Berryz Koubou’s captain Shimizu Saki shared this seemingly unrelated 2-shot with Maimi in an update on her official blog.

Nagahama Iria uploaded this 3-shot with Maimi and Okai Chisato in an update on her official blog, where she reminded everyone to tune in to see them all on “Tsuri Roman wo Motomete” when it broadcasts on August 18th.

In this video uploaded to the UFACTORY Channel, Maimi and the ℃-ute members act as if they’re concentrating hard on making the buttons that will be available at their “℃-ute Cutie LIVE 2012 summer” event on 8/9. Though they’re all supposed to be acting serious, you can see Maimi breaking a smile at around the 1:07 mark. In addition to the preview of the buttons, you can also see Maimi’s t-shirt and microfiber towel starting at 2:16.
