Yuki Yoda: Her ultimate goal is now to be #1 on this year's faves list!!!!

 


 That's an admirable ambition but sure that's been the ultimate goal for most women in the world too however so few(six!) have been able to achieve it! Though I've liked her immensely the past few years never thought of Yuki being #1 of the year material. But the more I think about she has just as good of a chance to be number one this year as anyone does, perhaps a much higher chance. Know it's early but have a feeling this year is going to much more difficult for my bigger faves to reach six posts which is what's needed to qualify for the list. The last two years 28 women have been eligible and would love to see that happen again but wouldn't bet the mortgage on that. But this is already Yuki's fourth post for the year and she's had thirteen since last January, not many Idols can top that. 



 Know all fans enjoy gaping at pics from her two photobooks but isn't it getting time for her third PB? Yuki's second came out almost two years ago and with sales of 225,000+ sure her large fan base can't wait for that next one and really have no idea if something like that would happen this year. Speaking of photobooks a Nogi member released one last week, in ten days another book will be coming out. When members have books coming out they tend to have the spotlight for a while which is a big reason you haven't seen too many solo Nogi posts this past six weeks except for them and of course today's honoree. Then again I'm down to seven current members I post about but am seriously thinking of making that eight which is for a third generation member. Hmmmm, the more I think about why not do a post(s) for that mystery gal and will do that very soon.



 Of course it's hard not to gape at Yuki's more scantly clad pics but in a way I prefer the ones like those two above. Coming up soon will be doing recaps for her "Saiai no Hito" drama that aired from October until December. There was a total of eight episodes and six have been subbed, just viewed the first two shows yesterday. Episodes are only 16-20 minutes in length so there will be two episodes per recap or a total of four posts. Subs should be done soon so by the end of next month will have those four posts and have already written the first one up.

 Yuki has the lead role in this drama and as I've mentioned before she could be Nogi's best actress. This is her third non-Nogi drama plus she's been in a movie so her post-Nogi career is looking promising but hope it doesn't happen for a few more years. This drama is a spinoff from the "Nihon Chinbotsu: Kibo no Hito" series which she appeared in but you don't need to view that other series. She has the lead role in this drama playing the role of Ai who is a 21 year old waitress who is also studying to be an artist. Have only watched the first two episodes so of course don't know everything that will be taking place, it's a mini romance show but also one that could be a bit suspenseful at times. That was the case in the first show when Ai almost made a trip to a remote island, good thing she didn't for as the day she was going to take the trip it sank into the ocean!!!!












 Yuki is a model for at least three magazines/sites but there's been so few of those modeling pics as of late, perhaps because it's Winter? Have some here from the Maquia site, top five are new and have five more from late last year as I don't think they've been posted before.











 Few recent pics from her Instagram page as so few members post at Nogi's group blog these days.








 March 21st is the date for the Spring 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show, they also have an Autumn one but before 2020 they used to have at least 5-7 shows a year. To my surprise Yuki has only made an appearance at two of those shows but have a strong feeling we'll be seeing her at that March show. However she's attended many of the 'Girls Awards' shows which I think are better but they've had zero since this health crisis began. So let's go back in time for some super duper pics which are from their Spring 2018 show that took place in May.









 Don't know if management or whoever will admit but I've noticed certain members have way many more Nogi cards than other members. And leading the pack is Yuki and really can't complain about that, here's some recent cards/pics from the group's 'Nogi Fes' series.











 They're slightly early but a few days ago some Valentine's Day cards were released.




 In 2020 Yuki won an impressive award for being the Idol to appear on the most magazine covers. Haven't head any news on who won the 2021 award but then again haven't looked, have a feeling a Hina member may have taken that award last year. Yuki is the cover girl for the final batch of pics which is from the February 6th issue of Young Magazine. Had those 'Nogi Fes' cards above, after the spread is a short promo video for them and also her New Year's message.
