Yuki Yoda: A little bit of this and that!!!!

 

 It was about five yeas ago when I did a few posts for the 'Nogi 46 Hours' special show which aired twice a year and was very entertaining. Most of the segments focus on a member and is the best part of the show to me as you got to know the gals much better. Such as Yuki and in the group's June 2020 special show she cut her hair for the first time in five years and right above is a pic from her first magazine spread after shearing off those long tresses. To me Yuki looks so much better with hair about that length as it also makes her look a bit older, her hair has grown a bit longer since then but not at the length it was once at. My favorite bit of that long segment was while her hair was getting cut walking in were two older Nogi mates. Yuki got to talking to them how she had turned twenty the prior month(she's now 25) and had taken an instant liking to BEER so she takes after Nao in doing to and so doesn't the gal in the following post!

 I am so glad I began to post about Yuki again after going two years without doing so and that was because of a minor scandal she was involved in but that blew over quickly. This now makes it six posts for 2025 so for the third time she's qualified for the yearly faves list, no current member will end up reaching six posts. However she is the third graduate to do so and a fourth also has a possibility, what's odd is that none of those four are among the more popular members of the first two generations. Many are still busy but seem to do so little besides appearing in dramas. Not so for Yuki and have a nice variety of things for today and the new pics total up to be at least seventy. If Yuki can remain just semi-busy with say having one mag spread and an event appearance per month don't know why she couldn't have a post each month for the rest of the year though it's much harder than it sounds.

 

 Whew, that above is one of my top ever Nogi photos and enjoy these gravure ones from years past for I wouldn't be shocked if we never saw any more in that vein. Many times have moaned about how bad my memory has become or least for recent things, can recall everything from a decade ago but not ten minutes! A few times have said how I would recap seasons two and three of Yuki's "Ryosanagata Riko" series but like too many other things keep forgetting! Have both seasons and will get to it the second somewhat soon as the first season was such an enjoyable show but let me tackle a few other series first. The franchise will continue on even if Yuki won't be in it and wonder if she was asked to do a fourth season and declined? A new takeoff for the series began ten days ago and does star my current fave Nogi member so if it does get subbed will be viewing that show.

 There's little doubt that Yuki has some sweltering curves and especially in the upper part of her body! We all know that well but I kind of prefer her regular modeling pics such as those right above and will have some recent photos in that vein a bit further down. Let's get to things and have noticed my intros to posts seem to be getting longer which could be a Plus as it means a few extra pics and try to tell all fans of any current activities. First up for newish things are these photos from her IG page and not all that many, think it's because she now has a fan club and posts most pics there. Was speaking of Yuki's prior drama above and the bottom three pics are from her new web drama that airs on Bump-TV, "Cunning, Cute and Shrewd". It does star another fave of mine but haven't found it which means even when I do it won't be subbed. The other are regular IG pics and for so long have noticed how Yuki tends to put her hands to her face in some sort of Cutish Style, don't know if that makes sense but below are some examples of that and it has been that way for years.

 Like most ex-Idols will have some older group cards and this batch is brand new for here. Try to have plenty of cards for the month we're in but for some reason Yuki had so few of them and that's not common as Summer cards are usually the most plentiful. So also added in some cards for Nogi's March 2022 single "Naturally", correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Yuki just co-center one single and have no solo centers?

 Yuki is a model for two sites, one is for the Bis magazine but didn't check to see if there were any new pics for today as this post is large enough. So those modeling pics will be in her August post and vow to try my darndest to have one a month for her. Today's modeling pics are from the Maquia site and these are the kinds of photos I mentioned above where Yuki doesn't need to dress skimpy to grab my attention but then again it sure does help!

 Gulp, in a surprise that was Yuki making that comment and not her Nogi mate! That was from the group's "Zambi" drama and that was one fun show, we see so few dramas these days from any Idol groups. Did say above how we may never see Yuki do any more gravure photo shoots and her popularity is high enough where she doesn't need to do them. So hopefully that doesn't mean a huge decrease in magazine spreads and do have a brand new one for today as she's the cover girl for the July 23rd issue of Weekly Shonen.

 That being Yuki's only new spread let's have an encore viewing of an older Weekly Shonen mag and this set is from their August 16, 2023 edition though it's the mag's Sunday version....

 On June 1st posted Yuki's overly alluring third photobook which came out in February and had the simple title of "Yoda". It's currently tenth in that section for most popular posts of the past month and I was shocked it never made it to #1 in that section. I prefer her second book but then again this third one is awful darn close to bei.ng as tremendous and have the link to it in case you haven't seen it, do recommend checking it out for it may be her final set of gravure pics: "Yoda" photobook scans 

 Will end off with an activity which I hope she does more of in the future. On July 3rd Yuki was at a new pop-up store opening in Omotesando Crossing Park for Jo Malone and they're a British brand. I really like the way she looked at this event, did say in the beginning how she had cut her hair five years ago and as you can see it's become longish again but not to the extent it was once at. At the event Yuki said she had finally started to study up for her drivers license, another goal this Summer was to go skydiving! Have plenty of super duper pics below from the event, following them is a video from it and it's worth checking out as Nogi's management never allows these kinds of videos for current members and I've always wondered why not????
