On August 21st, 2015, Imaizumi along with 22 other members were announced for the newly created idol group, Toriizaka46 (now Keyakizaka46).[1] Imaizumi made her musical debut with Keyakizaka46's first single, Silent Majority.[2] She formed a duo named "Yuichanzu" (ゆいちゃんず) with Yui Kobayashi due to the fact that they share the same name and play the guitar. After debuting in Silent Majority, the duo continued performing after positive fan feedback.[2][3][4] Additionally, Imaizumi made two song appearances as part of Sakamichi AKB (坂道AKB), a group made of various AKB48 and Sakamichi members.[5][6] Aside from music, Imaizumi also started her modeling career, becoming a regular model for the fashion magazine Ar and published a solo photobook titled Daremo Shiranai Watashi (誰も知らない私).[7][8] Despite her success, however, Imaizumi took an temporary leave from the group between April and August 2017 and another in December 2017 from poor health.[9][10]

After the release of Ambivalent, Imaizumi officially departed from the group on November 5, 2018 during a farewell ceremony in Kyoto, expressing her desire to pursue other forms of entertainment. She became the third member to leave the group, and the first member to leave since their musical debut.[11][12][13]

2018–present: solo career

After departing from Keyakizaka46, Imaizumi changed her management company from Sony Music Japan to Avex Group.[14] Her first independent acting role was in the stage play Atami Satsujin Jiken (熱海殺人事件).[15] Since then, Imaizumi has been involved in many different projects. She was featured in a variety show produced by TV Asahi titled Imaizumi Yui no Otonajoshi (今泉佑唯のオトナ女子), is a regular on the MBS Radio show Appare Yattemasu! (アッパレやってまーす!), will be starring in the 2020 movie Yōtobakemono ni Naruchichi ga Tsurai (酔うと化け物になる父がつらい), and is scheduled to perform in a stage performance of Azumi.[16][17][18][19]
