[Prologue: Yesterday, Mari decided she wanted to post 101 blog updates in one day, in an effort to break Nakagawa Shoko's single-day record of 100 posts. Will Shokotan just sit back and let her record be broken? More on that in a bit...]
1. Start!
Okay, it's finally begun
I've started 
This is exciting 
"The 101 Post Challenge"
Start 
I'll be adding a photo to every post 
Well, the biggest problem is probably...
I'm scared I'll run out of things to talk about... 
If you have any hints for me, please let me know in the comments 
Also, I think I'll be getting some information email, so please be prepared 
Okay, more in a few minutes... 
2. Encouragement ☆
The staff gave me these as an encouragement 
As I aim for 101 posts
I have to do this now 
I'm psyched
Thank you for the Sembikiya jelly 
I'll share it with my family 
3. Best 5 comics ☆
I want to tell you about my five favourite comics 
First, number five 
Drumroll, please  
Ta da
Number 5
"Koibana!"
It's a touching story of a girl who hates boys, but falls for a really cool guy 
It really touches my heart
I like straightforward girls' comics 
4. Number 4 ☆
Here's number 4 
Drumroll, please
Ta da
Number 4
"BECK"
It's the reason I started playing guitar 
There are breathtaking times when the drawing is so good, I can hear the music 
It gives me goosebumps 
Read it all in one go 
5. Number 3 ☆
It's number 3 
Drumroll, please
Ta da
Number 3
"Kimi ni Todoke"
It's good
A pure love story
I just can't get enough of that honest emotion
Kazehaya is soooo cool
All you girls, and even you guys, should try reading it
6. Number 2 ☆
Announcing number 2 
Drumroll, please
Ta da
Number 2
"Fullmetal Alchemist"
It's so funny
There are lots of sad parts in it, but it just makes me want to keep on reading
Fullmetal is great
7. Number 1 ☆
And now, the great number 1 
Drumroll, please
Ta da
Number 1
"One Piece"
Of course
It's the comic that I'll love my entire life 
I'm so glad I discovered such a great comic 
Let's all join Luffy's pirates on their adventures 
So, that was that.
My five favourite comics 
8. What is this!?
My makeup artist Shimako got this in her change from a vending machine 
It looks a bit like a 500 yen coin...
But it seems to be some commemorative soccer coin 
It says 2002 on it
Wow
It seems like a waste to put that in a vending machine
You're lucky... Shimako
9. Patience ☆
I bought the 22nd volume of Skip Beat the other day...
But I haven't read it yet 
There's no way I can today 
I'll read it tomorrow
10. It's about time...
I'll take a bath now 
A pink bath
Take a deep breath
11. Super Saiyajin ☆
When I get in the bath and let my hair down...
It's, it's, it's...
Super Saiyajin...
Ha ha ha ha...
Enough of that, I've got to get in the bath 
12. Out of the bath ☆
That's better 
I was feeling a little tired before...
But now I feel like I can keep on going
I'm hungry...
Not good, not good... 
13. One shot from today
With everybody from the school I went to today 
It's hard to see where I am again... 
I got lost in the crowd 
The kids there kept saying...
Mari-chan, Mari-chan
I got along with them so well
They were cute 
14. A second shot from today ☆
We all had a school lunch together 
One blonde in a sea of black hair
We had curry and rice 
It was a taste that brought back memories 
And while I was there...
I heard a question I didn't want to hear...
"Mari-chan, why aren't you drinking any milk "
Yeah.
Awkward...
I thought for a moment...
Then said...
"I can't drink it."
Honestly.
Because, I couldn't make up some excuse...
They were looking at me with such bright eyes...
To a future without pickiness... 
15. Sofa ☆
One of my favourite places...
Right here 
The sofa in my room 
Yes
This is the same sofa from...
"Hama-chan ga!"
The one I got from Ikea on that episode
It's so big
I can sleep on it 
So comfortable
16. Flavour ☆
What flavour of candy do you guys like
The ones I usually buy are...
