Kashiwagi Yuki – 18:11 Thank you for the handshake event! Yesterday as well as today ^^ The concurrent position in NGT48, “Where ever you go, we will follow!” To hear that made me very very happy.

Was supposed to be the same color as before, but it was surprisingly darker. Since the color will fade fast, it’s ok!!! When I get home today, I will play piano and try again to make cheese and plantain stuffed chicken breast thingy. ^ ^   2015-03-21 13:43 (no subject) Shooting NOW ^_^ Is lunch here yet? ^_^   So no surprise, Yukirin was dieting these few days cause it seems she has gravure shoots. lol I wonder if she plays piano regularly still or is it for something…...

Yukirin Election 2015 Donation Drive for Oversea Fans (5/7)

As mentioned before, the Japanese Yukirin Election Committee has made it available for oversea fans to donate money to the “Yukirin for #1 Cause”  (hehe) To make it easier for oversea fans (and to save a bit on the bank transfer fee), I will accept money via Paypal and pool all the money together and send it to the Japanese Yukirin Election committee. Japanese Yukirin Election committee website: http://2015.yuki-election.com/     If you want to donate, send an email to () I will confirm and send you Paypal details. No amount is too small (or too big) Thanks!!! You can also contact me via twitter: https://twitter.com/sillythings48 Period to Send Money: March 21st to May 6th  Please check out other fan campaigns in links below. All donators will be provided with information such as total collected, amounted transferred, etc. Bonus gifts.  I will have a draw for donators and give away various Yukirin official photos (mostly doubles of photos that I intentionally or unintentionally got lol) and cds. Details to come on the actual gifts. For any donators that are interested, I will have a draw and give away the following two photos (one to each person): This is a Thank You from me to you all Yukirin fans!!!   To answer some questions… 1. Why not just collect money and buy the tickets? Given past experience, buying tickets is difficult when you are not living in Japan. Last year, Yukirin World did a great job securing 200 tickets but that was the limit.  Timing is also tight when the seller has to send us the tickets physically.   2. Can we trust you? I think my online presence as an AKB fan is sufficient enough (I hope), usually went by the username of Sillythings. I used to be very active on Stage48, since 2010. I was a timer/translator/QA for SUB48. I’m most active now on twitter (sillythings48) and for this website. For anyone that does donate, I will provide proof of money transfer to the Japanese Yukirin Committee bank account. I initially had planned this year to just donate and vote where I can because I wasn’t sure if I can commit to anything. But, several people have asked me to do something so here it is. haha   3. Can we trust the Japanese Committee? That is something for you to decide.   Cheers, Maddie   Other Yukirin Fangroup Campaigns Indonesian Yukirin Fangroup Ticket Drive: http://arupyon1290.tumblr.com/post/115557911896/vote-for-yukirin-fundraising Chinese Yukirin Fangroup: http://yuyuyukirin11.5150.cnaaa7.com/read.php?tid=3165 YumeNoRui on Stage48: Yumenorui on...

Ramblings 2015-03-10 17:15:11 I haven’t written in awhile. There have been various things hasn’t it?   Although I have no confidence in gathering the stuff, let’s try writing them. (・Д・)ノ   First of all, March 4th! The new song, has me and Kojima-san as W Center! 【Green Flash】 is on sale~   And, first week million sales and Oricon weekly chart No.1! Truly, thank you very much. So many people listened to this song that I love, I am truly happy from the bottom of my heart.   Even just a little, taking the long way is fine There might be good things tomorrow (Note: Lyrics from Green Flash) My favourite lyrics.   It would be great if this became a song that everyone loves.     Coupling song 【Haru no Hikari Chikazuita Natsu】 The dance and the mv were very stylish and cute. The outfits were totally different for every member~   This song only has AKB members so I was allowed to sing it.   I played with my hair accessories. Theme is a girl’s toy box. Please enjoy both songs.   Lately, I have appeared on a lot of magazines.   Weekly Playboy.   My offshot also got cameraman Tatsuo-san Please take a look.   Professionals are amazing I thought. Eh? This look like a page from the magazine doesn’t it? lol   An uncle that is tender and mean yet cute lol   So that’s how it was!!   Although somehow I can’t use my voice And my throat is sore but I am feeling just fine lol   I have been doing gravure shoots since this morning. Fun fun. Please also look forward to it Until next time   Long post, I may have gotten distracted along the way LOL but it’s nice that Yukirin posted. Congrats AKB on another Million...

Yukirin Election 2015 (Updated 3/4)

I’m happy to announce that the Japanese Yukirin Election Committee is now accepting donations from overseas!!!! The Japanese committee’s headquarter website : http://2015.yuki-election.com Also available in English and Chinese. I would like to start a donation drive. There is a bank transfer fee involved so I was thinking to we could do it in batches where I can accept money via Paypal and then send to the Japanese Committee directly. What do Yukirin fans think? From last year’s experience, only a limited number of tickets that can be bought without physically being in Japan. There was a lot of interest by everyone to donate more but we could not accept it. By donating to the Japanese committee, it makes it a lot easier. If you’re interested, let me know. Yukirin World Unite!!!! Maddie   Last year’s support video (a new one is coming…)...
