A couple of days ago Yukirin appeared on a Fuji TV show, the title of which translates as 'The story of Matsumoto Hitoshi's drinking spree' (credit to uploader): 'Daily Sports' has an article about her appearance which I personally found to be very interesting: https://nordot.app/991873016226234368 Deepl Translation: This is of big interest to me because the very first AKB48 member I ever met was Yukirin back in March 2016 and it was in the first slot of the day at 9.00 am. She looked to me to be barely awake and she didn't say a word. I had a 2-shot with her but at least I got a half-smile from her: I've often thought about that meeting and why it was so different to the others I had that day, maybe now I know. However I met her again in 2019 and more recently I've had a couple of online talks with her which all went very well, she was very lively and friendly each time. I do recommend meeting her - but maybe not first thing in the morning.

important data: I would also like to add that her feet do not smell. as discovered by her seniors just like Eriko said about her own shoes, Yuki's practice shoes may be dirty, but the feet are clean.

It's nice to see Yukirin sticking up for the fans. I noticed the situation with the randomised acrylic stands, I thought it was a real rip-off. With HKT at least you get to pick the members who's stand you want. Ordering nama-shashin is a pain too, the pre-order period is way too short and if you miss out, well screw you is the AKB attitude. Also they charge seperate postage for AKB and Team 8 photo sets so they screw you on the postage and handling charges too. Anyway, kudos to Kashiwagi for mentioning the crap AKB merch system, it's details like this that matter to the fans.
I stopped ordering photosets as (for example) the Christmas ones wouldn't be sent out until February and although I wanted to include Berin in my orders for my top oshis I always left her out as I refused to pay a second lot of postage just because she's an Eito. I did order an acrylic stand but I think perhaps it's a different thing to what Yukirin was talking about? What I've ordered is one that's 120mm tall, I could select the member I wanted (in my case Komi, I've just re-checked my order and her name definitely appears on it) and it's 1,300 JPY (plus postage) which I don't think is too bad. What I do think is bad however is that I ordered it back on 1/21 and it's still awaiting shipping.
The ordering to delivery does take a very long time. I ordered a photoset in the middle of January and it was only delivered to the proxy service a couple of days ago. I think by the time it arrives here it will have been a full two months.
I wonder if they actually only produce the exact amount that's pre-ordered and that's why it takes so long - because they have to actually start producing the items after pre-order period is over. Also makes sense why there are no real examples of the goods and just designs for most of them.
