You may think they are bored, but I think different. I think the reason Mayuyu is on many newspapers' headlines now not just because she participates this election, but she is also THE FIRST MEMBER from AKB to submit her registration. That means that she is really into the election this year, and she really wants to aim for the 1st place. that is also why most of the news' headlines said ”気合”の第一号立候補 - 気合を入れるため初日に来た (The first "spirited" candidacy - She came [to submit the registration] on the first day to put more spirit into it/motivate herself more).
that is what I think though Anyway, I'll vote for Mayu too!!!
Hi clubhappy! I'm really glad to see you here! We've been sharing your tumblr translations for quite some time and I've always wondered when you will make an actual post here. Do drop by more often!
And don't worry, I'm sure Jul3 didn't mean it when he said "bored journalists". He just said that in response to jester48's earlier comment; hence the quotation marks.
Laughing Out Loud.. they must be really bored.. it should have been painfully obvious she would be in the elections.
Great to know there is one more person voting for Mayuyu. Let's help her realise her goal!
