Keyakizaka46: The historical first mollitious 'Yui Kobayashi post'!!!!


 Whew, if a pic like that doesn't get your blood boiling then nothing will, whew again and again....

 Have always had Yui's pics in group posts but those kinds are an impossibility these days. Last one was done on March 3rd and since then there's been zero things for the group or members save for four of them. Wonder what's going on with Keya as I find it so odd that there's been no group mag spreads, nor have they appeared at any events and for the most part seemed to have disappeared. Have heard of members taking breaks but not 17 out of 21 members at once. Actually the slowdown started at the beginning of March which was one week after the release of their eighth single. Wish I could give an answer to why they've been so quiet but I'm also in the dark on that.
 As mentioned do like to keep Yui's pics in group posts and though she's been a bit quiet too as of late have accumulated over seventy brand new pics the past three months. Back in March Yui released her first photobook which just sold a so-so amount of copies. What was shocking to me was that there were no mag spreads to promote it, it was shocking because in 2018 no member appeared in more mag spreads then she did. If you heart as recovered from the above pic then....

 Wow, who would have imagined the hotness of Yui, certainly not me but bet by now she's gained a few more fans. If not then have a few more photobook pics that will undoubtedly increase the ET visitors from other galaxies who are also in amazement....


 Title of the PB is 'Kanjo no Kozu" which came out on March 13th. Total sales are a bit disappointing to me as copies sold to date have only been about 45,000, over 30 K was sold in week one. With such tremendous pics can't understand why there were zero mag spreads to promote the PB, especially seeing as how Yui must have been in 25 or more spreads in 2018. To me that's a main reason why sales were lower than expected though there was a Twitter page set up for it. There has been one recent spread from May and it's volume 132 of Marquee.





 Sadly that's been Yui's only spread in the past four months, let's hope we see much more of her and other Keya members the second half of this year. There were a couple of interviews done around the time the PB came out, these pics are from 'TheTV'jp' site.











 There was also a fan meeting session held on the day the PB came out which was March 13th, the event was held at the HMV bookstore in Shibuya.












 So many Keya and Nogi members are exclusive models these days for too many clothing brands and magazines to count. Quite a few of them have been doing 'OL' campaigns and nothing wrong with that as they all look super duper dressed as a professional. With magazine has five members between the two groups as exclusive models and Yui is one of them naturally or wouldn't have brought it up. She's also an 'OL' model and these are recent pics which are all terrific.









 Yui always makes an appearance these days at the huge fashion shows, she looks okay at them though a bit drab at times but don't think they get to choose their attire. On May 20th she was at the Spring/Summer' Girls Award' show and took a stroll on the 'Maison de FLEUR' stage.


















 We've finally made it to the end and have a few more pics from the photobook to end off with. Not all are from the book as some are from the photo shoot and the pics for the book were taken in Britain, seems 3/4 of the Idols who have books travel to Europe and why not. Top three are the covers for the PB.
