Keyakizaka46: The first and last(?) mega 'Yui Imaizumi post'....



 This certainly isn't the first time Yui has appeared in a post as she's probably had more mag spreads than any other Keya member the past year though this is her first solo one. Said 'last' in the title as Yui will be leaving Keya soon but in a way it seems she left them months ago. Back in August Yui announced her graduation but so far no exact date has been set yet. But to me she's no longer an official member as she didn't sing on Keya's last single though she did have a solo song, she also didn't participate in the group's Summer tour.
 Maybe Yui is still with them loosely so they can have a farewell concert(s) for her that'll be on DVD, so few of the group's shows have been. To me Yui may have the second most attractive face in Keya but the main reason for not posting about her was because of her age but she turned twenty a week ago though still doesn't look it. To celebrate(?) her departure from Keya Yui's first photobook was released today, much more on that coming up. She's the fourth member to have a PB following these three, the middle gal has the best one so far which was my #1 book for 2017. That bottom pic above is a promo one from the PB, wow.... some of you may be saying that too shortly....




 Know the new book will easily be number one on next week's charts and probably will end up being a massive seller, those three books above have sold a combined total of over 350,000 copies. Yui is a bit of a thin gal but seems like her weight is in the right place, these are also from the PB and you can see if she uh, er, stacks up well against her rivals.





 Wow(!!!!), bet some fans are shocked with those pics but bet no ones complaining!!!! Yui plans on concentrating on her acting career and she has appeared in two dramas outside of Keya's. Think it may have been wiser for her to stick with the group a bit longer, she is a very popular Keya member but don't think many have heard of her outside of their fans. One other thing that may hurt her is her height as she just stands 154 cm and very few if any popular actresses are that short. On to some current happenings and these pics are from an interview last week with Oricon Style.






 These are from Keya's blog and as you can see she signed her photobooks on the same day as she had her above interview.








 On to some mag spreads and don't think this set from the June issue of EX-Taishu has been seen here as there have been very few posts for Keya mag scans the past four months.










 On to a few spreads promoting Yui's photobook, these are from the October 2nd issue of SPA!.





 Last set for today is from WPB #41 but she did say on her blog there will be at least two more magazines she'll be appearing in very soon for the PB.








 Few more pics from the PB, think most of it will feature more conservative pics like these. Like every Idol book it has the mandatory 'brushing your teeth' pics....









 Title for Yui's first and possibly only photobook is "Dare mo Shiranai Watashi" and the pics for it were shot in Naples, Italy. The PB was released today and there was a fan greeting session for it at the Fukuya Bookstore in Shinjuku. Plenty of terrific pics here from the event though there's no video for it yet, will add one in when and if it comes out. Yui does look ultra fine in these pics, wonder if for some reason her Keya mates ever gave her the nickname of Yama?
