Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available.

Yui Kobayashi: Another '𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒻𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝒹𝑒𝓈𝑒𝓇𝓋𝑒𝓈 𝓂𝑜𝓇𝑒 𝓅𝑜𝓈𝓉𝓈?' post....

 


 Sigh, that's still my all time pic of an Idol, sigh again. That heading is both true and false, false because this is her 22nd solo post since January 2020 and think only two Idols can top that total. But true in a way as this is just Yui's third regular post in eight months, as far as my huge faves here go can also only think of two others that I would rather do posts for!!!! From September to December last year Yui took a three month hiatus and I really thought she was contemplating leaving Keya but luckily that didn't happen.... yet. But she hasn't been nearly as busy as she once was but then again that has been the case for just about every Keya member. From early 2018 to the Spring of 2020 no Keya member appeared in as many magazines as she did and that long stretch with no Keya singles seemed to hurt Yui more than any other member as she's appeared in so few magazines since then plus her other activities have slowed down.



 Last did a Yui solo post at the end of March and while there's not a massive amount of new things as mentioned there's only two others who I would rather do a post for. Hmmmm, now that I think about it haven't most Idols the last two years seen such a decrease in activities? Perhaps not for Hina but that's been the case for Nogi and a few other groups I like such as SKE, NMB and Morning Musume. Have some older things too for this post which many may never have seen, all in all if you're a fan this should be a decent post and will we ever see a second photobook?! First up are some recent pics from Keya's 'Diary' blog and hate to say it but Yui isn't much of a poster there.








 Her mate in the bottom two pics will be leaving Keya at the end of July, of course fans know who just departed and will have her first 'after graduation' post soon.






 Have some more new Yui pics which are for promo ones for the 'Uni's on Air' web game, four pics each for the months of April, May and June.













 In that bottom pic you can see Yui holding a pair of glasses, she does wear them but you seldom see that and a high percentage of Idols seem to wear glasses. As a matter of fact the Uni's theme for June is of Hina andd Keya members wearing glasses, you'll see plenty of those pics very soon. Speaking of glasses how many remember this event from October 11, 2017? On that date the 30th 'Best Wearer of Eyeglasses in Japan' ceremony was held, Keya won for an Idol group and the year before Nogi won, don't the members look so different back then?











 As mentioned what a lack of mag spreads lately and that goes for all Keya members. So why not stay in the year 2017 for this terrific spread from the April issue of Marquee, like the above pics hasn't Yui's looks really changed over the years.... so much better too if you ask me!









 Yui has been a model for the With magazine and will be ending off with some ultra fabulous pics since the beginning of April. They're all from their site as in May they stopped their print edition and now are only a web magazine. The bottom nine pics just came out last week and Yui is looking better than ever, to me there aren't many faves who get my blood boiling like she does, perhaps none!!!! After the pics is an oldish With video that's been posted before but it's one of my top videos even though it's not a gravure one and it features her good mate from Nogi.
