Yaguchi Mari Official Blog: Translations 2009.11.01 - 2009.11.13
Written by B.Slade & Kuno, updated: 20:31, 13-Nov 2009
Today, we catch up on the last two weeks with this double-sized batch of entries from Yaguchi Mari's blog! In this batch, Mari reflects on the Hexagon concert, hangs out with Mikitty, goes to see Nakazawa's play with Ishikawa & Yasuda, and reveals two big news items: she'll be voicing a character in her absolute favorite anime, "One Piece", and she'll appear fully rendered in 3D as a virtual masseuse in the upcoming PS3 game "Yakuza 4".
Full Story

Hexagon Family ☆☆☆
Thanks for waiting
Now I'll show you how things looked yesterday
First
A group photo
It's a big photo from the press conference
We held it between shows yesterday
The guy in the middle with the white suit is Cassius Shimada
He reminds me of somebody
He really does a lot for me
Okay, now everybody is getting ready...
Kobe always uses an old-fashioned roller to do the front of her hair
That always gets me
And now, an exclusive photo of Shinsengumi Lien having a meal
The trays and curry look good with them
Just like you'd expect
Next, here's how Fujimon looks
Perfect
And Tanaka...
Oh
A sexy photo
Hurry up
He's energetic, so the photo is blurry...
But he's so, so, so... cute
With Yukkiina's beloved dog Mahalo ready, it's time for the show to start
I got to sing Seishun Boku with Airband
It really felt good
It made me happy to hear all the cheering
I'm so glad everyone had a great time
Afterwards, the girls all sang Love Machine
That made me extra happy
Oh
Fujimon got mixed in with the girls and joined us
Fujimon's Love Machine was the best
I really am totally grateful to the 24000 fans in total who showed up to the two shows and had a wild time
The Hexagon family, including the staff and all the supportive fans, is a really warm group
I could feel the feelings from everyone who couldn't come
I think it'll be broadcast on the show, so be sure to look forward to that
So that was another wonderful concert I got to take part in, and I got some great memories and experiences from it
Concerts really are the best
Thank you so much for this time that was like a dream to me
I am one happy 26-year-old
_2009-11-01 21:35:26
Kansai Medical University ☆
Oh
My hair looks black, but it's really lighter
It's a rainy day, so it's dark out...
But never mind that
(」゜□゜)」
Today, I went to Osaka
I was invited to Kansai Medical University
At first it was going to be for a school festival, but the festival was cancelled, so I expected my event would be cancelled too...
But they put on a special event just for me
Thank you so much
Even with the rain, they did that for me
I'm so happy
It was a fun time, playing games with all the smart people there and singing for them
In the middle of it, a hot guy who's the school's biggest fan of me got his own part of the show
That really won me over
I'll be waiting for him in the variety world (lol)
But
He's going to become a doctor instead
That's great
(≧∇≦)
I really admire them all
Studying may be hard, but please do you best to become great doctors
I'm cheering for you
(*^o^*)
So anyway
At the end, I got a photo with the whole planning committee
I got some great memories from it
Thank you very much for inviting me
_2009-11-02 13:44:36
Mikitty ☆
Oh yeah
Mikitty came to see the Hexagon concert
Mai-chan was in the background too, hyper after the concert
(^w^)
Former Hello Project members Mai-chan, Tsuji-chan, and myself, all on-stage with Mikitty's husband
It's kind of a strange feeling
But she said it was really fun
(*^o^*)
I'm glad I'm glad
Mikittyyyyyyy
_2009-11-02 18:12:53
Heh heh heh ☆
Today, I'm doing a TV quiz about One Piece
I have to try my best
So now, here's a One Piece quiz from me
Q: What kind of fruit did Luffy eat?
Q: When is Zoro's birthday?
Q: What is the bounty on Chopper?
Q: Who is Sanji's mentor?
Q: What did I have for lunch today?
So, how many of those can you get right?
Oh
The last one wasn't a One Piece question... (lol)
Okay, time to start thinking
_2009-11-02 21:01:54
Thank you ☆
"Maririn - I love you"
misono gave me a overnight kit
I'm so happy
The overnight kit makes me happy too, but it's also the message that makes me happy
I'll treasure it
Thank you
(*^o^*)
And now, the answers to the One Piece quiz
1: Gum-Gum Fruit
2: November 11
Only Zoro has matching numbers
3: 50 berries
4: Red-Leg Zeff
5: Mentaiko pasta
Those were the answers
If you like One Piece, you should have been able to answer the first four, but the fifth one was a tricky one
