Hellhello project america

Yesterday ☆

After work, I met up with Komoto

(^w^)

And he said...

"It's a little early, but... "

Then he gave me a birthday dessert

(*^o^*)



Wow

It looks so good

With so much apple pie, ice cream, fruit, and more, it was so tasty

(≧∇≦)

Thank you so much, Komoto

m(_ _)m

Going out ☆



I had the day off today, but I stayed home playing Mario all day long (lol)

(」゜□゜)」

I'm finally going out now

La la la

(*^o^*)

I'm hungry







_2010-01-14 23:21:42

Happy ☆

I had another early birthday today

(*^o^*)



All of a sudden, they brought out a cake

(◎o◎)

It seems like I'm getting surprised every day

Dinner was



Sukiyaki

It was so good

And then

There was a chocolate cake

(≧∇≦)



"Mari-chan"

(゜∀゜;ノ)ノ

That's a little embarrassing...

These are the members that celebrated my early birthday with me



Akane

Chris

Kobe

The usual members

( ̄∀ ̄)



Anyway, there's still some time before my birthday (lol)

But thanks






_2010-01-15 10:00:07

Okay ☆



I'm going to a location shoot now

(*^o^*)

Today I'm sporting a necktie-style

Somehow, I like neckties







_2010-01-15 13:38:48

Haneru no Tobira ☆

Today

We filmed an episode of Haneru no Tobira

(≧∇≦)



It was so much fun

(^◇^)┛

And while I was there, I was able to get a photo with somebody really famous

It's him



Takeya D

(≧∇≦)

He's already a regular on HaneTobi

(^w^)

When I asked him

"Can I take a photo with you?"

He gently repiled

"Okay."

Wow, a photo with Takeya D isn't something you'd normally be able to get

It'll be a special treasure for me









_2010-01-15 16:15:48

A lookalike ☆





See Yaguchi Mari's Booshka

Yagu and me...

Lately we've been looking the same

...That's not what I meant

I mean, the khaki coat that Yagu-booshka is wearing looks like mine

Hm...

I guess...

Maybe we do look the same, when he wears that coat

Oh well (lol)






_2010-01-15 22:06:24

Second place!



Oh

I took that photo wearing the coat that looks like Yagu-booshka's

But never mind that now

(」゜□゜)」

Guys

Yaguchi Mari to Straw Hat's single

"Kaze wo Sagashite"

It's now at number two on the daily charts

Yaaay

(≧∇≦)

I don't know where it is on Oricon yet, but I'm really happy

Thank you so much

m(_ _)m

When I think about how many people are listening to it, I get so happy, tears come to my eyes

(ρ_;)

Every time I release a single, the pressure and the feeling of responsiblity make me feel like I'm going to be crushed...

So even though releasing a CD fills me with all kinds of happiness, it also comes with feelings of uncertainty...

The moment I find out so many people are listening to it, all that uncertainty disappears in a flash.

And then I'm just full of joy and happiness

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart

For me, Kaze wo Sagashite is a really important song, and when I get so much power when I sing it

And I'll sing it with all my heart, to try and send you all the power of the song

So please listen to it and enjoy it a lot

m(_ _)m

I still haven't relaxed... But since I feel a little more confident now, I think I'd like to have some curry at home to unwind

New Year's Cards ☆



Last night ☆

I spent a long time under the kotatsu, slowly and carefully reading all of your New Year's cards to me

( ̄∀ ̄)

There were around 300

(◎o◎)

I've never received that many New Year's cards before in my life

(Obviously...)

(^ _ ^;)

Anyway, I was really happy

I read them carefully, one by one...

The messages were so kind

I was touched

Between the New Year's cards and all the comments from yesterday, you all gave me so much

I was really moved by it all

Thank you so much for always sending me such great words

m(_ _)m

Okay

I'm going to work hard again today

(^∀^)ノ







_2010-01-16 16:15:47

Charm ☆

At the beginning of the year, fellow Yaguchi Mari to Straw Hat member Shinagawa gave me

This

(*^o^*)



From Sarume Shrine

A show business charm

(≧∇≦)

It seems like these charms are really good

I carry it around with me in my bag every day

To the God of Show Business

I pray this will be another fulfilling year

Thank you very much

m(_ _)m







_2010-01-16 18:53:43

Sorry...

My manager posted the wrong photo in an earlier entry...

