Confirms info in previous post (although I can't quite work out what the DVD track for Type A is about, doesn't mention Synchro Tokimeki event, so could be something else... [Mayu to ~ minnano “otona” o itadaki mayuyu ~]

[jafeijai]

^ Type A DVD is basically watching Mayu running around the member-only areas of a handshake event with a camera and talking to members, taking in their 'adultness'.

Personally I'm most excited for the Mayu x Nacchan interview. Apparently they haven't talked since Nacchan left the group in January, so it'll be interesting to see how they react to one another after so long. It probably won't be their usual backstage, high tension fooling around; rather I'm expecting a rare serious talk between the two.

[YKT]

^Mayuyu and Nacchan as featured in the morning news and newspapers:





You may notice the distance?    I read on 2ch that Mayuyu has not forgiven her 100% (but that is not confirmed and the ''sound bite'' may be out of context - have to watch the entire recording)

[YKT]

http://daily.co.jp/gossip/2012/07/10/0005201316.shtml

It's true, Mayu hasn't 100% forgiven her, but it's not like she hasn't forgiven her either.

[Masa]

Length of the footage is 20 minutes. Filming was held on June 27th, 143 days after Hirajima left AKB. They said they hadn't even contacted with each other, and after they greeted each other with staff expression, they moved to a topic on Hirajima's incident.
"I was shocked. It's not like I haven't forgiven her. But I probably haven't 100% forgiven her. Because there was an incident like that, and there were a lot of harrowing emotions..... I have many to think upon.", Mayuyu threw her feeling straight towards Hirajima. Hirajima, as shedding tears, replied, "I'm I'm ashamed of myself. I can't only say 'I'm sorry, I'm just so sorry'. I want to come back to AKB, but I no longer can't....." she apologized.

majuholic0511 found the previews for the B-sides:

[Seigus]

^ Yay for previews! Thanks for sharing!

Saisho no Jack: A strong B-side which can pass off as an A-side too Now just wondering what the lyrics are about.
Itsu Demo Soba ni Ite Ageru: Was hoping for a slow song and here it is! And Mayuyu sounds good in this short perview. I kind of want to hear a MaYuki version of this.
Twin Tail wa Mou Shinai: Mayuzaka46, seriously? Whatever happened to official rival of AKB48? Oh well, management and their marketing strategy. I'd rather Mayuyu have the whole song to herself as the song is about twintails - a topic that is very close to Mayuyu as twintails is (was?) her signature hairstyle. Anyway, cute and perky song though somewhat generic-sounding.
Zannen Shoujo: Zannen Shoujo is a great song but I'd rather have a brand new song for the B-side. I mean we are already one Mayu solo down with the Nogizaka46 collab for Twin Tail. And I already mentally filtered out the other members' voices in the original unit song.
Koyubi no Hohoemi: Current favourite based on the previews! I like the mix of cool and cute vibes in this song. The Regular editions of Mayuyu's solo singles tend to get the cool and strong-sounding B-sides (Shinjuku Yuutousei in Synchro Tokimeki). I hope this trend keeps up!

Twin Tail wa Mou Shinai: Mayuzaka46, seriously? Whatever happened to official rival of AKB48? Oh well, management and their marketing strategy. I'd rather Mayuyu have the whole song to herself as the song is about twintails - a topic that is very close to Mayuyu as twintails is (was?) her signature hairstyle. Anyway, cute and perky song though somewhat generic-sounding.

Mayuzaka46 sneak - preview of next week's WPB

Mayuzaka46 sneak - preview of next week's WPB

An enormous two-sided poster with a solo Mayuyu on one side! I will be stalking CDJapan for availability of next week's WPB then.

Anyway, looks like Mayuyu not only has the charm and ability to bridge the gap between generations in AKB48 but also the gap between rival groups. Go Mayuyu!

Mayuzaka46 gives off such a fresh feeling and I'm actually quite liking the idea now! The N46 girls and Mayuyu complement each other very well. Although Mayuyu takes center position in the PV, the N46 girls still manage to shine which means that Mayuyu makes a lovely center. She's pretty, cute and interesting to capture one's attention, yet she doesn't totally steal the show. I'm now interested in finding out more about N46

I'd rather Mayuyu have the whole song to herself as the song is about twintails - a topic that is very close to Mayuyu as twintails is (was?) her signature hairstyle. Anyway, cute and perky song though somewhat generic-sounding.

Scratch my earlier impression of the song! Mayuzaka46 collab unit is something I wouldn't mind to see more of. And after listening to the whole song and watching the PV, I love it. So lively. So young. So fresh!

Not a translation, but what I can make out of it:

Two days of mini-live events:

September 15th: Osaka Castle
September 17th: Kanagawa Prefectural Hall, Yokohama
There are two events per day,  1,900 people per show in Osaka, 2,400 people per show in Yokohama

There are also limited things like autographs etc for a few hundred people per event (and some other interesting sounding stuff I can't understand...)

I believe the lottery applications are included within the CD case of her new single.

Excerpt from http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/4047477.html

NINKI ratings

Singles:

01 222.30 EIGHT RANGER (Kanjani8) - ER
02 151.00 Watanabe Mayu - Otona Jelly Beans
03 143.70 EXILE - BOW & ARROWS
04 65.40 AAA - 777 ~We can sing a song~
05 51.50 Nishino Kana - GO FOR IT!!
06 35.60 Fairies - Tweet Dream / Sparkle
07 29.40 Berryz Koubou - cha cha SING
08 28.10 ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - Soredewa, Mata Ashita
09 26.60 Superfly & Tortoise Matsumoto - STARS
10 25.20 Sakamoto Maaya - More Than Words

Note 1:

The NINKI ratings are the results of a POLL conducted by Oricon indicating degree of interest/degree of purchase intention in an upcoming release. Although the ratings are never a true reflection of sales, it does give a strong prediction about where the single/album will place in terms of popularity amongst the Japanese public. However, they are NOT an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week.

Note 2:

According to Oricon's note under the NINKI page, Oricon researches about 870,000 of its members by random sampling of 400 members in their 10s until 40s. 50 men and 50 women are chosen randomly to participate in each age group. (However, some popular artists have had NINKI exceeding 500, so we can only assume that Oricon has extended the polling to around 600/700 people now.)

Watanabe Mayu - Twin tail wa mou shinai (ツインテールはもうしない) Lyrics and Translation

Has no one noticed yet?
the fact that I put on lipstick
My big sis looked unconcerned
many times in front of my mum
Even though I'm older than I look
I'll forever get treated as a child
I'm in love
Though we still haven't kissed

During puberty everyone tries to overdo themselves, yeah?

I'll stop with the twin tails
It was my unchanging image
That's right, I'd probably like to
meet with a new me
My hair is now quick and easy
I'll graduate from my twin tails

Even getting called childish
by my close friends
With a sex appeal that takes people aback
Before very long, I'll somehow be able to manage
Just a little more than last year
the here and theres of my body
are as they are, maturing
I'll wear stilettos

Because I know myself best

I'll stop with the twin tails
Because of that I looked like Lolita Fashion
Come now, once I untie the
long hair that I tied up, I'll become someone else, right?

Girls are capable of an ever-changing appearance
I want to quickly become an adult

I'll stop with the twin tails
After all, I want a boyfriend

I'll stop with the twin tails
It was my unchanging image
That's right, I'd probably like to
meet with a new me
My hair is now quick and easy
I'll graduate from my twin tails
