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 activities as a unit in 2014.

4. Akicha will also be doing a drama in 2015 in a similar format to Save Point, 4 episodes, 30 minutes each.

 

Nevermind, I ended up translating about 90-95% of the posts. So much for summarizing it…

 

As you can tell, I was absent for over a month, I was quite sick during December and rested most of the holidays.  Things are finally settling down so I will continue posting Yukirin news. Unfortunately, my plans to update the website is on hold.

   Thanks for the translations, hope you are feeling better now x

   So not much on the FK front it would seem, and not much really on the 3rd single, though it is good to know that they are at least working towards it, or at lest waiting for the best opportunity to arise….

     Ya, I would think the focus would be on Yukirin’s 3rd single and possibly a concert or tour. Yukirin has indicated a few times that she would like to do a tour this year.

     Thanks, much better now, still not 100% but it’s way better than before.

       Well good to hear you are on the mend x

       Yeah I guessed from what Osawa-san said that Yukirin’s solo activities were the priority going forward.

       A tour would be fantastic, would be a great achievement for her
