At first I thought it was my imagination, but after watching her in the last Nemouso Tv and checking her Instagram and her Gal Style, I can confirm it right here and now, Tomochin and the Gal Aidoru have descended once again for us. Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk
Some cross 48G interaction: Yuichi went home to her Sasebo hometown in Nagasaki, and met her old friend, HKT48 Eguchi Kokoha! https://twitter.com/yuichi_akb48/status/1744690635440030064 Her hometown looks very nice and natural https://twitter.com/yuichi_akb48/status/1743966283098730795 https://twitter.com/yuichi_akb48/status/1742500048452407513 Yeah, it's great how Yuichi can pull both cute and cool so distinctly!
Yuichi had a theater performance today (Jan 20 - evening show) (pic from noon show) https://twitter.com/CoyoteKos/status/1748595418861130047 and had several happening episodes -------------------------- Happening 1 At introduction greeting part, After ChanHina did her part, slight silence, and then Yuichi looked straight to Azu, who thought it was a signal to say her part..... Poor Azu said it and the senpais told her it's not that yet. Actually it was Yuichi's part of the MC instead, that she herself forgot video : https://twitter.com/CoyoteKos/status/1748656782757806161 ------------------------------- Happening 2 Not really her mishap but it just happened at her singing part. During Junai no Crescendo, on her part, the sound suddenly got cut off for 3 secs. She was confused but amazingly also able to recover quickly, and continued on like a pro Her surprised face was really cute though video: https://twitter.com/CoyoteKos/status/1748647549039427890 Sound staff-san should apologize and give her some snacks later ------------------------- Happening 3 At the end of the show, after saying goodbyes to the VR camera, Yuichi went to the side of stage and started doing some "sexy" poses. and Mizumin from off-camera simply just retorted : "IT'S TOO EARLY!" video : https://twitter.com/Team4_2001_0228/status/1748647439580750148 Funny stuffs like will hopefully make her grow better and maybe retell them for future MCs
Yuichi's official coverage of Hiichan's graduation concert: a LONG 41mins coverage, mostly Yuichi on screen if the video does not show watch the video here So that's where these recent photos came from: Hugging Hiichan https://twitter.com/yuichi_akb48/status/1751519847383806374 Solo shot with Hiichan T-shirt https://twitter.com/yuichi_akb48/status/1752820338864582996 With Yukirin-senpai, trying to make the ramen pose viral: https://twitter.com/yuichi_akb48/status/1751939256581513474
I watched Yuichi's recent showroom (Feb 10): if the video does not show watch the video here Kohi was there and their interactions were fun! Kohi watched and praised Yuichi's coverage of Hiichan's grad con. Yuichi just leaked that the next SokoMira show might be on Feb 24 (around 7:10) It's unannounced yet at this point Kohi's silence and Yuichi trying to change the topic kinda confirms it for me About Valentine Chocolate (starting 14:07) Yuichi proudly announces she'll make some chocolate for this Valentine. Kohi doubts it with how busy they are lately. Also she doesn't want to eat Yuichi's since the picture of snacks Yuichi sometimes sent her are horror movie materials Yuichi takes offense at this and reveals that she was popular when she was in elementary school in Nagasaki, like 50 kids asked her for Valentine chocolate, she says. Kohi, a responsible adult, breaks Yuichi's dream by saying that little kids just want NUMBERS to show off, not important from whom they'll get it. Yuichi still argues that's not true and she actually has made more chocolate than the resident SnackMaster of 18ki, ChanHina. How much of this is true is unknown, Yuichi likes to exaggerate her talks after all xD Yuichi is good at eating most vegetables (*as long as it's stir-fried) (from 18:22) School stuff section: Yuichi recently asked during her high school interview: "Is the lunch tasty?" to the interviewer. And she passed the interview! Kohina would've failed any applicants asking that question. I'm worried about this girl's school stuff: Yuichi went to school this week, and at that moment she learned that it was a test day for 3 subjects. She hadn't touched any textbook/notes before that, so she went all in with instincts for the answers. That day she was very sleepy too, she can even barely wrote her name properly. Next week she'll know the result, and she's confident it will barely hit 2 digits score Yuichi: Look, look, doesn't this pose look mature? Kohi: Nope, it looks like a middle schooler's Yuichi's reaction: Kohi was a badminton club manager (52:33), she wants to try playing badminton with Yuichi. Kohi teases Yuichi that if a 19ki younger than Yuichi comes in she'll dote on that girl more than Yuichi , Yuichi's upset reaction is pretty cute (starting around 1:13:41)
this girl have "future center" written all over her. she looks somewhat like a hybrid of new and old akb members lol. round face shapes like Oguri Yui and Yamauchi Mizuki, but have features (crooked teeth) like Oshima Yuko and Itano Tomomi. not forget to mention, a good performer as well. i wont be surprised if she will be appointed as the future “ace”. shes just pretty with enough “odd features” to pass as akb center.
Yuichi will be on UpToBoy vol 337, on sale March 23!

She's always eating something at all times, no wonder I feel she has grown a lot taller since last year's debut! Hopefully she'll have more chances to exhibit her powerful dance skills this year! Also lately I feel she's been more infatuated with Gal style stuff, is she trying to make it her character?
As per tradition in Tadaima Renaichuu stage, the birthday girl gets to wear the megane (glasses) in Darui Kanji. Fans also often make special chants for these occasions. March 21 was Yuichi's birthday show, so she got the megane: https://twitter.com/yuichi_akb48/status/1770786229950304738 video: https://twitter.com/Team4_2001_0228/status/1770836240301953245 The fan chants were : "Yuichi! Yuichi! Yuichi! Yuichi! wa yappari ramen taberucchan!" or "Yuichi! Yuichi! Yuichi! Yuichi! indeed eats ramen!" + some Nagasaki dialect like her self-intro. To which Yuichi couldn't help but laugh , but then quickly reformed her expression to suit the song. ======================== The magazine was released.
