Yukatan's first Showroom!

I've been watching the 9th gen documentary and the 9th gen intro at the camp (it's all in the 9th gen thread starting from this post), and it made me really like Yukatan. She's really cute and funny, especially that part in the camp where she had to eat the bugs haha. I also love when she imitates the emotions of a dog, it's sooo cute ;w; So I decided to watch her first SR!

Here's what I understood...

- She first introduced herself, and her outfit of the day (she later says that she got this outfit from her sister). She also did her cute catchphrase (kirarararan~). She was not alone in the room, it had other 9th gens including her sister! You can sometimes hear them laughing at what Yukatan says lol.
- Yukatan randomly said that her dream for the future is to become... a dog? XD She laughed and others did too, she corrected herself saying that it's a lie, but later she said it again XD
- She talked about her imitations of the emotions of a dog, and at 2:06 she does the same thing but rabbit version. it's SO CUTE
- She talked about being the center during the first performance of 9th gen at the New Year stage. She was really happy.
- She mentioned that she participated in the song "Imasara Dotonbori" in NMB's new album "NMB13". I went to the wiki page of the song and she's the only 9th gen to be in the song :O
- She said that she is the type to laugh a lot. and that the other 9th gen members tell her that she is strange lol. I also think she's kinda weird (in a good way), it's really cute and funny!
- She was asked which song she would want to perform with her sister (Wakatan), and she answered "Heart no Dokusenken".
- She was asked about a recent story related to her sister and she said that lately they've been arguing about cakes, about who will eat it, she imitated it a bit. well, that's just cute haha
- She said that Yuumin is really nice (they worked together since Yuumin produced the 9th gen stage).
- She talked about being the same age with Yoshimin and Reina in 9th gen, but that they're all very different and all are good.
- 7:18 and 8:54 she tries to wink ;D
- She was asked if she's good at cooking and she said yes but then she said that it's a lie, she can cook an omelet though and she said that she will send a recipe on mobame lol cute :3
- She said that she is ok with punishments (during variety shows), though later she mentions that she absolutely can't eat insects (as we saw during the camp haha).
- She said that one of her goals is to perform a unit with her sister. well, this actually came true recently, she got to perform "Wagamama na Nagareboshi" with Wakatan at the theater!
- She likes spicy food.
- She was asked if she more indoor or outdoor type and she answered indoor, she loves staying indoor and playing games.
- She talked about a story with Akira-sensei (their teacher) when she was wearing a shirt that said "I'm 99% confident" and he asked her where's the other 1%, and this made her think.
- She has no other siblings, it's only her and Wakatan.

This is it! So many informations in just 14 minutes haha. This was fun to watch ^^ Yukatan is adorable, she really has the manners and personality of an idol Some cute screenshots:

 

Here's the performance of "Wagamama na Nagareboshi" with Yukatan and Wakatan!
Both of them are so cute, and I love these outfits, perfect outfits for an idol song ^^

Little compilation of Yukatan MC moments
She's always so cute >.< anything she does and also her voice... cute!
Especially at 0:52, her reaction after Honopii got her name wrong >.<
and also the part with the taco dance, haha

Seems like she still wants to "be a dog"
Her reaction when Honopii told her to graduate from it and be human...



This is even funnier in video lol

Btw Yukatan was also super cute when 9th gens did the Werewolf game!

Her Yasashiku Suru Yori Kiss wo Shite posted above is seriously Kami level performance!
She fits that Showa style so well, and she's just got that "Idol" aura to herself.

Aobara girls will save NMB honestly.

is yuuka a great singer? no. her voice sounds immature. but she's confident, and she knows enough to know when she is straining. Cross is a difficult song, she struggled a bit, legacy song of the great takaiyanagi akane. overall, i find yuka and her sister very pleasant to listen to
