Tell me your stories from Maachan's handshake events! [REQUESTED TRANSLATION]

I hear she often refuses to shake hands (laughs)

3: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 21:23:28.65 0
She was singing when I entered the booth, or was dancing ballet - Maachan wotas enjoy boasting the kinds of rare Maachan activities they witnessed

Like hiding under the table

5: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 21:25:42.12 0
People tell me the hard part is getting a handshake in the first place


6: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 21:25:44.25 P
I'm sort of interested
Would want to try once (laughs)

7: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 21:26:04.28 O
I changed her from oshi when she said "I want to pee!"

Really... (shocked and scared)

9: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 21:27:07.67 0
Matomedashi for Maachan is meaningless (laughs)
*Matomedashi: using multiple handshake tickets to be at the booth longer

12: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 21:28:43.64 0
She was dancing Brainstorming or somewhat, and said "Do you want to dance, too?"

14: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 21:29:49.22 0
I asked her to do the smug face, she said nooo and gave me a sulky look

17: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 21:32:19.70 0
The first time I went, she looked at me with really sad eyes

52: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:18:05.30 0
>>17
Me too, it wasn't the individual event but she looked really troubled - what is it...

25: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 21:44:07.20 0
There are too many cases where she's stirring around under the desk, but what is she doing exactly?

29: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 21:49:00.42 0
Don't you complain to the staff that you can't get a handshake?

30: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 21:50:06.82 0
Well we all go there to do a biological research on Maachan

31: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 21:50:39.55 0
The manager is watching over Maachan's handshake event

36: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:01:15.92 0
The difference between when she's high and when she's low is incredible

37: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:01:16.46 0
It's about time we gather the strategies for Maachan's handshake
The first step being how to capture her attention

41: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:06:15.95 0
>>37
Do not use Konchikuwa

42: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:08:53.31 0
>>41
I really want to do Konchikuwa, but it's no good?
What happens if I say it?

47: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:13:44.61 0
>>42
It depends, but it seems like it's basically only Maachan that's allowed to say it (laughs)

54: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:18:19.69 0
Cats' play toys may be effective (laughs)

I'm bringing one next time (laughs)

62: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:21:41.07 0
Maybe the wota before me did some kind of a good joke, but she was so high when I entered the room, and was just jumping up and down while shaking hands without speaking
So I had no choice but to also jump up and down, and that was it

65: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:23:07.01 0
She's so amiable when she's not so busy and you see her from the corridor

68: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:24:46.16 0
Why do you look at me with such scared eyes, Maachan

74: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:28:30.29 O
There must have been wotas that took out Chikuwa from their pockets and was given a sour face

76: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:31:49.88 0
>>74
Would wotas like that exist? (laughs)

78: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:36:21.22 0
You have her ask you the favorite tree (ki), and you reply "Masaki-!"
She said she's tired of hearing that so don't do it

81: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 22:41:52.43 0
I got the permission from the staff and let her see my iPhone's photo, and she flipped the page. I was sincerely relieved that it wasn't any "strange" photos

This may be some kind of a joke, but I saw someone posting that a wota asked her about what's in the pocket of the wktk costume, she pulled the pocked wide and showed the wota what's inside - and some cleavage too

95: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 23:44:12.51 0
I remember she did show me the pocket once (laughs)

97: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/01(月) 23:56:04.76 O
I saw many posts about her playing around with the strings in the Kimisae- "mop" costume

101: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 00:56:31.75 0
I said "You've reached 100 stage performances! I've been to all of them." to each of the 10ki members. Iikubo, Ishida, Kudo looked surprised (not sure what they really thought inside their heart, but anyway).
Maachan asked me calmly "How is the 10ki improving?" and that really surprised me (laughs)

103: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 00:59:57.86 0
>>101You're amazing too, but
Maachan is AMAAAAAZING (laughs)

Most surprising thing this year

102: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 00:59:08.57 0
She sometimes has the "sage mode" switch on suddenly (laughs)

104: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 01:00:36.01 0
She has the switch on when you talk to her about the performances

*Kesalan Patharan: White imaginary? fluff thingy.
See Hello! Project DVD MAGAZINE Vol.33

@romisuuu
Me: Hello.
Maachan: Ye-s (Doesn't look at me)
Me: Um... do you know that Kesalan Patharans give birth?
Maachan: Hum... (Still doesn't look at me)

I'm freaked at this point already (laughs)

Me: My Kesalan Patharan gave birth.
Maachan: ...to a baby?

And the staff removes me, I walk away - that's when Maachan quickly...

Maachan: Wait a moment!!!

I was out the corridor already, I look back.
Maachan comes running to the exit.

