Here’s the translation for Maimi’s 11/30 blog update, titled “Arm wrestling“:

This was written in the morning.
I apologize for the late update.

Good morning
It’s Maimi

Yesterday, near Mt. Fuji,
we filmed for next year’s Nihon TV drama “Suugaku Joshi Gakuen”

Mt. Fuji was really beautiful… The fall colors were also beautiful…

I really, really wanted to take a picture, but I missed my chance, and wasn’t able to take one… Too bad

That’s right
Earlier on the FM-PORT program I host every Friday at 10:00PM

“℃-ute Yajima Maimi no I My Me Maimi~”

I received a letter that read “I want you to arm wrestle Berryz Koubou’s Sudou Maasa-chan“

We had a proper match, and I reported the results the following week on the radio,

but I also want to reveal the whole story of the arm wrestling showdown in this blog

The characters…
myself (By the way, I’m wearing a black hairband on my wrist),
Maasa (Maa),
and Berryz Koubou’s Tokunaga Chinami (Chi)

Me “Ah That’s right The other day on the radio, an e-mail came that said ‘Please arm wrestle Maasa“… Let’s do it now”

Maa “Really Haha That’s fine (｀・v・´)”

Me “Ma, Maasa… you seem strong…”

Maa “I’m really strong”

Me “Eh… what’s your grip strength…”

Maa “About 30, I think”

Me “Ehhh Really”

Chi “Ah Okay, I’ll do the starting count… Ready Go”

Me “Ah Wait Will you take a picture too(>_<)”

Chi “OK”

Me “Sorry”

Chi “No problem Alright, ready Let’s… go”

SLAM
(1)

Me “Eh……(・・;) Instant kill… So strong I thought I was probably stronger… ”

Maa “Hahaha”

Me “But… the moment I gripped your hand, I thought ‘Hey, I’m going to lose‘…”

Chi “Ehhh, I wanna do it too”

Me “Wow Chi, it’s impossible”

Chi “Alright, I’ll do it with Maimi”

Me “That’s fine~ Chi looks weak (lol)”

Chi “I really do look weak It seems like I’ll break as soon as I say ‘Ei‘ (lol)”

Maa “Alright, this time Maa will do the starting count”

Me “OK~”

Maa “Let’s… go”

(2) Chi “Ahhh…(*_*)”

(3) Chi “It’s impossible…”

is what the matches were like…

At any rate, Maasa was strong…

She probably has the No. 1 grip strength in Hello! Project

Though I had thought I was the strongest person in Hello! Project, greatness is comparative…

I was defeated

I want someone to challenge Maasa (lol)

Well I will start the day
I’m off
