    Yukirin: “You have just listened 3 songs ‘Tokushima48’, ‘Koisuru Fortune Cookie’, ‘Koisuru Placard’ continuously. How was it? Mayu: “It gets mistaken pretty often”
    Yukirin: “Oh well who cares” Mayu: “Who cares?” “Oh well, who cares~❗️”And then Yukirin knelt down on the ground (to apologize)"

    Okay as I was driving to Sacramento I had my Itouch on shuffle then a song that I totally forgot about ends up playing, and Im like OMG I have this song.

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    Okay I have the ultimate questions for us Mayuyu fans, and that is Question 1 Why and when did we chose Mayu over the other. AKB48 members? Question #2 Did you ever meet or ran into Mayu??
    answer for Question1
    I guess I should start with answer first XD , Well let me see, It all started when I first became a fan back in 2010, But I was a Maeda Atsuko fan at first, But I noticed that she was really the popular one, So I started to look for a new member to support :) Then I noticed that a certain member stood out the most to me, Later on that day I was watching the music video for Lucky Seven. Then just like that WHAM BAM Thank you Mam. XP I fell for a Girl wearing a white pirate outfit with a brown hat. Thats when I started to support Mayu, Then I started the Mayuyulism thing about 8 months later

    if the video does not show watch the video here


    answer for Question #2
    Of course I have about a couple of times LOL, Long story short, The first time ( YKT knows about this experience ) was when I was at a food court ( I didnt know about AKB48 at the time ) in one of the malls on Guam I was standing in line to grab something to eat I couldn't make up my mind so I turned around and there was this tourist ( Mayu )waiting for her turn to order I told her she can cut in front of because I wasn't ready, All she said in Japanese was Thank you. Then a week later I found out about a group called AKB48 I watched the music video for Ponytail to Shushu and right there was the tourist that I told to cut in line :( (I wanted to choke myself) I was standing next to a Jpop Idol at the time and I didnt even know her. But I got a second chance (I almost fainted too !!!) During the filming of Every Day Kachuusa thanks to a friend of mine ( oops I'm sorry but its a secret thing so Im just gonna get to the main point) I went up to Mayu while she had a break to ask for a autograph, She stood up and faced me, then took a step closer to me ( she was really about only less then a foot away I could smell her breath, of course I inhaled it, it smelled alot like French Vanilla LOL) sorry got side tracked, But yeah she got close to me then gave me the world's best eye contact ( I felt like I was going to get a heart attack) and said in English that wasn't really all there. (This is how she exactly said it ) Sorry break over.. next time..... She bowed and put her hands together as if she was praying then went back to filming.there you go that's it I could tell about the other times but it will be too long, maybe next time sorry.

    @YKT Congrats well I hope you have a wonderful and safe travel, I find it funny because I will be in Tokyo from Dec 10th to 16th, supposed to be in Osaka but I had some problems

    To everyone I will be offline from Dec 9 to the 11th, Heading back home to Guam but I decided to spend a week in Tokyo as a stress reliever LOL, Gonna buy alot of Mayu stuff and sheck out that maid cafe (Maid Dreaming) next to the theater and other suff lol

    1. Well I was just starting in this fandom and I can't remember why but I decided to watch Sabadoru! I watched like 4 episodes maybe and Mayuyu stole my heart (*¯︶¯*)

    (But the funny thing is that I was kinda confused about what to do with my ranking, because Sayanee was my first oshi and I was loving Mayuyu as much as Sayanee! Lol, so I decided that both of them would be my kamis haha)

    2. Nope, never; A; /sobs/

    no matter how many times i see it..i surely enjoy it & looks so mature right now..

    if anyone watch mechaike dokkiri last night..it was good to see mayu reaction..

    @671_AKB i can answer u the 1st question only..as for me after got boring enough for momusu become kpop fans...got to know akb since fans like to start war about jpop vs kpop thing..notice on senbatsu member of hebirote..1st like yuko, tomochin & acchan...this girl looks cute,cool & beautiful..mayu was surely out of the leagues since she looks shy,young, loli looking girl:^O^: but can help stop noticing her thanks to her twintail which keep her apart from the rest of senbatsu..takamina with the big ribbon, mariko short hair..(make me feel nostalgic how the past senbatsu image was easy to spot & difference especially if you a new fan)
    ..as time goes by maybe the more u look at mayu the more u fell in since mayu growth & her personality really help me to keep interest in her until today:XD:

    @YKT all the best to you on your journey..make the 2shot memorable..maybe u can try some funny pose with her or make mayu doing mean & cool pose :^^;:..have safety trip in japan

    edit: can anyone please help me translate or give few explanations about this article..i think it was related to mayu view on younger gen

    @671_AKB
    I can also only answer the first question 671_AKB! Hopefully I'll get to meet her one day.
    I first saw Mayu's Hikaru Monotachi video on youtube. I didn't know anything about jpop, not even what an idol was. Yet I was captivated by the singer and the MV. After some googling I worked out that Mayu was a member of AKB48 and began to watch AKBingo and listen to AKB's singles. After seeing UZA's MV I began to really enjoy the other members performances and like AKB as a whole. I realised that there were many in the group that were better dancers, speakers or better singers. Still, no one is able to quite compare.

    Just to because I still love this song :blush:


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    Also, does anyone know if there are plans to eng sub the mechaike episode? My Japanese is limited to a few 'how do you do' level phrases. :?:

    "Watanabe Mayu reviews AKB48 group in 2014
    張貼者: Paul Cho , 於 Saturday, December 06, 2014

    [​IMG]

    At General Election in June 2014, Watanabe Mayu first gets the throne of rank no.1, since single "Labrador Retriever" released at May, Watanabe Mayu be the CENTER of every single, she is definitely the "FACE" of AKB group.

    As representative to review AKB48 group went through Daisokaku, General Election and Oshima Yuko graduation in 2014, and picks her MVP member of 2014.

    Watanabe: Even experienced sokaku (Team shuffle) before, Daisokaku at February was the first time including all sister group members to shuffle, it shook all of us. However, members who show new glamour are increasing after Daisokaku, especially those concurrent members are very hard working, therefore I would think all concurrent members are MVP of 2014. If I choose a representive from those members, I would pick Ikoma (Rina) chan, her smiling face has been more cute than before, and can feel her confidence from her expression.

    Feel the aura from member

    Watanabe Mayu get the rank no. 1, at General Election in June, sister group members Matsui Jurina, Matsui Rena, Yamamoto Sayaka,Suda Akari, Miyawaki Sakura has a great progress.

    Watanabe: The most impressive began from (Miyawaki) Sakura, then found HKT48 members expand their influence. Therefore I strongly feel the aura "Can not lose to them" from AKB48 members. To me, I has achieved my goal of being rank no. 1, now I want to achieved two champions successively which no one has achieved.

    The most impressive Live in 2014, she chooses Oshima Yuko's graduation concert at 8 June 2014.

    Watanabe: It planned to send off Yuko chan at National Stadium in March, but it was postponed by storm. Therefore, every members was thinking "At June, use the best performance to make Yuko chan graduated with smile", and tried our best to study dancing class and rehearsal. I once asked Yuko chan who is like the sun "How to be a bright person like you?" Yuko chan taught me "Begin from the flowers besides the road, those little things touch your heart", therefore I begin paying attention to those daily happiness.

    While asked her which member you think is growing up, she was saying "A lot of members", and at last she picks same Team B's Takahashi Juri who casted at TV drama "Sailor Zombie".

    Watanabe: Despite we have been same Team together, despite she is the friend who can honestly discuss our own feeling, and despite her LIVE performance is better, her mentality has been much stronger. Because she is in "Kibouteki Refrain" selection members, therfore I hope more people can notice her charm.

    Watanabe: And there is one more member of Team B, the young member Oshima Ryoka chan, after watching Miyazawa Sae's Musical "AKB49 Renai Kinshi Jourei", she is very energetic and shining, I think she can grow up more.

    Review year 2014, Watanabe: "It is the year AKB48 back to origin"

    Watanabe: As Yuko chan's graduation, feel it is the year back to origin and move forward. Members really consider which direction they should train themselves for new AKB48 development.

    Watanabe: It has been a lot of people know the name of AKB48, at 2015, I think it should go forward to make people know more about our members. For example Sakura and I being double CENTER of "Kibouteki Refrain", it can be more openly to perform, and do self promotion to more people. It is great keep doing this to get more opportunities."
