There's also the NHK programme that Mayu, Jurina, Takamina appeared on. Seems like it's a serious talk. There's something about being center and stuffs. The guy is the director of So Long! PV.

^ Just to add some info on what Mayuyu and the other girls were doing there

From TGSK's G+ today:

AKB members will be the station managers in Sanriku Railway Miyako Station for the entire day today!! Everyone is very enthusiastic.
There will be commemorative life-size cardboard cutouts in the station, so if ever you are able to pass by, you can take a photo for souvenir.

Darn. I would love to take some pictures with those cutouts.

DISCUSSION RIGHT BEFORE THE AKB48 ELECTION STARTS!!

Someone might get knocked down at the election!

This week is finally the release of AKB48's latest single “Sayonara Crawl”. This is an interview to commemorate it. They are both close that they made an unofficial unit called “Oshiri Sisters”
Watanabe: Oshiri~ (does a W sign with Oshima with their hands)
-By the way, this oshiri mark was created during Shukan Playboy's Gravure.
Oshima: Uh-huh, it was from then! Nostalgic!
- During a photoshoot, wearing short pants and a t-shirt and while playing with a big jump rope, Kashiwagi-san sat somewhere weird and her butt got all dirty. It all started when you made fun of it.
Oshima: So fast~
- Finally, the Nissan Stadium live, which has capacity 70,000 people, and the election will be held!
Oshima: Moreover, after the live is the election.
-Don't you always do mini-lives before the election? But every year everyone's faces look nervous and stiff. What is everyone going to do?
Oshima: But conversely, we might be able to relax. The nervousness won't go away with a little singing, but if we do the live, our bodies will let loose. When we sit on our seats during the elections, won't there be members who'll fall asleep from being tired? (lol)
Watanabe: That might happen! As for me, I fall asleep in a instant! It's embarrassing if the camera catches it!
-And there are might also be people who use up their physical strength during the live!
Oshima: That's possible! Even under normal circumstances, we fall into our nervousness. And also the live's fatigue! When the members' names are called, they're going to come out all unsteady and helped by the staff.
- It's like the person who got #2 during the first election.
Oshima: It's me! (lol). Like coming out from the side “Everyone, thank you so much (trembling voice)”
Watanabe: In addition to that, if it rains it's going to be outrageous. But if it rains, conversely, the feeling might be whatever happens, happens! Like “it rained this much so let's have fun!”
Oshima: Maybe this year's election is going to be troublesome! Absolutely!

The next generation's face has changed!
-Well then, in AKB48's documentary which went public this year, when last year's election finished, the backstage scenes were shot. At that time Oshima-san said “Become stronger” and “Use me as your stepping stone” to Watanabe-san. What about it? It has been one year since then.
Watanabe: That's right. Yes. I think she became a stepping stone.
-She was able to?
Oshima: Yes. I think I have. I also think that I became a stepping stone this year.
Watanabe: This year passed while keeping that in mind.
-Ohhh! But it's not only Watanabe-san, I felt that the AKB48 group lately has really grown.
Oshima: Is that so? But, I also feel that way. Recently, the sister teams each have had their own Budoukan lives!
Watanabe: Ahh! That's right.
Oshima: The girls who are called the next generation have also grown. Just before that, the girls who I thought “Is this person alright?” have completely changed their expressions and their point of view in regards to the stage.
Watanabe: Also, the sister group's fighting spirit is amazing. I watched NMB48 solo live. I've been interested since before. As expected they were really interesting, cute, more than anything lively, and shining....I got motivated. As a group, they were amazing.
Oshima: Actually, the AKB48 solo live was the hardest, more so than the last day's all-groups live.
SKE48, NMB48, HKT48 did it, so at the end we felt responsibility over closing it off.
Watanabe: There was that. There were also thoughts that people will think “As expected of AKB48!”
Oshima: But, I don't know if anyone thought that way.
-But, personally I thought it was amazing during AKB48's solo live, every member's faces were full of confidence. I felt the “We are AKB48!” aura.
Oshima: That makes me happy! On that day, rather than thinking “what atmosphere should we make” and “let's dance like this”, we felt more like “right now, we should make a live with the members next to us!”
Watanabe: No matter which way you look at it we were glad as AKB48.
Oshima: Honestly, there were also those that thought “NMB's dancing is better” and “You lose to SKE's uniform dancing and powerfulness.” That's why, I'm glad that everyone in AKB made a stage by being self aware, concentrated, and by showing their individuality. I'm really glad that we had a performance in Budoukan before the election. That is, our and the sister group's members.
-Iyaa, amazing! Well then, lastly, your enthusiasm towards the election and the rank you aim for!
Watanabe: The rank I aim for is like I said last year, #1. During handshake events and others, fans enthusiastically tell me “This year you'll definitely get it”, which encourage me and make me think to try even harder. I want to try my best with all my fans to each #1!
Oshima: I am fine with whatever rank I get this year. I just want to enjoy myself.
-By the way, speaking of Oshima-san, every year after the election, you create a wise saying during your speech. What kind of wise saying you will make this year?
Oshima: Yeahhh, that's right. I really want to enjoy myself so I want to show that feeling.
Watanabe: Ehhhh! (lol) But it looks like it's going to be exciting! Like a festival!

