Ignoring the
warming a bento with her chest and
the thoughts of seeing P in a swimsuit thing, Yukiho had a good solid story where you could feel the emotions she had, her worries, troubles and her hope and love for P, her character development.
The ending was totally awesome.
Though the change in her character near the end, week 53ish, is a bit too sudden for me, it doesn't mean it's bad; it's still interesting.
Though Azumin was over-acting at the beginning of the recording, in the earlier weeks of gameplay, she gets better at voicing Yukiho later on in the game and she doesn't sound half-bad by then.
Something like this
You meet up with Yukiho who's feeling unsure about being chosen as leader and it turns out she's been doing some extra training in secret so she won't drag the other members down.
After beating RK you'll get the usual RK talk and Yukiho sees an unfamiliar guy and she runs off to the background :|
The evil Touma appears talking about the usual true strength is everything and getting along is pointless and makes Yukiho cry.
That evening you can't get in contact with Yukiho because you're worried about what happened earlier and aren't sure what would be best for Yukiho. You acquire some bgm and think it's a nice song and remembered that Yukiho likes to write poems.
You get a call from Yukiho and hear she's in front of the office and wants to talk to you.
You tell Yukiho you found an awesome song and want her to use it, but because of an earlier event Yukiho sort of snaps.
She angrily yells that even though she won earlier she wasn't happy at all because of a something a certain stranger said and that she's sick of everything.
Even though she's trying her hardest all the time she thinks that it's pointless and doesn't want to be the leader anymore, she runs off crying, calling herself useless.
P chases her and finds her.
He apologises to her and tells her, just like the kanji in her name means snow and step, that it's alright for her to take it slowly, just like walking on snow one step at a time and tells her he'll be there for her.
Yukiho cries and tells P she's sorry for what she said earlier.
Yukiho decides that she wants to be able to put her thoughts into words and that she'll work hard because she wants to change.
The day after you learn that your unit is nominated for the IA and you got reminded of the trip to Hollywood, you meet Yukiho in a bookshop and she wonders if it's destiny how the two met there.
She's looking for books on how to write lyrics so that she can study putting her thoughts into words but she hasn't progressed too far yet and asks producer for more time.
Producer wonders how long he'll still be there next to her.
Yukiho invites P on a date, but flusterdly says its lyrics training after P hears and repeats the word "date".
The next day the two go to various places doing various date-like stuff but P's being absentminded the whole time because he’s wondering what will happen to Yukiho if he left.
The two get near a construction site and Yukiho remembers that her father and his men's in charge of it and told P that he's a scary person.
If he ever sees Yukiho near a man on a day off he'll probably do frightful stuff to the guy...
Yukiho says she can't go into detail and wants to quickly leave the place but producer wants to greet her dad.
Yukiho doesn't think her father'll forgive her for being near a man but Producer doesn't want her to run away. Not now, not at the IA.
Yukiho already decided she doesn’t want to run away anymore and she fiercely decided she'll introduce P to her father.
It turned into dusk..
It turned into night..
P is still tired with his talk with Yukiho's father because Yukiho introduced him as "This person is a very important person to me"..
The misunderstanding got cleared up and Yukiho’s dad entrusted her to P.
Yukiho noticed that P was acting weird all day and wondered if P didn't like being with her but P tells her it's because he feels insecure on what to say to her but decided he'll tell it to the unit at a later time..
P noticed that today looked just like a regular date and how they didn't seem to have done something useful but Yukiho tells him she already thought up a theme earlier, thinking it was destiny.
P wonders what she meant and she runs off saying that today's a secret to the others.
The next week after Jupiter gets announced you meet up with Kuroi.
He spouts his usual stuff about true strength and potential thing and mentions that your leader Hagiwara Yukiho is afraid of men and won't be able to use her full strength neways.
*Insert the usual pep talk here*
“While it’s true I'm afraid of men, I'm not afraid of all men. The one I love is also..”
She says she'll be fine as long as P's near her and mentions that she'll be fine if she keeps the walking slowly on snow thing in her mind.
P feels saddened by his Hollywood secret
*insert the usual sad stuff*
Yukiho feels saddened and isn't sure if she's alright but she stays strong because she already decided something earlier..
W45
Yukiho invites you to do some more secret training at an amusement park. P thinks Yukiho was acting weird.
P wonders what makes it a secret training and Yukiho tells him she's collecting material.
P still thinks Yukiho’s acting weird; she's smiling all the time and sounds somewhat forced.
Though Yukiho said she had fun that day, P isn’t sure about that, he mentions that Yukiho didn't even smile wholeheartedly once.
Yukiho knew that P would find that out. She tells that today isn’t training because she sort of gave up writing lyrics; there's no reason for her to work hard to continue writing if the person she wants to hear the song isn't there anymore.
Saddened, she thinks it wouldve been better if they didnt met at the bookstore before if she knew this; while she was thinking of the theme “Me and Producer” Producer popped up in the bookstore and she believed it was destiny.
Yukiho can’t keep up with her façade anymore; she actually doesn’t want P to leave.
P tells her he’s sorry and that its okay for her to cry.
Yukiho says she wanted to hear those words, even though she still hasn’t found out what she'll want do until the day they part, she intends to find it out.
W53, the week before the showdown with Jupiter.
Yukiho was waiting for P and brings him to a concert hall owned by the Hagiwara group.
Yukiho intends to hold a live because it seems she's found out what her thoughts were and what she CAN do, Yukiho wants to learn to like herself! Up untill now she only worked hard because she thought she would bring the others down or because they'll leave her but now she wants to work hard to obtain what she wants.
P tells her that she should sing her new song after they beat Jupiter.
That’ll be the first step of the new Yukiho towards a a new first stage.
After beating Jupiter and winning the IA, Yukiho sings her new original song [First Step] but stops halfway. 0:00-1:53'ish

It seems she’ll sing the 2nd part when P’s back from Hollywood.
Blushing, Yukiho says she has a secret she’ll tell P when he gets back.
One year passes and P returns.
He wants to return to everyone asap when suddenly he hears a familiar song but...
Enter a new, more confident sounding Yukiho.
After a pointless conversation Yukiho wants to sing the 2nd part of the song but it seems P just heard it on the radio..
It seems whenever Yukiho felt lonely she sang her song to herself but takagi overheard it and said she should use it.
When Yukiho asked P what he thinks her secret was P jokingly answers “Is it I love you or something? Just kidding.”
Yukiho tells him that’s no secret and there’s no point hiding something like that.
P’s thoughts go like: <does that mean she…>
It seems her secret was that the song wasn’t finished yet back then but she wanted p to have something to make think back of her.
