Congratulations Mayuyu

I think that Mayuyu being second was the biggest shock in the whole election
when they said 3rd place I was sooo sure that it's Mayuyu and I was as shocked like her when they announced Yuki
but she deserved it .. at first I really didn't like her and I wondered why she has so many fans
but after going through her pictures and seeing her yesterday, it showed me what's so special about her

and isn't she just the cutest thing

The most +1 moment was when Mayu had her speech during the Sousenkyou :awesome: :awesome:

Even higher than Yuko's :awesome:

My friend summarized a report from http://www.excite.co.jp/News/it_g/20120607/Cobs_in_201206_akb--.html

Quote

Fact: there are many AKB48 fans in China and a popular site/service is called weibo.

On the election day (June 6, 2012), there were 900,000 weibo posts on the elections!

They also conducted a AKB48 election and Mayuyu was ranked the 1st place in that election! See list at http://www.excite.co.jp/News/it_g/20120607/Cobs_in_201206_akb--.html

Japan’s AKB48, a girl pop group whose lineup is chosen by fans, set to go global
More than 60 young women split into four teams - and now branching out internationally, too

Members of Japan's most popular girl group AKB48 perform during a special event in Tokyo in September.

TOKYO — AKB48 is not exactly a band. It’s an army of girls-next-door, ranked by its fans, and after taking Japan by storm it’s getting ready to go global.

More than 60 girls and young women, split into four teams, make up what is arguably Japan’s most popular pop group. It performs almost every day, has spawned affiliate groups across the country and has recently given rise to sister mega-groups in China, Taiwan and Indonesia.

AKB48’s big event is an annual vote — by almost 1.4 million fans this year — to determine who gets to record their next single, which inevitably becomes a hit. AKB48 raked in more than $200 million in CD sales last year alone.

As you rightly noted, Mayuyu came in 2nd (out of 237 girls who participated).

Mayuyu Music fair

^ Mayuyu must have been really overjoyed to sing with the great anime seiyuu Mizuki Nana!

I'm so proud of Mayuyu as she managed to hold her own next to powerhouse Nana! Her voice definitely isn't as strong as Nana's but she demonstrated great control and her voice sounds good with Nana's deeper voice. Our girl is really improving with each live performance. I especially love it when she used her low voice at 1:35!

Folks on 2ch liked Mayuyu's performance according to akb48wrapup

So did Cindy!

Mayuyu is singing in (music TV show) Music fair(^^)

This is the song she had been practicing when we were in transit in between work(^^)

She is trying her best to sing this song.

When I was looking at Mayuyu, diligently preparing for the stage despite not getting enough sleep,
I was somehow so surprised that I was laughing next to her.
And I said, "You've grown so much...lol"
