Watanabe Mayu (Mayuyu) / 3rd Generation

So Mayuyu is now the only Original Kami7 member still in Kami7. It was getting so late where I was I was think of giving up and going to bed, thinking Sasshi was going to win again. Glad I didn't.

 

new-ship translated her election speech:

"It’s me. AKB48 Team B’s Watanabe Mayu.

This year, regarding my speech on senbatsu sousenkyo two year’s ago that I told that I want to be the first, I’ve made a bet.

However, This year that dream come true.

That time to become the first, was a year full of hard work. Earnestly I were really serious to work hard, put all my effort, I were thinking that no other thing over it.

At once, to think of giving up my dream, such thing was ever been in my mind. However, that time, you are all the fans encouraged me up.

"The next time, definitely, you will dance on the first position"

hearing those words, I realized that I must not give up my dream.

I joined AKB when I were 12 years old, and this year I turned twenty.

On the way I walked through, I faced a lot of things, for sure.

However, Since the life is just once, and since I passed the audition of AKB that I love through the tough progress, I want to get a decent place. So I kept walking until this day.

Thruthfully, “I’m glad that I didn’t give up” is all my thought now.

I believed on the way that I walk on, and I believed that the fans always kept supporting, So, I’m really glad that finally I’m able to come to this place now.

When I joined AKB, and became the third gen, There are a lot of sempai in front of my eyes.

Time went by, a new kouhai were coming up, the sister groups were also created. The sempai who I respect were graduating one by one.

By their graduating, I thought that I missed them.

When I joined AKB48, first time I ever thought about where AKB will be brought to?

Now, with AKB48 and also the remaining third generation, with all the strength, there’s no other way than just to move forward.

Until now, because I always looked at the sempai’s back, following their ways, their wonderful work, the sempai also gave their assistance for me, a lot of support I got, so that I’m able to get the first place. Those were wonderful things that I ever got.

Now, I can’t look at the sempai’s back or hear their advice anymore.

From now on, since I have a lot of kouhais, I want them looking at my back and say ” I want to follow her way, to be such strong, I to be such kind of member”

Rather than just looking at the sempai’s back, I think I would be better to look up at AKB48 group’s future. Without forgetting the ones who had graduated, with a lot of gratitude feeling on my heart, I want to move forward.

to you who are here even though the rain poured and cold breezed, also to the people who are watching this on the television,

for all you support,

Thank you very much."

"Another one,
I've been following Mayu-san all the time so far until now.
And also, I support her.
I want to do it for her.
I am so heartily glad for Mayu-san who've gotten the first rank (T_T)"

Another Mayuyu supporter from Team B
You can see Juri full post here, but I'm just quoting the part where she talk about Mayuyu

and...congratulations for your first rank!
hopefully 37th single will have a good catchy memorable song

 

uzasen season 2, one year later ... 39 yrs old ?

 

In the last part of the recent AKB48 SHOW, did they say Mayuyu will get a episode in the future with just her in it?

 

i was expecting sasshi to brake the akb record of back-to-back.

still a win for Mayu.. congrats Mayuyu fans!

 

At last~ yay Mayu!!
Congratulations to her and her fans! Truly a well deserved win!!
I'm very excited for the next single now x3

 

I think she will have a corner every episode just like Takamina's consultation something?

 

Congratulations to Queen Mayu!
Does anyone have a video of her speech? I missed it Q_Q (preferably with her reaction at Sasshi being second too )

 

Thanks! Sounds great that Mayuyu is getting a corner in every episode!

@moonlit
You can watch Mayuyu's reaction when Sasshi got called 2nd in the AKB48 SHOW's recent episode. (The link is posted by YKT on the last page)

 

Thanks for those posting videos and the translation of Mayu's speech! What a great night. I look forward to getting to know Mayu better, I think she's really going to shine in the center position.

 

Has to be done:

 

Congrats Mayu and fans! My jaw dropped when I saw the results, since I was expecting Sasshi to win. However, this is definitely Mayu's year, as she turned 20 three months ago. I'm very excited for the election single.

 

Congrats to Mayu and good work to those who voted/supported! I am very excited for this single and I am so proud and happy that Mayu finally got her name called last after so many years. My heart was bursting when Yukirin was called and thank goodness for the adrenaline rush cause when Mayu was called I think I just died. Like there is no other way to describe this happiness except that I felt like I was watching an equalizer in futbol.

Once again congrats Mayu WOOOH!
