Fuchigami Mai (Maichan)

So, while watching 141111 stage, I noticed her introduction was cutted off. Can someone tell me if it's a problem with the video or something (like the Iichan incident) happened?

 

I looked on 2ch and asked for a friend to translate it
So apparently, Maichan used her father's signature to apply to an audition (i guess HKT's) without his permission.
She was 15 at that time so I assume that's why they cut this part, just in case.

 

^wow, that could have gone bad.

 

@Benou thank you very much. I'm glad it worked well lol

 

if the video does not show watch the video here

Maichan's goal is Upcoming Girls' Center (65th).

 

That's one high goal I must say..kinda hard to achieve.

 

Maichan might be thinking that if she doesn't make an impact in this sousenkyo, she won't be able to bounce back to senbatsu. And any ranking below Upcoming Girls Center won't make an impact.

Anyhow, I'll be really happy if she ranks. This year's been cruel to her so I hope she gets another chance. I really want her to be in senbatsu again.

 

Whoever voted, I hope they keep it up.
That's a pretty big statement getting 15th with 11k votes. I hope that energizes her fans to keep pushing and not fizzle out after one day.

 

Maichan's rank completely shocked me. I'm so happy! She deserves it for sure. I was debating whether to send a vote her way, but now I'm convinced. Keep it up, Maichan oshi~

 

As rank 30 was being announced, I lost hope that Maichan won't rank in the prelims. But to be ranked number 15, that was surprising! Her fans sure worked hard. It's time for everyone to notice Maichan again.

Also, if we're going to look at the number of votes from last year's elections, #80 girl got 9k+ votes. Maichan got 11k+ so it's kinda safe to say that it's sure that she will rank.

 

Congrats Maichan!!! I loved the reactions from other HKT members.

 

Congratulations Maichan! I'm so glad HKT 2nd gen now has another strong contender.

 

Congrats Maichan I was more shock with her ranking in senbatsu then Tani ranking
actually she can rank higher then UCG
Harutamu last year Futamura rankd #14 and end up in 34 spot

 

That wouldn't be the case I guess. I'm not sort of always looking at stats but pretty much the numbers of votes increase in every SSK, if the votes don't come in for these 2 weeks, wonder where she will rank..

 

As a reference, #64 (last place) in 32nd single elections got 11k+ votes while #64 in 37th single elections got 12k+. Not much difference and Bokutachi's sales so far aren't much different from Labrador either. Unless Maichan's votes won't increase, she'll definitely rank. We're not just sure where.

 

no one has her G+ reaction at hand? I don't follow her account

皆さんに伝えたいことがあります！
長いですが、最後まで読んでくださったら嬉しいです。

今年の目標は65位を掲げていましたが、速報でいきなり15位にランクインさせていただきました。

皆さんからかけていただく、たくさんの「おめでとう」「大丈夫だよ」という言葉。
すごく嬉しい反面、不安にもなってきました。

私は、速報で終わらせたくないです！
この勢いを、本番に繋げたい！

今年の目標はアップカミングガールズのセンター65位を掲げてきました。

でもやっぱり、もっと上を目指したい。
ヒューチャーガールズ、いや、ネクストガールズ、、

ネクストガールズセンターの【33位】を目指します！

難しいことも、言い始めるのが遅いことも重々承知です(._.)
でも、目標を上げたいとんです!

期待させすぎてしまったかな？なんて思わないでください^o^

むしろ、上を目指したい気持ちがより強くなったのも、目標を上げる勇気を持てたのも、皆さんのおかげです❤️

私にとって今は、大きなチャンス！

速報で15位にランクインさせていただき、私のことを知らない方からは、誰？と思われていると思います。
注目の100人には入れなかったけど、速報をきっかけに注目してくださった方もいると思います。

だから私、今すごく燃えています✨

みなさんも一緒に燃えてください！！

朝から長文失礼しましたm(._.)m
今日も1日がんばりましょう！

いってきまーすヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ

Translation:
Good morning \(^o^)/

There's something I want to tell everybody!
It's long but I'd be happy if you could read until the end.

I set this year's goal to be #65 but in the preliminary rankings I suddenly ranked in at #15.

I received messages from everyone, with lots of words like "Congratulations" and "It's alright".
I'm really happy, but on the other hand, I've also started to feel anxious.

I don't want it to end at the preliminaries!
This energy, I want to bring it to the final rankings!

I set this year's goal to the center of Upcoming Girls, #65.

But really, I want to aim higher.
Future Girls... no, Next Girls...

I will aim for Next Girls Center, #33!

I am constantly aware that this will be difficult and that I'm late in saying this (._.)
But, I want to raise my goal!

Am I expecting too much, I wonder? Don't think about that sort of thing ^o^

Instead, rather than the thoughts of aiming higher, have thoughts of becoming stronger and having the courage to raise my goals, it's all thanks to everyone❤️

For me, now is a big chance!

In the preliminaries, I ranked in at #15, I think the people who don't know me are thinking "Who?"
I wasn't added in the list of 100 people to pay attention to (注目の100人) but because of these preliminaries I think there are people paying attention to me.

That's why I'm getting really fired up now✨

Everyone, let's get fired up together!!

Sorry for writing so much in the morning m(._.)m
Let's do our best today too!

I'll be back ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ
