    Finally watched Mayuyu live for 2 hours :banana:
    She did great at Amelie :1st: and I should say...her oshiri is objectively "wide" compared to her body size. Even from 3rd floor to the stage and the costume did not emphasize on it, it still look prominent. [hehe]

    I said it before and I will say it again: Mayuyu never had a problem with animals. She has never been afraid of dogs. As far as I know, unlike Yukirin who genuinely appears to be afraid of everything, Mayuyu is not fearful of domesticated animals and that ''whole scared of dogs thing'' was purely done as a skit for variety sake. Somewhere out there there is a beach video of the making of Labrador Retriever that shows a VERY YOUNG Watanabe Mayu frolicking in the sand with all breeds of dogs. That skit was done all in fun, like Sakura's fake bizarre running style. I remember an outdoor interview of Mayuyu where she freaked out when a flying bug of some sort got up in her face and she appeared genuinely upset and scared but that is a phobia she shares with most of the members.[hehe]

    My personal opinion only, of course. Asking her would be the only way to find out definitively.

    The copy of the making of LR on my copy of LR has her shying away from the dogs repeatedly. It wasn’t a Bingo skit. Richard and I have different memories. Mine is recent; I bought LR just last year.

    Maybe I will watch it again tomorrow.

    Watch it again for me and I will take your word for it if you see her demeanor as appearing apprehensive around any of the dogs. Much appreciated. I have to admit that I haven't seen ''the making of'' in a few years, but if you are correct I will be EXTREMELY disappointed in my memory. That video is one of those great ''AKB at the beach'' videos that is seared in my memory.

    We can all watch together and get our own impressions.

    You can find it on DM.

    Note. I originally put the DM link here, but that would be sharing something you can buy, so I deleted the direct link.

    Added:
    I went to see if it was on the AKB48 YT channel and found this. No dogs, but seemed relevant to the PD48 discussion about dancing and how AKB members needed to know so many dances. And it’s sort of fun.


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    Thank you. I went on Daily Motion and found both parts 1 and 2 of ''the making of Labrador retriever'' and you are absolutely correct. Between minute 3 and 4:30, of part 1, Mayuyu is spooked by any and all canines on the set----big and small. Wow. I stand corrected and I apologize for so adamantly posting an invalid and blatantly incorrect comment. Funny that I ''mis-remembered'' that video so badly. Getting old is such a pain. Thanks again for setting me straight and reminding how stunning the girls looked in their beach video days.

    #mayukirin the prefect match <3
    The song is really beautiful. Was it planned for yuki to sing with mayu or it is just she suddenly want to support her wife?

    By the way, why the main mc have that reaction? Quite funny XD
