In the 3 1/2 month period from mid-January until May 1st Yui had six(!) solo posts as my goal was to have one of these kinds of posts every month for her. That didn't work out as this is her first regular post since May 1st but she did have one exactly a month ago for her 2019 photobook. And what a popular post that's been as it's been in the top ten for views since that time and is the third most viewed post for the second half of the year which began on June 1st. Even though there's been a slowdown on her posts there's no way Yui won't make this year's faves list, if she can get back to being busy again a top five position isn't out of the question.
As I've mentioned a few times don't want to gripe about the state of Keya in these solo posts and there's been so few of them lately. Just irritates so much that a management team can be so incompetent, to me no blame for all of this pending confusion or such belongs to the members but sadly they're the ones who too often have to take the blame. Often say an Idol should wait to graduate from their group, they're only young once so why not enjoy the experience plus how many go on to successful careers?
Whew, is she hot or what(!), whew a few more million times..... Not many do have successful careers but have a feeling that Yui could and she's a rarity as I think it'd be wiser for her to leave Keya. That wouldn't happen for a few more months as the group will be performing their 'final concert' in October. Not a true final concert but the last one with the Keya name. Yui's popularity is quite high, perhaps the highest of any member so if she decided to venture out on her own I think it'd be a wise move. She has been doing more acting as she was in a drama earlier this year plus will be in a film titled "Sakura" which is scheduled to come out this Autumn. We'll just have to wait to see what happens but to me Yui is one of the most likable Idols and it's so easy to root for her.
Gulp, looks like she's someone you better please on her wedding night.....
Have well over a hundred pics for today which are all new for here but only about half are current ones from the past two or so months. Keya as a group has done so little this year, obviously the crisis in Japan has played a part in that but they weren't all that busy before and that's a huge reason for the lack of member solo posts. Let's get to the new pics for today and will begin off with some promo cards for their 'Keyakise' app game, the cards are from 2019 but are new for here.
There's going to be a 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show on September 5th, it'll be their first major one since February 29th. Unsure if Yui and some of her Keya mates will be there but would think so as they usually make an appearance at the shows plus perhaps they'll perform their new digital single which is coming out in three weeks, it'll be the group's final one under the Keya name. As has been the case for all of her posts since that last TGC show there's no new event pics so will go back in time with these ultra kawaii pics from the Spring 2019 TGC show held in March of that year.
At one time Yui had to appear in two or more mags a month but that hasn't been the case for the past year and wonder why there's been a slowdown? She hasn't had a regular solo spread since January but at least appears in most monthly issues of With. Have some pics here from their June issue which were only in a Nogi post and it features a big fave of mine from the group. They've done a few other pictorials for the mag and would like to see them together in something different.
This set is from the July/August edition of With. Do have their September spread but will hold on to it as I don't want to see another big gap between posts.
Plenty of fine pics from the With Online site that came out in May and June.
And even more pics from the With Online site that have come out in the last two weeks, if Yui decides to graduate hope she signs up with a few more mags or sites.
Haven't been viewing the 'Keyakitte' show too often lately as they were doing a remote version of it which wasn't as interesting but think they're back to doing regular filming of it. Yui was the featured member of a pair of shows, #235 that aired at the end of April. Also #227 that aired on March 3rd and didn't view it until yesterday as I wanted to include them in a post. Won't go into too many details as you can see what took place in the many screenshots. But what it boiled down to was that the staff felt she wasn't treated too 'fairly' during their special Valentine's show.
So as an apology this show was dedicated to Yui and it mainly consisted of her answering a survey of 100 questions, not all were shown during the show. Not sure if that was truly her sister appearing in a remote studio but have a feeling it may have been. Did learn some things about this very likable gal such as she really would have been liked to have been named Ren and she would give that name to her first baby though she hasn't asked my opinion yet! Also that she often cracks her knuckles to the annoyment of other members plus has had a few odd nicknames over the years which you can see in the screenshots. Sadly the show isn't on YT nor are there any recent videos but have a superb one following the pics which is the photo shoot for the June issue of With.
