■ Mariah's Charmbracelet Replica



MariahのCBと同じレプリカが限定生産５００個で売られるようです。が、しかしこれ果たしてNewな情報なのかちょっと疑問。このニュースは今年の５月にこのサイトで告知され、詳しく見てみるとなんとなく締め切り日？っぽい字で「２００３年６月３０日止」っという文字が書かれてるんですが（爆）もしかしたらもうすでに受け付けも終わり買えない可能性高いかもしれません。欲しい方は直接東京３店に問い合わせてみてください。ちなみに値段は$120という事でシルバーでこのCBなら手頃だね！高いのは送料だね。ってかツアーグッズ売り場で販売してよって感じ。ここのSilver4は以前Glitterの時もネックレスがレプリカで発売されていました。何かMariahと関わりがある店なのでしょうか。

■ Mariah's Vegas Gamble Pays Off

I had a feeling this was going to be something special. I was right.
Mariah Carey kicked off her American tour last night at the Colosseum
in Caesar's Palace, the same place where Celine Dion is installed as
the regular performer, and she hit a grand-slam home run.

With a controlled, powerful belting instrument of a voice, Carey put to
rest all past intimations of stage fright or uncertainty.

Her one-hour, forty-five minute performance of her hit songs - in front
of a sold out to the last seat room - was so confident I almost
couldn't believe she was the same person.

Carey's choice of this "intimate" - all terms being relative, the
Colosseum seats about 4,000 - setting, reflects (besides a tough summer
for selling tickets) a real sensibility about her spectacular voice.

She is front and center for most of the show, with about a dozen
dancers and backup singers discreetly interwoven into the action. But
unlike some other young divettes who cover their lack of singing
ability with stage traffic, Carey is out there by herself.

She rarely uses one of those new-fangled headset microphones. Instead
she grips her hand mike as if it were a baseball bat while she
commandingly sings every one of her hits - from "Dreamlover" to "Vision
of Love" to the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" - with heretofore unknown
authority. Who knew she could do it? And who knew she could do it
wearing a series of skimpy micro-miniskirts that show off hard-as-rock
thighs worthy of the Valkyries?

Carey's Vegas show marked her return to the U.S. after a month in Asia
preparing the show and fine-tuning it. The plan worked. She made her
entrance on a set that's designed like a sunken living room in a hip
Paris apartment or a very cool Starbucks. There are couches and easy
chairs scattered about, and the sensibility is intimate, fairly
unglitzy elegance. The singers and dancers are scattered about as if
they were Mariah's pals who'd dropped by to hang out with her.

In fact, there were times - even when Carey wears a Marilyn
Monroe-inspired gold lame gown or a feathery full-length Roberto
Cavalli number - that you feel you've wandered either into Loretta
Young's old TV show or a Broadway offering by a new, undiscovered
talent.

The other good news is that Carey - whose voice was in top condition
thanks to a two-day rest - has dropped about 95 percent of the
melismatic yodeling that afflicted many of her records in the late
1990s. Her voice - again which many thought might have lost its power
or tone - is strong and she's using it with much more control. She's
hitting the notes dead-on and letting them blossom. The result is you
feel like you're listening to her great debut album, before the
gimmickry set in.

A few times during the show she sips some herbal tea, which has some
kind of soothing effect on her instrument. Now, if you don't believe
me, I can tell you that Carey had two guests in the audience who are
much harsher judges. Her sometime producer, Randy Jackson, the American
Idol judge who is newly slimmed down after gastric bypass surgery, was
one. But OK, he's a judge, but he also works for Carey so he can't be
considered totally objective about his raving over the show.

The other guest, though, was unknown to everyone until she visited
Carey backstage afterwards: Nancy Wilson, the legendary jazz and blues
singer, who's seen it all, nearly pushed an entire room of waiting fans
aside to meet Mariah. She gushed, and when she left, Carey - wearing a
butterfly print dress - called to everyone in the room: "Uh Hello? That
was Nancy Wilson!"

And so to the show: Many of the songs from her so-so selling album
Charmbracelet are included, and they work better than you might think.
The ballad "Through the Rain" gains a lot of energy in this minimal
setting because Carey doesn't push it. The gospel number "My Saving
Grace," which others might have done with a fully costumed,
over-the-top choir, is performed with amazing restraint.

Carey also has to deal with the audience, which was very mixed in age
and race but also included a number of her devoted, shall we say
"extreme," fans. There were even a few Carey imitators, and they were
not women. (Mariah, who is tall, inspires this, I guess.)

Because there is no orchestra pit at the Colosseum, a group of these
hardy fanatics was able to stand very near the stage during the show.
They sang along with every song, having memorized all the lyrics (and
that's no small feat considering a preponderance of them are no
moon-June-spoon but missives about "self-empowerment").

