melyangelique's review of the LOD and gifs!

I just watched her seitansai!!! It was amazing :cute: I literally cried too when she was crying. Seeing her cry like that is so rare. :cute: I'm so proud of her~ This is definitely a must-watch to all Mayu fans! [rock]

I've made some gifs on my tumblr

This is one of my faves :blush:

Smack found the following:

Karen posted on Google+ about Mayuyu seitansai

Mayu-san, omedetou gozaimasu ＼(^o^)／

Tears from mum’s letter

It was a beautiful seitansai ☆

I come to respect Mayu-san so much

With her always hectic schedule you’d expect how hard it is for her, but until this day I never heard words like [I’m worn-outー] or [No moreー] coming from her mouth, not even once

Together in the same seiyuu senbatsu, given many chance to sing beside Mayu-san, of course it was so nerve-racking at first. But after putting things together, I realize how much I received Mayu-san’s kindness

Of course we also had funny moments together at backstage (laugh)

I like Mayu-san more and more +*.°

From now on yoroshiku onegaishimasu！

Mayu-san daisukiーーー♡

Mely translated the letter from Mayu's mum read out at her birthday show:

Dear Mayu,

Congratulations on turning 19! I still can’t believe that you’re already 19 years old. Even now, Okaa-san still thinks it’s strange every time I see Mayu on TV and magazines.

Since you were young,you were spoiled and shy, you couldn’t be separated from Okaa-san, right? You worry a lot, you’re scared of thunder and earthquakes, and every morning on your way to school, you’d ask “Nothing will come, right?” then you’d go to school.

That’s why when you said “I want to audition for AKB!” I was really surprised! Until then, you’ve never learned how to dance, and you didn’t really listen to music, your body was weak, and you’d sometimes get bronchitis fits, so I was against it, but every morning when we faced each other, you kept saying “I want to be in AKB!” and your enthusiasm made me approve of it.

But reality is harsh, so you failed the first time, right? Deep down, Okaa-san was relieved! I thought you were going to give up, but when the 3rd generation applications started, you kept saying “I wanna be in AKB!”, once again when I lost to your enthusiasm, you splendidly passed. Okaa-san was happy but I was also filled with worry, honestly I was perplexed.

But when the lessons started, you did your best without complaining, right?

When you were finally going to have your theater debut, I’ve been informed that you had leg pains.The next day, we went to the hospital, and the when they examined you, you were diagnosed with a fatigue bone fracture. From that day, you had to rest from performances, and you cried a lot, right? I think that time was really painful.

But now, you’ve trained a lot and is now healthy.You got stronger mentally, and your personality has gotten quite brighter.Even though you’ve come this far, I think you’re going to have to get over many walls, but without complaints, you’d always do your best.

Now, Okaa-san thinks that you entering AKB was a good thing.

I’m thankful for that you met and have been supported by all the members, fans and staff. From now on try your best without forgetting your original intention.

I will support you behind your back.

From Okaa-san

melyangelique translated that caption I think:

Alwaaays want to watch her

I thought Watanabe Mayu-san was like a doll that doesn't speak, but that impression changed when we became on the same team. Usually she's very quiet, but when you turn on her switch, she changes a lot. Her tension get so high especially when the conversation is about anime and Takarazuka. I want to know a lot more about Mayu-san <3

Jul3 told me that this is sorta like a car window* decal to get out the vote for Mayuyu.



*apparently there's a thingee to stick to the window/windscreen of a car?  I don't own a car so forgive any mistakes.

You can order WPB at cdjapan: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEOBK-1485075

But hurry as it often sells out pretty quickly!


Mayuyu t-shirts just went on sale (April 16th - JST) at http://www.7netshopping.jp/spc/fair/fair_corner/-/fair_cd/messagetshirt/crnr_cd/1

Here's a sample design (front and back):



FULL DISCLOSURE: I never ordered from 7netshopping before

Mayuyu just blogged about her birthday at http://blog.oricon.co.jp/watarirouka/archive/9633/0



It's a pretty lengthy blog post but hopefully a kind soul can translate for us?

EDIT - see below

If I may quote ithebigc about ordering from 7netshopping

For 7 Net, you will require a deputy service, like this one: http://www.fromjapan.co.jp?afid=K42791.

After you make an account, you click "Place an order (Shopping)" in the lower right area of screen (where all the other buttons, like Place bid (Auction) and Sniper bid (Auction) are), input the URL of the t-shirt you want, and you'll get a quote. The price is generally normal price x 1.05 + 200 yen, so in this case, the T-shirt will be 3000 yen x 1.05 = 3150 yen + 200 yen = 3350 yen. For fromjapan, you have one month to build up orders before you have to tell them to ship, so you can buy a lot of other Mayuyu items through auctions, like pictures, collect them for a month, and then when the time comes ship both the t-shirt and photos or whatever else you buy together to save on shipping. The referral link up there that's mine, gives you 300 yen back to use after your first order ships. I think they ship to all countries, so where you live isn't a problem.

That should be clear enough, but if anyone still doesn't get how to do it, I'd be glad to make a step by step guide or answer any other questions you might have.

Thanks for bringing this up, YKT! I never check the 7Net Shopping site, so I would've missed this if you didn't bring it to my attention. They're only selling from the 16th to the 24th, so it will be unobtainable normally after that period. Now, I just need to decide, black, or white?

