Yui Oguri: Her first memeorable and unexpected intro post!
Though her official 'first post' it's actually the second I've written up, the other is right below this. It features Yui's first ever photobook and it's a post you don't want to miss! Do have a loose rule where someone needs to be 22 in age to be introduced, have broken it a few times but for the most part have followed the rule. But got to thinking about J-Pop Idols and the fact they have such short careers. So many graduate by the time they're 25 so if I don't do any posts for them until they turn 22 that means it won't be a long period where I can do posts for them. Yui is 21 and will be turning 22 later on this year so said why wait a little longer only to post the same pics?! What got me thinking of this was a post I did yesterday for Hiyori from Hina and did mention Yui in that post. There won't be a rush of 21 year old Idols coming up but you may see more of them in the future.
Didn't think of it until this post but doesn't she remind you so much of Miku from Hina? I think they look so much alike, especially around the nose, plus both are 163 cm in height and their figures are almost identical too. Yui turned 21 on December 26th, she's someone I've liked for a while and I think she's one of AKB's most attractive members ever! She hails from Tokyo and is left handed if that means anything(!), more bio info as we go along with the posts. But will only be having one more for Yui's 2022 activities, she's someone who I think will be able to have a lot of posts in the future which is one reason I wanted to finally post about her and am curious if you viewers will like her.
Have a good variety of things for today and sure future posts will also. Will begin off with some IG pics that have been uploaded since Christmas and she does post a lot of photos.
Those bottom three pics are from the set of the "Good Morning, Nemureru Shishi" drama and it's second season. Yui will have the lead role in the series so if it gets subbed I will recap the drama. Just like I did for her mate Hitomi's recent drama, she's the other member of AKB who I still like quite a bit and will have another post for her by the end of the month.
Yui does a lot of modeling for many sites but doesn't seem to stay with them a long time, this small batch is from the Ray site.
Yui was in the recent stage play "Odd Taxi" which opened in Tokyo on January 25th for eight shows then moved on to Osaka for a few days. There was a press conference the day before which where these pics are from and I think she looks so super duper, also there was a Hina gal and she got the ball rolling with these intro posts.
Will end off with a trio of 2022 magazine spreads, all had outtake pics from Yui's first photobook that came out in January. This first set is the smallest of the trio so will begin off with it and it's from the March issue of EX-Taishu.
Second up for spreads is this set from the January 29th issue of Weekly Sunday Shonen.
Yui once again graces a cover and this final spread is from the February 10th edition of Weekly Shonen Champion. There are two more spreads from last year which will be in her next post plus one from last month. As mentioned the next post is for her splendid first photobook that came out in January 2022, after the pics is the event that was held for it and she looks so terrific in the video.
