I couldn’t swim at all, but at this shooting, I was hooked on swimming
Well then, since the photo book “The last uniform” will soon be released, please tell us your impressions of the shooting.
M (Mayu): It was very interesting, and it ended in no time! At first I thought it was going to be very harsh since the numbers of shooting days were a lot, but all the days were very interesting, and they ended very quickly.
You wear a lot of uniforms, and so I thought it was fine, but you were at high tension throughout the shooting, right?
M: Since it was fun, and all the photos were nicely taken.
In this photo book there will not only be the normally formal Mayuyu but also many kinds of Mayuyus.
M:I don’t show my expressions much normally, and I was able to do a lot of movements so I was happy.
You said that it was kinda good to do a little bit of weird faces before the monitor while shooting.
M: Yes (laughs). I think it’s good to have many expressions.
To Mayuyu-san who had discovered that, what are your highlights about this photo book?
M: Uh~m, there are a lot, but if you want only one then it’s the vibrancy of the photos! So vibrant that it looks like I would jump out of the photos. I think everyone will become happier by reading this.
This maybe rude, but normally I don’t see any images of Mayuyu being vibrant…
M: There aren’t (laughs). But it’s because I don’t have that kind of image normally that this is a fresh photo book!
If there are any best moments throughout the shooting, please tell us.
M: I wore the club’s uniforms and tried to do many sports, but I was scared of swimming… I was like a hammer and couldn’t swim at all before. Even if I could, I could only swim for 2 meters by kicking my feet.
I was also worried if the shooting would ended successfully.
M: Just by thinking that I can swim, I did it!
In reality, you really have excellent reflexes, don’t you?
M: I wonder about that? But I was hooked on swimming. Maybe I want to go swimming again.

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.”
