^ Who can resist watching the water slide off her flawless skin?
Yes, watch it! 5 minutes of pure Yuki goodness per week can help to destress the mind and you don't have to worry about spending hours to play catch up if you ever miss a few eps!
I saw that bit about a possible 3rd solo live on sillythings' website too. Yukirin's solo career is surely taking off! Singing is her strong point and she enjoys holding concerts so yes, more solo lives please!
Onto some election news...
Yukirin has declared that she wants to be Center!! Yukirin who has always been content with playing the supporting role in AKB48 has finally revealed her desire to stand at the Center position! I'm really excited by this news and happy for her to have found the drive to aim for No.1. I think all her solo activities have built up her confidence and ignited the hunger and passion in her. This is probably what Aki-p has been wanting to see from her and I'm glad he's pushing her in the right direction.
*I'm just translating the interview parts of the article. Do note that my translations are based off the Chinese translation of the article by Chinese fans.
According to this article by Nikkan Sports on 30 April 2013, Yukirin said, "It's because of AKB48 that I am able to proceed with my solo activities. My love for AKB48 has reached a point where it will not lose to anyone." Filled with gratitude, she reaffirmed her love for the group.
She had been No.3 during the last two elections.
"Armed with confidence, I've worked twice as hard during this two years. I definitely wish I can get into the top three this year." The hope to maintain her previous position has turned into her motivation.
"Even though I've been in AKB for 6 years, I want to continue to be active in the new generation and be at the top to lead AKB forward. I wish to do more for AKB48. As long as everyone works a little harder, I believe AKB48 will keep thriving.
I didn't want to be laughed at so I've never said it all this while... But really, I want to be No.1. I hope I will have a chance to stand at the Center position and see the view from there."
