Congratulations to my Kami-oshi, Yukirin!!!!

i wish you all of success and i'm looking forward to your drama and debut single, i strongly believe that your debut single will be the best

YUKIRIN ALL THE WAY!!!! LONG LIVE YUKIRIN!!!!

Crazy stuff with the sudden yukirin love and level up.

Would be nice if she took the Majisuka Gakuen time-slot. And some other AKB members also joined in.
In most PVs and stuff, they've mainly showed Yukirin's orthodox/level-headed chara. Wonder if the drama will be the same or a turn to something else that's more crazy.

Whatever it is. I'm friggin happy and excited~~

What the... new personal record label YukiRing? So in a year we can see <insert cool new girl> making her debut under YukiRing records?! Should have called it YukiWin .

New drama too. Hmm... so far we've only seen her play dark or depressed characters, which is funny because you'd expect her to play the happy-go-lucky idol-esque characters. I wonder what they'll come up with this time.

^yup new avex sub label:

Nov 11,2012 - by tokyograph

On Sunday, more details were announced regarding AKB48 member Kashiwagi Yuki’s solo debut. She will release her first single (still untitled) on February 6, 2013, under an avex sub-label called YukiRing, created specially for Kashiwagi. This is the first time that an AKB48 member has gotten her own personal record label.

It was also announced that Kashiwagi will star in a TV Tokyo drama series starting in January, and her debut single will be the theme song for that drama.

Further details will be announced at a later date.

Time to start filling up the shopping basket!

From CDTV, Yukirin's first performance of "Shortcake". Going for the sweet carefree melody.
Doesn't really use Yukirin's singing skills much though, so not much of a surprise. Even Kasai's Masaka live sounded more interesting.

It's interesting to note that Yukirin has a special interview with Ishikawa Rika, a former member of Morning Musume in the Theater Version. Ishikawa Rika is currently Angry in the pop/rock duo HANGRY & ANGRY-f. We all know that Yukirin auditioned for Morning Musume before but was cut during the third round. And look at how far she's come - the third most popular member in the largest Japanese girl group now! I can't wait to know what is discussed in the interview.

THANKS SEIGUS!!

wow that is really fantastic to see. her passionate fangirling for Rika and they really have made a relationship out of it. Mentoring and influencing one another. BREAK DOWN THE BARRIERS OF FANDOM!!

[Kloryc]

I really wanted and was very tempted to buy all 6 to show my full support and get the 3D case...but realistically I was only able to afford 2 Q.Q

If only I lived in Japan where this stuff is acceptable and shipping didn't cost 20% of the total price of the items.

AKB48’s Kashiwagi Yuki meets her idol Ishikawa Rika

AKB48 member Kashiwagi Yuki had a special talk with former Morning Musume member Ishikawa Rika who Kashiwagi always claimed to be a fan. This special talk was for Kashiwagi’s solo debut single “Shortcake“, and it will be included as a bonus track in a theater edition (approximately 18 minutes long).

The talk happened because Kashiwagi mentioned Ishikawa’s name as a person she wished to meet the most. Apparently, Kashiwagi has been adoring her for more than 10 years since she was in the third grade, as Kashiwagi said, “A dream of 10 years’ standing has come true. She was the reason for me to start wishing to be an idol, so it was such an honor that I was able to meet her, and have a talk with her, and it was like a dream.”

Even though they have seen each other at some music programs, they never had a chance to talk to each other. Regarding this offer, Ishikawa said, “I knew that Yuki-chan mentioned my name in several occasions, and I always wanted to work with her.”

The shooting was held in the beginning of this month in a format where Kashiwagi asked Ishikawa questions. Reportedly, both girls were nervous at first, but they became close with each other fast.

Kashiwagi commented, “We have many things in common, such as our circumstances when joining a group, and starting a solo activity after entering a group, so there were things I could ask only to Ishikawa-san, and I learned many things from her. She was amazingly kind in person, so I recognized once again that she was the person I adore the most after all.” Ishikawa also said, “I was nervous at first too, but it was so much fun. I was happy to be able to have a talk with her, and was stimulated by her.”
