Yuumi Shida: Few new mag spreads plus a tad more....
Yumemiru Adolescence has been a fave group of mine for a few years but will admit had forgotten all about them until a request came for a Yuumi post two days ago. They've released three singles the past year but as a group they've flown under the radar, until recently there's been hardly any mag spreads or events featuring the members.
Do have their 'Best Of' album plus a live one which is quite good, need to start listening to them again. At the top is YA's latest single "Melon Soda" which was released on July 25th, it reached #12 on the charts but as I recall there happened to be a lot of competition right around that time. It's a fairly good song though their earlier ones may be a bit better, wish there was a concert version of the tune as that's where the group really shines.
On to Yuumi and like I mentioned a viewer did request a post for her, if I like the person usually I'll try to fulfill a request. Did have a post(s) for her about two years ago but ended up deleting them, Yuumi was eighteen at the time which is old enough but was trying to clean things up as these days only have solo posts for gals who are twenty or older.
Yuumi is 21 and will be turning a year older next February 11th and so many Idols seem to have been born that month. Like so many of the YA members Yuumi was so quiet for such a long time, think she went well over a year without appearing in a mag but have two new spreads for today. May do another member post as someone just released a photobook, think Yuumi deserves another and you'll agree once you see her spreads. But first up are four Instagram pics, she hardly posted any at all before November as these are from the past few weeks.
That is snow in the bottom pic which was taken last weekend. The location was Morioka which is in the northern part of Japan and that region does get quite a bit of snow but perhaps not as much as where I reside. Yuumi was in the city to attend an event at the Aeon mall where she was chosen as a campaign speaker for protecting Intellectual theft and Internet piracy. Morioka is in the prefecture of Iwake which is where Yuumi is from.
Don't know why there was a long absence from Yuumi appearing in magazine but do have a pair terrific sets for today. Kind of thinking she may have her second PB coming out though haven't heard any news of it yet but those books never have much of an advance warning. First superb spread is from the October 26th issue of Friday.
Yuumi also had a spread in their November 9th edition but the pics were the same save for one. So on to the final set which is from issue #50 of WPB, still think these pics could be from an upcoming PB and she's joined by another member from YA.
