Kobayashi Yui (Yuipon) / 1st Generation

Something tells me that I'll really like this girl after seeing her with a Les Gibson guitar. I've always noticed that Kobayashi's laid back + not getting the exposure she needs, so I'll be keeping an eye on her.

“I don’t want people to think that Keyaki is nothing without Hirate.”

We translated Yuipon's Bubka interview, "I am here"

wts twitter

 

Whoa! Is Keya always this dark inside? Scary.

 

i really hope that aki-p really gives keyaki more upbeat and cheerful songs
it's like they really lose themselves inside the songs they sing

 

1. Yui-chan has been a quiet outsider since we first saw her at the back of the room in their first training camp, in the fall of 2015. But the confidence has been growing inside, I believe.
2. Hirate and Yui-chan are among the members with a dark side. (Not a dark past, just a dark side.) And Hirate and others have noted that there are a lot of shy members.
3. I really like the dark songs (even My Coffin). But turning K46 loose on something resembling Kimi no Na wa Kibou or Inochi wa Utsukushii would be worth seeing.

 

Pon is lovely. Beautiful. I can look at her face for hours. I know she's a bit of a loner and quiet. I'm just concerned by the self-hating comments. I hope she can solve any problems she might be having. Would be sad to see her break down.

 

Yuipon is a lone wolf, quiet but ready to devour. I actually love the fact she speaks out her mind. I don't look at 'dark' chara or anything like that (not really into those) but more on the maturity and sense of responsibility she has. What she's basically saying is, "Tell me what to do, and I'll do it. I will find a way to do it".

'there are also people who think that it can't be helped and that bother me' - from someone with pride and a perfectionist, that's a pretty straightforward comment coming from her.
I like how the title and highlighted remark she made in that interview reads :
"I am here, I don't want people to think that Keyaki is nothing without Hirate"
Not taking a hit at anyone, but must be telling everyone that not one single member alone will carry this group and there's no moving forward unless each individual raise their own game. Starting with herself.
