Congrats Yukirin on finally getting a solo center A-side position

 

Yes, congrats Yukirin!!!

This single will be a perfect conclusion to her 17 years as an idol. Especially since she never solo centered, so this completes all that she could achieve as an idol... She mentioned when Yokaze no Shiwaza won the RH this year that this was her first time ranking #1 in AKB. So she achieved that too ^^ The solo center single is all that was missing, now it will happen! I'm curious about what kind of song and MV will be given to her. Looking forward to it

After an MC and MM's performance of 'Suggoi FEVER', Yukirin joined the group to perform their big hit from 2000 'Ren'ai Revolution 21'. At the end there was a surprise for Yukirin:

I've looked at official sources such as Yukirin's SNS and the website of her management company and tour promoter Watanabe Pro but I can't see any mention.

She is mentioned in a Bunshun article together with Kojima Haruna.
https://bunshun.jp/articles/-/68231
[On the floor with a bewitching look...] Haruna Kojima in "crimson bra" vs. Yuki Kashiwagi in "string panties" A too sexy "lingerie war" is brewing!
A deep red bra and shorts decorated with delicate lace.Former AKB48 member Kojima Haruna (35) is wearing underwear that reveals her cleavage, showing off her seductive expression.She is taking publicity photos for this winter's new underwear brand that she produces, but it seems like she has become extremely exposed...Kojima, also known as Kojiharu, has used his "marshmallow body" as a weapon to attract not only male but also female fans since his days as an idol.After graduating from AKB48 in 2017, she founded an apparel company.The concept store in Omotesando is popular with people of all ages, especially people in their 30s, and is so popular that on weekends it's not uncommon to wait an hour to get in.

Kojima also demonstrates her ability as a manager. "Kojima, who graduated in her prime, succeeded in attracting female fans to his apparel brand. She gave her juniors her products as gifts to promote them, and she invited Yasushi Akimoto to an exhibition to create a buzz. She is also demonstrating his ability as a manager.'' (Sports reporter)

Kojima launched an underwear brand in September 2022.
"Apparel companies often release underwear, but the fit is often poor.However, Ms. Kojima's underwear is comfortable to wear and designed to make a woman's body look beautiful.20 years in the lingerie industry.Mr. Kojima went out of his way to bring in a veteran designer who is more than 20 years old, and you can see the passion Kojima has for making underwear.'' (Lingerie industry official)

"Clearly cleavage" showing off her sexy underwear...
Her "hotness" is also reflected in her publicity photos in which she is the model.Initially, she sometimes wore a jacket to limit the exposure of her skin, but in this winter's collection, she lays on the floor with a seductive expression, or looks in the mirror with a seductive figure with a clear cleavage.Also a photo of me standing in front.``Standing in front of the mirror is a message that says,
``If you wear this underwear, your body will look beautiful. Be confident in yourself.'' It's also a clever way to send that message.'' (ibid.)However, Kojima is not the only one who has turned to the "sexy route".
Actually, Yuki Kashiwagi (32), also known as ``Yukirin,'' also shows off her sexy underwear on her Instagram.'' (Reporter mentioned above)
In April 2018, Kashiwagi became an ambassador for the women's underwear brand "La Vijour."This brand specializes in revealing and sexy underwear, and last summer, when he became the brand's ambassador for the third time, he wore a bold black lace ``string panties.''A company spokesperson also says the following.``
When shooting, I'm not only trying to create a sparkling idol image, but I'm also conscious of a slightly sexy image as an adult woman.''

Who will win the “underwear war”?
Kashiwagi will graduate from AKB48 this spring, bringing an end to her 17-year career as an idol. How passionate are you about lingerie? I asked her agency, but..."She doesn't have anything in particular in mind. He's just doing advertising work." (Representative from his agency)
What a confusing answer.Furthermore, it seems that dark clouds are hanging over the idol activities that are about to graduate.
``Kashiwagi, who is also the first idol in her 30s in the group's history, will hold a solo concert tour for the first time in about 6 years before graduating. However, ticket sales seem to have been sluggish, so she posted a ticket purchase on her official YouTube."(Reporter, mentioned above)
It goes without saying that the winner of the glorious "underwear war" will be the winner.

 

Yukirin's Tokyo concert on 1/27 will be livestreamed by U-NEXT:

The X post includes an embedded 100-second digest video of a past concert which is also available on YouTube but it's geoblocked for me (www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l7jvts44Ro) and it does appear that U-NEXT is only available in Japan.
