Yui Kobayashi: Who better to begin off a month with.... the umpteenth version!!!!

 

 Have lost count myself but bet it's been at least five times this year she's had the first post of a month. This makes it two solo posts in a row for a Keya member and while it's happened before the last time may have been years ago. In an odd twist coming up will be back to back posts for some Hina gals. It's not the first time it's happened nor will it be the last where I messed up something. The record for consecutive months with a post was sixteen, Yui tied that mark in September and thought this post would make it a new record. September was actually month #17 with a post so this is just adding on to it, so at the end of the year she will hit twenty straight months with a post. Records are made to be broken but some are out of reach and that record could be, you have to go all the way back to April 2022 for her last month with zero posts.

 Keep thinking that these posts are going to become more difficult to do but that hasn't been the case. Have 68 pics that have never been posted before and am holding back ten for Yui's next post. That should be around October 23rd as that's the date she'll be hitting the age of 24 and I really hope she stays with Keya for at least one more birthday. While Yui is on track to be my #1 fave for the second year in a row her popularity here has really dwindled. Her posts at the beginning of the year were receiving a high amount of views but that's dropped over the last 3-4 months. Don't know why as her posts are better than anyone else's and once again have a good variety of things for today.

 Whew, shouldn't it be a crime that a photo like the one above should be so perfect?!!!! As usual have a little bit of a lot of things, most older ones had never been in a post before. But these first two pics are brand new that were added to the Keya site today. They're the new uniform for their next single that comes out in seventeen days and I really like this new uniform.

 Yui posts some fabulous pics at her IG page but I've always said wish she had more. These five are all she's had since her last post was done two weeks ago, we'll got her some slack for those bottom four are just out of this world.... WOW!!!!

 More newish pics which are these Keya cards that came out a few months back but hadn't posted them, top three are for Keya's third tour that ended in June.

 Those above cards are superb but think the older ones for Keya were a bit better plus there were so many more. Do have some older ones here for the group's 'Keyakise' series and I wish they began to have a regular card series again. First four are from early 2018 while the other five are from 2017 and of course hasn't Yui changed so much in six years?

 Of course there is a regular series which are promo pics for the 'Uni's on Air' web game, Here are her pics for September which didn't come out until ten days ago and it's the fourth anniversary of the game which features the voices of Keya and Hina members.

 Yui is a part time model for the andGirl magazine/site, these are some recent pics from them. She's also been a model with the With site since 2018 but hasn't had any new pics in 2 1/2 months and hope Yui's still with them as those photos are always magnificent.

 No surprise that there's no new magazine spreads, hopefully we'll see a few this month to promote the new single. So let's go back in time for this super duper spread from the November 2017 issue of BLT Graph and in all honesty can't ever recall posting it. As I said a above hasn't Yui changed so much in six years(?), she would have been seventeen going on eighteen for the photo shoot.

 Final set of pics for today that are from yesterday's Autumn 'Girls Award' show that was held at the Makuhari Messe Hall in Chiba, six other Keya members were there. Yui took her stroll on the Sneaker Rockets stage, of course she never looks less than perfect(!) but thought she looked a bit better at some older shows. Not sure why but she always has more photos from these shows than any other member. Bottom four are from a mini performance Keya did at the show, they did three songs including their upcoming single. In May Keya opened a second YT channel which features many solo videos for the members. However to date Yui is one of the few members who hasn't uploaded any solo videos and what is she waiting for? So after the pics have a promo video from September 2020 for the 'Uni's on Air' game which I really think is superb. What makes it semi historical is that it may have been her last video as a Keya member as three weeks later they changed their name to Sakurazaka.
