^thanks YKT for the pic! :)

Personally my favourite is the third one (counting from the upper-left-most as one, & rightward for two & so on.) My second favourite is the second one & third favourite is the fifth one. It seems like I like manga style with a dose of realism. :lol:

The first one, which is used for the cover, looks a little bit scary for me... :nervous
A little bit... emo I guess? :sweatdrop:
Would have really loved it if they used the three I preferred for the cover. :lol:

Are these illustrations only included in the limited edition thou? :?

DVD bonus content for Type B

Haha that picture  :lol:

This is called "Chou megami kourin ~ kyodai mayuyu, Akihabara ni shutsugen! ~

I think students from Kyoto University of Art and Design (Which Aki-P is involved with) had something to do with the making of this feature.

As YKT pointed out to me, the details for her Hikaru Monotachi premium events on 13/14/19th January are also available at her official site. Later on I might try and figure them out, although, I won't be going anyway.

Type B DVD and she portrays a ''goddess'' of Akihabara?
It's a small movie directed by current university students, including interviews with Mayu/students. Story goes that giant Mayu's from space and she's walking around Akiba to look for her lost memories.

And here's what I can make out, which isn't much.

Prize A: live performance event ticket
Prize B: "dokidoki" event ticket
Prize C: special goods

A: Mini-live concerts:

13th Jan: Port Messe Nagoya, two performances, 3000 people each updated on Nov 21st to 4000 people each
19th Jan: Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall, two performances, 4000 people each

B: "doki doki" event:

14th Jan: Osanbashi Hall, Yokohama (no live concert)

SP1: 120 winners, group photos with Mayuyu (40 in each group?)
SP2: 50 winners, Mayuyu writes you a Happy New Year greeting
SP3: 50 winners, not quite sure, but you have some kind of 10-second meeting with her
SP4: 100 winners, Mayuyu personalised autograph?
SP5: 700 winners, not sure at all
SP6: 20 winners, again, not sure, something about a Mayuyuroid illustration?
SP7: 200 winners, not sure at all
SP8: 10 winners, I think you do a dubbing session from the Nerawara Gakeun anime with her
SP9: 30 winners, something where she is dressed up as Mayu-tan tte from the Megutan spin-off
SP10: 300 winners, not sure at all

Well, told you I couldn't really work it out, anyway, I guess the point is 14,000 people get to see her perform a mini-live. And then there a bunch of special events at another date, which are probably hard to attend if you are a foreigner with no Japanese knowledge

Think you're inserting extra characters when you're reading it; there's no mention of 'megane', only 'mega' as in huge. :P

Check out the following summary by http://nanamekaramariko.tumblr.com/post/35692323522/watanabe-mayus-3rd-solo-single-hikaru
Quote
Watanabe Mayu’s 3rd solo single “Hikaru Monotachi” A short movie “Mega Mayuyu descends on Akiba” will be recorded on the bonus DVD for Watanabe Mayu’s 3rd solo single ”Hikaru Monotachi” (on sale the 21st).   Mayuyu stars in the short movie “Super Goddess Descends ~Giant Mayuyu, Appears in Akihabara!~” which was directed by a student around the same age as her. The staff were all students around the same age, and the idea came from the thought “what if Mayuyu was a student and was in the movie club?”  For the first press limited edition B, the DVD included will not only have the main movie, but also interviews with Mayuyu and the student director along with a documentary about the making process.  (First press A to include “Mayuyu school uniform collection” and C to include “Mayu-tan tte Mahou Tsukaeruno?”)  *Source:  http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/music/2018734/full/?cat_id=tw

Wow, it look a little tight next week! :O2
So, in order to relieve my anxiety, I did a little bit of homework... :mon trudge:

Considering the above, & the personal bias that I like Hikaru Monotachi more than Otano Jelly Beans, methink Mayuyu should be able to take first week!
At least I hope so.

Oh wow, super close battle for the top three!

Latest proper Momoclo single sold: 67,596
Mayu's Otona Jelly beans sold:  87,993

Imo this single is better and has more hype than jelly beans, so I hope it can get similar numbers.
The timing may be worse though since Xmas etc is coming up and we're in the middle of a release spree.

I'ma be sad if two of Japans top idol artists won't be able to beat SNSD  :P

edit: Rust beat me to it  :lol: We reached the same conclusion too, haha.

Props to Rust and SomethingWild for your stats and insights respectively.  :twothumbs 

Think it's gonna be close.  :panic:  Why couldn't SonyMusic choose a better release date?  Seems like all her singles were released with fierce competitors.  IIRC, Yamashita Tomohisa for her 1st and Eight Ranger (Kanjani8) for her 2nd.

Hope her appearance on Msta will help?  :sweatdrop:

While I was feeding my newfound Nana Mizuki obsession, I read she is the only seiyuu ever with a #1 on the weekly Oricon charts.

If that's accurate, then Mayu has a chance of becoming the youngest seiyuu ever with a #1! Excited to see the sales tomorrow  :panic:
