Yui Kobayashi: Her first of two(!?) April posts....

 


 Not going to be easy but there is a chance for a second post this month, if so it'll probably be the final one for April. Averaging a post a month for a whole year may not seem hard to do but that's anything but the case. Last year six had twelve or more solo posts but one gal had five photobook posts so the total was actually five. Much harder these days with all that's been taking place or not taking place is a better comment. For 2020 she had ten posts, this is number three so far for the year so one more this month will put her back on pace.

 We all have a massive fave or two who we truly adore to no end but why that person over so many others? Who knows why as it's a mystery and one I'd rather not see solved. Yui is one of those gals to me and she's one of those very few who are on the esteemed 'Nao's Elite Dozen' list. However that list probably doesn't have a dozen, more like ten these days but it's nothing official. I tend to work so much harder on having super duper posts for them and there's just that something magical about those ten which sets them apart from all my other faves.



 So obviously Yui is one of those elite women and how I enjoy working on posts for her. She's still by far the most consistent gal I do many posts for. What I mean is that those posts all get about the same amount of views, say between 500-560 views as she has one dedicated fan base here. Wish it would grow a bit higher but that's still an impressive amount of views for her posts. Yui's last post was just five weeks ago and while there haven't been many recent activities still have close to fifty new pics in that stretch of time. Plus there's over 25 older pics which had never been in a post before so hopefully this will be a post her avid fan base will enjoy.



 If things work out will also be having a Keya group post very soon. Quite a slow period the last week but things seem to be picking up a bit, five posts yesterday, two for today and know there will be at least one for tomorrow. In Yui's next post hope to have her new BLT Graph spread, it comes out on April 22nd with her as the cover girl and the top pic is one from the spread. Following that is her new Keya site pic and to me the members looks a bit too stiff. Also have some pics from the group's second single under the new Sakura name, title of the tune is "Ban". It's a decent tune and if you haven't seen it's video just click on the link: Ban PV






 Keya's group blog is still called 'Diary', they didn't change that name. Have some pics from this past month and finally Yui posted a good amount of solo ones.












 What I still can't find is the "Borderless" drama which stars members from all three '46' groups. Never mind subs but can't even find the raws, anyone been able to? Yui was in the third and fourth shows, sure it'll be available some time in the future but may lose interest if it's months down the road.








 Another goal of mine is to find some new group cards. Figured with the name change there would be a whole slew of new ones which hasn't been the case. Do have a few older Yui cards that haven't been posted before for Keya's 'KeyaKise' web game but am running out of them or at least ones since 2018.















 Can't wait for that upcoming BLT Graph spread as it's been so long since a solo set for her. Yui is still a model for the With magazine and these are from their May issue.











 Personally think her pics at the With Online site are a bit better, some of these current ones are in the above spread but these are all 'clean versions'.














 Final batch of pics which are older ones yet new for here. Yui's first solo post was in May 2019 so may have do something for the anniversary. In that post had some fine pics from the May 18, 2019 'Girls Award' show. But in that post had only pics from one of her strolls, Yui took a second one on the 'One Spo' stage, to me these pics are so superb and better than the ones from her other stroll. Don't think 'Girls Award' will have any shows once again this year which is a shame, there will be a 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show in September. Will admit it's not the most exciting of videos plus it's not subbed but after the pics have the video from her March 7th 'Showroom' and she was a solo host. It's entertaining but hard to view it's entire hour though it's worth skimming through.
