AKB48’s Kashiwagi Yuki to make her solo debut
On July 13th, AKB48 member Kashiwagi Yuki held “1st Solo Live ~Netemo Sametemo Yukirin World~” in Tokyo.
This live was to commemorate the release of her 2nd photobook “Yu,Yu,Yukirin…” (Shueisha), and 2,000 lucky fans who were chosen by lot, attended the live. Since it was the 1st solo live for Kashiwagi, she seemed to be a bit nervous. She performed a total of 17 songs including some cover songs such as “Momoiro Kataomoi” (Matsuura Aya) and “Chokotto LOVE” (Petitmoni), and said “I can’t be happier to see all the Uchiwas and boards say ‘Yukirin’.” with big smile on her face. During the live, Kashiwari showed off her several faces by appearing in many different costumes, and attracted the fans. She also did “Virtual Clothes Changing Show” in which colorful images reflect by the projector on Kashiwagi’s white one piece.
At the live event, there was a big surprise for Kashiwagi which was announced by Nagura Jun (of comedian trio Neptune) who belongs to the same agency as Kashiwagi. Nagura gave her a message from producer, Akimoto Yasushi, that was posted on Google+. It says, “Though I could not make it to your live since the meeting was prolonged, I am announcing this on Google+. I am making Kashiwagi Yuki debut as solo. I’m entranced by Kashiwagi’s ballads. You don’t have to worry about ‘French Kiss‘ since the unit will proceed as well.” Listening to the message, Kashiwagi could not put her face up for a while, and said, “When a surprise and joy come together, I can’t say any words. I can feel that dreams can come true.”
During the encore, fellow French Kiss members, Takajo Aki and Kuramochi Asuka made their appearance as surprise guests, and they all performed the unit’s new song “Romance Privacy” (to be released on July 18th).

Yes, it also HAD to be my birthday 😀 Finally my prayers bared fruit!! A great month indeed! First the unit with Acchan and Yuko and now her solo, I’ve been blessed this week!! But I wonder, what does this really spells for French Kiss, though AkiP said French Kiss will continue, somehow I’ve got a feeling not as it is today…Ok, since I’m lucky this month, let’s make that Acchan-Yu[ki+ko] unit a permanent chapter somehow…Just give lots of them and I wont complain!!

Why would French Kiss be in danger?
Mayuyu is solo and Watarirouka is still going okay so is Sasshi and Not Yet!
And what’s with this Yuko/Acchan unit? I thought Acchan is graduating so what’s the point?

In the setlist for their ‘Team Surprise’ album stuff for the Pachinko collab, apparently there’s a unit song of Acchan+Yuko+Yukirin, I think.
Anyway, I was wondering if you’d blog about this! I’m literally so happy for Yukirin. She’s not my oshimen, but she’s one of the members I respect the most, and as AkiP puts “I’m entranced by her ballads”. Totally. I love her voice and I can’t wait for her first single to be released!!! Seriously – each time I think ‘Can 2012 get any better?’ And it does. XD

What do you want me to blog about? The Tri-Force unit or the one I just blogged about?
And it’s very good to see none Oshii who enjoy her voice! Thank you for speaking nicely on behalf of my Goddess ^^

Okay I say something here too… Actually I have a quote from my favorite RTS game: “It was about daaaamn… tiiiime….” Finally someone is going to have a single who actually CAN sing. (No offense towards Wasamin though) Now Yukirin, so the next one should be… MY PRECIOUS… 🙂
