Keyakizaka46 shrine visit group photos -- Kanji and Hiragana -- with names

Keyakizaka46 -- Kanji and Hiragana, with all their generations -- made the group's traditional first shrine visit of the year a few days ago. It was to the Ookunitama Jinja shrine, in western Tokyo.

The visit was briefly reported on the Keyakizaka website, with more info in the manager's blog that goes out only to fanclub members in Japan.

This seemed to me a good opportunity to learn the new members a bit better, as well as to have a record of what the whole group looks like now. Group photos of Kanji, Hiragana, and of the two together.

The separate Gana and Kanji photos were taken just outside the great Torii gate (大國魂神社 大鳥居, 35.669813, 139.479063) at the north end of the temple area, by the two sacred keyaki trees there. The full-group photo was taken in front of the main prayer hall in the heart of the shrine. This is an historic shrine in the western Tokyo area.

The manager's blog apparently includes a picture of Memi and Hirate together, with Memi embracing her and Hirate smilingly showing restraint. 

Here are three other shots from the event, showing three groups of members:
