The long-awaited 4th single “Rappa Renshuuchuu” will be release on July 10! As the title contains the word “Rappa” (trumpet), the song this time features the brass sound.
Mayu: Yeah! There are also onomatopoeias of the trumpet like “♪Parappa Parapa” put in the lyrics. The song is from the point of view of a boy, and it’s comparing the beating of his chest when he fell in love to the sound of the trumpet. My 3rd single “Hikarumonotachi’ has an inorganic image, but the song this time is a summer-like lovely pop song!
Furthermore, you collaborated with the all-girl brass rock band “OreSka Band”!
Mayu: We also shot the MV together, but I’ve always been “alone” in my solo work, so I felt like I’ve made some friends (laughs). We were able to have an exciting time like “Wa―!” with only girls, so it was really interesting!
What is the content of the MV?
Mayu: People from a lot of eras use the trumpet of their own era to perform and compete with each other, from Primitive men to medieval people, until modern people, that’s the content. With that storyline, the outfits are also very girlish.
And this song is also decided to be the tie-up song for the real escape game “Save Mayuyu from the prison amusement part!!! in Tokyo Dome City Attractions” which starts from July 27!
Mayu: It’s so amazing that a game is made with my name in it. When I heard the talk about this, I was like “To think something like would actually happen in reality!”, I couldn’t believe it. Furthermore, the summer vacation period is the time when the kids will gather the most in a year! I’m so extremely happy.
The content of the attraction is in order to save the legendary magical girl – Mayuyu from the prison amusement park, the participant has to solve the mysteries while moving on. For Mayuyu, what kind of image do you have about magical girls?
Mayu: It’s like the song “Niji iro Kuma Kuma” which Ranka-chan sang in the anime movie “Gekijouban Macross Frontier”! …..and HEY, I’m too enthusiastic with this song like a maniac, huh? But for me, magical girl is like Ranka-chan or “Magical DoReMi” or “Creamy Mami”, all has this “The girl transforms into a cute one” kind of image. Every girl must once dream that “I want to become a magical girl!”, so to put me into that “Magical girl frame” is so dreadful (laughs).
No no, there’s no one that’s so suitable with that role like you! Then, if Mayuyu turned into a magical girl, what would you do?
Mayu: Uh~m… I want to control time! For example, you have some very interesting times that you think “I don’t want this time to end!”, right? I would cast a spell “Time, stop now!” on times like that. Though everyone except me would also be stopped with time, so I would be the only one who can enjoy the time (laughs).
Then lastly, what do you want to challenge in private in this summer?
Mayu: This year is my teenage years’ last summer. That’s why I want to go to the mountains, the rivers and the beaches which I didn’t go much before and enjoy actively! I want to go with all members in my family. I love my family!!