こんにちは！まゆゆです！
Hello! Mayuyu’s here!
遅くなってしまいましたが、
Though it’s late to inform now,
4月9日はチームA公演にてわたくし渡辺麻友の
19歳の生誕祭を開いていただきました！
on Team A’s performance on April 9, I,
Watanabe Mayu’s seitansai was held!
お越し下さった皆様、
Everyone who had come,
オンデマンドでご覧になって下さった皆様、あ
りがとうございました！！
and everyone who had watched on ON
DEMAND, thank you very much!!
なんだか異常に緊張してしまって、公演中は
ずっとドキドキが止まりませんでした(>_<)
Somehow I became more nervous than
usual, so throughout the performance my
heart couldn’t stop beating so fast(>_<)

幕が開く前にステージでスタンバイしている時
に、この劇場でデビューした時の事をふと思い
出し、あの時と変わらず今も私はAKB48劇場
のステージに立てているんだ。その事を改めて
実感し、沢山の方々への感謝の気持ちを噛み締
めながら、恩返しの意味も込めて公演に挑みま
した。
When I was being ready on the stage before
the curtain opened, I suddenly remembered
the time I first debuted in this theater, I’m
also standing on AKB48’s theater the same
as that time. I realized that once again, and
while holding many grateful feelings towards
many people, I had performed.
ファンの皆さんが持っているペンライトがとっ
ても綺麗で、沢山の温かい声援に包まれて、本
当に幸せでした(^^)
The penlights that the fans were holding
were beautiful, and I was very happy being
wrapped with many warm cheers (^^)
アンコールの、
I’m also delighted with
“まゆゆコール”も本当に嬉しくて、、思わず涙
がこみ上げて来ました。
the encore’s “Mayuyu-core”…and without
noticing it, I shed my tears.
こんなに沢山の方達が、力一杯の声で私の名前
を呼んで下さっている。
So many people called out my name out
loud with all their strength.
こんなに幸せな事はありません。
I’ve never experienced anything so wonderful
like this before.

そして、生誕祭が始まると、
And, when my Seitansai began,
突然アナウンスが鳴り出して、、、
Suddenly there was an announcement…
何事かと焦っていると、上手袖からまりんちゃ
んが登場してくれました！
While I was wanting to know what was going
on impatiently, Marin-chan appeared from
the wings!
わざわざ駆けつけてくれてありがとう（ ｉ _
ｉ ）！
Thank you for rushing all the way over here
（ ｉ _ ｉ ）!
そして、私のお母さんからのお手紙を読んでく
れました。
And then, she read a letter from my mother.
私はお母さんの事が本当に大好きで、お母さん
ネタには弱いもので、、手紙の中の”お母さ
ん”という言葉を聞いただけで号泣してしまい
ました。
I really love my mother, and I don’t have so
much news about mother now…so only by
hearing the word “Mother” from the letter
was enough to make me cry.
人前で泣くのはあまり好きではなく、いつも涙
を自然と必死で耐えてしまうのですが、これば
かりは耐えられませんでした。。
I don’t like crying in front of people, and so
I’m always trying my best to endure my tears
naturally, but I couldn’t endure them with
this…
お母さん、本当にありがとう。
Mother, thank you very much.
温かくお祝いしてくれた、チームAのみんな、
ファンの皆様、本当にありがとうございまし
た！！
Thank you everyone from team A and the
fans for giving me a warm celebration!!
大好きです！
I love you!!

そして、ロビーに出てみると、スタンドフラ
ワーが凄まじい事に、！
And when I came to the lobby, the flower
stand was very wonderful!
す、すごい！！
S, so cool!!
宝塚っぽくて、物凄く高まりました。コン
ガッッ！
It looks Takarazuka-ish, and my spirit rose
incredibly. Conga!!
思わずお花の前で全力の花組ポーズ。
Without noticing, I did the Hanagumi’s pose
with all my best in front of the flower.
何より驚いたのが、
And what made me more surprised was,
お花の下の部分が取り外し可能で、なんと取り
出してみるとシャンシャンになっていたので
す！
The underneath part of the flower stand was
removable, so I took it out and it became
“Shanshan”!
“シャンシャン”とは、宝塚歌劇団さんのショー
のフィナーレで出演者の皆様が手にしていらっ
しゃる小道具の事です。
“Shanshan” are small tools which performers
have in their hand at the finale of the show
of Takarazuka Revue-san.
私だけのオリジナルシャンシャン、、幸せ過ぎ
ます！
My only original Shanshan…I’m so happy!!
家宝にさせていただきます＼(^o^)／
I’ll make it my heirloom＼(^o^)／
沢山の温かい愛をいただけて、素晴らしい生誕
祭になりました。
Only by receiving a lot of warm loves, it has
become a great seitansai.
本当に本当に、ありがとうございました！！
Thank you very very much!!
これからも、皆さんと楽しい日々を過ごしてゆ
けるよう、頑張ってまいります。
I’ll also do my best from now on so that
everyone can spend their days happily.
19歳の渡辺麻友も、宜しくお願いします！！
Please support the 19-year-old Watanabe
Mayu, too!!
まゆゆより

Ah, I made a mistake when I translated Mayu's blog.
The line:

私はお母さんの事が本当に大好きで、お母さん
ネタには弱いもので、、手紙の中の”お母さ
ん”という言葉を聞いただけで号泣してしまい
ました。

should be

I really love my mother, and I'm very weak when talking about mother…so only by
hearing the word “Mother” from the letter
was enough to make me cry.

Sorry for my mistake m(_ _)m