Maachan: Does it mean storks comes to Kesalan Patharans too?
Me: Y-yes, they do.

WTF that is cuuute!! Storks come visiting---!

109: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 01:06:48.67 0
You go dressed as Kesalan Patharans and she might be pleased

@little_temple
Maachan said she hasn't eaten and was going "I'm hungry---", so I said the event goes to the eighth round. She was shocked and was like "E...Eight...." and had her head down on the desk

113: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 01:12:00.63 0
Cute

118: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 01:27:10.54 0
I like this report (laughs)

I wasn't able to talk to my oshi and was depressed, and entered Maachan's booth without much preparation. Maachan seemed to be interested in the bag I was holding, and started checking my bag, putting conversations aside. "This doesn't look like a bag" "Looks like a painting". Seeing Maachan like that, my depressed mood went away and was able to talk to the rest of the members well

This post tells me that the stakes are high:
> 662 名前:名無し募集中。。。[] 投稿日:2013/07/01(月) 00:11:55.22 0
I went in with such a "high tension" and said Konchikuwa-!!! when entering the booth, but Maachan just showed me the way in silently with her hands. I was embarrassed to death

131: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 02:16:59.17 P
I finished my handshake with another member, and walked passed Maachan's booth. Maachan wasn't there, the staff had his hands on the table, looking deeply crestfallen

132: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 02:21:42.80 0

Is this true? (laughs)

I can see the picture clearly (laughs)

135: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 02:26:03.20 0
I've seen when all the wotas were playing Rock-Paper-Scissors with her, and the manager scolded them to do handshakes

138: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 02:48:04.03 0
>>135
We've been there so many times so it would be okay without handshakes for us though (laughs) It's more of the conversations we want

139: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 03:14:36.87 0
I said "Konchikuwa", and she replied "Konchikuwa, thank you very much" and thanked me for some reason

140: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 03:17:14.12 0
She's adorable

I don't get to see much of it though

I'm so interested now
I'd like to give it a try

You want one girl of this kind in Musume (laughs)

170: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 14:06:16.36 0
Some just can't endure her reactions... I'm okay, as I enjoy whatever that happens when I go (laughs)

171: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 14:09:20.74 O
She's like a spell with totally random effects

175: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 18:35:12.94 O
She gives you math questions abruptly

178: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 18:38:36.17 0
She gets out of the seat when she sees the chance, just like office workers going out for a smoke. The staffs must be having a hard time

172: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 15:43:51.15 0
Maybe because I only went once, but she was just smiling and did a proper handshake. I was kind of looking forward to what might happen

180: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 18:58:01.76 0
Maachan is "Activity Exhibition"
Just like the seals at Asahiyama zoo
They look at you by chance

Me: You're bored of handshakes today, right? (laughs)
Masaki: I think I'm doing too much handshakes
Me: Yeah. Will you be okay tomorrow?
Masaki: *looking worried* Maybe not...
Me: You've got more tickets than today (laughs)
Masaki: Well, it's okay, but I won't have anything to say... *sour face*

Wouldn't this be a good conversation?
I'm actually jealous to be able to talk like that

192: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 21:50:18.83 0
I went on Sunday and told her I saw the TV yesterday, she said "Thank you" in a very ordinary manner. Feeling deflated

193: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/02(火) 22:49:40.27 P
30th was relatively normal I hear

199: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/03(水) 01:49:46.07 O
>>192
When I asked her, she told me she never watches any TV shows she's been on

220: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/03(水) 19:16:43.45 P
I was out of the booth, and heard Maachan's voice so I looked back. Without seeing the next wota, she was sticking her tongue out at me

221: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/03(水) 19:35:00.61 0
What on Earth did you do (laughs)

230: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/03(水) 21:41:54.10 P
>>220
I don't know, it was my last ticket so the mystery is still unsolved (laughs)

218: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/03(水) 18:47:22.66 0
I didn't experience this myself, but I was looking at Maachan's booth while getting out from another booth, she was jumping with her arms and legs flung out

222: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/03(水) 20:00:51.29 O
She started looking at me before I entered the booth, leaving the current wota that's doing the handshake aside. I didn't know what she wanted to do, and entered the booth feeling sorry for the wota before me. As I entered, she was trying hiding near the wall.
I had no idea what she was doing at the time, but I saw the other members' blog about playing tag and I realized she wanted to play hide-and-seek

224: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/03(水) 20:02:56.74 O
She takes playing tag very seriously, puts her life into it

225: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/03(水) 20:08:04.11 0
It's fun to watch as long as you're not the ones directly involved

226: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/03(水) 20:14:02.63 P
I am confident that I will not be able to respond properly if she's dancing on my turn

