Yui Kobayashi: Still has the goal of being Nao's #1 fave two years in a row.... can she do it?!?!

 

 There's that something special about the top pic which makes it one of my faves from last year, still would like to have a post for Idols and brushing their teeth! Had another solo Keya post five days ago but all in all what a slow last few weeks it's been for the group. Which is so surprising as their 14th single, fifth as Sakura, will be coming out in two days. Wouldn't you think there would be a lot of new magazine spreads, site interviews, an event or what ever else to promote it? That hasn't been the case and one thing Keya needs more than anything else is more exposure, think they should hire me as their manager!

 Yui's first ever solo post was done in January 2020 but she had so many photos in group posts before that. At the time a goal was to have one post a month for a year, had eleven posts in 2020. But two months each had a pair of posts so she had one for nine of the twelve months. That's my goal again for this year and Yui is on a nice streak as she's now had a post for eight consecutive months and think only one other woman can match that. Yui's last post was done exactly a month ago and has that ever been so popular! For the most part her posts draw such a consistent amount of views, say around 650-700. That'll be the case for four out of five posts, then she has one that draws well over a thousand like her last one has and it baffles me what makes one post more popular than others are there's not much difference with them.

 Hope Yui there is resting up because she has a lot of future activities for us, did say one post a month was a goal but in reality would like to see her average more than that. Think she would have to if she wants to be my #1 fave two years in a row and would love to see that happen. Yui has an IG page and the photos she posts are fabulous but this is all she's had in the last few weeks. The diner photos are from the "Cool" video which is a song off the new single, will have that video in the next Keya post which will be later on this week.

 It's been almost three months since her mate in the second to last photo above has had a post, will try my hardest to have one for ehr by the end of the month. It's only two days to Valentine's and the Keya members have so few pics for the semi holiday which seems to be more popular in Japan than America. Have a few older pics here and there's no woman these days who I'd rather get sweets from than Yui!!!! The second to last pic is from a video for Valentine's which you can view after this small batch. 

 

 Have some brand new promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game, they have a monthly theme but can't figure out what it is for February.

 Photos here are from a February 1st CM Now interview that actually took place after the January 14th TGC show. I found the interview to be rather interesting, most Idol interviews aren't though Yui's usually are and here's the link to it: CM Now interview

 Yui has been a model for the With magazine since July 2018, here's some brand new pics from their site that have come out this month. What I've noticed is that she and two other '46' members only have pics about every three months, in January the Hina member did, she does for this month and in March it'll be the Nogi member's turn.

 Last May the With magazine stopped having print issues and that's a shame as I really enjoyed their spreads. None ever featured gravure pics but they were still so super duper, never do post any of her older spreads for them so here's a superb one from their April 2020 issue.

 We've hit the end and for a change it wasn't a huge post as Yui usually does have larger posts than anyone else. Yesterday Yui and four other Keya members were at the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show that was held in Wakayama, that's about eighty miles south of Osaka. For the first time she took a stroll on the Rope Picnic stage and would love to see that site sign her up to be a model. After the pics is a short video from the event, their strolls on the stage are never long enough and for the first time in eons the group didn't promote a new Keya credit card for AEON.
