Quote from: Ruki
Some article about Mayu interview: http://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/20140612/akb14061205050001-n3.html

Some translation of the article, after Sousenkyo AkiP mailed Mayuyu:
AkiP : "Finally you have stand at the top. Since Mayu have worked hard, so it's as a matter of course."
Then about the 37th single:
Mayuyu: I wonder what kind of song (that I will center) will be. I have faith on Akimoto-Sensei, so i'll leave everything to him."

Just want to translate the whole letter again :P
ファンの皆さんへ
To fans
何度皆さんの温かい言葉・応援に救われた事でしょう。
I wonder how many times I have been saved by your warm words and support.
どんなに辛い時もくじけてしまいそうな時も
Even though there are times of hardship or whenever I’m discouraged
皆さんの応援があったから私は
It’s all thanks to everyone’s support
ここまでやってくる事が出来ました。
That I can make it this far until now.
去年の総選挙で私が1位をとれなかった時、
When I was not able to get 1st place at the general election last year,
皆さんは「1位にしてあげられなくてごめんね」と
Everyone told me
言ってくださいました。
"Sorry that we couldn’t make you 1st".
むしろ、がんばりが足りなかった私のせいなのだから、
Rather, I think it was my fault that I did not try hard enough,
皆さんは謝る必要もないし・・・
There was no need for everyone to apologize…

でも、その言葉を聞いて、もっと頑張ろうという気持ちに
なりましたし、来年こそは絶対に1位をとるんだ!
But, hearing those words made me want to try even harder, and the strong feeling of
という今まで以上にアツい気持ちが芽生えました。
"I’ll definitely get 1st place next year!" grew stronger than before.
この一年、皆さんとともに、ただひたすらに走り続けて、前を向いて、
For this whole year, along with everyone, I keep running earnestly and advancing forward,
そしてこうして選抜総選挙で念願の第一位
をとることができて・・・
And now that I am able to get the long-cherished 1st place at the general election…

私は本当に幸せな気持ちでいっぱいです。
I’m really filled with joy.
これからも私と一緒に明るい未来へと歩んでいきましょう。
From now on, please continue to walk with me to a bright future.

皆さん、今回は沢山の応援を本当に有り難うございました!!
Everyone, thank you very much for lots of support this time!!
渡辺麻友より。
From Watanabe Mayu."

Yukirin posted this MaYuki picture in her G+:

She's asking Mayuyu to go Yakiniku with her :blush:

Edit:
Mariko-sama talked about Mayuyu getting 1st place in interview today:
Mariko-sama: To me Mayu had the image of (my) junior, but suddenly I see her as a senior - she becomes a reassuring presence. On the election day I messaged her and then the next day we also met. She looked sparkling, more shining than usual. I told Mayu this and she was happy, saying "I'll do my best!".

"AKB48 Senbatsu Sousenkyo: Fat Wota and Chinese Votes

"Kobayashi Yoshinori is a mangaka who is an open AKB48 fan, and frequently engages in a more academic study of AKB48 and its fans. Here he talks about the (false) equivalence of votes and popularity, which the Japanese mainstream media has been speaking about.

Quote
On a Sunday morning television, they were talking about how many of the votes cast for Mayuyu in the Senbatsu Sousenkyo (SSK from here on) were cast by Chinese fans, and if we take those out of the equation, Sashihara would be #1.

Sports-related newspapers reported the same thing about the Chinese votes as well.

Ridiculous.

When you consider the truth of the SSK, it’s illogical right from the start.

It has never been a democracy where one person votes once.

If you’re excluding votes from overseas, then you should also be excluding votes from all the fat wota in Japan itself.

One person spending 1 million, 2 million, no, 10 million. They even employ part-timers to cast their votes, these fat wota.

The AKB48 SSK borders on the absurd, an election where old, rich men cast votes to elevate their members into the top ranks.

Those votes .. sure they might be their form of love, but it’s not real popularity!

If we’re talking about real popularity, this will only happen with a system of one person per vote.

If that is the case, then we can consider this - the ‘Mayuyu’ call from the audience in the stadium, the moment she was determined to be #1 - to be the ultimate evidence of popular will.

As a test, they should do a vote with one person casting one vote. Because Mayuyu will be #1, anyway.

For anyone that says NMB is pitiable, this is really because they lack the fat wota contingent.

For those members that did not make it in the ranks, if it’s a proper election there will definitely be girls that do make it in in the end.

The SSK is an illusion created from the power of money, so there is no need for the unranked girls to be discouraged.

If the fat wota disappear, your rank falls, if they notice you, your rank goes up.

That is the AKB SSK.

That’s why I’ve never seen the point of making predictions. I prefer the ‘Janken’ senbatsu, and the Akimoto Yasushi senbatsu is the real one, according to the Theory of AKB48.

The AKB SSK should be enjoyed the same way one enjoys Pro Wrestling.

It’s not a reflection of the truth.

In any case, Mayuyu’s immense popularity in Taiwan, and Singapore coupled with the fact that she has enough power to establish a Greater East-Asia Idol Co-Prosperity Sphere. This is amazing!"
