Yui Kobayashi: Now that her domination of the Galaxy....

 


 .... is complete what's next???? Hmmm, good question and bet there are a few universes who haven't fallen under her spell yet! However there is one truly elite domination that still needs to be accomplished and that's can Yui be my #1 fave two years in a row? That's a tall order but posts like this will go a long way to helping her cause. Did say in her last post Yui has had a post for thirteen consecutive months which is the second longest streak ever. But the first five months of the year there was only one post for them and said if she wants to retain her title as being my number one a few months with more than one post is needed. 



 That bottom pic above is a new one at the Keya site for their upcoming single that will be released on June 28th. Seems like a sharp enough uniform and will have a group post soon with all of the members new pics and other details about the single. So this is Yui's second post for June, her other was done just five days ago yet still have over fifty new pics. As I've said so often there's never been a woman who I work harder at posts for. And being her second of the month is key as mentioned above, don't know if she's my #1 to date but probably no lower than the second position.



 Recently did a post that just featured the first generation members from Hina. Have never done that for Keya but am planning to have one of those posts early in July. There's a special EX-Taishu issue coming out in a week and as you can see by the cover the remaining five first generation members will be having a spread. I'm glad to see that and have noticed they've been getting a bit more attention lately which is deserved, think because of that we may not see any of the five graduate this year.




 As mentioned a few times Yui posts some fabulous photos at her IG page but often there's not enough of them. Not too many for today but she's forgiven as her last post was done just five days ago, how about that first pic....











 As you can see the bottom ones are from the set of the "Actress" drama which just ended it's run. The plan was to recap all eight episodes in July but to date only four shows have been done and have a feeling August is when I'll view the series and recap it. Yui played the character of Kotone in the show which was set five years after the "Borderless" drama ended, was it the first time a '46' member played a mother in a series? Even though the drama just ended a new interview for the show came out yesterday at the Model Press site featuring this quartet, it's worth a read if you're a fan and here's the link to the interview: Model Press site








 All four I try to have posts for on a regular, expect one for the other trio within the next month. Let's go back in time for some real ancient pics and wish Keya still had monthly cards. These ones had never been posted which are from the Winter of 2016/17 and early Summer 2017.












 Know everyone's looks change as they grow older but doesn't it seem Yui has changed more than any other Keya or Hina member? Here's a change of pace which I've never done before that are the Keya monthly message pics from this June to last May, fourteen in all but one is missing and they post these on the first day of each month.














 Here's a real nice surprise and will be having more in her next post which are new modeling pics from the With site. Usually there's one '46' member who is their Idol of a month, Yui was that member in May so didn't think there would be any pics until August. So was pleasantly surprised there's been this many so far for the first week of June and it's a shame they stopped their print edition as Yui's spreads were all overly terrific.











 We're at the end and in February three '46' members were signed to be models for the andGirl magazine. But after appearing in their March issue there were no more pics and thought it was a one time deal. However Yui and the other two who are from Hina are in their July issue and those are the bottom six pics. The top one is from March and that's one of my fave pics of the year, the next three are 'clean versions' of the ones in the magazine. Keya does have a new YT channel but not many videos have been added because the group just ended their Spring tour. There's no other newish Yui videos so after the pics have one for the With magazine from last year which I kind of enjoyed.
