~Koike♥Yui Tokyo ~> Hawaii

Coinciding with Koike♥Yui’s “Pink” shashinshuu and also shot entirely in lovely Hawaii, “PINK BREEZE in HAWAII” brings to life every adorable aspect you’d wish for in an idol gone Hawaiian style~♥ and more!

From our world famous Waikiki Beach to various eateries around our island of Oahu Yui~chan♥ takes us along on her first journey to the islands we call paradise~.

Koike Yui’s “PINK BREEZE in HAWAII” DVD can be ordered @ HMV Japan.

Koike Yui’s “PINK BREEZE in HAWAII” DVD can be ordered @ Amazon Japan.

~Opportunity knocks~

The planned destination for Yui~chan was entirely up to the luck of the draw! And this won’t be the last time we encounter these seemingly innocent staff cards as here she draws Hawaii which was her wish~* before these mischievous cards appeared.

~Hawaii e~ ikou!!~

~Tokyo departure~

Not unlike the magic of Oz, however here instead of a click of the heels it’s Hawaii which is just a ‘hop’ away.

~Hawaiian arrival~

With Diamond Head in the far distance here Yui~chan’s already gotten lei’~d (if that had been laid not only would it be astoundingly magical by the standards of just a single Tokyo hop but also equally tragic for many a wota =O) but luckily it’s just our customary Hawaiian love accessory she’s donning here =).

 Oh dear! it’s the fuzz!!! and they’re already after Yui~chan =P Did she really run with that Matsumoto shave ice out the door without paying?? Nah…. =). Hmm maybe President Obama’s heading to get some shave ice again at this very same moment and Yui~chan just happens to be in the vicinity.

Or could it be ice cream this time?

~Beach pink~

~Where there’s food & idols, surely there’s also a catch such as a batsu thing going on. So it’s a barbeque and there’s just one thing Yui~chan must do on her shopping venture.

~Whole Foods, shopping in English~

~Yuichan’s awesome adventure in shopping in English~

~

~~~

~~~~~

So Yui~chan must do her shopping here without speaking any Japanese to the market’s staff, it’s cute how she accidentally keeps using Japanese despite her best efforts to speak entirely in English!

…we are officially lost in translation =O.

It’s the universal sign for ‘cow’….or at least it’s Yui~chan’s universal sign for ‘cow’ =D. When one can’t speak in their native tongue, why not go for acting your question out, here cow~monomane makes its debut at Whole Foods \(^o^)/!

Hm, they’ve only just met and already the staff here is offering her ‘sausage??’ =O Interesting ‘one service’ equals ‘one sausage’ =D.

I totally sense a theme developing here…..this guy’s now offering her the ‘big one’ =P!

Here’s where you’d draw in the thought bubble full of cartoon question marks and hearts…(???).

Now this is indeed sweet~♥! A sampling of the seasonal honey crisp! Note to self: …_〆(・∀・＠) showing a bit of cleavage gets you free fruit…kidding!!  (。ーωー。)笑

omg she’s flirting with the bag boy =O…!

I did forewarn you about the big ‘sausage’ =P but what’s a barbeque without a big sausage anyway? =)

~Pier gravure~

~The Canadian crab, batsu mischief, Vietnamese hot sauce and papaya salad horror (;゜□゜)~

Once again Yui~chan’s English is put to the test but the Vietnamese cuisine here comes with a not so surprising batsu card switcheroo game =O.

…and I would like to introduce my new friend ‘Canadian Crab’ o(*´∀｀)o゛’

Okay the guy doesn’t understand Yui~chan’s English either so we’ll call it a draw =).

And while she accidentally lets the Japanese slip out on occasion, her speech (above) is most happily reminiscent of that legendary H!M episode where Kamei speaks of a ‘hand in cheese’…(*´∀｀*) ♥!

(Kamei♥ cutest pose alert!!)

Ahhhh the crab confusion portion of this post ー(*￣Ｏ￣)ノ！Here we learn the universal sign for crab, kue-bu, kani or whatever your culture calls this cuisine from the sea.

~Introducing the Heaven and Hell Gourmet Tour in Hawaii!!!~

Yep that’s literally what these segments are actually called =O.

~~~~~

~~~

~

(the dreaded batsu games =O!)

