Maimi has her final shoot for her recurring cartography series and introduces as new member with a miracle waist in her January 17th update “Final installment“. Full translation below.

Good afternoon
It’s Maimi

Yesterday I had a photoshoot for the serial “UTB+” segment,
“℃-ute Yajima Maimi no Yajimap Sweets Sugyou no Tabi”(^o^)/*

What! It was the final photoshoot

It was held in Ikebukuro

I went to a lot of places in the span of about a year,
and I ate a variety of sweets and learned a variety of things… I enjoyed the photoshoots form the bottom of my heart

Originally I thought “Will I be able to do a project with the sweets I love and the drawing I love?“, and the staff of UTB came up with this for me

I’m really happy that I could do things I love for a serial segment like this…

Not just that,
but for the sake of making the map, everyone walked from the station during the photoshoot,

and the time spent walking was really fun♪( ´θ｀)ノ
Especially on days when the weather was nice

The sun was hitting the place we went yesterday, so it felt great

Ever since this segment started,
a lot of people have told me via comments and letters and at handshake events that they found the restaurant using my difficult to understand map and ate the same sweets as me

I was happy(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

Thank you for the year

UTB+ goes on sale February 9th,
so please be sure to check it out

 

Changing the subject,
yesterday the FM-PORT program “℃-ute Yajima Maimi no I My MeMaimi~” aired

One of the letters said
“Please come up with a pose for a 2-shot polaroid event“,

and the pose I came up with during the program is like this(o^^o)

(1)

Berryz Koubou’s Sudou Maasa-chan played the role of the other person♪( ´θ｀)ノ

It’s a rice grain pose(o^^o)

“℃-ute Yajima Maimi no I My MeMaimi~” airs in Niigata,

so I used the image of rice~( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

How is it?(^O^)

lol lol lol lol

If you can’t come up with a pose, please use it(^^)

Well then,
here is today’s new member introduction

(2)

Today is Inoue Rei-chan,
who was chosen for the new unit

The first time I saw her I thought
“Her face is tiny(　゜д゜)”

And then, when I saw her wearing the outfit for the on-going Hello! Project concerts during the dress rehearsal I thought

“Eh(　゜д゜) Her waist is skinny(　゜д゜)”

It’s probably no more than 20 inches(゜o゜;;

Hagiwara Mai-chan, a member of our group, also has a miracle waist,

and Inoue-chan’s is just as thinΣ(・□・；)

Since I have no waist, I’m enviousヽ(；▽；)ノ Really envious…

Anyway, it surprised me~♪( ´θ｀)ノ
Some day I’d like to measure her waist( ´ ▽ ` )ノlol

In addition, her hair is really long
And yet it’s silky(o^^o)

You can’t tell the length in today’s picture, but if you remember that she’s the member in the new unit with the longest hair, you’ll understand who she is right away(^^)

While watching on the monitor, Suzuki Airi-chan said “She’s a girl who shines on stage~♪(´ε｀ )”(o^^o)

I really agreed with her

She’s normally a really cute girl,
but she sparkles even more when she stands on stage(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

She was absent from the earlier Hello! concerts because of the flu,

but she makes her return at today’s Nagoya performances,

and I’m really glad she’s gotten better~

We’re going to have fun and work hard at today’s Nagoya performances(^o^)/*

p.s.
Yesterday I went to Differ ARIAKE to see Suzuki Airi-chan and Okai Chisato-chan’s event(//∇//)

It’s their first event together in 4 years~(*^^*)

I enjoyed their singing and conversations(//∇//)

The 2 of them seemed really, really nervous,

but they did a really good job…

The audience was fired-up and had a warm atmosphere too

I watched while thinking “I’ll have my birthday event here on February 6th~“,

and got excited like “I want to do that”
and “I want to sing this song“~♪(´ε｀ )

I’ll work hard so that I can put on a fun event too(((o(*゜▽゜*)o)))

Lastly, a picture with Chisato in the opening outfit

What a cutie(^o^)/*
