Yuki Yoda: Her epic comeback post #1.... 'Triangle' mini photobook scans and much more!!!!

 

 That top pic will always be my #1 photo of her though there's been so many other scorching photos, especially in her third photobook which you will see here soon. Over the last month or so have reintroduced four old time faves of mine who I had stopped doing posts for and there really was no reason for that or at least to carry it on for so long. For Yuki this is her first post in 27 months which was November 2022 and at the time she was close to being my current #1 Nogi member. Then a mini scandal took place with her around Christmas of that year so I was a bit turned off by that and didn't like how it was quietly swept under the rug by management. Time usually does heal wounds for me and after a year with no Yuki posts was going to start them up again but obviously never got around to it. Yesterday said I would begin doing posts for her again though never said who the Nogi member was but if you read that post sure you figured it out.

 It's now tomorrow in Japan which means Yuki is no longer an active Nogi member as her two graduation concerts took place this weekend. I often hate when my faves leave their groups but on occasion know it's for the best and this is one of those times as she no longer needs Nogi and perhaps the opposite is true too! Will have more info about Yuki's future activities, the grad concert and also some things that have taken place over the last year in some upcoming posts. For I wasn't planning on doing this post as I was gearing up to do her first comeback post on February 27th. But then began to think about how much I had liked Yuki and if I didn't do this post today then perhaps none of these photos would have ever been seen here or at least 90% of them. So the plan is to have her second comeback post on the 27th featuring many activities that have taken place over the past month, then her third a few weeks after to do some cleanup on 2024 things and perhaps some activities from 2023. Then in May will post her third photobook which came out eleven days ago and do have it already, what I've never done is post Yuki's first book so if I get some requests for it will post that too.

 So this could be considered a 'Spur of the moment' post, already had most of the photos but didn't think I would ever post them. With these comeback posts Yuki just may move back into my top ten for Nogi members, twice she's made my yearly faves list. So will have a lot of things to talk about in these upcoming posts and for today there will be close to a hundred photos that have never been posted here before! Besides the new photobook also have a streamed version of her final Nogi concert which took place on the 23rd at the Mizuho Payday Dome in Fukuoka. That's her hometown and below are some pics from the first of two grad concerts.

 On occasion have talked about who the most popular women have been here and that would be by how many views their posts get. One name I haven't mentioned in a while is Yuki and in all honesty it wouldn't shock me if she was the most popular woman I've posted about with you viewers. Continuing on have some 2024 Nogi group cards and these have slowed down for everyone the last few years, by everyone mean most J-Pop Idol groups.

 Photobook #3 has the simple title of "Yoda" and it was released on February 12th. Always wait at least three months before posting an Idol book which means you won't see it until mid-May but probably not until June 1st. First week sales were 82,400 copies sold which is a solid number these days but Yuki's second book had first week sales of 130,000 copies sold when it came out in March 2020. Below are some pics from the book and will have much more about it in the next post such as photos from an event, a brand new mag spread and also more pics from the book.

 Though it's been over two years without any posts really didn't miss as much as you would think. At one time Yuki used to appear in so many magazines and at events but has slowed down on both of those activities. But there are some older mag spreads which I will be getting to such as this set from the December 12, 2023 issue of Young Champion.

 The spreads for her and other '46' members are always so super duper though very few have any gravure photos and perhaps that's why the posts for members have seen a decrease in views the past few years. A month after the above spread Yuki was the cover girl for the January 16, 2024 issue of Weekly Shonen and she often has that honor.

 We've hit the end and Triangle is a magazine/photobook that comes out 2-3 times a year or at least used to. There's been eleven issues to date and all have featured members from the three '46' groups so wonder if this is actually a publication from the management of the groups. This set was released on October 29th and don't know why it had 03 on the cover as they've had many more issues than that and it was only their second for 2024. To me these pictorials have always been so superb and my favorite women don't need to dress skimpy to look alluring to my eyes. Yuki was once again the cover girl and though it's advertised as a magazine I've always considered Triangle to be a photobook and this set has 49 pics. After the batch is a video from December and it's on Nogi's YT streaming channel, Yuki along with my #1 current member headed to Tokyo University and their Science department. All in all this is a very interesting video which I've now viewed twice and it didn't need any Nogi members to make it worth watching.
