“yousti” is a solo project by former Sakurazaka46 Kobayashi Yui.
The other day, the release of the 1st mini album “Yousti” was announced on Wednesday August 27th as a solo project and yousti was released, attracting attention, and the Music Video for the lead song “Day Dreamer”, which will be included in the 1st mini album “Yousti” today, has been released.
The lead song, “Day Dreamer,” is a song that she tries her first lyrics, expresses the messages she has in her artist name and the title of her first mini album, “Yousti,” in her own words: “You don’t have to try too hard,” “You can run away,” and “Let’s surrender,” and is a song that supports the self that we want to hear when things don’t go well and struggle with the days that go wrong and don’t have the courage to move forward.
Music Video uses CG to express unrealistic spaces with the theme of day dream, and depicts “escapism” with a negative image in a bright and positive way. Also, please pay attention to the total of nine costumes that change depending on the scene.
The lead song “Day Dreamer” will be available for advance release tomorrow, Tuesday, June 24th, starting at 0:00am, and it has also been announced that the LINE MUSIC campaign will allow you to get great presents, and a download campaign will be held at the eligible download stores.
Please check the details and apply for the campaign.

★yousti Profile
Kobayashi Yui passed the first generation audition for Keyakizaka46. After being renamed Sakurazaka46, he has long led the group as a popular member. Graduated from Sakurazaka46 in 2024. One year has passed since the group graduated, and from now on, he will continue his self-produced musical activities as “yousti.”
The artist’s name is youthi, which contains the message that he should not try too hard, sometimes run away and surrender himself.
This coined word is a combination of “yui” and “ostrich”, which means “escaping reality.” “Ostrich” is a word that means ostrich, and is used as a slang to represent “escaping reality” because “ostrils hide their heads in the soil when they feel a crisis.”
Also, “i” to me, “you” you are the finest “st”. It also contains a message to fans.
