[Jul3]

^ Thanks for the picture of the set!

Mayu with the Hachioji P DJ guy from today's show, as tweeted by that DJ guy: https://twitter.com/8_Prince/status/374167033392291840



Mayu's hair and outfit look so good! 

Here's another pic of one of the autographed balls:

Arisa Fujisawa played the piano (or just keyboards?) and sang live for two of the songs today.

She blogged about it: http://ameblo.jp/ars-11/entry-11604741364.html

And posted this pic of her dressing room door:



She's also been tweeting to that Hachioji P DJ pictured in the post above, follow the conversation from https://twitter.com/ARISA_KEY1027/status/374174333913948160

Arisa Fujisawa played the piano (or just keyboards?) and sang live for two of the songs today.

Think this is a photo of Mayuyu and Arisa Fujisawa I found on Baidu?




Think this a fan made artwork for Mayu Watanabe - 4th Single "Rappa Renshuuchuu" live events in Nagoya.



I don't think it's official, but what a great effort!

Mayu’sレストラン名古屋店
Mayu’s Restauran in Nagoya

こんばんは！
Good evening!

まゆゆです！
Mayuyu’s here!

本日は、愛知県の稲沢市民会館にて
Today, at Inazawa Shimin Kaikan (civic center) in Aichi Prefecture

「ラッパ練習中」発売記念ソロライブ
"Rappa Renshuuchuu" ‘s release commemorative solo live

～Mayu’sレストラン 全曲フルコースを召し上がれ～
~Enjoy the All-song Full Course at Mayu’s Restaurant~

が行われました♪
was held♪

見事当選されてご来場下さった皆さん、ありがとうございました！！
Everyone who was chosen as lucky winners and came, thank you very much!!

楽しかった！！！！です！
It was! interesting!!!!

最初は、久々のソロライブという事でその緊張と、初披露曲がいくつかあったのでそれらがちゃんとできるかという不安があって本番前にドキドキし過ぎて大変な事になってしまっていたのですが、いざライブが始まってステージに上がったら皆さんの笑顔が見えた瞬間に一気に気持ちが落ち着きました(^^)
At first, my tension as this is my solo live after a long time, and there were songs that would be performed for the first time, so I was worried if I could perform all of them well. Before the performance, I got so nervous and it became a serious matter. But when the live began and I came on stage, I calmed down instantly when I could see everyone’s smiles(^^)

やっぱり、私はみんなの笑顔が大好きだと改めて実感しました！
Once again I realized that I love everyone’s smiles, after all!

タイトルにもあるように、Mayu’sレストランという事でステージのセットもレストランをモチーフにしたとっても可愛いセットでした！
Mayu’s Restaurant, as written in the title, so the setting for the stage was also in the theme of a restaurant and it was a cute set!

そして、なんとオープニングではレストランのウェイトレスさんをモチーフにして作っていただいた新衣装を着ました！
Also, for the opening I wore the new outfits which was designed in the theme of a restaurant’s waitress!

この新衣装が、とにかく！ほんっっとうに可愛いのです(*^◯^*)早く見てほいなぁ～
This new outfits, anyway! is reallllly cute(*^◯^*)I want everyone to see it fast~

でも、まだ埼玉公演が残っているので写真は載せない事にします(￣▽￣)お楽しみに♪
But, there’s still a live at Saitama, so I decided not to put the photos up here(￣▽￣)Please look forward to it♪

そして、本日はスペシャルゲストの方がお二人いらっしゃって下さいました！
And, there were two special guests came today!

前回のシングル「ヒカルものたち」のアレンジを担当して下さった、八王子Pさん！
HajiojiP-san who was in charge of the arrangement for my previous single “Hikarumonotachi”!

そして、以前のソロライブでもキーボードを演奏していただいた、ARISAさん！
And ARISA-san who played the keyboard at my solo lives before!

私のお着替えタイムでは、八王子Pさんの素敵なDJタイムで会場も大盛り上がりでしたー！
During the time when I was changing clothes, the whole venue got very excited by HajiojiP-san’s wonderful DJ time~!

ARISAさんの素晴らしい演奏に乗せてのバラードも、かなり緊張しましたが皆さんのペンライトの光がとっても綺麗でリラックスして歌えました♪
The balad songs which I performed along with ARISA-san’s wonderful performance, I was quite nervous at that part but the light from everyone’s penlights was very beautiful so I was able to relax and sing♪

そして、中盤曲では
And then, for the middle songs

ピンクのお花柄の可愛い浴衣を着て歌わせていただきました！
I sang wearing a cute pink floral design yukata!

今年の夏は、あまり夏らしい事ができなかったので、、、少し遅くなっちゃったけど夏を満喫できた気がしてよかった～
I couldn’t really do summer-like things this summer…so though it was late, I felt like I’d enjoyed this summer and I was glad~

でも、残念ながら時間が無くて浴衣まゆゆ写真が撮れなかったのです（；＿；）ごめんなさい、、！
But, unfortunately I didn’t have time so I couldn’t take pictures of Yukata Mayuyu（；＿；）Sorry…!

