Watanabe Mayu announces her third single “Hikaru Monotachi”

On September 27, it was announced that AKB48 member Watanabe Mayu is releasing a new single titled “Hikaru Monotachi” on November 21.

Only four months after her previous single “Otona Jelly Beans“, Watanabe is already ready to release her third solo single. The new single is titled “Hikaru Monotachi” and is said to be an up-tempo electronic track.

Watanabe commented, “I’m very happy that I can already release my third single so soon after ‘Otona Jelly Beans’. This new song will be very different from my previous two singles, I had a very fresh feeling during the recording.”

The coupling track for this upcoming single will be “Sayonara no Hashi“, which is the theme song for the upcoming anime movie ‘Nerawareta Gakuen‘ (release: November 10), where the protagonist is being voiced by Watanabe as well.

Those who buy one of the three different first press limited editions will also get a DVD that includes bonus footage, which includes Watanabe sporting different school uniforms from all 47 prefectures of Japan. She commented about this unprecedented project, “It’s so much fun wearing all those cute uniforms from all over the country. You all should certainly look forward to this.”

My happiest moment today - seeing CDJapan's email about Mayuyu's new single which is a full solo single and not just a single for the anime movie!

Second happiest moment - coming to this thread to find out that there will be a total of 5 types with 1 special limited edition which comes with a bonus item according to CDJapan :w00t: I'm so excited although my wallet is screaming bloody murder already :lol:

Mayuyu getting such regular solo single releases is proof that the management recognises her potential and star power. This single's sales should be better than Otona Jelly Beans which was a victim of a too-tight release schedule for Mayuyu then.

Go Mayuyu! Go future ace! :cheers

Thanks so much for the video links, YKT! :deco:

This video just affirms that Mayuyu has all the makings of a classic national idol! She gives off the aura of a classy and pure beauty with a simple style that everyone can appreciate. And gah, what I would do to be in Watanabe Gakuen! :wub: I would look forward to school everyday even if I'm sick :lol:

The filming of the video must have been tedious with lots of retakes to coordinate the timings of each "Mayuyu". I can imagine all the laughs she and the crew must have had during the shoot as she was basically interacting with air XD

This is a promising start to her third solo single and I eagerly await the rest of the songs. In the meantime, I'll be looping this PV.

Thanks so much for the covers and links, Jul! :deco:

First off, Mayuyu looks flawless on all the covers. Very interesting cyborg outfit that doesn't look tacky. And check out the comics print on her skirt!

The song: The beginning gave me serious Perfume vibes with its electropop sound. Good thing that Mayuyu's voice isn't heavily synthesized throughout the song. I'm not a big fan of such performance-style PVs as I'm seeing too much audience and not enough Mayuyu :smhid Anyway, the short version of the PV ends on a cliffhanger so I'm hoping for something that will really make Mayuyu's character connect with the viewer.

Got to go to work now. Will check out the song previews later!

I'm liking electropop Mayuyu quite a bit. I think her image fits it really well. The covers are awesome.

PV looks pretty interesting too. Can't wait for full version.

Absolutely genius.

- Electropop like this seems to be quite popular in Japan (and elsewhere), yet we didn't see much of it within AKB48. One more market to conquer.
- Mayu is perfect for it. She already established the CG character years ago and they keep expending on it (0048, digi photo set, etc.).
- It looks super pro. The covers are epic. Dig the outfit too. Pro, not tacky.

I predict this will do great. Mayu is the future and the future is now.

After watching the news footage which reveals more of the PV, I'm sold! The part where Mayuyu sings to the camera in the virtual world is just what I'm looking for. There's that eye contact with the viewer that every idol PV needs to make it complete (in my opinion at least).

While I agree with SomethingWild about electropop being one market that AKB48 has yet to conquer, I would like to see Mayuyu try more music styles for her future solo releases as she still has a lot of room and time for experiments. I love her CG character but I want her to develop further as she has the potential to be an all-rounded entertainer. Aside from her usual cute image, she can do pure & innocent (Sayonara no Hashi), cool (UZA), eccentric (Saba Dol) and beautiful (Team A's Kodoku na Hoshizora). I'm so excited just thinking about the possibilities!

Mayu is the future and the future is now.

Quote of the Day! :thumbup :thumbup

First impressions of the other songs on the single based on the previews

Chiheisen no kanata wa doko ni aru? - Beyond the horizon -: Based on the title alone, I was expecting an emotional ballad but I guess we have that covered with Sayonara no Hashi (which I simply adore). Not bad. I am hearing hopefulness in the song. An easy listening track, I would say.

Heart no Soup: The obligatory upbeat song XD

2-ri no Yoake: My favourite of the bunch. Curious, young love is in the air~ The song has an old-school vibe with the brass instruments which I really appreciate. Makes me want to fall in love again :wub:

Koio fun Jatta: I like the playful feel of this one. Looking forward to the full song!

