Yui Kobayashi: Her new mission is to become the Queen of all other Dimensions(?).....

 


 Has there been a photo that has been posted more than that above one? I would say NO and there's a good reason for having it so often as it's my #1 photo of all time, need new adjectives to describe it's perfection! Now that Yui has conquered the Earth, all Galaxies and Universes plus Nao's heart 😍 the only thing left are other dimensions, hope she doesn't get trapped in some time warp! This makes fourteen consecutive months with a post and think the record is sixteen, not positive but that's the number I've been using. So three more months with a post will mean a new record and there's no doubt it will happen.



 Those above IG pics are just so tremendous and wish she posted more at her page. So of course her fans know that Yui was my number one fave for last year and can she repeat? She has an excellent chance but for now would put her in the second position as a Hina member currently has the #1 spot but there are five months to go before the list starts. Think July will be a busy month for Yui but don't know if some of her activities will be postable ones. Keya will be going to Paris in ten days and hope they perform more than one short set at that yearly Japan Expo. On July 28th her first regular stage play starts which is titled "Three Villains of the Hidden Fort", it'll open in Tokyo and then move on to Osaka at the end of August so we may not be hearing much of her during that time. Hopefully there will be an event for the play along with some interviews and such.



 Will have a Keya group post coming up in 3-4 days. Their new single "Start Over" is selling so well and it's easily going to end up being their best seller though will admit I preferred their first few singles after the name change to Sakura. Did mention above that Yui doesn't post enough pics at her IG page, just three since June 9th and the bottom one is her monthly message for July at the Keya site.





 Doesn't Yui's hair look so different in that bottom photo? This is her third post since June 4th yet still have close to fifty new pics plus also have a few oldies such as these Keya cards from 2018. The bottom ones are for Crunky candy and there were a few CM's for it.














 There's some good news which is that the seventh episode of the "Actress" drama has just been subbed. One more show to go and when the project is complete will begin viewing the series and recap all of the shows, it's a sequel to the 2021 drama "Borderless".


 What doesn't get subbed too quickly are the 'Soko' variety show episodes, the last one done was for the May 28th show. The last two have been very good, episode #138 which aired last week was devoted to the new single and they had some entertaining game challenges on that episode. That and the episode before that will be recapped once they're subbed. So of course #137 was the previous show and the theme was to see how good the Keya members were at acting but with a twist as they had to ad-lib the dialogue. The skits just lasted for 15-30 seconds however Yui's segment lasted for over two minutes! In it she played a detective who was gunned down in the line of duty and though I didn't catch everything seemed her character was more concerned about the prices of things she bought than her own life(!), it was a struggle for her to keep from laughing. 





















 Have Yui's brand new and sharp looking promo July pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game. The bottom two pics are for the 'Saku Koi' game which is brand new and will be starting up this month, hopefully will have some new info for it in the next group post.







 Even though there's been such a lack of recent magazine spreads for Yui she's been doing a lot more modeling and to be honest I think those kinds of photos are better than most spreads. This super duper batch are new pics from the andGirl site, wish they had a video of the photo shoot.









 The With site used to have three '46' members, one from each group, as models and they would take turns being their 'model of the month' so you would only see photos every three months from a member. But it appears Yui is the only gal left from the groups and I'm not complaining as it means so many more photos and they're always fabulous! This final batch are pics that have come out in the last two weeks at the site, all are perfect but how about that top one!!!! No new videos and that's no surprise but after the pics have Yui's segment from the 'Soko' show that I talked about above. It aired on June 19th and her segment begins at the 1:07 mark, recommend viewing it as it was quite funny.
