I have translated the details into English below.

So cold. 

That's almost 30 euro for the sign and 20 euro for the handshake/small poster... Typical wallet rape tactics 

[Seigus]

^ For those of us who find it too expensive (or can't even be there in person), there's always Yukirin air handshake!

Yup, the overseas handshakes in HK/Taiwan always cost that much. And you only get 3 seconds per handshake. Double the cost of a Japanese handshake for a third of the time! Which is definitely something to bear in mind for people who are ever thinking of going from outside HK, and the overseas tickets are much more limited, and you can't really buy multiple.

Yukirin 3rd Solo Live Blu-ray/DVD to be released on 19 March 2014!



News article from Oricon:

柏木由紀、横アリ1万人公演を映像化　特典の100体限定フィギュアに驚嘆

　AKB48の柏木由紀がソロ3枚目のDVD／Blu-ray Disc『柏木由紀 3rd ソロライブ 寝ても覚めてもゆきりんワールド ～もっと夢中にさせちゃうぞっ◇～』（◇＝ハート）を3月19日に発売することが29日、わかった。初回盤購入者特典として“柏木由紀フィギュア”を100体限定で制作。本人が「私にそっくり！」と太鼓判を押す出来栄えとなった。

　本作は、昨年11月7日に行われた横浜アリーナ単独公演の模様を収録。ソロ初ライブの東京・中野サンプラザ公演（2012年7月）で2000人、1stシングル発売記念の東京国際フォーラム ホールA公演（昨年2月）で5000人を動員した柏木は、平日にもかかわらず1万人を動員。AKBグループのソロデビュー勢10人の中で最大規模の公演を成功させた。

　柏木は同公演で披露した全26曲と特典映像が満載された本作について「セットリスト、演出のこだわりが詰まった作品」と自信たっぷり。中でも約60人のオーケストラの演奏をバックに歌唱した「ショートケーキ」「沈黙」「火山灰」のスローナンバー3曲は「ぜひ観てほしい」と力を込める。

　初回盤封入特典として、本人直筆のメッセージカード100枚がランダムに封入されるほか、応募者の中から抽選で100名に柏木由紀フィギュアをプレゼント。同ライブで「Rainy day」を歌唱したときの衣装を再現したフィギュアを手に「本当にわたしにそっくりでびっくりです」と驚嘆し「うしろから見ても、斜めから見ても体の全体のラインが自分に似ていますね～。特に、二の腕はよく似ていました。いろいろな角度からぜひ見てください」と目を丸くしていた。

DVD cover


In each First Press Limited Edition, there will be an application ticket to enter a balloting for a Yukirin figure. Only 100 Yukirin figures are up for grabs. The figure looks like this:



I'm not too keen on the figure. It doesn't look like Yukirin at all I'd rather they give out a Yukirin Daruma figure. Real person figures usually don't work unless they are chibi-fied like Nendoroids or super realistic like those from Hot Toys.

Oh dear, looks like Yukirin has fallen sick according to her blog post this evening I hope she gets well before she goes to Hong Kong as she has two consecutive days of events on 4 and 5 Feb.

I've translated her post but as usual, please take it with a pinch of salt.

こんばんはー♪♪
Good evening~♪♪

今年2度目の風邪をひいてしまい。。
おとなしくしていました柏木です(´・_・`)
It's the second time this year I've caught a cold..
Now I'm a tame Kashiwagi (´・_・`)

熱っぽいなーと思って、体温計で測っても平熱。。
気のせいかーっと思ったけど、念のため病院に行きましたら、やはり熱が！！
どーやら柏木家の体温計、壊れてたみたい。笑
I thought I felt feverish, but the thermometer indicated that my temperature was normal..
Although I wondered if it was just my imagination, I still went to the hospital just in case. In the end, I really had a fever!
Looks like the Kashiwagi family's thermometer is broken. LOL

ですがー！！
わたしの回復力といったらはんぱなく！！！
おかげで今日はレコーディングで何曲も歌えるくらい、元気になりました(^ ^)
But!!
My recovery ability is very strong!!!
I sang a few songs during recording today and become energetic (^ ^)

何がいいたいかというと、、
たまには体温計、買い替えた方がいいですよっ♪笑
Well, what to say..
It's better to buy a new thermomter every once in a while. LOL

おとといの話ですが、、
アメスタ楽しかったー！！
Although it's something that happened the day before yesterday,
Ameba Studio was fun!!