During a terrific duet with Trey Lorenz on the old Jackson 5 hit, "I'll
Be There," one of this group - a young Asian man from San Francisco
named Sam - took Carey's offer to sing along too seriously and jumped
on stage. The surprise of it didn't faze her - Mariah played along with
amazing aplomb - although Lorenz looked a little shocked. He said into
the open mike, "I don't know about this, fans coming on stage." Luckily
Sam was harmless but something tells me this won't be happening again
anytime soon.

Two numbers in the show refer vaguely to Carey's problems with her
ex-husband, former Sony chief Tommy Mottola. One, a new song called
"Clown," is positioned in a circus setting, with calliope music as the
introduction. While Carey sings from the side, business-suited actors
on stilts with sinister "Nixon" masks perform a tug-of-war with a
female puppet on strings. This is actually called "The Marionette Show"
and is as subtle as a flying mallet.

Carey also shows, on a screen during a costume change, the video for
her song "Honey." This is the "James Bond" video in which she's held
hostage by a Mottola look-alike and his thugs, then breaks free and is
rescued by a hunk on a jet ski. Only the first part, with the Mottola
imitator, is shown, but you get the message.

After the show, a member of Carey's entourage told me an enlightening
story from Mariah's "TM" days, which is how she refers to her ex. "He
took her to Rao's, the famous and exclusive Italian bistro in East
Harlem where you can't get a table. Paul Anka was there. TM said, 'It's
Paul Anka!' He'd never met him. And Mariah, who was pretty young, had
never heard of him. Tommy couldn't believe it. He got up, went over to
Anka, and said: 'This is Mariah Carey! She's never heard of you! Can
you believe it?' It was humiliating."

When the show is finally over, and Mariah's sung her signature song
"Vision of Love" and the fan favorite "Hero," the work is not over. I
watched while she posed for pictures with countless numbers of fans,
including members of her "Honey B. Fly" fan club, with not only
incredible patience but also enthusiasm.

She is not cynical about these lines of supporters who come with
scrapbooks they bring to her as gifts. To be provocative I asked her
during a two-second break: "Why don't you just kick them out and say
good night? You just sang for two hours. I can't believe you're not
throwing a diva fit."

Mariah (who in platform shoes trains her head slightly down toward me,
and I'm five foot ten) narrowed her eyes. "I know," she sighed, "it's
so boring. Why don't you say that I ran around and pulled all these
pictures off the wall? It's terrible being normal."

Carey heads next to Chicago for a Tuesday night show and then on
through the U.S. She winds up at Radio City Music Hall on Sept. 26,
where the long knives of New York's entertainment writers (me included)
will no doubt be sharpened and out for blood. But what a disappointment
Mariah's arrival will be for them! Whoever thought she'd get the last
laugh? Certainly not me.

■ Mariah Superb In Las Vegas

Mariah Carey kicked off the North American leg of her "Charmbracelet Tour" during a sold-out show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, July 26, 2003. Carey is promoting her latest album "Charmbracelet" which has sold over three million copies. Here is a review from the concert by Zondee:

I am very critical when evaluating Mariah's voice and I just came back from the concert and she was magnificent. Her voice was in perfect form. She sang better than her tv performances. She hit a lot of high notes in full voice and held her notes long like she used to in mostly all her songs. She sounded like when she did the MSG concert in 1995. I was very impressed that I am going to see her again in LA. Her voice was in good tune, it sounded kind of high she really couldn't hit her low notes.
She sounded fabolous when she was introducing her band mates by singing and displaying her talents in singing jazz style. She did lipsync a little bit in certain songs - all in when she performed "Fantasy", last part of "Honey", and few parts in "Subtle Invitation" mostly in the end, "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" ending and in "Clown", and I think that was about it.
She sang really good with Trey in "I'll Be There" with a lot of soul. The ballad that was chosen for the night through the internet deal was "Can't Take That Away", where she was excellent, no lipsyncing. She received an outstanding ovation. She wore a really beautiful white dress when she performed "Subtle Invitation" and "I Know What You Want". Busta Rhymes did not show up.
On the whole, her voice was superb, the old Mariah was back. She did not sing "You Got Me" and she did not have an opening act. What was odd for me as well was that there were a lot of older conservative people that attended. Not many people were dancing when the fast songs were on.
Her voice sounded really sweet on "Hero", the last song. She did amazing with "Always Be My Baby", hitting those high notes at the end. She really didn't hold back with her songs she really hit those high note that she usually changes to a lower note when she performs most of the time.
She was very humble and sweet. A fan ran up to the stage during her "I'll Be There" performance and started singing. The security didn't even stop him. Trey lorenz was tripping out, but Mariah was cool with it and gave him a hug and let him sing a line (which was horrible). He was wearing a Honey B Fly shirt. After the concert, fans were yelling out her name on our way out. Can't wait to see her in LA.

