Yuki Kashiwagi: The massive 'A little bit of this that' post....
Hard to believe this is Yuki's first post in six months and it's also hard to believe this is only her 65th one overall, just seems the total should be so much higher. It's been well over a year since a big fave of mine has cracked the 100 post milestone and can't see anyone doing that in the near future. Yuki has been a bit quiet for those six months but since the beginning of October her activities have increased and would expect her to have at least one more post before the end of the year.
Yuki didn't miss my 'All Time Top Twenty Faves' list by that much, had it been a top 25 she would have found a spot. Next month Yuki will celebrate her 12th anniversary as a AKB member and she holds the record for being in the group the longest. She had failed her first pair of auditions with the group but eventually made it on her third attempt.
History could have been so different for AKB as she had also tried out for Morning Musume but didn't make it past the third round of auditions in 2006. Yuki still is a member of AKB and does appear on their singles but doesn't do that many group activities these days as she's also part of the spin off group NGT who have had four singles to date.
On to the many new things and what I'm looking forward to is Yuki appearing in a drama. She'll have the lead role in the series "Kono Koi wa Tsumi na no kai?" which begins on December 2nd, it's a mini series with just four episodes. Really enjoyed her in the 2013 drama "Mielino Kashiwagi" and she also had the lead role in that show.
The drama is about the game of Shogi which is a Japanese version of Chess. Pics here are from an interview for the show with the Oricon site. Hopefully the new drama will be subbed and if it is will definitely be recapping the series.
Yuki has a new solo single that's coming out on December 5th though it's just a digital one. Title of it is "Sokkenai Kimi" and these are some promo pics for it. At the end of January she'll also be starting her second solo mini tour.
Hope you enjoy AKB/NGT cards as there's plenty of recent ones for today.
Yuki does a fairly good job at uploading pics to her Instagram account. These are all from the past month or so and the bottom two could be her final ones with her good friend from NMB.
Know everyone will really enjoy this next batch of pics of Yuki as she's now an exclusive model for Ravijour lingerie and these are all new pics since August.... whewwwwwwwwww!!!!
Have a pair of brand new mag spreads which are of course ultra fabulous. Yuki has really slowed down on her mag appearances the last two years though her spreads are still second to none. She's the cover girl for both sets and this first one is from the December 11th edition of Young Champion.
Shame there haven't been more Yuki photobooks, she's only had two with the last one coming out in 2012; She still looks tremendous so a new PB would easily be better than 99% of the Idol books that have come out the past two years though all of them have been sensational too. Final set for today is from the December 10th issue of Big Comic Spirits, last four pics are from the photo shoot. After the amazing pics check out a behind the scenes video.
