Maimi gets hands-on with the fans after a long drought in her August 21st update “First handshake in a while!“. Full translation below.

Good evening

Today in Shinjuku,
I had a handshake event for the photo book which went on sale today,
“Nobody knows 23″(*^^*)

 

What
It seems it was my first handshake event in 3 months~\(//∇//)\

I received a looooot of power shaking hands with everyone for the first time in a while(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

There were people who came running after work,
and I was surprised that there were people who came from Kagawa, Kumamoto, Hokkaido, and other far away places

 

In addition,
I was even more surprised by how many people I met for the first timeΣ(￣。￣ﾉ)ﾉ

About 1/3rd, I wonder??

I’m glad that there were countless people who said things like

“I became a fan at Afro no Hen Fes\(//∇//)\”

and

“I became interested after ROCK IN JAPAN Fes…“,

and there were also a lot of people who said

“I became a fan just a few months ago~f(^-^)”…

 

It made me think “I’m really grateful that we could appear at so many festivals this summer“,

and once again I felt “Each and every performance is important“

I also received a lot of power from everyone who I wasn’t meeting for the first time,
but who I talked to for the first time in a while*\(^o^)/*

I was really happy that we could talk

Thank you to everyone who couldn’t come this time but still supported me (o^^o)

The press also gathered for the photo book release,

and before the handshake event I was interviewed

I’ll be happy if a lot of people learn about my photo book and check it out because of the interview

I’m grateful to all the press who gathered too

 

There’s also a handshake on the 28th of this month,
at 6:00PM at Kinokuniya Shoten Fukuoka main store~

Those who have time, please be sure to come hang out

The other members wrote about the photo book in their blogs too…

I was happy

Thanks(/ _ ; )

 

By the way,
my hairstyle at this handshake event…

It was done by Nacky(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

She’s really skillful~\(//∇//)\
