Yui Kobayashi: Too late to reignite her dream to be this year's #1?

 


 It probably is a bit too late for a push to be this year's number one on the faves list, that quiet stretch from May to July really doomed her. Not this weekend but the following one will be having the third and final preliminary list for this year's faves. I need to start thinking about it much more seriously and try to get a few more gals eligible. For the first two lists Yui finished in the tenth spot even though she is a bigger fave than that. Thought she'd end up in that position too for the final one but was wrong on that but in a good way. Have a strong feeling she'll make this year's top five and most gals from four through eighth haven't been doing all that much recently.

 This was kind of a 'spur of the moment post'. On October 21st Yui will be celebrating her birthday and figured that's when her next post would be. Will be having one right around that date too but have seventy new pics for today which have never been posted before. About forty are from current activities while the rest are oldies yet new for here. Yui is now back being a busy gal as this is her fourth post in ten weeks and she should have 2-3 more of them in the next month.



 One reason for so many upcoming posts is that Yui will be in her first film coming out on November 13th titled "Sakura". Know there should be plenty of things promoting the movie and it's going to be nice finally seeing her at another regular event.





 Those are some stills from the film. In these solo posts don't like to discuss Keya happenings but their final two concerts under that name will be taking place in exactly a week. Then who knows what's going to be going on with them such as a new single and such, they do have another greatest hits album coming out. That'll be Keya's first 'hard copy' release in 21 months(!), wonder how many fans they may have left? Yui will also be in three upcoming mags, one will be Bubka in which she'll be sharing a spread and another will be as the cover girl for the next issue of Platinum Flash.






 In that last post had some pics from Yui at the September 5th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show, first time her and a trio of Keya mates have been at an event in eons. Hopefully there will be a pair for the movie and also for Keya who really need to get back in the spotlight. Let's go back 53 weeks(!) with this batch from the September 28, 2019 'Girls Award' show and don't think they'll be having an Autumn show.











 Wonder if we'll be seeing new kinds of Keya cards for their 'Keyakise' app game? Would think so or perhaps should say I really hope so, these are some older cards for the game which were never posted.

















 As I've mentioned a few times in her posts Yui is the most consistent person I post often about, this is her tenth one of the year. Eight of those posts have received between 430 and 500 views, it's kind of mind boggling how consistent they are. It's a semi high number and one post that blew those figures away were for her 2019 photobook which has almost 1,100 views to date. It was released in March 2019 and really was just a so-so seller as don't think it was promoted enough. The photo shoot took place in London during October 2018 and don't know why I haven't posted many pics from the shoot. Will be in future posts and here's some, you can see Yui celebrated her birthday while in London.











 'Uni's on Air' is another game that features members from Keya and Hina, it's an online game. Last post had some new pics as the groups celebrated their first anniversary with them, here's some terrific older pics which had never been posted.









 Yui's pics for the With Online site and magazine are all stupendous but she's hasn't been appearing in any other mags. So it'll be good to see her have some different upcoming spreads for a different mag which hasn't happened in many months. These are from their November edition.











 More pics from their site which are from a recent photo shoot.









 Will end off with these pics from the With Online site. Many were in the November issue but I like viewing these 'clean versions' of Yui, their pics are always so fabulous and especially that first one. It's way too short but have a video following the pics from that 'Girls Award' show mentioned above.
