Topics I've Started

Ogura Yui (小倉唯)

14 May 2010 - 09:53 PM

It has come to my attention that Yui Ogura, who is basically the cutest girl on the planet, does not yet have her own thread on this board. In order to redress this tremendous grievance I hereby open the official Hello!Online Ogura Yui Thread.

Yui is part of Team Dekaris and also of YuiKaori, a HAPPY! STYLE unit formed by her and Kaori Ishihara. Their debut single "Our Steady Boy" was released on 12th May under the King Records Label. The song is used as the ending theme for the anime "kiss×sis".

Here's a photo of her (courtesy of the picboard):

Here's her profile (taken from her official site: http://ogura-yui.com/ and supplemented with information from her blog: http://ameblo.jp/ogura-yui/ ):

In case you want to know more about her, here are a few links to get you started:

First, her official site:
http://ogura-yui.com/
Not much there if you don't understand Japanese, except maybe the YouTube videos (scroll down to the bottom or use the links I posted below) and the voice samples (scroll a little down and on the right it should say "Voice Sample" with a few links under it). I really recommend the voice samples, they're terribly cute. There's also a (scanty) photo gallery.

Her blog (ゆいゆい日記!!):

Yui trying to fold up a portable board reflector (those videos are also linked to on her site).



Some more YouTube links:

Yui did the dance motion capture for the vocaloid character Hatsune Miku. Here you really get a taste of Yui's dancing skills.
