The only performance (so far, at least) of Mayu's solo song "Junjou Soda Sui" from the last AKB album, at the Request Hour concerts:

Mayu's back in the AKB Theatre on the 14th May! Her last performance was on the 6th of Feb, so it's been ages!

It's not her seitansai, but Ikoma Rina's final Team B performance, which is a bit of a joke calling her a Team B member anyway, since she's only performed with them three times, the last of which was in July... almost a year ago now...

Mayu made a very brief appearance on TV show "Ippon Scout" today

I stumbled across the old (from 2010) AKB600seconds video of Mayu English subbed:

I remember watching this so many times in the past. And her fangirling about was definitely one of the things I loved about her. It was great to see it again!

Mayu was absent from the 2-shot event yesterday due to falling sick. She started her first slot (slot 2) 50mins late and then cancelled slots 2-8. She often seems to miss handshake events due to illness so this worries me. Get well soon Mayu!

Nice! Mayu has a rock side, and it's pretty good.

Just want to say I'm really proud of how Mayu reacted to her rank this year, and I think she behaved well at the election and had a nice speech and I'm so glad and surprised she tweeted so soon after and thanked the fans and seemed happy. I think her fans did a good job at increasing her number of votes by about 6k this year

It's been a busy time for Mayu, she only just finished filming Shoten Girl, has her single out next week, including the mini-live release events. I'm really excited about her single! And have recently began watching Shoten Girl and am really enjoying it

It's good times for Mayu recently - just lots of work at odd hours which is affecting her health unfortunately. All that overnight filming for Shoten Girl. Still, I'm very happy about her recently

AKB48 Watanabe Mayu talks about her beauty regime and fashion

Q:What do you do maintain your beauty?
I don’t do anything in particular…my eating habits and lifestyle is also bad. Girls my age will search for tips and fashion trends but i am bad with things like Acai Bowl and Juice Cleansing. I just try to be genki.

Q: What about skin care?
My skin is the kind that doesn’t break out, but I use cold water to tighten the skin after washing it. I also remove my makeup before I sleep. I don’t wear makeup on off days to let my skin rest. For my work, i put on as little makeup as possible for the natural look.

Q: Your black hair is one of your charms. We heard that you’ve never dyed it, do you want to?
Recently i wondered how it would be like to dye my hair. Sometimes it feels heavy to have black hair. I’d like to dye a color like Brown which can be seen when light shines on it. I like black but i’ve felt like it’s a waste not to have dyed my hair. In the meantime, i will keep it at black.

Q:What is the secret to your hair?
I go to the salon once a month for things like treatment and head spa. I try to dry my hair quickly after a bath.

Q: What is your summer fashion?
White is the trend now so i bought lots of white items and gaucho pants in different colors.I used to wear skirts more but recently i’ve moved into pants styles.

"AKB48 Watanabe Mayu guests as special lecturer for Skyrocket Company”

*Skyrocket Company is a radio broadcasting company. I am not very sure what they do as a business but i’m guessing their objective is to promote enthusiasm for work.

Q: You’ve worked hard for Sousenkyo. What is your feelings achieving No.3?
This year i was aiming for a straight win. It feels regretful not being able to do that, but i stopped after accepting reality. *Laughs*

Q:Your comment was also very digified.
It was unbelievable but i felt refreshed.

Q:That’s maturity. Did the members work extra hard during this period?
We work hard everyday and the fans vote to decide, so we have no choice but to work hard.

Q: The teaser for Jounetsu Tairiku shows you falling asleep while setting your hair. How long do you get to sleep?
I was working on a drama recently, there were times when i didn’t sleep at all. It seems enough just to have 1 or 2hours of sleep.My body gets used to it. *Laughs*

Q: Do you feel moody not being able to sleep that much?
I feel thankful just to be able to get work. So i work with the feeling that work will stop coming in. You won’t know when this will really happen.

Q: Do you feel like the stress has been lifted from your shoulders now that the Sousenkyo and drama is over?
Yes(laughs). I was very worried until the Sousenkyo. Now i’m relaxed now that everything’s over.

Q: Singing solo must be very different?
Yes. You don’t see anyone else, so the responsibility lies on myself.

Q: People with a sense of responsibility must feel rewarded in return?
Yes. There are seniors in AKB so i rely on them sometimes. For solo promotions, i have to do it all myself so there’s more responsibility at stake. I also enjoy it more.

Q: In other words, you are the fighter type.
People have told me that i’m stoic. I’m the type to be more enthusiastic if there’s a bigger obstacle.

AKB48 Watanabe Mayu talks about Matsui Rena,Graduation and Pompompurin

AKB48 Watanabe Mayu(21) appeared at the Tower Records Shibuya shop to promote her 5th single “Deai no Tsuzuki” and was given a surprise by Sanrio’s cartoon character Pompompurin.

As Pompompurin appeared on stage, Mayu couldn’t help squealing in happiness as she went to hug him. “Kya~~~!Is this a dream?This is not the time to be holding an event! I feel so happy to be born in Japan.” After hugging him several times, she calmed down and said “Surprisingly his fur is quite deep..”

Pompompurin was ranked 3rd in the preliminary rankings of the 30th Sanrio Character Award. Watanabe helped lobby for Pompompurin and said “If he gets first, he will become the official toy for Macdonald’s Happy Meal! Please vote for him.” After that she sang the coupling song from her 5th single “Onnanoko nara” with Pompompurin by her side. “Aren’t you busy since it's the midst of Sousenkyo? Is your schedule alright?” she continued asking, showing care for Pompompurin.

During the event, Mayu also sent a message to soon-to-graduate SKE48 member Matsui Rena.

“I was shocked. Rena chan is my junior but she is also seriously aiming to be an actress. Since her dream is unveiled, this is a positive graduation and I’d like to give her a push from the back. I look forward to her activities after graduation,” said Mayu.

She also talked about her own graduation. “I can’t be in AKB forever. Someday I will have to graduate. I don’t know when it’ll happen but i’m thinking about it.”

Mayuyu's live performances of Deai no Tsuzuki -

I like this song! Mayuyu sings very nicely too! She looks a bit tired though, the past weeks have been very busy for her (her drama, new single, elections etc.). I hope she can get a good rest now that the drama/elections are over.
