Yuipon is gorgeous. Oda Nana and Saito Fu have very good eyes for admiring her. She was a bit of a loner at first but she's been opening up to her fellow members gradually.

now i'm understand why yuipon give me the nanase vibe.

 

Yuipon has been giving me Nanase vibes since Keyaki debut. They look like sisters to me.

 

Yep, same here. Their mannerisms are similar too. Both give you strong urges to go and protect them.

 

Kobayashi shows her hidden talent with a serious karaoke rendition of Ai Otsuka's "Planetarium".
Kudos also to Saito Kyoko(I love ramen girl) for her deep voice and decent performance.

Decent is a bit of an understatement. I love Pon and her voice but Kyonko definitely did better. Pon seemed very nervous and her voice wavered a lot, albeit it produced a quality almost like she was about to cry that added to the performance imo. I would also say that she chose a harder song than Kyonko, one that had many high to low notes whereas Kyonko's choice was consistent and low - which falls into her range easily. Listening to some live Yuichanzu performances, it seems that Pon performs better at concerts rather than alone in a comparatively more intimate setting. Heck, I'd be incredibly nervous getting scored like that in front of a bunch of my friends who are expecting me to do very well.

 

You're right Saikou, Kyonko did get the higher score but she mentioned she goes to karaoke frequently with her dad contrast to Yuipon sings at the shower. After the Nagasawa and Iguchi mediocre performance, I was just blown away Yuipon had karaoke ability.

Yui-chan blog post translation: regrets over the national tour, plus love and admiration for the Hiragana-chans. Yui says she has nothing but regrets over the tour, and wants to work much harder. But she doesn't want to go into detail about the negatives.

She adds that the Hiraganas helped them many times, and she ended up admiring them and feeling Kanji has to work harder both to keep up and to make both groups stronger.

Here's a blog post collecting some things from recent Yui-chan blogs. When Yui's mother saw this outer robe, she said: "Makes ya look like a fish."

 

Perhaps more of a photo effect, but dang... Look at them legs...

When I first saw this picture yesterday (or was it the day before?) in Tumblr I didn't recognize Yuipon. This picture gives a completely different vibe of her.

 

I'm really interested on Yui's dance, she es really good. Anyone here can recomend me some video to see her dance skills? Hello minna
