5/31 Weekly Yukirin News Roundup

5/26 – 5/27 Handshake Events Two days of individual handshake events for the So Long! cd at Messe and Big Sight. The 5/26 day included people with tickets to the 4/30 event in which Yukirin fell ill and withdrew so the lineups were really long and the rounds went overtime. SKE48’s Forever Kenkyusei BBQ’s “1 Komeda” corner taken during the HS Event featured many AKB48 members including a very black Yukirin, who refused to say “1Komeda” on camera and running away.  Check out her video:  https://plus.google.com/u/0/108705263081706477178/posts/SF7nSejiGMU   (Yukirin appears at the end of the video)   5/27 – SMAP x SMAP AKB48 were guests on this episode, they performed a special medley of UZA – Sayonara Crawl and SMAP’s new song Joy. Yukirin looked mighty fierce in UZA.   5/28 – Kyoraku Co. Pachinko Event Team Surprise returns with 4 new songs for a new set of Pachinko games!  The Kyoraku sponsor release event features a short set list performance and MCs. The songs were recorded in Feb 2012 when Acchan was still a member so Kawaei Rina took over Acchan’s spot and filled in for Mayuyu’s position in the performances.

Kyoko Nishiyama Shared publicly – Yesterday 10:42 … Speaking of, it’ll be Rainy Season soon in the Kanto region. Although humidity doesn’t affect Saruoba’s hair style, it does worry many members. Anyways, it would be great if 6/5 and 6/8 will be nice weather. Ah, I’m not saying this willfully but it would be best if there was at least no rain. This means, should I ask Yukirin about that??? And then additional comment… Although Yukirin is a Rain Girl (^◇^;) In reality, there isn’t an ability to control over when it will rain, I’m just hoping（＾Ｏ＾☆♪ source: https://plus.google.com/111110869630425643279/posts/WP18vWZDR7U 5/30 Music Japan Th 5/30 episode features a performance of Mocchi’s solo debut and a talk segment with some of AKB’s soloist, Yukirin, Sasshi, Takamina, Mayuyu and Tomochin.  Mocchi’s question to the other members were 1.
