared, at a little wrap-up party they had together.



This is posted in Memi's thread, but I decided to post an abridged version here, too, without unrelated things about Memi that I included there.

 

Very funny episode of Keyakitte. It is a double-whammy when your sexiest member () also happens to be (arguably) the most beautiful.

 

Agreed! Really enjoyed that episode, reminded me of the Keyabingo china dress Sugai-sama.

Sugai-sama's smile is so refreshing, but it must really suck to be her boyfriend - she wants you to eat like a horse (ganbariki!) while she also eats a lot but does not get a flabby ounce on her.

I'm kidding - it will not suck.

 

That'll be some lucky guy!

 

Anyone else catch Yuuka's new haircut on the FNS perf? She looks so great with the shorter hair. She said she chopped off >10 cm, must've felt refreshing.




I am also obsessed with her recent BLT senpai/kouhai pairing shoot with Ten-chan.


Now, is this cute or what? They look like mother and child (': More pics here.

 

Yukka-sama new posters from AEON x Keyakizaka campaign.
