[2012.02.29] Mayu Watanabe - 1st Single "Synchro Tokimeki"

[jafeijai]

Didn't know Mayu's a Takarazuka fan now. Shawako x Mayu collab sometime in the future?

Sidenote: Anyone else notice Mayu kind of had a different intonation around 4:52? I forget where she's from, but it makes me wonder if she normally speaks in a different dialect..

Edit: Also, megane Kaitou-ana is so cute :3

^Yes she's been spazzing about Takarazuka on her blog for months.  She went to the Takarazuka Grand Theater with her sis recently to see a show.

The mini internet live stream was epic!



She seemed nervous at first, but she got into her mode when she started performing.

Everything was in the office, which was a bit weird  A lot of Mayu billboards and posters and the staff cheering her on, lol.

Mayu's live vocals sounded surprisingly good! She performed Synchro Tokimeki and Mayuyuloid. The latter was a lot of fun too. She really seemed to be enjoying herself.



There were well over 7000 viewers 

They announced Mayu got the daily #1 and she was just over the moon with joy. And so are we.

Heard about that news from Mayuyu herself in her livestream. Congratulations my love! You're our number 1 also

Never expected that she'd perform in the Sony Music Office It was really epic, especially her live voice. IMO it got better. And I was singing along in Mayuyuloid like Mayu Mayu Mayuyu~.  But really, words can't explain how awesome it was.

Arghhhh, Dad and brother in Japan only got me Regular Edition Oh well, it's better than nothing

CONGRATS MAYUYU!!! As what CtrlZee said, you are always our number 1! I'm sooo happy for you!

Mayuyu's hard work has paid off. She's got amazing support from the fans, staff, management and other people in the industry. Her appeal is so great that I find my appreciation for her growing rapidly each day. She really is the perfect idol and knows how to conduct herself. Just look at how well-liked she is by the Sony Music staff! Our cyborg girl is definitely growing up and she has a wonderfully bright future ahead of her!

And I'm so impressed with her live singing at the Sony Music office. She may not have the strongest vocals and widest range around but she is certainly improving by leaps and bounds. It just goes to show that she knows what she wants and works darn hard for it. The live performance of Mayuyuloid is so awesome! It makes me appreciate the song so much more now. Her original voice already has the CG quality and is able to bring out the essence of Mayuyuloid without the autotuning in the studio recording.

Lastly, the organisers of this live are simply adorable. The army of Mayuyu standees outside the elevator is a lovely and humorous touch. I couldn't help but smile at how overwhelmed Mayuyu was by them.

Go Mayuyu! You are the ultimate idol!!
