About Me

I’m a Yukirin fan from Canada.

This blog was created to share information about Kashiwagi Yuki aka Yukirin, my AKB kami-oshi, with other Yukirin fans.   I knew of AKB48 back in 2009, fell in love with Yukirin because of Majisuka Gakuen & AKBingo. Yukirin has been my kami-oshi ever since. I usually go by sillythings in the English fandom~

My Japanese is now at the level where I can generally understand what is going on but definitely not fluent. I use the opportunity of translating stuff to keep improving since I don’t have time to attend class. Anything I translate on here is done to the best of my abilities, if there are any mistake, please let me know! (that’s how I can learn~)

More details:

I attended the 1830m handshake event in October 2012 and shook hands with Yukirin three times (lost out on the 2-shot). It was my first AKB event, first handshake event. It was an absolute dream come true to meet Yukirin. Although she may not have the biggest female fanbase, those that are, just absolutely adores Yukirin (me included)! Well, I love Yukirin! lol

In October 2013, I attended my second handshake event and met Yukirin again!!! You can read my 2013 handshake report here: http://kashiwagiyukirin.com/2013/10/19/1633/

 

In November 2014, I went to Team B concert in Kagoshima. It was my first AKB48 concert! It was absolutely amazing. To witness Yukirin perform Kazanbai in her hometown, a moment I won’t forget!

 

In November 2015, I attended French Kiss concert at Saitama Super Arena. It was an awesome concert and I’m so glad to have gone.

 

I attended Yukirin’s 1st Solo Tour Concerts in Osaka and Nagoya in April 2016 and the final tour stop in Kagoshima in May 2016!! No words can really describe it. It was simply an amazing experience and Yukirin was so awesome.
