What Yukirin is talking about is probably a different series, but I vaguely remember reading a translated tweet somewhere saying that the original plan for this series was for member distribution to be random, but Shinobu-san (& probably others) complained, so that idea was scrapped. The tweet I found was probably based off this clip, but I'm not sure. https://twitter.com/makoteam8akita/status/1618620735660118027 As for shipping for this series, they're meant to all be sent out by the end of the week, so hopefully not long now. Edit: I just received an email saying that my order has shipped, so yours shouldn't be too far away.
It looks like we have an answer to what money maker Yukirin couldn't talk about at the beginning of the year Cosmetics https://upink.jp/

And that's why you always double check what someone tells you before you start saying it yourself... poor Yukirin lol
In the latest update on Theater shows the Official Blog has listed 2 solo performances by Yukirin on 4/8 for her 16th Anniversary: https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12795749404.html She's tweeted that she will *not* announce graduation there : https://twitter.com/Yukiriiiin__K/status/1640637056530653184

'A ridiculous DM from a fan': if the video does not show watch the video here Also just to report that I spotted a promotion yesterday for her cosmetics brand 'upink' in a store in Nagoya:
Cross posting from Tomochin's thread, Yukirin appeared on TV earlier today (26th) with Tomochin. Kintaro also made an appearance, dressed as always as Acchan in her Iiwake Maybe isho. It's crazy how that's still her stick even 11 years after Acchan's graduation
