^Woot congrats to Marippe!! Even though it was 35k items away from #1

This latest single from her is so much better than the one before it IMO just cause she sounded so much better than she did in Seishun Boku.

Congrads on the single, although as a small victory, 18K is rather good

Didn't realise Mari was gonna be represented in Yakuza 4!

The game also featured the appearance of popstar and former Morning Musume singer Mari Yaguchi. "There was a lot of me being sexy, and it was really embarrassing, but when the voice track was matched with the graphics, I thought, 'I can be really sexy', and that gave me confidence."

Lending her likeness and her voice to the game, she stars as, of all things, a massage therapist! Guess where all my in-game money would be going!

[kuro808]

hmm I would wonder if I had the game.... Oh yeah definitely just stay there and stare

3 hi-res pics of Mari from the game at the bottom~
...what's she doing in the last picture?! 

[Tuffty]

That 2nd pic is weird. Like her head's placed at an odd angle on her body, but I know that's just cause of the angle.

Yaguchi appearing in the new Yakuza game was already announced back in November.

I guess the latest news is just an update on the game's development progress.

She's certainly come a long way from the days of Space Venus.

   Hahaha!  When I heard she was scanned for a video game, I didn't expect that it would border on pornographic.


Vietnam!  Bam! Bam!

[pikapikapika]

there's 2 more, lol.





Apparently the Japansese comments are really funny~

矢口好きだけどこれは何かおかしい
(I like Yaguchi, but this is kind of weird.)

こう見るとものすごい気持ち悪いな
(Watching this really, really creeps me out.)

エッチですね(*´д｀*)ﾊｧﾊｧ
最高です！！
("It's so lewd... AWESOME!!")

Although Yakuza is kind of like the Japanese GTA, this whole thing is meant to be humorous, tounge in cheek, etc. don't worry ^^

[kyunkyun]

Yaguchi, yaguchi  Sexy beam! 

[Tuffty]

What is she saying anyway? Or is it material worthy only in Yaguchi's perv thread?

[pikapikapika]

imolestjyanniz on arama translated one of the videos as:

0:01 - Please leave it to me, ok!
0:06 - Do ???? like this. (not sure what she says there)
0:14 - You're so handsome, (literally, "big brother is so handsome!") you make me feel a little shy
0:20 - I'll do my best to provide you good service! ahahaha!
0:26 - If it hurts, definitely let me know
0:35 - It doesn't hurt? ehehe, how is it? I'm good right? Does it feel good?
If you can't bear it, please tell me
0:53 - Yoisho, yoisho (um, just a sound of working hard)
0:57 - Hm? What is it? What would you like me to do for you? If it's you, I'll listen to anything you have to say.

and then lots of echoing of previous lines.

Mari has opened her own restaurant.

Mari Yaguchi offers Japanese beef at low prices in Roppongi

Sunday 21st March, 06:15 AM JST

TOKYO —

Former Morning Musume leader Mari Yaguchi, 27, attended a press event this week to promote the opening of her restaurant in Roppongi as part of the Onyasai shabu shabu chain.

Yaguchi, who was also leader of Minimoni - a group formed in 2000 by three girls from Morning Musume who were under 150 cm tall at the time, got stuck into the sublime Japanese beef the chain offers at low prices, and some of the 24 varieties of Japanese-produced salads and vegetables.

Yaguchi said she has been a customer of Onyasai for a long time and had gone there about once a week, finally deciding to get in on the action and open her own store - customizing the cutlery, interior design and some items on the menu.

She said she had included a large number of private booths and a reporter asked her if she would go on a date there. Yaguchi replied that she didn’t want to become prey for the mass media, but said she was very excited about the restaurant and will have to wait and see.

The Onyasai shabu shabu chain has more than 200 stores nationwide, and to mark the opening of the Roppongi store, all stores will be offering their 490 yen plates of Japanese beef for 100 yen until March 25 (limited to one plate and excluding lunch time.)
