[東北東へ/To The East-northeast]

大島優子アメーバブログ原文

Yesterday Shiriri aka Mayu-chan
In all seriousness went and bought ehomaki
She ate it in the dressing room
Finishing it as a challenge(*^^*)

Carefully checking the lucky direction with a compass,
She turned to the east-northeast

Read the instruction on how to eat it

And started to eat!!

As cutting it would be cutting off fate
The ehomaki was not to be cut

Thinking of one’s wish, eating silently and without a word

Unexpectedly strict↑↑

And of course, we were all cheering her on Laughs

Along the way, though the going was tough、、、Laughs

She managed to eat it all up!!

For Mayu Shiriri
This year seems to be a year of good fortuneo(^_^)o

If it’s going to be a good year for Shiriri
It’s a good year for AKB too(*^◯^*)

News report on the event plus interview:

Yuko was so cute in that video!

Tokyohive translated a bit of the natalie article:

Quote

To the fans, she expressed, "After I graduate, I want to continue being involved with the members and fans, so this isn't the end. Even though our relationship may diminish, our bonds are forever. Please continue to support me. Today, I will shake hands with those feelings." She continued, "Going to various cities like this and being able to communicate with everyone by shaking hands. I've always shook hands believing that our hearts will become connected. Being able to meet everyone at the handshake events was an irreplaceable time for me."

I know she's moving onwards and aiming upwards (and will still be in the limelight), but this still makes me a little sad. Fukuoka, eh? If I'd but known.

Popular idol group, AKB48's representative song 'Heavy Rotation' (released in August 2010)'s Music Video, became the first Japanese music artist to overcome the 100 million views hurdle on video sharing site 'YouTube' slightly over noon on the 23rd. The Center for this song, Oshima Yuko remarks, “What should I say”.

Hebirote is the first song Oshima Yuko centered, after defeating then immovable ace, Maeda Atsuko during the 2nd General Elections; It is AKB48’s 17th single that was released on 18th of August 2010. Movie Director, Ninagawa Mika was in charge of photography and the Music Video’s direction. How members appeared in bewitching lingeries during the shoot was also a topic of discussion.

This MV that was uploaded on the group’s official YouTube channel on 8th of September 2010, took about 3 and a half year to record this feat. After NHK’s Kouhaku Uta Gassen held on New Year’s Eve last year, where Oshima announced her graduation from the group, views took a sharp rise, and managed to achieve this milestone before her graduation.

Oshima who achieved this feat remarked, “What should I say about this. In my entire life, I had never expected to be associated with the number, 100 million. How views were accumulated one by one till 100 million, makes Heavy Rotation’s shine even brighter. I am extremely happy. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the people that have played back this MV repeatedly. Thank you so much everybody.”

AKB48’s management that also runs their YouTube channel commented on their Google+ page saying, “Japan’s First”. As no Japanese Artist’s official MV had achieve this 100 million views milestone before, that makes this achievement all the more remarkable.

Hooray~! We finally did it!

I'm so glad Yuko's happy about this.

Yukoooo~~~ Good luck!!! Happy graduation!!!