夜の部では、
For the night performance,

まさかまさかの「サバの缶詰」を初披露しました、、、皆さんの前で歌う日が来るとはっ！
To everyone’s surprise, I performed “Saba no kanzume” for the first time…to think a day when I would sing this song in front of everyone would come!

歌中は懐かしの宇佐しじみの役に入り込んだので後半少々力み過ぎた気もしましたが、こんなまゆゆが観れるのもMayu’s レストランならではなのです！
While I was singing, I felt like being the old Usa Shijimi role so I think I got a little strained at the second half, but you can only see this Mayuyu at Mayu’s Restaurant!

また、いつか、、、どこかで歌えたらいいな、、笑
It’d be good if I could sing it again…at somewhere, someday…(laugh)

そして！
And!

アンコールの「シンクロときめき」では、直筆のサインとメッセージを入れたカラーボールを投げました！
During the encore “Synchro Tokimeki”, I threw color balls that have my autograph and messages!

無事キャッチできた方おめでとうございます♪
Everyone who was able to catch them successfully, congratulation♪

本番前にせっせと書いてました（笑）
I wrote them busily before the performance (laugh)

本当に、充実した一日になりました。
It was really a satisfying day.

課題点もまだまだあるので、次の埼玉公演へ向けて鍛え上げて行きます！！
There are still more challenge points, so I’ll practicing looking forward to my next live at Saitama!!

頑張れ、自分！
Do your best, myself!

それでは、
Well then,

9月16日に大宮ソニックシティでお会いしましょう(^^)
Let’s meet again on September 16 at Ōmiya Sonic City(^^)

Mayu’s レストラン 大宮店にてお待ちしております！
I’ll be waiting at Mayu’s Restaurant in Ōmiya!

それでは、
Well then,

おやすみなさい～
Good night~

今夜は良い夢が見れそうだ♪
Looks like I can see a good dream tonight♪

まゆゆより

お越しいただいた皆さまありがとうございました～～～～～～！！！
Everyone who had come, thank you very much~~~~~~!!!

愛知県の稲沢市にある、稲沢市民会館にて、２回公演、計１６曲、披露してきました！
At Inazawa Shimin Kaikan (civic center) in Inazawa city, Aichi Prefecture, two live performances, 16 songs in total, were performed!

衣装も、そして、セットも「Mayu’s レストラン」にちなんで可愛く作りましたので、大宮へ参戦予定の人も、ぜひぜひ楽しみにしていてください！！
Both the outfits and the set were made cutely after the theme  ”Mayu’s Restaurant”, so everyone who will participate the event at Ōmiya, please look forward to it!!

今回は、ソロシングル４枚に収録されている収録曲を全て、４公演を通して全部フルで披露する！というコンセプトですので、
The concept for this time is that all the songs recorded in this 4th single will be performed throughout all 4 live performances, all are in full songs!

昨日の２公演でも初披露の楽曲も結構ありました。　皆さんいかがだったでしょうか？？？？？
There were quite lot of songs that were performed for the first time at the 2 performances yesterday. Everyone, how was it?????

スペシャルゲストととして、「ヒカルものたち」のアレンジャー八王子Pさん、
HajiojiP-san who was the arranger for “Hikarumonotachi”,

そして以前イベントでも鍵盤を弾いてもらいました、ARISAさんにご登場いただきましたよ～！！
and ARISA-san who played the keyboard at the previous event also appeared as special guests~!!

八王子PさんはDJだけでなく、オープニングのSE“Overture”も今回のラッパ練習中ver.で作ってもらったので、そこもぜひチェックしてくださいっ。
HajiojiP-san wasn’t only in charge of the DJ part, he also made the Rappa Renshuuchuu ver. of the opening SE (sound effects) ”Overture”, so please also check that.

ということで、写真は終演後のショット。
With that said, here’s the photo shot after the performance.

今回会場で販売しているラッパ練習中グッズTシャツをライブ用にきらきらアレンジした衣装です！
This is the outfits with the Rappa Renshuuchuu goods’ T-shirt, which is sold at the venue this time, arranged glitteringly for this live!

それでは、残り２公演も、皆さま楽しみにしていてください～！！！
Well then, everyone, please look forward to the 2 performances left~!!!

Mayu looks great there!

Some more info on the Nagoya shows, from the blog of the bloke on my tlist who went to both of them (and who's unprotected twitter pictures I previously posted): http://ameblo.jp/ten622/entry-11604893922.html

The first costume is a new waitress costume. During the costume change to the pink yukata is when Hachioji P plays. He also plays during the overture/opening. ARISA performed Cousin and Saba no Kanzume.


A couple more random pics of the goods:

Mayuyu’s straightforward feelings, serious aspect who values the feelings of others, and being an extremely hard-worker. Those parts of her are very cool. Mayuyu. Really. I think I’m very happy to be able to feel those things, being by her side! I love you Mayuyu♡You got my dear heart!
