Maimi makes a guest appearance in a play by the team responsible for “Ran” and “Taklamakan” in her December 10th update “Kuru Kuru to Shi to Shitto“. Full translation below.

Good afternoon
It’s Maimi

Yesterday I made a guest appearance at the Hata-gumi play “Kuru Kuru to Shi to Shitto”, which is being held at Higashi Ikebukuro Owl Spot

I’ve worked with everyone in Hata-gumi a lot up until now,
and they’re always kind and affectionate when we meet, so I’m really happy

I was so glad that I could co-star with them again like this

As expected, I was really, really nervous about the performance(°_°)

But I was really happy I could participate in one of the Hata-gumi plays I love,

the nervousness I felt before the performance reminded me of how I felt during earlier Hata-gumi plays “Ran” and “Taklamakan”,

and once again I thought “I really want to be in another Hata-gumi play♪( ´θ｀)ノ”

A lot of people came to watch even though it was a weekday, so I was really happy

My juniors and staff members also came…

Thank you for the snacks

I co-starred with the play’s star Niigaki Risa-san during “Taklamakan”,

and during the dress rehearsal,
she said “Do you want me to record a video?“, and recorded my scene for me from the audience

She really is so kind… Ooh…

For this guest appearance,
I was told “Do as you please“,

and when I was like “As I please… What should I do~((((；゜Д゜)))))))”, Niigaki-san discussed it with me…

She really is like a big sister(//∇//)

We made a promise to go out to eat later(^o^)/*

And then,
Tsukiyama Mayumi-san and Taki Kahoko-san,
who always give me tons of advice about plays

Whenever I see them in a play, they capture my heart…

I really respect them

In addition, I was able to take a picture with Aoyama Ikuyo-san,

who I co-starred with for the first time since “Sengoku Jieitai”

(3)

There’s a scene where she has to say astoundingly long lines really, really fast,

and she does it incredibly smooth(　゜д゜)
It’s really amazing

This was our first time co-starring together in awhile,
and when I met her at the practice hall,

she said to me “Since last time, I’ve listened to ℃-ute songs often~“

I’m happy~

I hope everyone can reach tomorrow’s closing day without injury…

It’s a play that makes you think about a lot of things
Everyone, if you have the time, please be sure to see it

Well then, let’s have a fun and wonderful time for the rest of the day

Until tomorrow’s update~♪( ´θ｀)ノ

The YouTube program “Hello! Station #96” is scheduled to be uploaded today at 9:00PM
