^ I was wondering if she had a chance to do that, too! They haven't mentioned it yet, so probably not....

On King's Brunch, Kumai-chan traveled to snowy Hakodate.

At the beginning of this upload of it, there is also a short clip of where the show named the W reunion as one of the top entertainment news stories of the week.

During another part of Brunch, her height caused a familiar problem again, as these screenshots show......

Yurina was a guest on the variety show Pinpoint Industry History.

One of the MCs on the program is HKT48 member Sashihara Rino.

Also appearing was Noro Kayo, formerly of SDN48/AKB48.

Here are video clips from Twitter of some of Yurina's part of the show. In the first one, she and Sasshi do the inevitable height comparison.

Yurina announced during the MCs that this year she will have four casual dinner shows the week of her birthday in August, but no FC b'day event.

 

The Kumai photobook that is among the goods this time is getting praise from people who bought it at the event.

I was wondering how many casual dinner shows Kumai-chan has done since graduating. I checked, and this was the 18th set of them she has done since 2015. So, total 36 cds performances since grad.. 

[LittleBerry]

^

A lot of good songs in that setlist~ And all of the goods look great, great to hear people like the photobook, I wish I could get it too :c

 

Is Yurina the OG who has done the most of these events? I have no idea but I've always wondered...

Goto Maki was a guest at the show. Kumai-chan can be seen on the right side behind Maki in this photo.

Here is a new interview with Yurina about decisions on life and career after Berryz Kobo, being an idol, her love of cars, her TV and modeling work, fans, etc. She also mentions her love for Maki. Nice read.

[Honeybear]

So, Goto Maki wrote a blog post about seeing Kumai-chan at the fashion show....

When Yurina saw it she wrote an emotional, touching blog post in return.

And today, Maki thanked her. I'm glad she saw Yurina's post.

The FC bus tour in Okinawa with Yurina and Maasa began on Friday, and continues through Sunday.

 

On the first day they toured Ryukyu Village, and the girls posed for three-shot photos with the fans. 

During the dinner there were quizzes, and trying to sing Cha Cha Sing at different speeds (apparently double speed was judged the best). 

 

Fans are saying the hotel where they are staying- Moon Beach Palace Hotel- is creating nostalgic feelings; it is the same place where some of them stayed during the Berryz Kobo in Okinawa FC tour, in the last days of Berryz four years ago...

btw, Using a dynamometer, the girls measured their hand grip strength (they were arm wrestling). The results:

Yurina 28 right, 28.5 left

Maasa 34.5 right, 30.2 left... no surprise!

At the end of the day, dinner meals and sunset over the ocean.

Scheduled activities for Saturday include beach volleyball.

 Maasa has been always as strong as beautiful, so, like you say, is not a surprise she has stronger hands.

Kumai-chan was modeling on a fashion show runway today, this time for the Tae Ashida Autumn Winter Collection in Amazon Fashion Week in Tokyo. 

 

In this official video for the event, I have linked to the spot where she appears at 6:02. 

She appears again at 12:51.

ProTip: Wear the clothes, don't let the clothes wear you.

 

Especially the second time she appears, notice how little her head is bobbing up and down.  Pretty much all of the rest of them are clomping their way along in the parade, violently moving up and down as much as forward; they might as well be on horseback.

 

Yuu's head is moving more like half as much, and bouncing very smoothly.  It is as if none of the rest of them have ever worn heels before.

 

Good on her.

[Satur]

 She is very elegant, thanks for call our attention about that, Vemene.

Oh, shit