But, some of you got all five right
Amazing
”(ノ><)ノ
That was a surprise
Thank you very much for always sticking with me
_2009-11-03 10:08:32
Ow ow ow ow...
I've been in pain all morning...
Maybe I slept in an odd position
It hurts
I put a compress on it before going out
_2009-11-03 18:49:56
HowMon ☆
Today
We're filming "How to Monkey Baby"
All day long
(^∀^)ノ
My neck feels much better now
Thanks for all your concerned comments
There's still more filming to do, so I'll write more later
So busy
_2009-11-03 21:00:34
Deciding on a leader ☆
I haven't worn pigtails in a long time
(^w^)
Today
Halk and I decided who should be the leader on How to Monkey Baby
(≧ε≦)
Election-style
We even had posters like these
First
The Halk version
"Halk: I'll make wonderful on-set meals a reality! I Love Japan! Yankee..."
His gold tooth is shining
Looking good
And then, the Yaguchi Mari version
"Current Idol Yaguchi Mari: I'll protect the staff's smiles! Sake is the best!"
Sake is the best
That's what it says...
(-.-；)
Well, it's true that it is the best
It also says I'm a current idol...
(-.-；)
That doesn't quite feel right...
Oh well, let's just accept it as it is
m(_ _)m
So we had our election like this
The results will come out every Friday at 11:30 at night
I think you'll understand if you watch HowMon
(￣∀￣)
On MXTV
It's got everything from the useful to the useless
And even an enexpected plan to make a movie
Be sure to watch it
(^∀^)ノ
Okay
Time for one more job
_2009-11-04 11:30:20
It's cold ☆
Yeah, it seems like we're really into winter now
It's cold outside
Not that I hate that
I just don't want to get out of bed...
(-.-；)
Gotta get up
Nope, didn't work...
_2009-11-04 17:37:42
Whoa ☆
So busy
We finished one show, and now I'm on the road...
The first show was with Taiyou
I didn't have any time, so I took this photo in the elevator
The next filming starts at 6:00
Hurry
(゜∀゜;ノ)ノ
I wonder... Am I going to make it?
I'm nervous...
_2009-11-04 21:46:16
Fall In Love ☆
Me and Barbie [From the comedy duo "Fall in Love". Watch this if you want to see their attempts at "comedy"]
Yes Fall In Love
There's still more filming to come... ☆
_2009-11-04 23:01:30
3-nin Matsuri ☆
Manabe Kaori
Yuki Maomi
The three of us are doing our best with this quiz
My head...
It went completely blank...
(・o・)ノ
There's still more to come
_2009-11-05 00:56:00
Long ☆
That was a long day
There wasn't time to eat dinner...
My batteries are completely drained
Going to sleep
_2009-11-05 10:02:19
Grrr...
I got up, got my makeup on, and headed out for work
(^∀^)ノ
I'm going to brace myself to face the day.
Alright
(≧∇≦)
I'm tired, but I'll do my best
_2009-11-05 15:15:12
On the road ☆
I just finished a job that seemed like a dream
(￣∀￣)
But there's no time to bask in the memories...
(-.-；)
I've got a big trip to take
With my flu-defences fully up, it's time to go
I'm really not somebody suspicious
Okay, later
_2009-11-05 16:30:56
FF on the Wii ☆
Hang on
(・o・)ノ
Maybe you guys already know this...
But this month
The Final Fantasy series
Is coming out on the Wii
(≧∇≦)
I did know about 13 though
It's called
"Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers"
It's the first time Final Fantasy's been on the Wii, so for a gamer like me, that's happy news
And there's more
You can use the Wii nunchuck to manipulate gravity at your will
And it seems like you can use it during event scenes
It looks like this ↓
Whoa
＼(☆o☆)／
Too much fun
By the way, the TV commercial is really great, and it uses
The time I spent in Nagoya... About one and a half hours
(゜∀゜;ノ)ノ
So fast
A new record
Ha ha ha ha
Also, I did get my work done properly
So, it was just a day trip, and I'm already back in Tokyo (lol)
A miracle (・o・)ノ
At the station
I saw the latest volume of Bokura ga Ita
I read it on the way home
It made me a little sad...
I'm really interested in seeing what happens next
I hope the next volume comes out soon
And then tomorrow
I get to be on NTV's
"Omoikkiri DON!"
(≧∇≦)
Guys
Please be sure to watch it
(^w^)
_2009-11-06 09:55:34
Ichou
Kamiji's Ichou is a really good song
(￣∀￣)
I'll be really going for it today
Be sure to watch Omoikkiri Don!
_2009-11-06 14:43:02
Omoikkiri Don!
Omoikkiri Don
That's the show they invited me onto
(≧∇≦)
There was a quiz and more, so it was really fun
I learnt a lot from it
(^∀^)ノ
Thanks for all the comments
Host Nakayama is really kind, and I've worked with him a lot for years, so that was a relief
Thanks again for today
m(_ _)m
Okay, time for the next job
"...shita Yaguchi Mari"
I'll do my best