234: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/04(木) 07:15:44.75 P
I've never seen her do the dance at these events, so I'm thinking it's an urban myth

236: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/04(木) 07:53:46.51 0
So how much of this thread is true? (laughs)

237: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/04(木) 09:02:53.31 0
It's true that she sometimes ignores the wotas, jumping up and down

244: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/04(木) 17:00:12.01 O
It's like having Maachan judge the things we do

245: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/04(木) 18:14:50.91 0
Me: Hi, Maachan.
Maa: Hello!
Me: I'm always cheering for you, good luck!
Maa: Thank you very much.
It was a decent conversation, but somehow I was really depressed

248: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/04(木) 18:45:33.50 P
>>245
Must have been a rare occasion, but I'm not feeling jealous (laughs)

265: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/05(金) 13:39:04.08 0
It's actually easy because you don't have to prepare things to say when you go to Maachan's handshake

266: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/05(金) 17:18:49.76 0
Yeah, you just play with her without thinking at all (laughs)

267: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/05(金) 18:18:06.45 O
Really? I personally prepare the most for Maa... though they turn out to be quite meaningless in the end (laughs)

268: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/05(金) 18:48:10.62 P
The moment she sees me with the blank expression my plans are all wiped out. If I go like 3 times on the same day, she remembers my face and she's not so rigid anymore (laughs)

271: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/05(金) 22:43:02.36 P
I envy you guys for being able to do fun handshakes with Maachan

274: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/06(土) 02:42:56.63 O
I don't know when she learned them but she was singing Jingisukan from Berryz and Dance de Bakoon from Cute. With a jazzy groove for some reason

275: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/06(土) 02:50:45.35 0
The members that are good for wotas who have a hard time starting a conversation, is Iikubosan who can start a conversation from her side, and Maachan who is just fun to watch

276: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/06(土) 05:42:25.65 0
I've haven't been to events many times, and haven't had a time when she started a conversation - what kind of topics do you talk about?

305: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/07(日) 02:01:19.76 0
>>276
Well she sees your clothes and says things like "Nice clothes" or "Do you like ~ and ~ ?" and that kind of stuff. In the former pattern, if you go on a humble tone, her flattering starts "You have great taste" like 5 seconds

282: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/06(土) 14:46:40.09 0
Maachan is unpredictable...

Don't anticipate, feel!

284: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/06(土) 18:34:12.53 0
The best solution is to go without thinking too much, as if you're the one doing the handshake with a child

285: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/06(土) 18:36:24.67 0
If you say "Maachan can you shake hands with me" and get your right hand out, does she do a handshake?

286: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/06(土) 18:52:31.49 0
If it's your first time, just get your hand out normally, and you'll be able to shake hands

287: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/06(土) 18:55:46.13 0
If I sing "Kayowaki otomewo nakashicha ikenai" and twirling inside, will she react? (laughs)

288: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/06(土) 19:22:17.59 0
I didn't twirl around, but I sang that part and she said "Yes." If you give her compliments, she gets shy and won't give you much reactions. If you sing, she sometimes laughs and will give you a lot of different reactions

  1. Maa-chan would be really scary for a first handshake event... I'd probably have to work up to her booth, save the unpredictable for last. The first booth would probably have to be Sayumi since she's a 10-year pro. She'd give a good example for how the events are suppose to go. Then my oshi, Eripon, she'd show me the future of the handshake events. ♥ And then some some light and easy conversation with Haruna. What an eventful day that would be...

  2. so... maachan handshake event was more like a surprise maachan activity for the wota, the event was unpredictable as ever, lol.. they should put some sign at her booth saying " Danger : weak spirited wota beware "....

  3. Maa-chan the unexpected. She's really has unique character. has cute character when in good mood, and cool character when she's in bad mood...

  4. Maa-chan is one of my favorites! But I would also like to see some translations of what Japanese fans think of Sakura. She's new but is very talented. I'm excited! I wonder if they are too

  6. I agree with #36. Her mood swings ... so much. So far I've handshake with Maachan 20 times and they were all .... "different" LoL :D

    I love reading Maahan's threads. They're really interesting to read
    She's so unique. I prefer having those experiences with her to shaking her hand ~

  9. It's really hard to try to apprehend who or what is Maachan.
    Can you help with her last blog post, because it's really confusing http://ameblo.jp/morningmusume-10ki/entry-11579388081.html She wrote about beer, harunan and adulthood, but altogether it makes no sense at all.

  10. These were very enjoyable. Thanks for post/translation.
    I haven't been to Japan since I fell in love with momusu (3 years since Japan, 2 years as a momusu fan). I resolve to go and see a concert and go to an event like this. I wonder what reaction a muscular gaijin would get from Maa-chan...