[Which was already corrected by the time we translated it]

m(_ _)m

It's been fixed, so please go back and check it



Now, this is what I wore for today's show

Okay, now it's time for a meeting

(^∀^)ノ







_2010-01-16 22:17:06

Cookie ☆



A sleeping Cookie

Sleep tight on my lap ☆

So cute

(*^o^*)






_2010-01-17 13:05:53

Let's see...

Hi.

Yaguchi Mari is almost 27 now.



Before getting my makeup done, Shimako and I were reading silently...

(=゜-゜)(=。_。)

Hm... Hm...

"Oh, this is great "

"They have patterns like this now "

"Looks good "

That's the kind of conversation that started up.

(・_・)?

And what we were reading was...

Something Shimako had bought



Zexy

\(☆o☆)/

Y: "Shimako, when did you get married!?"

S: "No, no... I just wanted to read it "

Y: "Huh?"

S: "I mean, I saw a commerical for it, and I got interested "

Y: "No, no, no... You're funny (lol)"

She says it's going to be her favourite book for 2010

Keep on fighting, Shimako

(*^o^*)

But...



That special edition is huge.

We're all checking it out







_2010-01-17 16:05:27

Bouquet ☆

Today

We're filming an episode of...

"100 Japanese People Who Change the World"

(^∀^)ノ

And today's refreshment from O was...

It was



A bouquet

(≧∇≦)

So cute

And if you look closely...

It's not made of flowers



It's candy

(*^o^*)

When you hold it like that, it looks like a real bouquet

But if you look from above...



White heart chocolates

It really is cute

\(☆o☆)/

Thank you as always, O

m(_ _)m

Apparently it's from a shop called Chocolatier Erica






_2010-01-17 21:15:48

New Year's Party ☆



We're having a New Year's party for the show






_2010-01-17 22:40:00

Whoa ☆

Today

We had a New Year's party for...

"100 Japanese People Who Change the World"

(^∀^)ノ

And once again, there was a surprise cake



They brought out a really huge cake

(≧∇≦)

I was really happy

But there were so many candles...

(-.-;)

It was hard to blow them all out with one breath (lol)

Well, there were 27 of them

Anyway, thank you everybody

m(_ _)m

Tomorrow I'll show you more of the exciting New Year's party we had

o(^ - ^)o

Good night ☆







_2010-01-18 12:42:46

That was fun ☆☆☆

Yesterday's New Year's party

It was pretty fun

We had a fun time with all the regulars and staff from "100 Japanese People"

(*^o^*)



Mimura, holding my birthday cake and looking like a little boy

(^w^)



Himura, with a macaron stuck to his head like a Japanese flag

(lol)

After that, a battle naturally began for who could take the photo with the best atmosphere to it

The first one



Mimura and me

Hm... It just looks like a father and daughter playing around...

(-.-;)

Next, number two



Himura and me

It looks like a woman serving a customer at night... like an act (lol)

(-o-;)

And then, number three



Shitara and announcer Matsumaru

Oh

Even though they were posing for a photo, Shitara looks natural and Matsumaru looks shy, so this one has the best atmosphere

So with that kind of playing around, the time just flew past

Anyway, I'd like to work with the regular guests and staff to create a great "100 Japanese People" again this year

Please give us your support forever

m(_ _)m






_2010-01-18 15:40:25

Baby ☆

Yesterday

On "World's Greatest TV Zoo"

I met

A baby St. Bernard



So tiny

And sleeping

So cute

(*^o^*)

When he grows up, he's going to be bigger than me

(◎o◎)

That's shocking

Grow up to be big and strong







_2010-01-18 17:10:30

Ha ha ha ☆



We're recording Red Carpet <

(^∀^)ノ







_2010-01-19 10:05:42

Oricon Charts ☆



We did it

Thanks to all of your support

Yaguchi Mari to Straw Hat's

"Kaze wo Sagashite"

Debuted on the Oricon chart

At number two

Yay

(≧∇≦)

I'm so happy

Really

Really

Really

Thank you so much

m(_ _)m

I know that rankings aren't everything, but it still makes me happy

And the people around me are happy too

Casius Shimada, Kobe, the staff at Hexagon, the staff around me, the Straw Hat members

And all the people listening to Kaze wo Sagashite

I'm truly grateful to you all, from the bottom of my heart

I turn 27 tomorrrow, but this has become an unbeatably wonderful birthday present for me

I'm happy

I can't say it enough times...

Really

Thank you very much

m(_ _)m








_2010-01-19 13:31:54

Sleepy...

Today

We're recording...