"Tunnels no Mina-san no Okage Deshita"
That was a really fun show to record
Yeah, this was a satisfying day
(^∀^)ノ
There's still more to come... And I want to give it my best
(・o・)ノ
But my head hurts a little, so I'll just take a quick break
_2009-11-07 00:15:30
Good job ☆
I worked hard again today
(≧∇≦)
Thud
I'm done...
_2009-11-07 10:55:49
Curling, curling ☆
I got my hair curled up
I'm going to be doing something fun today
But first...
_2009-11-07 16:46:02
Ta da ☆
Today's schedule was no joke
(゜∀゜;ノ)ノ
11:00 - 13:00 at the training centre
13:30 - 14:45 getting my eyelash extensions
I got back all the little eyelashes that had mostly come off
And then
From 15:00 getting my nails done
For work reasons, I got them done simply this time
Okay
So, anyway
I was able to divide my time up between training & maintenance
＼(☆o☆)／
I had to run on the way (lol)
Even though I wasn't working, I was still this busy (lol)
I don't mind
It's like I don't want to waste one minute of my time
Okay, time to move on
(^∀^)ノ
_2009-11-07 23:04:11
Disneyland ☆
Today, I went to Disneyland
(≧∇≦)
I haven't been in ages
I went with...
Akane
Kobe
And, this guy
This guy who was waiting for us at Tokyo Station
Who is it?
(^w^)
Yes
Chris
Today was a girls' day out
(*^o^*)
We rode lots of rides and had a really fun time
This was on the escalator for Space Mountain
While we were there, we had dinner
At Alice's restaurant
Heart-shaped patties
(≧∇≦)
So cute and so tasty
Anyway, going to Disneyland with everyone was great
Yeah, this could become a habit
Now I've got the energy for work tomorrow

Snacks ☆
Today
I was on an episode of
100 Japanese People Who Change the World
(￣∀￣)
Here's how my hair looked from the back
Wearing a ribbon I got just the tips of my hair curled
But my hair is getting so long
I'm happy
And I'm proud to say I haven't really damaged it
Also, Ｏ visited me again today
He said...
"I've got snacks" (lol)
Here
Cheesecake
And
Something like a chocolate mousse
Ｏ's refreshments are always so stylish and tasty
Thank you for that always
m(_ _)m
_2009-11-08 20:38:15
A mysterious creature!?
A mysterious creature has been spotted in the dressing room
(°□°；)
Oh... It's...
It seems to be a parent with a child...
(-.-；)
...That's how I was playing around with chief manager Yama-chan
(≧∇≦)
By the way, I'm wearing a pair of fur scrunchies
(*^o^*)
Okay, sorry to bother you
_2009-11-08 22:42:37
Minnie Mouse ☆
My favourite Minnie Mouse cushion
Ever since I won it from a UFO catcher, I can't feel relaxed without it
”(ノ><)ノ
Maybe I'll hold onto it while I watch a movie now
Oh, but...
(-.-；)
I might fall asleep...
_2009-11-09 11:45:26
Now ☆
I'm starting my work with a narration for Yougaku Style
(^∀^)ノ
Today's horoscope put me in 12th place...
But I'm going to work hard and not let that worry me
(*^o^*)
Don't worry about it
(￣∀￣)
Are you worried about it?
(^。^；)
I'm not worried about it... Maybe.
(-.-；)
12th place...
(ρ＿；)
_2009-11-09 14:44:18
Thai ☆
Yesterday
My stylist Yaginuma gave me this

