thanks for sharing the video . Yui-chan's voice is really crisp & lovely. Her Romance Kakurenbo is memorable. will keep an eye for her in Team A. Kudo to Paruru's luck and I got more reason to watch Team A stage now.

 

Pretty good for her first performance.
I hope they promote her properly and allow her to grow and don't let her stuck below all the old gens the way the current 12-15th gens are.
They have a star in the making with her, and I'd hate to see it wasted considering how much NMB wanted her too.

 

wuaaaaaaah, Yui-chan already start her debut on AKB theater!!!

CUTENESS OVERLOAD HUWAAAAAAAAAAH >.<

 

Yui-chan did well at her debut stage! Her Romance Kakurenbo is good, actually she has a nice voice! I just wish the fans didn't call her name and only clapped because their screaming kinda ruined the first part XD But it's still a good performance and Yui-chan did well, she surprise me (in a good way).

I just watched her old Cm's, she had so many o__o Especially for Precure, maybe she had a contract with them XD And wow, she even had a Cm with Nakama Yukie! At 4:30. The little girl talking is Yui-chan, right? I'm asking because she's so little there so I'm not 100% sure, but I guess it's her. I don't think she's one of the kids sitting, right? We can barely see their faces XD So I guess she's indeed the little girl talking XD She's so young there. Cute!

She even had a group and a song before, interesting. So, she did commercials since she's little. She was part of a group and released a song/Pv. How about acting? She was a child actress too (or not)? I think I've read that she was a child actress (not sure)? >.< Waiting to see compilations of it... XD

 

@Mana the little girl in green dress was Yui-chan.

according to wiki profile, she did a few appearances in TV drama. I didnt see the role for Yui-chan listed there....so does it still consider child actress??

 

Something about Yui makes me think of Shiraishi Mai (N46) and Miwa. I'll be keeping an eye out for her from now on

 

Team A may have struck gold with this one.

 

...I thought she was Hashimoto Kanna when she performed last night...very odd.
At least AKB has another ex-child actress. Mion push 2.0?

 

At Hiwatashi Yui-chan's debut theater show she said: The senpai I admire are Watanabe Miyuki and Shimazaki Haruka.

That performance was so good

At first she looked a bit nervous, but halfway through that seemed completely gone. I can't wait to see more of her!

 

Her Romance Kakurenbo was very nice, I hope management will start promoting her soon she seems to have everything to make it big.

 

I loved this version of Romance Kakurenbo. Hiwatashi Yui is very cute

 

Some of Yui-chan's moments in Anta Dare? from some weeks ago (video compilation). She's cute! ^-^

@Mana thanks for that video and she looks cute & genki in Anta Dare episode.

random info about Yui-chan and Takamina. They worked in the same TV Drama in 2008 and the drama is called Saitou-San.
7 years later, Yui-chan team up with Takamina in Team A.

If she's not senbatsu in 3-4 years time then I'll eat my hat. I don't base that assessment on her performance which was adequate but on her aura, she's got a feeling of "star-quality" about her like Mion had/has.

 

Obviously it's going to take time(not even promoted yet), but in terms of aura the hype train may be big when she gets the call.