^thanks YKT for the pic! :)

Personally my favourite is the third one (counting from the upper-left-most as one, & rightward for two & so on.) My second favourite is the second one & third favourite is the fifth one. It seems like I like manga style with a dose of realism. :lol:

The first one, which is used for the cover, looks a little bit scary for me... :nervous
A little bit... emo I guess? :sweatdrop:
Would have really loved it if they used the three I preferred for the cover. :lol:

Are these illustrations only included in the limited edition thou? :?

This is called "Chou megami kourin ~ kyodai mayuyu, Akihabara ni shutsugen! ~

I think students from Kyoto University of Art and Design (Which Aki-P is involved with) had something to do with the making of this feature.

As YKT pointed out to me, the details for her Hikaru Monotachi premium events on 13/14/19th January are also available at her official site. Later on I might try and figure them out, although, I won't be going anyway.

It's a small movie directed by current university students, including interviews with Mayu/students. Story goes that giant Mayu's from space and she's walking around Akiba to look for her lost memories.

And here's what I can make out, which isn't much.

Prize A: live performance event ticket
Prize B: "dokidoki" event ticket
Prize C: special goods

A: Mini-live concerts:

13th Jan: Port Messe Nagoya, two performances, 3000 people each updated on Nov 21st to 4000 people each
19th Jan: Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall, two performances, 4000 people each

B: "doki doki" event:

14th Jan: Osanbashi Hall, Yokohama (no live concert)

SP1: 120 winners, group photos with Mayuyu (40 in each group?)
SP2: 50 winners, Mayuyu writes you a Happy New Year greeting
SP3: 50 winners, not quite sure, but you have some kind of 10-second meeting with her
SP4: 100 winners, Mayuyu personalised autograph?
SP5: 700 winners, not sure at all
SP6: 20 winners, again, not sure, something about a Mayuyuroid illustration?
SP7: 200 winners, not sure at all
SP8: 10 winners, I think you do a dubbing session from the Nerawara Gakeun anime with her
SP9: 30 winners, something where she is dressed up as Mayu-tan tte from the Megutan spin-off
SP10: 300 winners, not sure at all

Well, told you I couldn't really work it out, anyway, I guess the point is 14,000 people get to see her perform a mini-live. And then there a bunch of special events at another date, which are probably hard to attend if you are a foreigner with no Japanese knowledge

Watanabe Mayu’s 3rd solo single “Hikaru Monotachi” A short movie “Mega Mayuyu descends on Akiba” will be recorded on the bonus DVD for Watanabe Mayu’s 3rd solo single ”Hikaru Monotachi” (on sale the 21st).   Mayuyu stars in the short movie “Super Goddess Descends ~Giant Mayuyu, Appears in Akihabara!~” which was directed by a student around the same age as her. The staff were all students around the same age, and the idea came from the thought “what if Mayuyu was a student and was in the movie club?”  For the first press limited edition B, the DVD included will not only have the main movie, but also interviews with Mayuyu and the student director along with a documentary about the making process.  (First press A to include “Mayuyu school uniform collection” and C to include “Mayu-tan tte Mahou Tsukaeruno?”)  *Source:  http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/music/2018734/full/?cat_id=tw (http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/music/2018734/full/?cat_id=tw)

Considering the above, & the personal bias that I like Hikaru Monotachi more than Otano Jelly Beans, methink Mayuyu should be able to take first week!
At least I hope so.

Oh wow, super close battle for the top three!

Latest proper Momoclo single sold: 67,596
Mayu's Otona Jelly beans sold:  87,993

Imo this single is better and has more hype than jelly beans, so I hope it can get similar numbers.
The timing may be worse though since Xmas etc is coming up and we're in the middle of a release spree.

I'ma be sad if two of Japans top idol artists won't be able to beat SNSD  :P

edit: Rust beat me to it  :lol: We reached the same conclusion too, haha.

Props to Rust and SomethingWild for your stats and insights respectively.  :twothumbs 

Think it's gonna be close.  :panic:  Why couldn't SonyMusic choose a better release date?  Seems like all her singles were released with fierce competitors.  IIRC, Yamashita Tomohisa for her 1st and Eight Ranger (Kanjani8) for her 2nd.

Hope her appearance on Msta will help?  :sweatdrop:

While I was feeding my newfound Nana Mizuki obsession, I read she is the only seiyuu ever with a #1 on the weekly Oricon charts.

If that's accurate, then Mayu has a chance of becoming the youngest seiyuu ever with a #1! Excited to see the sales tomorrow  :panic:

Thanks so much for the timely reminder, Jul! I signed up at niconico once I saw your post. Gave my virgin nico livestream to Mayuyu XD

Mayuyu was so cute throughout the live :heart: She seemed a little nervous during parts of the MC but that just made her all the more adorable. I LOL-ed at the drinking water part :lol: All in all, it was a short but enjoyable mini-live :twothumbs

Missed seeing it live as I was out but managed to watch it on Nicovideo timeshift.

It was really good! Having the crowd noises so high in the mix really added to the excitement and the sense of atmosphere :)
The small venue was cool, the fans could really interact with her.