Chocolate banana 
And this...
Watermelon flavour 
Watermelon flavour puccho
I was so excited when I discovered these 
Whoever came up with making watermelon flavoured candy must have been a genius 
Thank you
17. Since I was hungry...
This unbearable hunger...
I couldn't take it...
My stomach was starting to hurt from not eating anything, so...
I had this
Miso soup
Nice
18. The first time ☆
Evangelion 
I've only watched the first episode...
I've heard that people get hooked on it when they watch it, so I'm sure I'll be getting into the world of Eva
19. Brushing teeth ☆
Brush, brush... 
Fatigue... MAX 
I need to get up early tomorrow, so I should go to bed... 
20. Good night ☆
I'm going to sleep...
So I've done 20 posts already...
There's still a long way to go...
Okay
I'll do my best
[And at this point, Yaguchi fell asleep for about six hours. But who was still awake? Nakagawa Shoko. Certainly she heard about Yaguchi's plans, so she also decided to make a flurry of posts today starting at midnight. Shokotan didn't stop posting steadily until around 6:50 a.m., having posted 74(!) updates up 'til then. You have to wonder if Mari noticed that once she woke up. Commenters on Mari's blog posts certainly were abuzz about the situation. We'll post Shokotan's total number of posts at the end of the article. But for now, back to Yaguchi...]
21. Good morning ☆
I'm tired...
What to do...
I need to get up soon...
22. Leaving!
I have to work today, so there will be times when I can't post...
But I'll do my best to post when I can 
Stay tuned 
23. In my purse ☆
Actually... There's something I always carry with me in my purse
This ☆
A card made out of a four-leaf clover
Shinagawa gave it to me a long time ago
So that happiness would visit me
Four-leaf clovers really are mysterious
When I was a kid, I'd search desperately for them, and I'd feel so happy when I found one
Now I want to look for one again
Feeling worn out this morning
Feeling worn out by myself
24. Mini Buddha ☆
Recently, a fan gave me this
Ta da
Mini Mini Buddha 
Someone skilfully made this tiny version after seeing the Buddha statue I made on TV
Plus, it's been made into a keyring
I'm so happy
For some reason, Kei-chan got one too (lol)
A Buddha keyring
It'll be a hit
"Why a Buddha"
They'll ask.
Well, yeah 
25. White ☆
First...
Choosing my clothes
White
Look forward to seeing what I change into 
So, what will it be?
26. Breakfast ☆
I'm eating the rice balls that were left in my dressing room 
Whoa, so busy
Do my makeup, check my phone, use the computer, eat...
My brain is working overtime
27. I love them ☆
The rice balls from Jukkoku in Ginza are really good
Inside...
Salmon
Whitebait
Umeboshi
That's all
So delicious
Okay, I'm getting my makeup done now
28. Pad ☆
Mousepad
Yesterday, I lost the one I've been using so far...
So, Kacchan brought me a new one 
[Note: Kacchan is one of Yaguchi's managers]
An Ameba one 
Cute
29. I'm a secretary ☆
I'm going to have a press conference dressed as a secretary
I'll post a lot more later
30. Press conference ☆
It was a press conference for Animax
Because I really love anime, I was really happy
Slam Dunk reminds me of my youth 
31. Setup ☆
The reason I'm a secretary...
In this scenario, I'm a highly-educated graduate of a famous private university... 
I'm so happy
I'm trying to keep a rigid expression 
32. Four people ☆
There were four of us at the press conference
Kashuu Toshiki
Kuriyama Chiaki
Kato Natsuki
Among those actors and actresses, there I was...
A variety idol...
But I'm really looking forward to this
33. Campaign car ☆
I got to ride in a campaign car
Sort of
34. Still...
I'm still... not home
At this rate... 101 posts is going to be tough...
Not good
35. Where's Yaguchi answer...
The answer to Where's Yaguchi 10...
The one wearing the green "kappa" raincoat in the middle 
Could you tell? 
Really...
I look less like a kappa...
And more like an umibouzu [sea monster]...
36. Full-body shot of all four ☆
I really look out of place...
I'm Representative Kashuu's number one secretary
I'm doing my best to be intellectual 
But Kuriyama and Kato looked so beautiful
I was bewitched by their charms...
37. Kato Natsuki ☆
I got a photo with her, too
She's so cute 
I could fall in love with her, and I'm a woman
38. Sky ☆
Today...
It's the cloudy sky... 
I'm glad it's not raining, but it feels like it could start anytime...
39. Sunshine ☆
Towering over Ikebukuro 
Sunshine City
Whoa
Is it really this big
I wonder how many times taller than me it is... 
40. Looking for material ☆
I'm already at 40 posts
But... I seemed to be running out of material, so I took a walk 
I've stopped in at Chuo Park in eastern Ikebukuro 
I wonder if there's anything here... 
41. The symbol of peace ☆
Pigeons  
[Note: In Japan, "pigeon" and "dove" are the same word]
This reminds me of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu 
Sorry I can't feed you...
42. La ☆
To get an overview...
This is what the park looks like 
It's nice to just relax 
But I don't like being alone, so I'm going home to fight with my computer
43. Gacha Gacha ☆
I stopped by on the way home to play the gachapon machines
I love them
The one I chose was...
The Full Metal Alchemist gacha 
And...
I wonder what I'll get 
I wonder what I'll get
Cha la chacha cha
Cha la la la
44. I got a Gacha Gacha!
Ta da
I got Edward  
And he's so cute 
Oh yeah 
45. Ed ☆
And look closely.
It's a phone strap
Very well made
And so cute 
Ah... I want a Mustang, too 
Oh, but I don't have the time... 
46. Bikes ☆
It's sad... 
You shouldn't leave your bikes like this...
We need to have good manners in this world
47. A hair tie is blooming ☆
I thought I saw a single flower blooming in a sea of green...
But
It seems somebody left a flower-shaped hair tie lying in the greenery 
There's nothing I can say about that 
They got me with that one... 
48. MOS ☆
I stopped in at a MOS Burger that I'd been working with for Mosdo
I'm getting too hungry...
49. When it comes to MOS...
It has to be their chicken nuggets 
They're deep fried, so they're nice and crunchy
I like them with mustard sauce
What about you guys
50. Main course ☆
The tokachi croquette burger 
Today felt like a croquette kind of day 
Whew, I can relax now that I'm full
51. Encouragement 2 ☆
Yay
I've made it to the 51st post already 
All of your comments are really encouraging me
Thank you
And I also got another supply of encouragement
O-kun, from the staff of "100 Japanese People"...
It seems he's been following my 101 blog posts.
And he came over to bring me some refreshments
He's so kind... 
Thank you so much
And look at this
BVLGRARI
That's what it says
What is it
I'm going to open it
52. Classy ☆
I took this stylish box out of the bag...
It looks like a good box for putting accessories or a watch into 
I'm going to open it
I can't wait
53. Whoa ☆
When I opened the lid, I saw
Shiny...
Chocolates
Wow, wow, wow
I would be a waste to eat them...
They even have gold leaf 
I've never seen anything like them
O-kun is amazing
Munch 
Whoa
Happy 
54. Also in the bag ☆
It wasn't just the chocolates.
There's a blueberry pie.
It looks like it came from Kiki's Delivery Service  
It's shiny and looks good
55. Imperial Hotel ☆
The blueberry pie looks good
But so does this
It looks like a pie from the Imperial Hotel
By the way, this one is a Chaliapin pie from "Gargantua"  
Apparently it's a meat pie made with well tenderised steak
Munch
Wonderful 
It really is sooooo good
I'm going to get fat after 101 posts 
56. Which one!?
So, which is it
Is it a giant Chupa Chups...
Or is it a tiny eraser...
It all depends on your feelings
57. Cute Shimako ☆
While I was panicking over not having anything to write about... 
Shimako sent me something to use 
She said, "Use this photo." 
And here it is
And old 1000 yen note and an old 5000 yen note
Shimako is so toughtful and cute
Thank you
58. Taking it from my manager ☆
Following after Shimako, my manager sent me some material, too 
Anyway, please have a look
That's right, it's a column of Shiroi Koibito cakes...
Huh? What's that all about?
I don't understand...
Why are all the cakes lined up...
I'll just appreciate the sentiment
59. Best 5 figures!
I'm going to show you my five favourite figures from all the ones I have at home
First...
Number 5
Drumroll, please
Ta da
"Giant Slime  "
I got this as a birthday present from my managers Kacchan and Yama-chan 
It's too big, so I can't put him on the shelf...
I make sure to dust him regularly 
Oh, Dragon Quest 9 is coming out soon 
I can't wait
60. Figure 4 ☆
Number 4 is...
Drumroll, please
Ta da
"Lum-chan  "
I love Urusei Yatsura
I've seen all the TV shows and movies  
I got this one from Nakano Broadway
61. Figure 3 ☆
Number 3 is...
Drumroll, please
Ta da
"Luffy  "
Isn't he just too cool? 
I'm in love... with you
I've got a whole lot in the One Piece series  
62. Figure 2 ☆
Number 2 is...
Drumroll, please
Ta da
"Kaibutsu-kun  "
They're so cute, done in black, white, and grey
They were a limited edition from a clothing store, so they seem to be rare 
Heh heh...
63. Figure 1 ☆
Number 1 is...
Drumroll, please
"Life-size Giant Chopper "
I showed him off when I first started my blog
But I really do love Chopper
And he's so big
He's worth 30000 yen
So, those were the best five figures out of my huge collection
64. I'm doing fine!
Thank you for all your concern in your comments
My back was a little sore, so I took a quick break... 
I wonder if I'm going to make it... It's already after 8:00...
But I'm full of energy
Yahoo
65. The one in charge ☆
This is Tatsunami, from Ameba, who's in charge of running my blog
She's posing with a box of Yaguchi tissues 
She's really kind, and definitely pretty 
Thank you so much for all your help
I know this crazy plan is a lot of hard work, but let's struggle on to the end
66. By the way...
On Tatsunami's cell phone... 
She has a Brocken Jr. strap
So strong
It's great
67. Supporting mail ☆
Nanba from Ameba sent me a photo to support me
Here it is
... 
"I'm not trying to put any pressure on you at all, but here's a photo from a guitar shop "
You stylish son-of-a-gun 
You reminded me of the pressure I'm under with my guitar 
But it calmed me down somehow 
Thanks
68. Sorry...
I couldn't look after Cookie today...
I'll play with him a lot tomorrow
69. Not really...
I'm not really hungry, but...
If I don't eat now, I'll have to have a late night snack
So, I'm having chazuke with salmon powder 
I'm living like a student just before her exams... 
Actually, more like during her exams 
70. My accessories ☆
Have a look at my many accessories
And these are just my necklaces
I have a few too many, so I have to be careful they don't get tangled up
71. My earrings ☆
Some of my earrings are here
Aren't they cute?
I still have a lot more...
But they're all in a mess, so please make do with just these nicely organised ones
72. Oh man!
It's the last spurt
I'm really not going to have enough time
Hurry 
73. Rilakkuma...
I wonder when he started leaning like that... 
You're tired too, huh...
74. More patience ☆
The newest Pluto
I want to read it
Patience... Patience...
75. A new series ☆
And...
Urasawa Naoki's new series is out
The title is...
"Billy Bat"
Once again, I want to read it
Aw...
76. To be honest...
I'm drinking...
It's just one, so forgive me...
77. Eco friendly ☆
It's our earth, so we should protect it 
Sometimes...
I get serious about it
78. 999 Shop ☆
They're selling these shiny pouches at the 999 yen shop
Which colour should I get
I can't decide... I have type-A blood.
Give me a day...
79. Toilet!
It's... blue.
Sorry for that
80. Figures of me ☆
A long time ago...
They made these figures for me on a TV show
So many memories
The white one is from my debut 
The middle one is from Manatsu no Kousen 
And the black one is from Tanpopo 
81. Trophies ☆
The trophies I got from Kouhaku Utagassen
I really treasure them
When I brought these home, my family were all so happy 
It almost brings a tear to my eye when I remember
82. Mother collection ☆
My mother loves glasses, so I usually give her wine glasses on mother's day and her birthday 
And as you can see
It's pretty
But there's nowhere to put them, so she has to use them
83. Ferrari ☆
There's a car that my father really likes
A Ferrari 
He says he wants to ride in one... 
They're expensive, so I can't buy him one. But I did give him a toy Ferrari as a present
He'll just have to make do with that
84. Wow ☆
A fan sent these to me
Ta da
Yaguchi Hitori figures
They're so great
Oh, by the way, I'm the one on the left
I guess that's obvious...
85. Portrait ☆
A while back I did a location shoot with Yamazaki Touru
And the other day...
He sent me this portrait
I was so happy, I've had it on display ever since
Ha ha ha
Thank you so much
86. Support 1
From Shimako...
"Good luck! Just a little more!"
It brought a tear to my eye...
Thank you
Just a little further
87. Support 2
From Kacchan...
"Yaguchi"
Got it
Thanks
88. Support 3
From Yanase, who always helps me with my figure collection... 
A Yaguchi-Goku collaboration
A work of art
Thank you so much
89. Support 4
From Kikkawa...
Hm?
What's he doing
When I asked him, he said he was studying me...
I've got so many people supporting me
Th... Thank you
90. Support 5
From S-san, who's in charge of Morning Musume...
What is it, what is it, what is it
He's hanging my Seishun Boku costume from his back...
Oh, that's what it is
...I don't get it
But thanks anyway
Thanks to all the staff at the office for all your support
Just a little more to go
91. iRobot ☆
A wonderful little guy who cleans the room all on his own when you give him power
I seem to be have things pretty easy now...
Or so I thought, but I haven't really used it yet
I'll start using soon
92. Completely...
I'm completely out of material...
I'm scared...
Anyway, I'll have a drink
What to do...
93. I was in trouble...
So, my father rummaged around and brought something out 
His beloved radio control boat 
Apperently it costs 50000 yen
Wow And it's so big
But... I don't want to make mom angry
Thank you for your help
94. Treasure ☆
I got this to commemorate when I joined the One Piece movie support team
It's Luffy receiving the straw hat from Vivi in Alabasta 
And it's autographed by voice actor Tanaka Mayumi
I'll stay with One Piece for all my life
95. I'm like this now!
Neck Beam
Oh well
That was no good 
96. Only today!
My sexy plan
Lip Beam 
Sorry for being so creepy
97. I like this ☆
This hat is one I really like these days
A straw hat from CA4LA 
It's like Luffy's
98. Oda ☆
I got this signed One Piece drawing of Luffy from the creator, Oda Eiichiro 
It's great
"To Yaguchi Mari - Thank you for your support"
He did spell my name wrong.
[Note: He used 真理 instead of 真里 ...both are read as "Mari" though]
But I don't mind at all
I was just jumping for joy when I got it
Seeing things like this just makes me love One Piece even more...
99. 3 to go!
The goal is in sight
Go for it, Yaguchi
The comments are all supporting you
Don't lose now
100. 100 posts reached!
Kacchan sent me one last encouragement
But, the cotton swabs...
You should use them properly
※ It looks like she used them all...
101. 101 Posts ☆
I did it
I just barely made it
Anyway, it's all done now
It was tough, but I'm really glad I did it and got to feel so many different things
I'll take my time and write my thoughts about it later
Thank you very much
Annnnd, the final tally:
Yaguchi Mari: 101 posts
Nakagawa Shoko: 237 posts
Mari did her best, but the blogging queen retains her crown.
And if you've read this far, you're as crazy as we are. See you next week! |
