Yui Kobayashi: Her impeccable and two days early.... Happy Birthday(!) post....

 

 Two days early as I slightly dropped the ball with the actual date. For some reason I had embedded in my mind that her birthday was today, October 21st, when it's actually the 23rd. Not sure how I made that mistake but it's really not a major one and thought why wait those two days as there probably wouldn't be many if any new pics. Yui's last post was just three weeks ago  but figured there would be a slew of new pics for activities but that hasn't been the case. Her first film is coming out in three weeks and thought there would be some promoting for it which hasn't happened yet. 

 Hasn't been any mag spreads in that stretch either but do have a partial one for today. But there's still over forty new pics for today plus about that many of older ones that have never been posted before so you could say over eighty new pics. Plus have a few other oldies that will be thrown in and this could end up being the largest post of the year, perhaps the best one too if you're a Yui fan. She finished seventh in the final preliminary post for this year's faves list but it could be hard to move up much higher, lack of Keya activities did hurt her ranking a bit but nothing wrong with seventh.

 Have so many pics not sure where to begin but being a birthday post guess those should be first.

 Of course those bottom ones are cards for the 'Keyakise' app game, have a whole slew of them here too which I guarantee are all new for here. These are mainly from 2018 and there have been so few of them this year, wondering with the name change if there will be different sets of cards coming out and if the name of the game will be changed?

 Yui's first and only photobook came out in March 2019, while it was a decent seller don't think it was promoted enough. There was a Twitter page set up with outtake pics and it's still up, the photo shoot took place in London during October 2018 and some of those outtake pics which are new for here.

 

 There naturally was an event for the PB and how I miss seeing Yui at events, hopefully there will be some for her "Sakura" film coming out on November 13th.

 Keya held their final performance under that name on October 13th. The concert was held at an empty Yoyogi National Stadium, did view that final show and though I've been down on Keya recently really did enjoy the show which may have been their best ever. They did sixteens songs including their new single which comes out in December. Will be doing a few group posts soon, there hasn't been any new mag spreads or such that have come out so may have a post for this final performance. Will also be having a pair of posts for the final two episodes of their 'Keyakitte' variety show, a new one started up last Sunday but not much changed. Have a few screenshots from that final performance which as I said was so fun and to me it was their best show but not sure if it was actually done 'live'.

 The one thing that's slightly disappointed me this year is the lack of Yui mag spreads. She does have two solo ones coming up but those will be her firs tin eight months. She still appears in most monthly With issues but that's been it, some new pics from the mag's site.

 Platinum Flash will be the next mag Yui will be appearing in and she'll be their cover girl. Have some outtake pics from the photo shoot and also some here from an interview that's on their site.

 There being no new mag spreads will go back in time to November 2017 and this set from volume 124 of Marquee, have a feeling these pics may have never been posted before.

 Looks like we've hit the conclusion of this post and Yui is one gal I really enjoy doing long posts for. Will end with some 'greatest hit's pics and I'd love to see her have a second photobook. Following the pics is a new promo video from With Online which I found to be entertaining.
