Yui Kobayashi: Her transcendent monthly post for May!!!!
Here's someone I've kept a promise for and have actually gone beyond that as she had two posts for March so this is Yui's sixth for the year already. Did this one a bit early as with any luck she'll once again have a second post for this month, have the makings of that second one and just hoping for a new mag spread or two to come along. Good thing she and one other member have been busy the past few months or there would have been zero Keya posts, think their last group one was seven weeks ago and it could be that long until their next group one.
Yesterday was talking about the new yearly rule which is that you now need to be 22 in age to be introduced. But if I've been posting about that person will 'grandfather' them in and continue to have some tremendous posts for them. Starting in 2017 began increasing by one year the age limit, was going to hold it at 21 but decided against it but there's no one I'm aware of who is less than 22 who I've wanted to post about.
But that means the age to qualify for the yearly faves list should be increased too, there's only one mega fave that would be affected and of course it's Yui. She'll be 21 when I start the list in November so luckily have a long time to make a decision. Kind of think I will make her eligible for if I keep increasing the age limit Yui will always be a year short, actually about ten months. But I do like her immensely and she does seem older than her years so for now will say she'll be eligible.
Do want to have another Keya solo post in two weeks and think that'll be possible, that's for a huge fave member who will be the first gal in the group to turn 25, she may hit thirty before their next single is released! There's so few pics for this pairing, obviously you know who will turning 25 on May 16th....
There is a slowdown on every activity in Japan and that includes magazines now as they've cut back in half the amount of issues they have. But that didn't affect Keya's appearances too much as they already had been slowing to a crawl and that's because of no new music in almost fifteen months. Yui though is quite popular outside of the group so there's always many new things to include in these posts. However event pics aren't possible due to the ban and the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' Spring/Summer show was cancelled and also think the 'Girls Award' show was too. So have some pics from last year's TGC Spring/Summer show, she took one solo stroll and one with the group promoting their Aeon Keya credit card.
All of Yui's posts for this year have included promo cards for the group's mobile 'Keyakise' game, plenty more for today and the majority came out from mid 2018 to the end of last year.
That next post plan on having many screenshots from episode #227 of 'Keyakitte' as Yui was the main focus of the show and it was a very entertaining one. Think future shows may be repeats as they're not filming these days because of the health crisis, Nogi has the same problem. Screenshots for today are from episode six of the "Joshikousei no mudazukai" drama and her dazzling character's name was Lily. One subbing group had just done subs for her appearances but now another team has picked it up and will be subbing all seven episodes. So will be recapping that series once they're done and it will make the events finally tie together instead of just viewing selected scenes.
Just one new mag spread for today, as mentioned there's been a huge slowdown on them recently but may have another one for her next post. Yui had to share the cover and spread with a newbie member in the May issue of EX-Taishu but I do like this newer member, just have her pics from the spread.
For the first three months of the year Yui had more pics at the With Online site then any of their models but there weren't as many for April.
Hope to have Yui's June spread for With in that next post. She shares it with a fave Nogi member of mine and one of these days may have a 'pairs post' for the alluring duo, highly recommend viewing the promo video for their spread which is after the pics. That top one rates as A++++ but love Yui's expression so much in the final pic.