I love tom yum goong noodles
When I said that, she bought me this
Thank you very much
_2009-11-09 18:39:07
Marumie ☆
Today
At NTV
I was on an episode of...
"Sekai Marumie! TV Tokusoubu"
(*^o^*)
That was fun
It's a little incredible for me to be working with big names like Beat Takeshi and Tokoro George
That's just a silly thought that I had (lol)
Ha ha
(^∀^)ノ
Oh
Sorry
(-.-；)
I just got carried away...
m(_ _)m
There's nothing that special about me.
I'm where I am now thanks to the support of everyone around me
I can't do it all on my own.
With help from so many people, it feels like I rely on them all
I don't think that's ever going to change
So even though I'm just ordinary Yaguchi, please continue to give me your support
_2009-11-09 22:02:07
Thank you ☆
Guys
Thank you so much for your supportive comments
m(_ _)m
I'm so happy
You gave me energy
I can work hard tomorrow
Oh
Tonight I had tan tan noodles
They gave me energy too
But...
I had cup noodles for lunch and noodles for dinner...
It really does seem that I like noodles, doesn't it...
(-.-；)
Well, it's true I do love them...
_2009-11-10 13:42:05
Muji ☆
Yesterday, I wanted a new bed cover, so I went to Muji
And here's what I bought
A brown striped cover
(*^o^*)
It's made of a really warm and comfortable cloth

Announcement!
Finally, the thing I've been itching to tell you all about for so long...
Today, I can tell you...
It's, it's, it's...
It's, it's, it's, it's
Now
I'm getting the chance
To take part in something I'm a huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge fan of
One Piece
By being a voice actor in it
Woooooow
(runs around like mad)
And
It's only a TV anime
But I'll be making a guest appearance on the movie lead-in special
For the December 12 movie...
"Strong World"
Oh yeah
I'm too happy
I'm at a peak right now
Anyway, I was so happy that I wanted to tell you all about it, but I couldn't really...
For complicated reasons...
And today, I took part in the preview screening at the theatre
In front of a tree and a flag
With Luffy's voice actor, Tanaka Mayumi
Takenaka Naoto
And Kaito Aiko
I'm so happy
And the theatre
Everybody called out in a loud voice
One Piece
Yeah, I was really happy
Guys, be sure to watch the lead-in special on TV, then go see the movie in theatres
One Piece is on...
Every Sunday
At 9:30 in the morning
On FujiTV
_2009-11-11 12:10:21
Dubbing ☆
Guys
Thanks for sending so many kind comments
m(_ _)m
For me, this is like a dream job
I was nervous doing the dubbing for One Piece, but it was a really happy time for me
I had to do the recording at the same time as everyone else, and I didn't want to screw up... So I practiced a lot at home
(*^o^*)
Anyway, they were all really nice, and they taught me a lot as a new voice actor
Kappei, who plays Usopp
Hirata, who plays Sanji
Hirata has a really grim face for some reason (lol)
But those two were really funny and kind
I learnt a lot from them
Thank you very much
m(_ _)m
I'm playing a girl named Yoko
Sigh... I hope it gets broadcast soon
I can't wait
Please look forward to it too, guys
By the way, I'm email buddies with Tanaka Mayumi now
(*^o^*)
I love her
I am so happy
Heh heh heh...
_2009-11-11 14:21:23
Rainy day...
The rain sucks, huh...
p(´⌒｀q)
On days like that, you just want to do something to have a little bit of fun
And so
I came up with a plan to raise my spirits by wearing some cute boots
Ta da
Aren't they cute, with those heels!?
And ribbons
(*^o^*)
It'll be easy to match these with my outfits
Here's how they look from the front
I bought them from an accessory shop, so unfortunately I don't know who made them...
But there are lots of cute boots on sale now, so please go out and find a pair that looks good on you to help lift your gloomy feelings from the rain
(^∀^)ノ
Okay, until later
_2009-11-11 16:54:32
A day of dance ☆
For some reason, I'm dancing today
Dancing

