Mayu’s Restaurant Ōmiya store

こんにちは！まゆゆです(^。^)
Hello! Mayuyu’s here(^。^)

遅くなってしまい申し訳ないですが、
Sorry for the late update, but

16日は埼玉県の大宮ソニックシティ大ホールにて
on September 16, at Ōmiya Sonic City Large Hall, Saitama Prefecture





「ラッパ練習中」発売記念ソロライブ
"Rappa Renshuuchuu" ‘s release commemorative solo live

～Mayu’sレストラン 全曲フルコースを召し上がれ～
~Enjoy the All-song Full Course at Mayu’s Restaurant~

が行われました♪
was held♪

当日は台風の影響で、飛行機が欠航になってしまったり新幹線が止まってしまったり電車のダイヤが乱れてしまった為、第一部の開演を1時間遅らせていただきました。
Because of the typhoon, flights were canceled, the shinkansen railways were stopped and the train’s schedule was disrupted, therefore the opening time for the 1st performance was delayed for 1 hour.


大変お足元の悪い中お越し下さった皆様、本当に本当にありがとうございました！
Everyone who came despite the bad weather, thank you very very much!

沢山の方に来ていただけて、しあわせな気持ちでいっぱいです！
There were many people came, and it makes me fill with lots of happiness!

こんな所で雨女パワーを炸裂させてしまった事、深くお詫び申し上げます。
I deeply apologize for exploding my Ame-onna power in a place like this.


m(_ _)m


今回の新衣装！
The new outfits for this time!

やっとブログで公開できます。こんな感じでしたぁ～
Finally I can reveal it officially on my blog. It was like this~



ウェイトレスさんをモチーフにした衣装になっていまして、頭にコーヒーカップが乗っているのです()かわいい♪
The main theme for this outfits is waitress, and there’s a coffee cup on my head()so cute♪

背中にはなんと～
As for my back~





大きなスプーンが！
There’s a big spoon!

可愛すぎてかなりテンション上がりました(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))お衣装部様は神様！
It is so cute that my tension went up(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))Costumer-sama is really a kami-sama!

第一部では、私のソロ曲の中でも上位に入るぐらい大好きな「太陽と散歩」を初披露できて嬉しかったです♪
During the 1st performance, I was able to perform “Taiyou to sanpo”, which I love so much and could rank top within all my solo songs that I like, for the first time so I was very happy♪

メロディも歌詞もとっても可愛くて(*^^*)まだ聴いた事が無い方はぜひ聴いてみて下さい！
Its melody and lyrics are very cute(*^^*)Everyone who still hasn’t listened to it, please listen!

そして、この日はスペシャルゲストの方が2組いらっしゃって下さいました！
And then, there were 2 groups of special guests came for this day!

1人は、いつもソロライブでキーボードを演奏して下さるARISAさん♪
1st was ARISA-san who always plays keyboard for my solo lives♪


そしてもう1組は、、、
And the other group….

なんと！！！！
IS!!!!

「ラッパ練習中」でコラボさせていただいた、
オレスカバンドの皆さんが来て下さいましたーーー！！
Everyone in OreSka Band, who collaborated with me for “Rappa Renshuuchuu”, came—-!!

歌番組では何度か共演させていただきましたが、こうしてライブで共演するのは初めてでした。うれしい！
I’ve performed with them for many times on music shows, but it was my first time to perform with them at a live. I’m happy!

オレスカバンドさんの曲も2曲披露していただいたのですが、とにかくかっこいいパフォーマンスにしびれました(^○^)すごかったー！
OreSka band-san also performed 2 of their own songs, and I was fascinated by their cool performance(^○^)So awesome~!

改めて、こんな素晴らしい方達とコラボレーションさせていただけて本当に嬉しい事だなと実感しました♪
Once again, I felt that it was really a joyful thing to be able to collaborate with such wonderful friends♪

そして、
And,

「ラッパ練習中」をARISAさんとオレスカバンドさんの生演奏で歌わせていただきました！！
I got to sing “Rappa Renshuuchuu” live with ARISA-san and OreSka Band-san!!

やっぱり生演奏は最高ですね！
Live performances are the best, after all!

ほんっっっとうに楽しかったです！！
It was reallllllly exciting!!

忘れられない思い出になりました♪
It has become one of my unforgettable memories♪



オレスカバンドさん＆ARISAさんと(*^o^*)皆さん優しくて大好き～！
With OreSka Band-san & ARISA-san(*^o^*)Everyone is so kind, I love you all~!

アンコールでの、
I was really moved,

客席からの”まゆゆコール”は本当に感動しました。
By the “Mayuyu call” from the audience seats at the encore.

一体感がとにかく凄くて！！
The unity was so great!!

皆さん、流石です！
As expected from everyone!

ずっと聞いていたかったなぁ(￣▽￣)
I’ve always wanted to hear that(￣▽￣)

そして、最後には
And lastly,

まゆゆの直筆サイン＆メッセージ入りカラーボールを投げさせていただきました！
I threw color balls with Mayuyu’s autograph and messages!

無事届きましたでしょうか～？？
Did all of them reach you all safely~??