チョコレートデコレーション♪♪
女の子っぽーいﾄﾞｷﾄﾞｷ
なーんて思ってました。笑
Chocolate decoration ♪♪
Felt rather girly. LOL

もーすぐバレンタインですねっ♪
ねっ。。笑
Soon it'll be Valentine ♪
Right.. LOL

明日は1日収録♪♪
がんばりまーす(^ ^)
Tomorrow will be a day of recording ♪♪
Let's work hard (^ ^)

Short preview for next week's AKB48 Nemousu Terebi

Yukirin has arrived at HongKong today


Renacchi join with Yukirin to go to Hong Kong

[Seigus]

Looks like Yukirin participated in a Genki Sushi event with Renacchi too! Nice smile in the third pic, Yukirin! I'm glad she seems well



More photos of her arriving at the Hong Kong Airport and at the Genki Sushi event over at the Kashiwagi Yuki Picture Thread!


Yukirin posted on her G+ early this morning before she left Japan. She seemed excited about her Hong Kong trip!

2014-02-04 08:19



おはよーございます！
Good morning!

いざ香港へー！！！
れなっちといってきます♪
I'm going to Hong Kong!!!
I will be going with Renacchi ♪

あーたのしみっ(^^)
Ah, so excited (^^)

ゆきりん加藤玲奈が香港で恵方巻きパクッ



ＡＫＢ４８柏木由紀（２２）加藤玲奈（１６）が４日、香港で、ＣＭ出演しているすしチェーン「元気寿司」の新年イベントに出席した。

節分には１日遅れながら、恵方巻きを食べる日本独自の習慣をＰＲ。イベントに参加した子供たちと、東北東を向きながら、黙々と太巻きを食べた。また同イベントを共同開催した非営利団体へ、寄付金の小切手を寄贈する儀式も行われた。

Video of the Genki Sushi event:



According to the emcee, Yukirin was there to support Renacchi who is a spokesperson of Genki Sushi (together with Mayuyu).

They made maki sushi with some kids on stage. Before they started, Yukirin showed her helpful side when she took the initiative to distribute the disposable gloves to the children. She even wanted to put on the glove for the girl next to her but the girl managed to do it on her own. Those lucky kids!

She was also constantly conscious of her and Renacchi's positions on stage, careful not to steal the limelight from the actual spokesperson. For example, At 13:02, she let Rena pick a lucky winner from a box containing numbered slips of paper first although she was standing closer to the box. Then at 16:06, she gestured for Rena to switch positions with her so that Rena would be closer to the emcee. That's a really kind senior guiding her junior right there!

I've translated the short interview segment with Yukirin.

Q: When you arrived at Hong Kong Airport, the situation was quite chaotic. Did that frighten you?
(Note: According to what I've read, a lot of fans went to receive the girls at the airport and many tried to shake their hands or pass them gifts.)
Yukirin: We hardly meet this kind of situation in Japan. There were so many people who received us in Hong Kong and I feel quite happy.

Q: Who is your favourite Hong Kong celebrity?
Yukirin: (exchanges knowing look with Rena) Jackie Chan.

I believe a lot of us can't wait for 19 March when Yukirin's 3rd solo live DVD/Blu-ray will be released. There's still about a month to go but here's something to satiate our thirst (or to whet our appetite, depending on how you look at it ). Check out this breathtaking performance of Shortcake with a live orchestra at the concert. Yukirin looked absolutely splendid in the red dress and sounded great even when she was hovering above the crowd on a moving platform.

The camera work and editing are fantastic and make the performance even more magical than it already was. March needs to come soon. I can't stand waiting another day for my DVD to arrive!

Here's the radio preview of Yukirin singing Flying Get at her 3rd concert!

Congrats to the Yukirin Thread on reaching its 100th page!!

To celebrate this milestone, let's take a look at Yukirin's fashion sense (or the lack of it )! Earlier today, Watanabe Miyuki posted the following on her G+:

ゆきりん先輩の部屋着♡

ストライプ、ボーダー、チェック！！笑

これ載せて良かったのかわからないやつ！！

ごめんなさい！！！！笑

Translation:
Yukirin-senpai's home clothes ♡
Stripe, border, check!! Haha
I'm not sure if it's okay to post this!!
I'm sorry!!!! LOL

Ten minutes later, Yukirin replied on the post:
あかーん！！！ (Cannot!!!)

Well, too late Yukirin. The world has witnessed your horrible fashion sense again. Did you make your clothes using your bedsheets?
