Watanabe Mayu (Mayuyu) / 3rd Generation

After 4 hours or searching I have finally found it!

Turns out it wasnt that outfit nor in tokyo dome. However I took a screenshot of the similar dress and similar pose from tokyo dome too so now I cant choose which one I like best

 

God I hope we'll see her at Yukirin's Graduation concert.
And Yukirin will not graduate till Mayuyu is not ready.

 

It's what I live for The very last hope

Every time this thread is bumped my heart-rate ⚠️

 

Same! It seems silly to care about a celebrity so much, but I really hope she’s doing well and was able to take some time to learn more about herself outside of her idol career.

 

Happy birthday, my forever oshi that I will so love dearly! Wishing only the best for Mayu and hope she is happy wherever she may be!

 

Happy Birthday Mayuyu and hope you are doing well where ever you are.

We're all going to feel old next year when Mayuyu turns 30.

 

Happy birthday!! I love you forever

 

Mayu chan, it’s your 3rd birthday after retirement, omedetou! It is always a very special and important day for me, so I can write something to congratulate you, and I am very grateful that many others are doing the same too! I know you are always so competent and disciplined, I’m sure that the last 3 years had been an eventful yet fruitful journey for you. Mayu chan, please don’t worry about us, so you can continue to focus on moving forward. You are also so considerate, respectful, but tough. You are my role model and I will understand and support your brave decision as always! I still dream of you sharing some of your good news in the future though!

I wish you a healthy body and a happy soul as always, enjoy your birthday!

 

Happy Birthday to my eternal kami-oshi wherever you are!

 

Happy birthday Mayuyu! Wherever you are, I hope you're happy and healthy. We miss you, and we hope you know we will always welcome you back on stage or on the screen whenever you feel like coming back someday.

 

Happy Birthday Mayuyu!!

No matter how much time passes, I still love and care about Mayuyu just as much as ever ;w;
She was such a perfect idol. I feel like we're lucky that we got to know her as an idol for years...
I hope that she's happy and healthy, and enjoying her life everyday now

My favorite solo single of her! This song always puts me in a good mood, it's so happy and cute!


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

Mayuyu!! Happy birthday!!
Tonight I actually dreamt of meeting old AKB and when it was time for Mayuyu, they only showed a hologram which made us all very sad so we (me and all the other fans) cried. When I woke up I told myself not to cry about Mayuyu not being with us anymore because I don't want to burden her I hope she had a wonderful birthday celebrated with friends and family

 

I've just been catching up with watching today's 'HKT48 no Haru Concert 2023' where Nako performed a very beautiful version of Mayuyu's solo song 'Deai no Tsuzuki'. I'm pretty sure it's first time I've heard it covered by another singer but sadly due to the usual copyright reasons I can't post a video here. However here's a photo from the 48Times Twitter account from Nako's performance:

Her voice really fits the song

 

Nako was Mayu's child after all, I'm happy she performed her song

Mayu's idol, Hanyu Yuzuru, announces his marriage, but the identity of the bride is kept secret. So there are quite some speculations about Mayu now. I would be happy if it is true but I think the chance is too remote.

 

With team B last concert being tomorrow I'm missing Mayuyu more than ever Hoping that they perform Team B Oshi and B Garden

 

The only 'mainsteam' news article I've found which is speculating that Mayuyu might be Hanyu's bride is from Nifty News:

DeepL translation:

 

Interesting. I think Yukirin mentioned some time ago she thought Mayu "would never marry" or she "doubted she'll ever marry" (I'm paraphrasing here). It's safe to say being the closest friend and "mama" to Mayu, that Yukirin knows her well enough to have said something like that. But who knows, people change. Regardless, if true, I'd be very happy for Mayuyu to have found love.