"How to Monkey Baby!"

(^∀^)ノ

We were playing baseball at the batting centre all morning

That was fun

(≧∇≦)

After all that activity and a meal, of course I'm tired...

(-.-)zzZ



So sleepy.

Ah...

I can't hold on...

m(_ _)m







_2010-01-19 18:52:59

Girl ☆



I got my hair done up in a girly style

A carefree, 26-year-old Yaguchi Mari (lol)

Ha ha

(`∇´

There's still more filming to do






_2010-01-19 21:09:16

Yay Presents ☆

The staff at How to Monkey Baby! gave me a bunch of early birthday presents

First, a birthday present from the wonderful and easy-going makeup artist, K



Sabon bath powder and body oil

The vanilla scent is really nice

(*^o^*)

I love Sabon, so I was happy

Thank you very much

Next, a present from the idol-like K



A cute eyemask and a sparkly container with perfume in it

So cute

I'll make good use of them

(*^o^*)

With a message card from K attached to it



The contents are a secret

It was a nice card filled with lots of love

Next, a present from the kind and skilled director, I



One Piece

Three art collections from Oda Eiichiro

(≧∇≦)

I'm so happy

I'll look through each of them carefully at home

(◎o◎)

And then, a present from the calming and relaxed T



One Piece mugs

And the three mugs together make a kind of puzzle

It seems a waste to use them...

I'll use them as an interior decoration (lol)

And then, a present from the super nice S from Aniplex



A Bleach DVD

And Higepiyo DVDs

(≧∇≦)

I'm so happy

Because we've worked together for five years, they all know my interests really well, so there were lots of things that made me happy

I can really feel the love

There's still more, so I'll show you later

(^∀^)ノ






_2010-01-20 01:07:18

27 Years Old ☆

I turned 27

I did it

(^∀^)ノ



At today's How to Monkey Baby! New Year's party, they held a birthday party for me at the same time

The candy house was really cute



It was my birthday, but for some reason...

I ended up dancing and singing...

"Kaze wo Sagashite"

and

"Renai Revolution 21" (lol)

(゜∀゜;ノ)ノ



Anyway, laughing and being surrounded by so many people made me realise that I really am a lucky person

I hope that my 27th year will also be filled with fun and happiness to the end ☆

Guys, please give the 27-year-old Yaguchi Mari your support too

m(_ _)m







_2010-01-20 13:48:15

I'm thankful ☆



Guys

Thank you very much for all the birthday comments

m(_ _)m

I say it all the time, but I'm really a lucky person

I got birthday emails from my friends, from the other members, and from people at work, but I'm still too busy to reply to them

And the first thing that met me at age 27 was...

The training centre (lol)

Time is running out for the term, so I'm in a hurry...

It's my birthday, but I'm studying hard at the training centre... (lol)

Anyway, I'm busy

I need to get my nails fixed for work, so I'll be at the nail salon right up until work starts

Whoa

\(☆o☆)/

There's no time

Well, that's pretty much how my birthday's going







_2010-01-20 21:18:51

At the office ☆

Today I had editing work for my director's job, and a meeting for a certain big project

In between that, my manager Kacchan said...

"There's a bit of free time, so let's wait at the office."

So...

I had to go to the office.

Inside my head:

(Nobody told me I have any free time...)

That's what I was thinking when...

(-.-;)

Just then...

Suddenly...

"Kaze wo Sagashite"

Started playing

I heard the staff yell out "Happy birthday " and the sound of party poppers

"You really surprised me"

(◎o◎)

That's what I yelled out

They all attacked me with presents

To all the staff

Thank you so much for giving me a suprise party, even when you're all so busy

m(_ _)m

It really gave me a warm feeling

To be honest, I was on the verge of tears

But it was embarrassing, so I managed to choke them back (lol)



I'm getting annoying by saying this all the time...

But I'm a lucky person

You get it already?

Hm... But...

I might still say it...

(^w^)






_2010-01-21 12:59:38

Blessed ☆

Yesterday my beloved Natsukawa Jun threw me a birthday party

To everybody who came

Thank you so much

m(_ _)m

And thank you very much to Jun

Here's how yesterday's cake looked



Isn't it great?

Anyway, that made more than 10 birthday cakes in one week.

I think this may have been the most people who have ever celebrated it.

So many people smiling and kindly congratulating just one person...

It reminded me of just how lucky I am

And it really made me feel that I live with support from so many people.