And then the batsu cards are back! And this time it’s a matter of choosing blindly between a Tengoku ‘Heaven’ or Jigoku (Hell) card and wait a minute!!!! Here the staff takes Yui~chan’s Heaven card back after she safely chooses it only to ‘reshuffle’ the cards again and again until she ends up inevitably with the Hell card (´⌒｀。) The staff indeed naughty! And instead of the promise of the crab treat which Yui~chan would love so much, it’s the papaya salad…..

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the universal sign for ‘I don’t like papaya salad!!

(。ｐ_ｑ)

Yeah that’s it!!! (・д・`*)！！

And then there’s also the universal sign for ‘this is too spicy for me!’

~Apple gravure~

It seems the apple has fascinated idols for years….

..here Yui~chan performs apple foreplay♥ just for U.

Was it good for U too?

o(*´∀｀)o゛♥

~The Heaven and Hell Gourmet Tour goes Hawaiian~

Here Haili’s Hawaiian Foods offers a most wide selection of Hawaiian cuisine!

Of course having Yui~chan just go order what her heart desires would be so un~idol like, so it’s those daunting batsu Heaven and Hell cards again!

This time the staff doesn’t cheat XD and Yui~chan picks the Heavenly card!

＼(^o^)／ ☆

The award of a most yummy steak, poke, rice and haupia!

(actually I don’t like coconut much which haupia is made of but most people I know absolutely love this Hawaiian dessert treat! =) ). It’s the cubed white thing above.

(Show us your Yum♥ face!!)

However…….

..things quickly turn sour when poi is served!!!!

Poi is made from the taro plant root and it’s not to my personal liking but again most friends I know absolutely love it!!! I may be in the minority here when it comes to poi however it appears that Yui~chan is also not liking the poi so much, can you say: きゃぁーっっっ(/∇＼*)！When I was little I used to think poi was sort of like the consistency of paper mache =P and it’s difficult to even begin to describe its flavor, but poi is very good for you too!

Prepare yourself for the best ever poi reaction known to humankind!!!!!!!

And a quick recap of what we’ve learned so far =D.

Yep! that look above says it all….thank U again poi! =D

~Poolside gravure~

~Yui~chan late night hotel room cam~

(aka chips ‘n guava time)

Funny, a Geico commercial was playing and when it suddenly ended Yui~chan was quite bummed out about it =/. Other than that she’s definitely not into American t.v. one  bit!

She does however love flaming Cheetos, Maui Style potato chips and Hawaiian Sun Guava nectar♥! Later a chat with a fellow Tomapai member.

~Hawaiian sunset~

Either the staff or Yui~chan herself is a big Pirates of the Caribbean fan!! Or perhaps she’s a Johnny Depp fan? Johnny as a pirate fan? Sasshi’s a big fan of Mr. D also so you never know as his appeal is definitely worldwide!

Whoh! =O

~Eating intermission~

(eating intermission end)

~Early morning idol♥ room invasion~

Yui~chan Hawaii Edition

Of course if you’ve followed idols for just about any length of time then you know that the staff never sleeps. Nor do their naughty intentions =O!

Pretty early: Check!

Access card for idol’s room: Check!

Flaming Cheetos w/ Guava nectar drink laying about: Check!

Idol in deep sleep: Check!

Invasion of idol’s personal belongings: Check!

Obscure item to awaken idol: Check!

Hm, seems that all naughty things and intentions are perfectly in place.

Early morning idol room invasion set to go!

Yui~chan’s early morning shock censored for your safety =D.

(10 minutes later….) =O

No make~up Yui~chan♥.

So adorable~♥!

~Homebound to Japan~

~Extras~

Yui~chan also includes her thoughts and comments on her Hawaii visit and experience.

~Off shots~

If you’ve watched Yui~chan’s past idol releases then surely you know what a wonderfully funny sense of humor she has! Monomane, strange facial expressions and a adorable sense of spontaneity~!! Also it was sure windy here when she visited…just the wind a constant howling presence throughout…..! Well it is called a ‘pink breeze in Hawaii’ although breeze may be a much too weak term for the windy conditions on her days of shooting =).

Yui~chan also did lots of shopping and at one point while Yui~chan is showing her omiyage (customary gifts for friends back home) and personal purchases, the female staff whom I’ve seen before asks if she can see the panties which she purchased from Victoria’s Secret for herself lol! =O
