Yui Kobayashi: Forget her being the ninth wonder of the world.... she's of course NUMBER ONE!!!!
Number one to me though I wonder if any of the other male human feels that way, have a sad feeling it could be no but in a way that's a positive as it means less competition! It's another slow day for the women I try to do posts for but even if there was someone I could have done a post for would have put that on hold until tomorrow! Who knows why and I'm certainly not complaining but when I woke up today the one thing I wanted to do more than anything else was a post for Yui, when I want to do a post so badly for someone nothing will or can stop me.... and especially for Yui!!!!😍
Yui looks like a Gazillion/10 in all of her photos such as the one right above but will admit I wouldn't mind seeing a few new gravure pics. The odds are against that happening and one massive reason for that thought is that her two photobooks were so dazzling and even if she had some sort of digital book with regular modeling pics that'd be okay with me as she deserves a bit more exposure. Even though I had that urge when I arose today to do this post there hadn't been much going on with Yui the past few weeks but there should be soon. Even with a slowish period have twenty new photos from the past ten days and at least twenty older photos that are new for here. Plus have some golden oldie encore viewing of pictures that should be new to most reading this and one reason is that Yui's posts garner so few views. That's the case for the other woman she's duking it out with to me my #1 of All Time and hope I'm no jinx for either....
Gulp, guess that Genie in a lamp heard my ultimate wish but I'm not greedy and don't need a trio of Yui's 😍 but then again..... gulp. Yui had a six month hiatus after graduating from Keya in early February 2024 but has slowly been getting busier by the month, this makes it fifteen consecutive months with a post and she holds the record with 22. In a way wish Yui was a tad busier but all in all there's nothing wrong with one post a month and because of her consistency Yui 😍 has moved up to being my #1 of all time and she reached that honor 2-3 months ago, can she keep it until my ultimate Queen is announced in late September? I'll say yes but if I do include Korean women on the list then Yui would have two rivals battling it out with, hope all three are reading this and increase their activities so the posts begin to come fast and furious for them!
Photos like those two right above are so darn fabulous, did say I wish we could see a few more gravure pics from Yui but a whole digital book with photos such as those would certainly make my day! Those are from the andGirl site and Yui has been a model with them since March 2023 but there's been a huge decrease in photos for them this year. Below are five new ones and that's been it for the last two months but that second pic is truly out of this world!
Yui's last post was done just twenty days ago so that's why there won't be too many recent photos. But do have another brand new batch below from her Yousti IG site, that's the name Yui uses when she's performing music and that career to date has been successful. The first eight below are from a streaming fan club session Yui did two weeks ago and did notice that she wore glasses for the semi-event. She looks darn good wearing those and nice to see Yui's not that self conscious unlike too many others. The two photos before the bottom one were from a very mini get together on May 4th and it was at the Japanese Night in Yokohama. On May 29th there will be a special movie night at the Theater Shinjuku which will feature experimental short films. Yui will be in one titled "For My Grief" and she'll have one of the two lead roles. I don't know much about the film yet but will dig up more info for Yui's next post and because the premiere will be on May 29th may have her lead off June for that next post.
That photo right above is from the film and there is no trailer on YT for it yet. In that batch above did say that Yui was clad in glasses and think that's only been the second time she's wore them in public. The other was way back in October 2017 at the 30th 'Best Glasses Wearers' ceremony and there's always big time names at those award shows. Keya46 won the J-Pop Idol award for it's members looking the best wearing Megane which is the Japanese word for glasses. Below are some fine looking pics from the ceremony and after them is a video from it, all five were huge faves of mine and of course Yui still is but haven't done a post for anyone else in at least two years.
"Game of Life" was the title of Yui's aka Yousti first single, it sold over 12,000 copies in week number one which to me sounds like a decent number and it came out at the end of March. Last August she released her first mini album so hope new music comes out on a consistent basis, wish she rocked out more but the songs are catchy and the videos have been been very entertaining. Will go back in time for the rest of the post and this mini set are cards for the 'Keya Kise' web game and came out in 2018. These are all brand new for here and do have a few more but want to hold on to them for future posts. All three '46' groups have terrific cards but these for the game are my favorites.
Wonder if we'll ever see Yui have another magazine spread, she had about two dozen from 2018-21 but only two after the left Keya. It being May have this spread for the year's fifth month that's from 2021 and the With magazine, a spread doesn't need gravure photos to be tremendous and all of Yui's for the magazine were so superb.
Yui was a With model from July 2018 until June 2023 so about five years. What I discovered at the magazine's site were some even older pics before Yui became a FT model for them and those are new for here, as a matter of fact all of these may have never been in a post. The top two and bottom four are from March 2018 while the others are from July of that year when she became a model for them.
Was going to have another two sections to this post but will stop here, it's good to save a few things as you never know when they may be handy for future posts. Will end off with some beyond perfect photos of Yui 😍 and she has no other kind(!) but do post some of these too often. Which is why I had talked about her having new gravure pics but then again I never get tired of gaping at these, WOWOWOW! As Yousti she released a new version of the "Game of Life" video a week ago and that's after the photos. I'm not sure if you can embed Yousti music videos but others I've been able to and if I didn't come back to edit this post you know it worked. This new version is a bit more techno and danceable than the original version and Yui did write the lyrics for this and the other two songs on the single.
