7/25 Yukirin Daily Roundup & Twitter (Eng Trans)

Daily Roundup of Yukirin related events on July 25th including Handshake Event and Fireworks Festival.

4/5 Yukirin HS Event Roundup & 755/Twitter (Eng Trans)

The Green Flash individual handshake event took place on April 5th at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. The night before, Yukirin stayed up late watching the latest 2nd Gen Draft Girls videos which featured each girl dancing and singing to a song. She probably went to sleep around 3am!   Yukirin updated 755 during the lunch break and after the hs event. Translations below.   Yukirin spilled corn soup all over her skirt! LOL that clumsy girl!     Yukirin also gave Riorin some lesson clothing that she no longer wore so Riorin was super high tension! lol https://plus.google.com/115776582911608446200/posts/4spV31WRbFZ   She also tweeted about the HS Event but no blog this time.   We later learned that all the 2nd Gen Draft girls were at the handshake event to meet with all the 48Group captains and scoutmans. Yukirin also went and met with the girls to gather notes (which explains why she didn’t go to sleep and was watching the youtube videos). Yukirin really cares about the future of AKB.   Source: http://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/akb48/news/1440990.html http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2051172/full/ http://news.dwango.jp/?itemid=19214...

10/19 Koisuru Fortune Cookie Yukirin Handshake Report

I will post my full handshake report later, below is just Yukirin’s part for now. The ones for Haruu and Miyupon needs editing. I also want to write about the sendoff for Sae and Nacchan at the end of the event which I participated. The handshake event was at Pacifico Yokohama. My hotel was really close by so it was a convenient walk over to the event. I had handshake tickets for Yukirin in Rounds 2, 4, 5 & 6. Round 3 is when most of the members are on break.   I was rather nervous at the beginning as we were lining up in the waiting area prior to Round 2. My stomach was actually hurting for a bit. The waiting area was next to the goods lane area so there were lots of people and not a lot of space. I was surprised how nervous I got. Luckily, Yukirin’s line is always long and it gave me a lot of time to settle myself before it was time to meet her in Round 2. Yukirin was in Lane 97. Harukyan was in Lane 96 and Miichan was in the Lane 98. If there are certain things you want to say, you have to think ahead of time and be ready since you really only get about 8 secs. You can’t really go in with long sentences either or you’ll run out of time. I also find my Japanese grammar goes out the door when talking to them. LOL Yukirin started Round 2 about 20 minutes late.  I wasn’t nervous by the time it was my turn. Round 2 (I walked in and noticed what Yukirin was wearing. She’s wearing a tie! Holds Yukirin hands. OMG! I get to see Yukirin again!!!) M: Good Morning! Y: Good Morning! (She had a nice smile, not the typical big big smile) M: I’m from Canada Y: Ehhhh (typical Yukirin reaction) M: It’s been a year! Y: wow (cute smile) M: I missed you! (hehe) Y: (Yukirin took away one hand and gave me thumbs up) (Times Up!) M: See you later! (waves bye bye) Y: (waves) It was obvious Yukirin was really tired, I had read earlier reports from Round 1 about Yukirin’s condition. As a fan, it kinda hurts to see your oshi so tired yet still giving their all to their fans. After Yukirin, I went to see Miyupon in Round 2. Round 4 (Yukirin seems to have rested a bit during the break and seems perkier) M:...
