Ma.. Ma.. Mayuyu~

Mayuyu's 2nd PB is less than half the size of a sheet of A4 paper. I thought I was buying the wrong book (they have guide books for photobooks now?!!)

But it does have the advantage of being like 4-5 times thicker than normal photobooks. So it all evens out in the end.

For such a price, totally great value for such a crazy amount of beautiful pics. And it's all love with Mayuyu repping Japan's school uniforms.

Some preview pics to you guys before your copy arrives.
Just way too many great shots, so I just flipped random pages.

1st week sales, #9 on overall Oricon book charts, 17,836 copies.

For reference, her first photobook [Mayuyu], released 13th May 2011, sold 45,209 copies on it's first week on sale

Going to also compare to the aces of the sister groups:

Matsui Rena: 26,492
Yamamoto Sayaka: 27,622
Watanabe Miyuki: 29,800

I'm not really surprised by the low sales of this photobook - her first photobook was brilliant, had a large variety of photos, and displayed her assets well. This photobook has small paper size (A5) and is severely lacking in variety - just school uniforms, school sportsday...

Watanabe Mayu holds a release event for her latest photo book
by ustar on May 6, 2013 at 3:03 am

On May 4th, AKB48’s Watanabe Mayu held a release event for her latest photo book, ‘Watanabe Mayu Seifuku Zukan: Saigo no Seifuku‘.

Watanabe, who graduated high school last year, commented, “I was thinking about releasing a photo book while I was still 19-years-old, so it came true,” and declared, “Next, I want to hold a solo live in uniform before I’m 20!”

When asked about her solo activities, Watanabe said, “It gets lonely backstage, but doing things solo has its own goodness so it’s fulfilling.” She continued, “I haven’t thought about graduating AKB48. If anything, I should be continuing to do my best.”

Watanabe also commented on the upcoming senbatsu general elections (June 8th, Nissan Stadium). “Since it’s a festival, I want to enjoy it together with my fans without being too nervous.”
