This clip is a slideshow of Yuika, with a song from the "Swing Girls" sound track, entitled "Make Her Mine", a cover of the original song by a sort of one hit wonder band from mid 60's British mod scene called the "Hipster Image"

Before we get back to Yuika, let's listen to Hipsters Image and the song "Make Her Mine"

A brief biography of Hipsters Image courtesy of Bruce Eder and this website: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/p437760

by Bruce Eder
A hot mod band of the mid-'60s discovered by Animals managers Mike Jeffries and, in their one single, produced by Alan Price, Hipster Image managed to become a major band on the London club scene without ever charting a record. They were already established around Keele University when the group got to put two soul numbers onto a Jimmy Savile-sponsored flexidisc record issued at the university, which got them noticed by Jeffries and into a recording studio in London. Typical of Decca's judgement, the B-side, "Make Her Mine," was the better of the two songs and a popular club single. Despite these breaks, the band was never able to sustain itself and ultimately broke up, although their four surviving songs have since emerged on CD, and "Make Her Mine" is an acknowledged classic.

Sigh, not her most important hobby though, sure(hope) there's more out there, she does have another PB

Kinda really looks like Kaho here.

Yuika at a promo event last week for the release of her new photo book that was talked about above.

Yoshino · « **Reply #8 on:** January 06, 2012, 08:27:59 AM »

Yuika had wanted マペット to have that pic^^ in the first post, after all she had wanted to cut the tape for a new thread.

But she wasn't too sad, baked an oishii cake to celebrate the occasion.

And qualifies for the good pairing competition, with Keiko on the set of the Dear Friends movie and at a promo event for it.

Here is great Georgia Coffee CM with Yuika, and music provided by the King............ (Georgia is a Coca Cola owned brand)

Yoshino · « **Reply #11 on:** January 06, 2012, 11:02:14 PM »

Didn't think it could happen but it looks like Kaho has some competition for the best you-know-what.

This is a movie of her's I'd really like to see, doesn't have the lead but looks like a big enough role plus the entire cast is good, found it at one place but as what's becoming a sad theme, unsubbed,

yet think it is because it's been shown at some film festivals.

Yoshino · « **Reply #19 on:** February 03, 2012, 04:06:57 AM »

Promo spread from the Dear Friends movie.