As for the what happened if you missed it. It was 33 mins long. The first 10 mins were just the DJ on-stage, he mostly played a nice remix of Mayuyuroid. Then Mayuyu came out in the Hikaru Monotachi costume and did Hikaru Monotachi, Otona Jelly Beans, and Synchro Tokimeki. I really enjoyed listening to all three songs!
(edit:) Forgot to say but I loved how there was the CG Mayuyu and real life Mayuyu performing the same moves together during Hikaru Monotachi :)

Also, the Music Station performance earlier today was really good too! It's been a great day for Mayuyu performances  :twothumbs

I think it's quite rare for the 3rd single to outsell the 2nd single these days especially among AKB48's soloists.

Watanabe Mayu’s solo single tops the Oricon weekly chart for the first time

AKB48 member Watanabe Mayu’s 3rd solo single, “Hikaru Monotachi” (released November 21st), has sold 92,000 copies in its first week and has topped the Oricon weekly chart for the week of December 3rd. This is her first time topping the charts after making her solo debut in February.

Watanabe is said to be one of the candidates for the next ace after claiming 2nd place in the recent ‘AKB48 General Elections‘. Her previous singles, “Synchro Tokimeki” (released in February) and “Otona Jelly Beans” (released in July), placed 2nd and 3rd on the Oricon weekly chart respectively.

After Maeda Atsuko’s “Flower” (June 2011), Itano Tomomi’s “Fui ni” (July 2011), and Sashihara Rino’s “Ikujinashi Masquerade” (October 2012), Watanabe is the 4th AKB48 soloist to top the single chart.

“Hikaru Monotachi” was arranged by vocaloid artist Hachioji P, and the illustration for the main visual was done by Aki Akane.

Sorry for being late…but allow me to announce once again.

先週、11/21に発売しました渡辺麻友の3rdソロシングル「ヒカルものたち」が

Watanabe Mayu’s 3rd single “Hikarumonotachi” which was released on November 21st last week

12/3付け オリコンシングル、ウィークリーチャートで、堂々の第1位を獲得いたしました~~~~~

has won the regal 1st place on Oricon Single Weekly Chart that will last until December 3rd.

超絶うれすぃ----------い!!!

Ultra happ———————-y!!!!

ヤッタ!ヤッタ!ヤッタッタ~~~!

We did it! We did it! We did it~~~!

今回1位をとることができたのは、これは、もちろん、ファンの皆さんのおかげです。

Of course, it was thanks to the fans that we were able to get the 1st place this time.

本当にありがとうございました!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!

まゆ選手、やっぱりバイヤーだよバイヤー(涙)、

Mayu-senshu* is definitely a buyer, isn’t she (Tears),

全米が泣いた!! 間違いない。

The whole country must have cried!! No doubt about that.

2月のデビューシングル、「シンクロときめき」の時も、発売初日に1位ということで、歓喜に沸きました。

Of course, when the debut single on February “Synchro Tokimeki” got 1st place on the first-day sales, we were joyfully excited.

が、今回はもっと特別な感じです。

But, it is a lot more special this time.

やっぱり、ウィークリーで1位というのは、格別ですね。

After all, 1st place in Weekly Chart is exceptional, right?

3rdシングルのリリースが決まってから、怒涛のスケジュールを縫って、限られた時間の中、

After the release of the 3rd single was decided, we sewed up the strict schedule, and within a limited time,

1stよりも、2ndよりも、もっといいものを、今まで以上に、最高の作品を、皆さんに提供できるよう、頑張ったつもりです。

we had done our best to provide everyone the best product ever, which is better than the 1st and 2nd single.

そんな心のこもった作品をたくさんの人に、届けられたことは、本当に嬉しく思います!!

That’s why we are very happy that such a heartfelt product can be delivered to a lot of people.

引き続き、まゆ選手の応援、みなさまよろしくお願いいたします!!!

Everyone, please keep supporting Mayu-senshu!!!

まだまだ、まゆ選手が表紙を飾る雑誌も、これから発売されるので、チェックしてちょーーーだい。

There will still be a lot of magazines which will feature Mayu-senshu on the cover page that will be released from now on, please check i—-t.

ということで、この度は、先日発売になった「KERA」の撮影時のまゆ選手の写真をどうぞ!!

So, now, please enjoy the picture of Mayu-senshu from the shooting of “KERA” which was released recently.

Setlist for the 1st two Mini-lives on 13th January:

Went hunting round 2ch for the setlist: http://awabi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/akb/1357949256/491-495 (http://awabi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/akb/1357949256/491-495)

This is what I can make out... I might be wrong...

1. Hikaru Monotachi
2. Mayuyuroido
MC
3. Otona Jelly Beans
4. Koi o fun jatta
Some radio thing/costumes??
5. Sayonara no Hashi
6. 2-ri no Yoake
7. Koyubi no Hohoemi
Encore
8. Synchro Tokimeki

For her second event today (which were the "doki doki" events, not a mini-live), the 5 out 10 planned  (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=33943.msg1119494#msg1119494)special event things were cancelled due to bad weather. Basically everything after 15:45 was cancelled due to snow.

Here's hoping everything will be fine for her 3rd event  :jphip:
