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!!):

Roller-ball pens are water-based ballpoint pens, that is to say they use a water-based ink and not an oil-based ink like normal ballpoint pens do.Does anyone have any idea what Yuchan means by roler-ball pens and what makes her obsessed with it
"Things you're obsessed with right now" is my translation for マイブーム (My Boom), which is a wasei-eigo term. The meanings of those can often be a little mysterious to non-Japansese speakers, but I think that's pretty much what they mean: things someone is obsessed with or really into right now.
Why she likes those pens so much, I can't really say. My best guess is, that she discovered that she can write with them much better. The ink of roller-ball pens usually saturates more deeply, you don't have to apply as much pressure and the ink is available in a greater range of colours. There are a number of disadvantages, too, but roller-ball pens must have proven to be more useful for the tasks she needs them for.
So, what does an idol need pens for, anyway? Drawing cute pictures, mostly hearts and her name. Yeah, I imagine it sucks to give an autograph with a ballpoint pen that doesn't write properly. Then again, they mostly use marker pens for that, don't they.
Yeah, she's really a good dancer. All the dancing that I have seen of her so far was perfect.Yuchan have an impressive dancing background. I think she could easily be the closest rival for Takahashi.

To make it easy for you, here is the post about the making.
Yui's Miku Dance - The Making.
Can someone help translate the message. If I'm right, I think it is about this video hitting 500,000 views.
Yui is just plain amazing doing the Miku dance. Her reharsal shot ( wearing white dancing shoes ) is 99.9999999% exactly the same as the real video shot. Awesome!

I hadn't seen the making. Now I have. And you're right, it's really almost identical. Her dancing is perfect.^Have you seen the Miku Dance making? Her practice dance and the production dance were about 99% accurate. Its like she just diplicates the steps perfectly.

I think it's worth posting some of my favourite magazine shots that were uploaded to the picboard just recently:

0:00 >> BON VOYAGE! (One Piece) - All
2:07 >> My Sweet Heart (Tokyo Mew Mew) - Ishihara Kaori
3:17 >> Koi no Muteki Command - Team Dekaris
4:33 >> Ride On (Macross F) - Iwashima Manami, Ishihara Kaori (Ride On from the Macross F (TV))
5:55 >> Scramble (School Rumble) - Ogura Yui (Scramble PV)
Yui fans must give a listen to Scramble. Yui sounded perfect for the song. I know this coz Horie Yui is one of my fav voice actor/singer. Coincidentally they have the same given name, Yui I played Yui's perf and Scramble PV together and they were in perfect sync
Manami and Kaori singing Ride On was pretty good too but lack Mayn's power.
