Osawa-san 755 Posts about Yukirin & French Kiss (Eng Trans)

Osawa-san’s 755 can be found here: http://7gogo.jp/lp/sihx9XdJaR-WkVIvojdMdG== He has posted quite a few things regarding Yukirin and French Kiss. Below is a summary of all various points that he posted. It is not a full translation but rather the important points (in my opinion).   The important one is about Yukirin’s 3rd single: Regarding Yukirin’s 3rd single. Of course, preparatory meetings have begun. The first single happened with Mielino, the 2nd coincided with Zexy CM, gimmicks must be prepared but with consideration to the timing of AKB & NMB’s work. I have discussed with Yukirin since last year and her desires were written down in her own blog at New Year’s. For the 1st single & Mielino, I met with TV Tokyo about 8 months prior to the drama airing. For the Zexy collaboration, it was first discussed when my own company produced the Zexy CM with 30 talents proposing. Please understand that it is still in preparatory stages. I fully understand the feelings of Yukirin and Yukirin’s supporters. I hope to be able to continue along with the fans in continuing Yukirin’s dream.   Regarding French Kiss: 1. For those hoping for Kiss Tabi 2, both Kiss Tabi & Akicha’s radio show is sponsored by Imoto no Wifi’s service provider Xcom Global. I have been adviser for XCom Global for 3 years, helping with PR for Imoto no Wifi. So for the 2014 PR promotions, one of them was Kiss Tabi. For 2015, I have been in discussions with the president of Xcom Global. The general direction is that we will be doing Kiss Tabi again this year. There are of course various things and timings to consider but please look forward to Kiss Tabi 2. PS. Kuramochi & Kuramochi’s dad are also wanting to see it LOL 2. While French Kiss Premium Live from 10/22 was recorded, there are no current plans to release it on dvd. Considering releasing it as a bonus video. There are no current plans to release anything French Kiss related in the near future, but the bonus video will be included when there is a release. 3. About French Kiss’ album. November 2012, Akicha decided to go to JKT; February 2013, Yukirin solo debuted; May 2013, Kuramochi solo debuted. During these two years, you can see from other units’ activities that an album is a unit’s compilation. An album will be released when French Kiss reaches the point to do a compilation. I am relieved that French Kiss was able to do...

9/20 Weekly Yukirin News Roundup

Exciting week with the announcement of Yukirin as a regular cast of the drama 『よろず占い処 陰陽屋へようこそ』 “Yorozu uranai dokoro onmyoya e yokoso”. Blog post about the drama: http://kashiwagiyukirin.com/2013/09/17/1469/ 9/18 Janken The Janken Tournament is always fun to watch! It’s become a wonderful event with a lot of fanfare. The members have a great time and the fans have a great time. The 33rd single “Heart Electric” was also revealed with Kojima Haruna as center! The match between Yukirin and Mayuyu was one of the main focus of the preliminary rounds. They got slightly different treatment as they both got to say something prior to the match. Sadly, Yukirin lost in 5 seconds. lol Mayu’s cosplay was great, I loved Yukirin’s reaction to Mayu’s blown kiss.   9/19 Drama Crank In day September 19th was the first day of filming for the drama “Yorozu uranai dokoro onmyoya e youkoso”. The official twitter for the drama, https://twitter.com/onmyoyayoukoso, tweeted in the morning that they are filming on set, at a Izakaya (Japanese style bar). During the Janken Tournament, during the FujiTV broadcast, Yukirin was talking to Miichan and Sayanee and she mentioned she will start filming tomorrow so I figured she was likely part of that scene. Later in the day, Yukirin blogged about cranking in! Another member of the cast, Miyakawa Ichirota, also blogged about the crank in day. The drama announced another big name joining the cast, Ryotaro Sugi. It’s his first time appearing in a weekly modern drama in 33 years! He plays the owner of the izakaya called “狐火” (kitsunebi). It seems the izakaya will be a regular set for the drama. Ichirota mentioned Yukirin was there.
