Maimi becomes licensed and goes for a dip in her September 10th update “W, what!“. Full translation below.

“Gekkan Diver” goes on sale today,
and on the cover of the next issue going on sale October 10th,

my senior Yoshizawa Hitomi-san and myself will appear

That’s right

I, Yajima Maimi,
earned my diving license this summer

To get my license,

I had to take lessons,
train in a pool,
train in the ocean…

It felt like the first time in a really long while that I’ve taken lessons,

and I wondered “How many years it’s been since I’ve swam in a pool and the ocean??(≧▽≦)”…

I love moving my body,
so it made me happy to be swimming…

The process of getting my license was really funо(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆

My first dive since then was for this “Gekkan Diver” photoshoot

The world in the ocean is reaaaaaaaaally beautiful(T ^ T)

It’s so mysterious

There was a huge world that I hadn’t witnessed until nowヽ(；▽；)ノ

It’s something I’ve only seen on TV before,

but as expected, it’s amazing when you see it with your own eyes~

 

Fish swam right in front of me as if nothing was unusual

Whoaaa(　ﾟдﾟ)
Looking at the picture again, I’m moved! lol

I was really nervous about my first dive,
but Yoshizawa-san lead me｡ﾟ(T^T)ﾟ｡

Originally, Yoshizawa-san invited me saying “Let’s go diving together~(o^^o)”

I had a strong image of it being scary under the sea, but I became really interested in it when I listened to her talk,

and got my license as a result

Even after the shoot was finished, she said “Let’s do diving again(o^^o)”,

so I hope that we’ll get another chance someday

There are so many things that moved me while diving that I don’t have enough room to write about all of them here,

so I’ll continue to occasionally write diving blogs

And then, please look forward to our appearance on next issue’s cover~