I realused that I'm surrounded by a lot of really kind people.

I'm blessed

Even when I'm feeling sad... Just thinking about all the warm people around me, it helps me to get through it.

First of all, I'm grateful to my father and mother

Thank you so much for always loving me for 27 years and raising me up to be healthy!

I'll keep counting on you until I get married (lol)

In exchange for that, I'll pay you back big time, so look forward to that.

And to everyone else

All your comments and letters and presents made me truly happy.

Thank you very much

You guys are all a big help to me too.

Please continue to support me as I love drinking, roll around, and do fun things into my 27th year

m(_ _)m







_2010-01-21 16:02:46

This is amazing ☆

I got an amazing present from Famitsu, who have let me have a regular column since last April

Here it is



Hm?

(・_・)

It looks like Famitsu...

But if you look closely

"Yagutsu"

Whoa

\(☆o☆)/

Wow

(゜∀゜;ノ)ノ

It seems like G, the guy from Famitsu that I work with a lot, went to the effort of making this in his busy schedule

I'm so happy

(≧∇≦)

And the inside is amazing too




The editors did a Cross Review of me

(^O^)

Thank you so much

And it has every one of my regular "I'm a Gamer." columns collected in it




And the last page even has the release date for the next Yagutsu

It'll be on January 20, 2011



So impressive

Anyway, it was so amazing that I've been completely entranced looking through it

Everybody at Famitsu

Let's continue to work well together in the future

And guys, please keep on checking out my regular "I'm a Gamer." column in Famitsu

(^∀^)ノ







_2010-01-21 19:24:29

Kaiketsu Emi-Channel ☆



Today in Osaka

I was on an episode of...

"Kaiketsu Emi-Channel"

Once again, there were a lot of laughs today

It really was funny

ε=(>ε<*)

I got a photo with the other guests



Takeda Kouhei
Age 24

The members of Haraichi
Both age 23

And Yaguchi Mari
Age 27

Huh

I'm the oldest one...

(°□°;)

Nooooooo

But because Takeda looks so young, Haraichi look like old men (lol)

Sorry, Haraichi...

There are a lot of people with unknown ages in show business...

By the way, how old do I look?






_2010-01-21 23:21:41

Bath, bath ☆



I'm going to take a bath now, then go to bed right away, since I'm getting up early tomorrow

Good night ☆






_2010-01-22 06:28:22

Good morning ☆



Tired...

Still dark out...

Time to go.






_2010-01-22 15:45:28

Cosplay Yaguchi ☆

Whoa

I wore it

(゜∀゜;ノ)ノ

27 years old, and wearing a school uniform...



Oh

I never thought I'd be wearing a school uniform at this age (lol)

But...

But, but, but...

I'm really happy

(*^o^*)

It's something that girls always want to wear, no matter what their age

A school uniform

But at least

Since this morning

We've been filming for a...

"Securities Knowledge Learning Project DVD"

(^∀^)ノ

It'll be used as a teaching aide



I'm at a dumpling shop for some reason (lol)

(≧∇≦)

I've been acting in it while learning a lot about securities too

There's more cosplay to come, so stay tuned

(^w^)






_2010-01-22 20:55:46

CosYagu 2



In the daytime, I went to the park in a school uniform for some filming

※ Note ※
This ride wasn't in the scene.

※ Note ※
I just wanted to play on it.

※ Note ※
The person riding on it really is an adult.

And then for the second half, I let down my hair that had been up in a bun all that time



That moment

I couldn't help it...

And then...

Change

\(☆o☆)/



Hm?

You can't really tell from this photo

(?_?)

Then how about this?



Yes

I'm dressed like a reporter

(*^o^*)

And the location was...

Unbelievable

It was the actual Tokyo Stock Exchange

(◎o◎)

Whoa

My first time there

It was a really amazing place

I was so nervous there, I tensed right up

Anyway, today was a really good experience for me in so many ways

(*^o^*)

And the filming is still continuing... ☆

※ Note ※

The cosplay continues too... (lol)

(^w^)







_2010-01-22 23:55:45

CoYa 3

I made the title too short (lol)

Here's the final cosplay...



On a stakeout...

(」゜□゜)」

An old-fashioned, cliched detective



Yeah, I look weak...

Actually, under the coat I was wearing men's clothes... So it was baggy



I look even weaker...

But that suit was huge

Yeah, I'm a real detective

[Mari uses a pun here; "deka" means both "huge" and "detective"]

Sorry.

m(_ _)m
