Calling all YUKIRIN WORLD residents!!!! Similar to Last year, along with fans from Japan, China/HK/Taiwan and around the world, a Yukirin Birthday Message Festival campaign has been organized to celebrate Yukirin’s 23rd birthday on July 15th. This year’s campaign theme is HEART: ゆきりんワールドが世界中を❤で包んじゃうぞつ 2014.7.15 The 23rd Birthday Heart Project Let’s Embrace the World with Love from Yukirin World With what happened during the handshake event in May, everyone wanted to show that love can conquer anything. Yukirin said during the election that she wants to create a warm place for everyone. There is plenty of love from Yukirin World so let’s show everyone and Yukirin what we’ve got. hehe There are two parts to the campaign. 1. The goal is to leave 10,000 comments at Yukirin’s Ameba Blog. Typically, she will have a blog post talking about her own birthday that day, but the campaign will start with the latest post on July 15th at midnight. I wrote a How to leave a comment on Ameba blog guide. Let’s all wish Yukirin a wonderful birthday on July 15th!! Yukirin’s Blog : http://ameblo.jp/yuki-kashiwagi-we/ 2. To tweet at 4 different times on July 15th, 0:00 / 8:00 / 12:30 / 22:00 Japan Standard Time.

Thanks!!!

Although Osawa-san has said in his g+ that details for Yukirin’s new solo cm won’t be revealed until 7/1, it seems the site is already up?!? Looks like CM is for P&G (Procter & Gamble) products!?! The summer campaign is about men’s products for proper grooming and appearance. Yukirin will also be judging on men’s appearance?!? More details will be out July 1 on the proper information release day. http://www.myrepi.com/tag/pg-men http://www.myrepi.com/tag/pg-men-products http://www.myrepi.com/tag/pg-men-cm This is a pretty big one for Yukirin because it’s not just one particular product, it’s for P&G and P&G have many well known household products such as Braun, Gillette, Oral B, etc etc. CM Page: http://www.myrepi.com/tag/pg-men-cm Each cm will on air on different TV Stations, first one, the Gillette version, is scheduled on 7/2 on FujiTV at around 9pm. 7/3: Ariel Gel Ball CM on NTV around 9pm 7/4: Oral B CM on TV Asahi around 9pm 7/5: Car Febreeze CM on TV Tokyo around 9pm 7/6: H&S for men CM on TBS around 7pm. Other pictures from the website: Looks like there will be original QUO cards with Yukirin on it. QUO cards are basically prepaid cards....

On June 8th, Yuko’s graduation concert took place at Ajinomoto Stadium. The rain mostly held up for the concert, it poured a bit during the middle part. This concert is really part 2 of the concert series that was supposed to be held at National Olympic Stadium in March. The newly crown senbatsu members from the 37th single senbatsu election also performed “Shoujotachi Yo” together with live singing. The concert was all about Yuko and much like her personality, the graduation concert was mostly fun and energetic and not much a sobbing party (until the end). Yuko even had a handshake event with all 263 members on stage, the whole handshake took 22 minutes. For every member, Yuko said something personal to each and everyone of them. I wonder what she said to Yukirin. hehe As for unit song, Yukirin performed in 1994 Nen no Raimei with Yuko, Mayu, Paruru and M.Rena. Yukirin also performed with NMB48, new song Ibiza Girls and Nagiichi. Following the concert, 3rd generation members: Yukirin, Mayu, Lovetan, Harugon, Haachan, Nakayan and Tanamin went out to eat. Update: According to the Page interview following the concert, Yukirin said Yuko said to her “Yukirin, truly thank you”. Yukirin wasn’t sure what Yuko is thanking her for, but she replied I will do my best for the sake of AKB.

The 37th single senbatsu election was held at Ajinomoto Stadium on June 7th. The rain did not let up the whole day so the concert was shortened prior to the election. Yukirin ranked in at #3 with 104,364 votes! TOP 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was really proud of Yukirin’s speech when she talked about the importance of handshake events and that she does not want to lose the interactions with fans. She wants to continue to build a warm place with the fans. The official election website was quickly updated: Speech: After the election, in studio with Yuko, Mayu & Takamina Photoset: Source: http://mdpr.jp/news/detail/1372386 http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2038350/full/ http://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/20140608/akb14060805010020-n1.html http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2014/06/07/kiji/K20140607008319340.html http://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/akb48/news/f-et-tp0-20140607-1314162.html http://www.musicvoice.jp/news/20140607015001/...
