Keyakizaka46 member greeting cards for July 2017

Here are the members' greeting cards for July, in Japanese alphabetical order (i.e., kana order).

Best Satou Shiori card yet, in my opinion. The kanji for "physical strength" or "stamina" portrayed as people, with the lower one kicking off her loafer (as in the Eccentric choreography). Nijika also refers to physical strength: the members all know this will be a tough summer.

Another great card from Koike Minami, and Kobayashi Yui just gets better and better. I'm beginning to get used to Fuu-chan's cards featuring a pig that seems to be her self-image. I still wish it weren't.

A new manga from Naako, showing Mii-chan putting on one of those big down coats they wear to keep warm...and finding candies in the pocket, left by a previous wearer.

Hirate does another of her terrible "master painter" portraits of this month's birthday girls: Risa and Habu.

Memi and Neru both ask what people's wishes are on Tanabata -- then both say their own wishes are secret. Both these people have a natural inclination to tease. Saitou Kyouko says her own wish is that Hiragana Keyaki becomes a group everyone loves.

Higashimura Mei's card is pretty and charming. I like Sasaki Mirei's, too, but I do wonder what Hikoboshi is doing to/with Orihime at the lower left.
