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.
~Koike♥Yui former Miss Magazine~
~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!

~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

The DVD extras on Koike Yui’s “Pink Breeze in Hawaii” are actually comprised of two separate tracks but they’re not very close to being 21 minutes as you’ve mentioned here. One is 4:25 and the second is 11:38, I wonder if you’re thinking of the same video?

Another great scanning job! I loved the store sequence, especially the service/sausage moment. Have you shopped at this store? The prices seem pretty good! What a lovely DVD, though. And such a lovely place. Is the sea warm all round the island, or just in certain areas?
LikeLike
That was hilarious….how language became so lost in translation =D there! Ah Whole Foods is relatively new here although they’ve been here for awhile now and it’s just that there isn’t any location nearby for convenience so sadly no I haven’t visited their store yet. What’s funny is that that very location in which Koike Yui visits, it used to be an old Star Market there which our family regularly shopped at when I was growing up, for years now though I’ve moved and haven’t been back to that shopping area since Whole Foods took over the same spot. MMmm I can only speak from years ago as I don’t often get to our beaches xD and actually haven’t swam in years I’m ashamed to say. But from what I know, our sea for the most part are relatively warmer year round which makes even early morning swimming or surfing most ideal whereas it’d be freezing in a lot of other places. It was still the poi which cracked me up the most, however I do have an odd sense of humor =P I’m told. Wasn’t it sneaky how the entire trip became naturally a batsu game in itself and not quite an ordinary vacation…but for idols♥ it’s really to be expected =).

Hello, just wanted to say your blog is amazing! I’m a fan of Yui too, she’s beautiful and seem to be fun to hang around, just down to Earth even though she speaks a different language lol. Just wanted to ask about why wasn’t the shopping portion of the DVD added when she went into the mall, visiting different stores? Also, how did they manage to make her hair short, was it a wig or just a special way of doing it?

HI! nice to meet you Glen…you’re very sweet to say (*´∀`*) ♪~♪!、U~n I agree Yui~chan♥ possesses a wonderfully real and down to earth charm ~* to her! It seems that the staff/production team wanted to only include for that portion of her Hawaii image video her challenge of having to speak only English as she navigated the Whole Foods marketplace, surely though it would have been equally fun to have seen Yui~chan♥ shop elsewhere and throughout the mall on that day=). I grew up near to our Kahala area (where that location of Whole Foods is…) so the mall is most nostalgic for my childhood too…would’ve loved to have seen more too. If I’m thinking of the same footage portions Yuichan’s♥ hair is only styled in a ‘shorter’ style although she now and for some time now has been fashioning a shorter hairstyle =).
You may have already visited these but as searching here can be an adventure at times I just thought that I’d link just a few of my other favorite Yuichan♥ posts here done over the years past which cover more of her image DVDs, trading cards, gravure photo shoots, idol wrestling, Yuichan♥ Punk’d =O!,Yuichan♥ cooking!, an amazing B.L.T. collaboration, her seifuku fashion up close and personal and photo books she’s released….hope ~* they bring you smiles too…