It's chopper ☆
A fan gave me something
It's a cover for my DS
Look Look

It's Chopper
So cute
(*^o^*)
Here's how it looks when you open it up
It's so cute I could just die
I'll make good use of it
Thank you so much
(￣∀￣)
Anyway
I had some spare time, so I came home for about an hour... Now it's back to work
I'll do my best
_2009-11-12 11:33:33
Still...
I'm still rolling around
Nacchi was just on Omoikkiri Pon! earlier
(￣∀￣)
She was so cute
I wonder what I should do today
I'll just lie around for a little longer
_2009-11-12 14:48:10
Mother and sister ☆
I'm going shopping with my mother and my sister for the first time in ages
Once again, I'm looking for clothes today
(*^o^*)
I wonder if it'll be crowded
_2009-11-12 16:44:51
Halfway through...
Halfway through our trip, we had something to eat (lol)
I had
The cow's tongue and mugitoro set
It was really tasty
I love mugitoro
(^∀^)ノ
And then
My mother had
The stew and mugitoro set
It looked good, bubbling away like that
And then
My sister had...
Hm?
(・_・)?
Salad and soup
That's all!?
(°□°；)
I thought she was on a diet...
But she said she's just hungover (lol)
(-.-；)
She's a lot like me in that way...
We really are sisters (lol)
Don't worry about it.
_2009-11-12 19:00:26
I'm white...
The flash was too bright...
I have no eyebrows...
It's a little scary...
(-.-；)
I'm about to leave my mother and sister, then head to a certain place
(^∀^)ノ
Heh heh
_2009-11-12 22:09:29
Shine On! Housewife Band! ☆
Today, we went to see our beloved boss
Nakazawa Yuu-chan, at her stage play
(￣∀￣)
At Le Theatre Ginza
"Shine On Housewife Band"
Yuu-chan was working so, so hard
For her first time playing drums, she looked so cool...
I was really touched
Damn, she made me cry

There really is something special about that woman
Just what you'd expect from her

Yakuza 4 ☆
More happy news
I'm gamer Yaguchi
But this time
I'm
Going to be
In a game I love
"Yakuza 4: Successor of the Legend"
They're letting me make an appearance in it
Yaaaaaay
Clap, clap, clap, clap
I'm... so happy
I'll be appearing as a therapist named "Mari" who works at the massage parlour "Love In Heart"
So, here's my alter ego in CG form
Wowwwwww
CG is so amazing
I look so incredibly stylish there...
Thank you very much
It seems like there's a swimsuit version too (lol)
The lines were pretty sexy, so my face was bright red while I was recording them
So anyway, today was the unveiling of the completed product
Seeing the finished version of me was really surprising
She was really moving around smoothly
There were photos, interviews, and even an interview in the dressing room
I got a photo with model Mori Maya
Mori is also going to be appearing in the game as a cabaret girl
I can't wait to see
And finally, a photo with designer Nagoshi
He's so intense he could be a character in Yakuza, but he's also really kind and great
Thank you so much for giving me this chance
So anyway, Yakuza 4 comes out next spring
When I've got more details, I'll post them in this blog
I'm glad I got to tell you all another thing I've been wanting to let you know about
_2009-11-13 19:59:55
A break with Mikitty ☆
With my hair put up in a bun, I had an interview
For Yamada Denki's
"LABI Magazine"
And after that...
I had a meeting for a certain job
It seems like I'm back in motion again
This one's another secret for now
But it's a job I'm really excited about
I think I'll be able to tell you soon, so look forward to it
(*^o^*)
And then, since my head was hurting from having my hair up for so long, I went to the office to have Shimako put it down, and while I was waiting around there
(￣∀￣)
Mikitty
It seems she was there for an interview too
She thought I looked pitiful eating quietly by myself, so when her interview was over, she came over to join me
She's so thoughtful... ☆
And then, we had a meal together
(^∀^)ノ
Please be sure to check out her blog, too
She's been talking a lot about married life
It makes me long for a wonderful relationship like those two have
