Polaroid candid photos taken while Kumaichan was getting ready for a modeling shoot with fashion photographer Kentaro Minami; she has worked with him several times recently. From his Instagram.

A nice end of the year surprise from Kumaichan. 

Three Yurinas in new KINTO CM:

I suddenly feel like buying a car Kumaichan's too beautiful, I'm happy whenever we get to see her in a CM.     I also agree in that being a great picture of her!

T-shirt for Kumaicho's upcoming talk event. Apparently artist/Kumai fan/event MC Naka G got the idea from the classic Kumai moment in the Munasawagi Scarlet PV Making Of, when she was seen reading the bottom of a box of tissues.

Sorry for posting it here again, just for nostalgia.... (moment at 1:37)

Yurina at today's talk event, and goods she signed for the Hello!Shop in Akihabara.

According to Twitter wota, the event lasted almost two hours, and they said lots of stories were told. For example:

She talked about how much she enjoyed talking to Umeda Erika in the early days, and how much Miyabi impressed her when they first met.

The subject of Maiha came up. She said that Berryz is often expressed as 7 people and 7 colors, but for her, Berryz Kobo's foundation is 8 people. 

Yurina said she couldn't believe Maiha liked strawberries, because she hated them back then. But she likes them now.

Kumaicho talked about the difficulties of working up emotions during filming of Little Hospital, and later learning how to do TV work like King's Brunch.

She said she sometimes has to eat foods with tomatoes on Brunch, but has no choice. At first she was unsure what to say about them during the filming, but the staff told her to be honest.

About current H!P songs, she loved Megane no Otoko no Ko, would like to sing it and play Maeda's role. She would also like to sing Seishun Night once,  because of the "Enjoy!"s.

MC Naka G was asked about why he did the t-shirt art of Yurina and the tissue box. He said it was funny and famous. Kumaichan joked that you are lying if you say you don't want to know what the box said. She has a sense of humor about it and it is a happy memory.

She was asked and said these are her favorite Berryz costumes:

Watching King's Brunch today, I wasn't expecting to see Yurina in Hollywood again, this time interviewing Clint Eastwood!

Their introduction and joking about language were nice moments.

She's taller than old Clint. 

[Honeybear]

^ HaHa! Yeah, wota have been talking about that, noting that Eastwood's height is 193cm, and Yurina seems taller. She was probably wearing heels, and well, after all, Clint is 89-years old, so...

 

At today's Kumaazu events, Yurina said Eastwood was "very kind, and the aura was amazing."

 

Kumaazu events 1/19/20 Setlist

 

1. Sabori

2. Toshoshitsu Taiki

3. Joshi Basket- bu ~Asaren Atta Hi no Kamigata~

4. Yuujou Junjou Oh Seishun

5. Grand Demo Rouka Demo Medatsu Kimi

 

During the three events, Kumaicho and Maasa shared private photos they had taken over the years, some with family, and some they had taken of each other. Maasa said that "Kumai-chan's funny mischievous face can only be brought out by me", and joked about all of the Starbucks pictures she puts on her blog.

 

Maasa said she would like to go on a skiing trip again with Kumaichan like they did a few years ago, but it would be difficult right now because there is not much snow. Yurina said let's go abroad; she has never been to Singapore, and wants to go with Maasa.

 

Wota loot from the events. The small snack in the second picture was given to everyone by Yurina.

Yurina modeling today at the 2020 Yumi Katsura Grand Collection in Tokyo "Brilliant White Debut" bridal fashion show. 

Looks like she got to wear at least two different dresses for the show. Hopefully more photos and maybe video to come.

More photos from the fashion show (besides the ones on the picboard).

Yurina's image was chosen to be at the top of the show report on the front page of Yumi Katsura's website.

Kumaichan said on her blog that she was very happy to walk on the runway with Atsuko (seen in the third photo here), a model she has always admired. 

 

I don't know anything about the fashion world... I'm just trying to help celebrate Kumaichan.

 I always wonder myself what the clothes designers has against the smiles

[Curlymckay]

^ If you mean how models never smile when they walk down the runway, I heard it's because they don't want to distract people from the outfit. 

[Honeybear]

^ I never thought of that. 

 

Kumaichan talked to Chinami yesterday on Chii's Instagram Live.

With a smile as bright and lovely as Kumaichan's, I can see that happening haha! It still doesn't work completely, though, because more often than not I'm always admiring how amazing she looks in all sorts of outfits lol.

[Honeybear]

The most recent KanafulTV episodes with Kumaichan; obviously such location work now suspended.

 

(btw Episodes of the show that are on its Youtube channel may seem a bit strange due to they are missing all of the music that is heard during the actual TV broadcast version.)
