Yui For President

It's been a life-long dream for a lot of my friends to have their own J-Pop band and finally, last year they formed one called Yui For President (Y.F.P.) and performed for the very first time at the UP-Ame festival. Just remembering it now brings a smile to my face. 

This year, Y.F.P. was able to take part in the Asian Kung-Fu Generation tribute night held last Oct. 20. Then, they participated in the Otomonagatari: OtoROCK battle of the bands a week later. AND, I'm happy to say, they won best vocalist, keyboardist, and they were the champion band for the night. 

おめでとうございます!!!!

Yay! Can't wait to see you guys and girls perform again! :-)

Here are some videos of Y.F.P's practice and performance for Otomonagatari. (Videos grabbed from YuiforPresident)