今回は、
This time,

中央ブロックの方にも届くようにラケットを使いました～
I used the racket so that the balls could also get to everyone in the central block~


、、、が、
…but,

ラケットを使っても素手で投げるのと大して変わらないという（笑）
It seemed that the situation didn’t change much whether I used the racket or threw the balls with my bare hand (laugh)

次までにテニススクール通っておきます。
Until next time, I should go to a tennis school.

あ、そういえば
Ah, by the way,

この日はチームまゆゆのみんなのTシャツに落書きしました～
On this day, I scribbled on the T-shirts of everyone in team Mayuyu~



職種と名前と私のサインとむちちを書きました（笑）
I wrote their names and jobs, my autographs and drew Muchichi (laugh)

一日中大事に着てくれて嬉しかった(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))チームまゆゆ最高！祭！
I was glad that they all wore them dearly all day(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))Team Mayuyu is the best! Festival!

今回のソロイベント、
Everyone who came to the solo events this time,

お越し下さった皆様本当にありがとうございました！
Thank you very much!

感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
I’m filled with lots of grateful feelings.

これからも、日々前進していきますので
From now on, I’ll still move forward everyday, so

渡辺麻友の応援よろしくお願いします！
Please continue your support for Watanabe Mayu!



パパラ～パパラ～パパパ～ラ♪

牢獄遊園地からまゆゆを救え!! ! ～前編～
Save Mayuyu from the prison amusement park!! ! ~First part~

こんにちは～まゆゆです！
Hello~ Mayuyu’s here!

おや、何か視線を感じる…
Hm, I can feel someone’s gaze…



ん？あれは誰だろう…
Hm? Who’s there…



もっ…もしや？！
C…Could it be?!



でれーーーーーーん！！
Dereーーーーーーn!!

そうです、まゆゆです＼(^o^)／
Yup, it’s Mayuyu＼(^o^)／


実は、昨日！
The truth is, yesterday!

牢獄遊園地からまゆゆを救え!!! in 東京ドームシティ アトラクションズ
Save Mayuyu from the prison amusement park!!! in Tokyo Dome City Attractions

にチームまゆゆのみんなと遊びに行ってきました～
I went to play there with everyone in Team Mayuyu~



あ～楽しかった(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))
Ah~ It was fun(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

まずは、お腹が空いたのでフェスタカフェにて限定コラボメニューをいただきまゆゆ
First, I was hungry so I ate the meal in the limited collaboration menu at Festa Cafe *she wrote itadakiMayuyu here*
♪



おいしかった～～
It was delicious~~

きのこピラフ最高(￣▽￣)
Mushroom pilaf was the best(￣▽￣)



コースターもばっちりもらっちゃいました！
I also got the coasters perfectly!

さて！
Well then!

腹ごしらえも済んだ所で、謎解きスタート！！
I started the mystery solving after finished my meal!!


※謎解きゲーム中は、あまりにも夢中になりすぎて写真を一枚も撮っておりません。
ご了承下さい。
※I was so into the mystery solving game that I did not take any pictures.
Please understand.


あちらこちらを行ったり来たり必死に走り回り、アトラクションに乗っては我を忘れ
て騒ぎ、風男塾さんの握手会イベントの様子を遠くからガン見したり、謎が解けなく
て真剣に悩んだり、途中ヘアメイクの愛ちゃんが離脱したりと…
I went here and there and ran around frantically,
I was beside myself with fuss when riding on attractions,
I stared fixedly at Fudanjuku-san’s handshake event from far away,
I worried seriously when not being able to solve the mystery,
and my hair and make-up artist, Ai-chan, withdrew in the middle…

そんなこんなしている内に、なんと
And while I was doing all of that,


時 間 切 れ ＼(^o^)／
Time’s up ＼(^o^)／


嘘だ…
No way…

信じたくない…
I can’t believe it…

まゆゆを救えなかった…
I couldn’t save Mayuyu…



嗚呼…
Aahh…



うおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおおお
Uooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh



つづく・・・

牢獄遊園地の巨大看板発見！！
I found the large billboard for this prison amusement park!!



でっかーーい！！

と、なぜか無駄にハイテンションになってしまいました。
And, somehow, to no avail, I went to high tension.

何はともあれ、
Anyway,

とても楽しく充実した時間でした。
It was a fun and satisfied time.

牢獄遊園地からまゆゆを救え!!!
Save Mayuyu from the prison amusement park!!!

Keyboardist Arisa posted a blog collection some pictures she took during September: http://ameblo.jp/ars-11/entry-11619527080.html

Of most interest is she posted a picture of Mayuyu's pink yukata from the 1st September Nagoya shows. As far as I remember, no other pic has been posted of this anywhere:



She also posted a pic of her backstage pass from the 16th September Omiya shows:



I think these pictures from both events were posted before from her twitter but am including here for completeness:

Mayuyu 4th single had a tie in with an event at Tokyo Dome City attractions.  There was a quiz and now that the event is over, they have revealed the solutions/answers at http://at-raku.com/mayuyu/answer.html

[Jul3]

^ still looks too complicated for me with my lack of Japanese knowledge 

Here's Mayu's siggy from that site:




Sorry I've been so slow in getting round to the Mayu event part of my trip report. Hopefully I'll get round to it soon 

In the meantime...

Rappa Renshuuchuu launch event exclusive original goods, only sold at the events.

I decided to buy one of nearly everything! Just decided against the keychain