Today's Team A performance!
 


New translation, by Clubhappy

The pressure of the Center that I didn’t know until now.

Suddenly felt panic in the stage wing at the Record Awards. She was almost crying from the pressure.

The greatest highlight of last year’s general election is, of course, when Mayuyu came in 2nd place. Just before that, after Shinoda Mariko’s stimulating speech towards the kouhai members “Come at us with the intention to crush us”, even Mayuyu herself, who is the leading member of the next generation, did not expect that she would obtain 2nd place. And after she went on the stage, with a different character than the lovely one she usually has, she strongly declared “I think that from now on, the younger generation like us must open a new path” “If there will be a general election next year, I want to take the 1st place”.

“I instantly came up with that comment after hearing Shinoda-san’s words. I’d been thinking that I still have a long way to the 1st place, but I got 2nd place, I finally made the way to the top. In this one year, I’ve been running towards the goal of being in the 1st place in election, so this year I’ll definitely make good on my words!”

Then, after Maeda Atsuko’s graduation on August last year, Mayuyu has always been the group’s center as the leading role of AKB48’s 2nd chapter. The greatest crisis then came to her, the awarding ceremony of the Japan Record Award held at the end of last year. Continue with the year before, AKB48 shines for the 2nd time at the seat of the grand prize. And the one who stood as the center in place of Maeda Atsuko for the winning song of the year before “Flying Get” and the winning song of that time “Manatsu no Sounds Good!” was, Mayuyu.

“It was a fearful pressure until the grand prize was announced. In the stage wing I suddenly looked like I was almost crying with a chaos in my head to the level that it was incomprehensible. About 10 seconds before going to the stage, I couldn’t consult to anyone. It was the first time ever in my life that my body became such a state on its own. I was thinking ‘Not good, I will collapse if I move for even 1 millimeter!’ but somehow I managed to perform after the song had started. But when the grand prize was decided, I was definitely overflown with tears. In fact after the ceremony, Takamina said in front of everyone “Mayuyu has tried her best while being in a lot of pressures”, and then I cried even more.”

To serve in the center position on the big stage. Also, to connect her own performance with the group’s public estimation like that, she has strongly felt that, and she held such sense of responsibility all alone, it was such a day.

“As for the singles, I’ve been given the center position after “So long!”, but sometimes I still feel scared. When I see the bare view with no one around in front of my eyes, I can feel that ‘I’m in the center position now’. Maeda-san had continued standing in that position for many years and had been performing without trembling, so once again I feel that she was really amazing and I admire her. Even for the CD’s selling amount, I always have the pressure that I don’t know what to do if it’s my fault that the Million Sales record is interrupted.”

The heavy responsibility of the Center that even Mayuyu, who has been looking at Maeda Atsuko, didn’t know. Mayuyu is surely making her progress while living the everyday life that almost no one has experienced.

“Every day is interesting even though there are pressures. I know that there are people who deny me, but that doesn’t bother me much. Because I know that it’s definitely better that they care about me than they don’t say a thing. That’s why I especially enjoy everything.”

Team A is the forefront in all the 48 groups. We need to lead them.

She is still 19 years old. As for the age, she is not any different with Shimazaki Haruka and the others, but for Mayuyu who joined the group when she was 12, almost every member in team A now is her kouhai. Even her who shows a distinguished stability, acted a bit abnormal in front of the kouhai like she wants to say that “I can’t talk to the kouhai girls… Because I’m a timid person!”

Only, she knows well the reason of her being transferred to team A from team B, in which was said to be the “youngest team”, on the reshuffle announcement on August last year, held after Maeda Atsuko’s graduation.

“In team A, there are lots of other girls who are being said to be the hot issues for the next generation, so I think that I need to stand up in the center of those girls and create a new team A. Furthermore, team A was the firstly created group within AKB. We need to always run at the forefront and lead them.”

Not only the part she shows at the general election or on the media, but also as the person who will lead about 300 members joined the 48 group, Mayuyu continues to run. So, what is the new AKB48 that she imagines?

“An orthodox group who will not be ashamed of the name ‘National Idol’. Now, we are being introduced with the word ‘National’, but I think we are still far from an ideal one.  I want them to know more other than the senbatsu members, and I want not only young people but also the elderly men and women to support us. For example, let me see… like a ‘Great man’, I want to become an existence that everyone will know about. Our aim is to become like, Oda Nobunaga!”

- Once again I admire Mayuyu
