Is Yukina Kinoshita’s “Introduction of New Products One After Another” a Sign of Full Return to Entertainment?
Recently, Yukina Kinoshita has been posting a series of “case-like” posts on her Instagram account. There have been times since she announced her return to show business that things have not been going as smoothly as she would have liked, but are we seeing signs of a comeback…!
Born in Tokyo in 1987 and nicknamed “Yukina,” Kinoshita was scouted in Shibuya in 2006 and entered the entertainment industry. Her unusual answers on a quiz show made her a breakout hit, but she retired from show business in July 2020 due to the tapioca store scandal and other reasons. However, she gradually resumed her entertainment activities by restarting her Instagram, which had once been closed, and being used as a product model for a fashion brand in 2021.
In the fall of 2009, she opened a YouTube channel. While she expressed her desire to make a full-fledged comeback, saying, “I still want to work in front of people,” she also stated that she would “never appear on TV” and would focus her activities on YouTube and other media.
Despite his overwhelming name recognition, Kinoshita’s YouTube page has been sluggish. It currently has 67,000 users, and to be honest, it would be difficult to make a living on this alone. Although he has been quite physical in his content, such as eating very spicy ramen noodles and explaining the circumstances of past uprisings, he seems to be running on empty.
In the midst of all this, she has been posting a series of “case-like” posts on Instagram recently. Beauty salons, cleansing gels, diet aids, and so on. Whatever it is, Kinoshita seems to be busy; it is not the kind of work that would make her reckless on YouTube, but work that takes advantage of her brand power as a human being, Yukina Kinoshita.
I don’t know if these are “commissioned products” or not, but watching her vividly introduce her products, I have a feeling that she will be getting more and more client projects in the future. She must be feeling that she is now regaining her true self.
Recently, Kinoshita’s recent weight gain, followed by her intense dieting regimen, has also been a topic of conversation on the Internet. She is steadily regaining her presence as a celebrity. It seems that we will not be able to take our eyes off of Kinoshita anytime soon. ……!
