Kashiwagi Yuki (柏木由紀), also known as Yuki Reysole (ユキ・レイソレ), is a Japanese idol. She is best known as a member of AKB48's Team B, but was also part of WACK throughout 2021, when it was announced that she would temporarily join all seven WACK groups. She then became a producer and member of SPY, which lasted until mid-2022.

It was initially decided that, while part of WACK, she would perform as "Yuki Reysole" and continue activities outside of WACK under her real name. However, the two stage names have since been used interchangably in WACK, with her real name being used more.

NOTE: Due to Yuki's extremely long history with AKB48, the WACKi will prioritize covering her solo and WACK work. Information regarding her work with AKB48 and its sister groups will be limited, and music released under these groups will not be covered on the WACKi. It is highly encouraged that you read her Stage 48 profile and AKB48 Wiki page for a more detailed summary of her career outside of WACK.

WACK[]

2021[]

On March 3, Kashiwagi Yuki released her third solo single, CAN YOU WALK WITH ME??. The song was produced by WACK founder and CEO, Watanabe Junnosuke. Following its release, Watanabe announced that he would continue to work with her in the future, with further details to be released in April.

On April 9, Kashiwagi Yuki announced on her YouTube channel that she will be temporarily joining all seven current WACK groups (BiS, BiSH, GO TO THE BEDS, PARADISES, EMPiRE, MAMESHiBA NO TAiGUN and ASP). In the video, Watanabe urged Yuki to "abandon the high road of AKB48 and aim for the low road of WACK". In an update video released a week later, it was announced that Yuki's stage name while under WACK would be "Yuki Reysole". However, afterwards she continued to be referred to as both Kashiwagi Yuki and Yuki Reysole in future updates and official WACK releases, with the former being used more often.

On May 15, it was announced that seven singles featuring Yuki (one for each main WACK unit) would be released simultaneously on August 31. In a video released the following week, the in-production titles of each single that she would feature on were announced:

  • BiS: Owaranai Long Long Days
  • BiSH: Wakare no Sora ni wa
  • GO TO THE BEDS: SORANOUTA
  • PARADISES: Kono Natsu no Bakayarou
  • EMPiRE: Tarira Tarira Tarira
  • MAMESHiBA NO TAiGUN: Zutto ki ni Naru Zucchini
  • ASP: Ariman Shock

However, in early June, Yuki was diagnosed with Syringomyelia, a tumour in her spinal cord, after experiencing numbness in her left hand and foot. In order to treat the condition, Yuki took a hiatus from all activities. As a result, her seven singles with WACK were delayed indefinitely. Yuki's surgery took place on June 25th, and lasted seven hours.

Yuki released her third photobook, Experience, on July 15th, her thirtieth birthday. That same day, she announced that she would resume activities, as, despite being told that she would need to be hospitalized for a month, she was able to recover from her surgery in eight days.

On September 17th, a rescheduled release date for her WACK singles was announced, with all singles being released on November 30th.

Further details were announced on her YouTube channel on October 8th, revealing that an election amongst all WACK members, VOTE! WACK SELECT 7, would be held, with voting tickets being included with all of Yuki's collaborative singles. The top seven most popular WACK members would then join a new unit that Yuki would produce. In addition, the final confirmed names for each single was revealed:

The music videos for each song were gradually released day by day starting with BAD TEMPER on November 1st.

On November 28th and 29th, Kashiwagi held two performances with identical setlists, "Kashiwagi Yuki Netemo Sametemo Yukirin World" 2021. During these performances, she sang a solo rendition of BAD TEMPER.

Kashiwagi's collective WACK singles were ultimately released on November 30th, with the SELECT 7 election beginning the day before (due to early "furage" releases of the singles in certain stores).

On December 27th, Yuki held the concert, Kashiwagi Yuki Nari no WACK EXHiBiTiON AND SELECT 7 at Tokyo Dome, in which the results of the election were announced. While this would be her last time performing with each respective WACK group, it was confirmed that, as well as a producer, she would also be a member of the new shuffle group. As per the results of the election, the remaining members for her new group were revealed as Yui Ga Dockson, Tsukino Usagi, Terashima Yuka, Hashiyasume Atsuko, Yamamachi Miki, Yumeno Yua and Cent Chihiro Chittiii.

2022[]

On January 15th, it was reported that Kashiwagi had developed coronavirus, and would need to halt all activities again. She continued 10 days ater.

The name of Kashiwagi's shuffle group was revealed in late March as SPY, meaning "SELECT7 Plus Yuki". Their debut single, Anata wo Nerai Uchi♡, was released on June 1st. With the exception of one fan event occurring a few months later, no further word on SPY or Kashiwagi Yuki's activities was given after the single's release, indicating that she may have since become unaffiliated with WACK.

Post-WACK[]

On September 14th, 2022 Kashiwagi Yuki's "Kashiwagi Yuki Netemo Sametemo Yukirin World" 2021 performances received home video releases on 2-disc DVD and Blu-Ray.

Kashiwagi announced her graduation from AKB48 on October 20th, 2023. At the time, she was the group's longest-running member, with a tenure of 16 years. Her graduation performance will take place on March 15th, 2024, with her ending activities with the group entirely the following month.

Trivia[]

  • Her WACK stage name was a reference to the football team, Kashiwa Reysol.
  • Out of all past and present WACK idols, she has the most idol experience, debuting in 2007.
  • Claims to want to stay in AKB48 until she's at least 30, and wants to remain an idol until at least 40.
  • Is referred to as AKB48's "Gravure Queen". Other nicknames she has received includes "Giraffe" (due to her long neck) "Rain Woman" (due to how it frequently rains when she performs) and "Black-Hearted Woman" (due to her icy personality shown on AKBINGO!).
  • Auditioned for Morning Musume's 8th generation, and failed her first two AKB48 audition attempts.
  • Says the WACK group she is most looking forward to joining is PARADISES, but she got along best with the members of GO TO THE BEDS.
  • Was given a yellow image colour for MAMESHiBA NO TAiGUN, but for all other WACK units that incorporated member colours (BiSH, GO TO THE BEDS, PARADISES) she was not assigned any specific colour. It could be assumed that her MAMESHiBA yellow may be used across groups, however, Momoko Gumi Company from BiSH and Changbaby from GO TO THE BEDS also used yellow as their designated colour at the time.