L.V.レヴューがいろんなサイトで見れますので皆さんチェックしてみてください。内容を読んでいると殆ど日本公演とそんな変わりも無くオフィシャルボートの３曲の中からL.V.ではCTTAが歌われたようです。衣装も微妙に変わったりしてますがさほどトラックリストに関しては特別なことはなかったようです。喉の調子はやはりカプリ効果もあるのかもしれませんが非常に良い状態を保っているようです。

■ HER OWN WOMAN!

An MTV2 poll just named Mariah Carey's voice the best in pop music history. But ever since Carey debuted as an overnight star in 1990, her parallel career has rocketed, too, as a media punching bag.

If her placement on the Web site, AmIAnnoying.com, is any indication, naysayers sum up Carey as a poor dresser (according to fashion cop Mr. Blackwell) and a bad actress (winning a worst actress Golden Raspberry Award for her role in "Glitter") who "calls her fans lambs (like they are a bunch of sheep)."

If that's not negative enough, she was ridiculed by Howard Stern and a host of other pop-culture carrion crows for having an emotional breakdown a few years ago.

But even AmIAnnoying.com recognizes that Carey does more charity work than most celebrities, and she has criticized other musicians for using computer-enhanced images on their album covers.

Carey, 32, considers these outside views of herself while sitting her tall, fair-haired, iconic body in the steam room of her New York home, while drinking lots of water and letting a portable humidifier strengthen her throat.

She'll need to be hydrated this well on Saturday, when she begins her first U.S. tour in three years at Celine Dion's Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

"This is going to sound bizarre -- it's a steam room in which you can sleep. Luther Vandross taught me about this. Humidity is key for singers. That's why in some ways Vegas is not great for me, because of the dryness," Carey says.

Carey answers a small barrage of questions about her reputation while in a seemingly pleasant mood, and in a deep vocal tone unlocked from the bottom of her five-octave diaphragm.

Carey thinks journalists gain respect for the singer once they get better access to her and know her better.

"Then, I think they have a totally different take on me than they do just watching the antics on TV ... watching the rumor mill and stuff like that," Carey says. "We all like to feel respected. But the media is what it is. It's all about sensationalism, and selling papers, and TV time, and ratings. So once you come to terms with that, you don't hate the media. I don't hate the media. I get it."

Carey dismisses the notion that plenty of American women are jealous of her. But she says she understands that some women look down on her because of the skimpy clothes she wears:

"It's hard when people don't really know you, because, of course, they're going to have judgments about how you look in a video, or maybe some women might feel offended: 'Why is she dressing like this?' You know. Stuff like that."

She is asked if she feels like an optimist in a cynical world.

"I am. Somebody told me I was the most tortured optimist that they've ever met. Like, I get tortured, and I'm still an optimist," she says.

She is also not a pushover, she says. When she is told that Vegas concerts are known to be stacked up front with VIPs holding free tickets, she sends out a shot:

"We may have to change it up a little bit," Carey says. "I don't want it to become a corporate thing where we give away too many tickets to corporate people and stuff like that. This is for the fans."

Carey says the tour is kicking off in Vegas mostly because it was just a convenient spot on the West Coast to start from.

"The decision for that was made when they were figuring out the whole schedule. But I think it's going to be a good place to play. I think people love a show in Vegas, don't they?"

Carey's tour was initially supposed to go into bigger venues than the theaters and amphitheaters it has ended up in. Carey says she scaled down the tour because a single fan expressed interest in seeing her play in a smaller spot. Carey says she'd rather sing in smaller venues.

"I wanted to do clubs, actually. But that wasn't realistic with the way I wanted to put the show on, in terms of musically. I still want to do maybe a surprise date in a club. It's gotta be in a city where they can't smoke in the club, because of my voice," she says.

Carey did a club date early in her career. It was captured for MTV Unplugged. But that was before Carey felt comfortable in front of crowds and cameras.

"It was really the first time I'd really ever performed. So people enjoyed it because it was intimate. But for me, it wasn't quite so intimate, because there were cameras in my face. Plus, I was so young and just starting out that I wasn't really that confident yet.

"So now I also have a personality we can showcase, and I can relate to my fans, as opposed to being 55 feet away from row No. 1."

Carey says she's not consumed by having hit songs. The singer (and often co-writer of her hits) of "Vision of Love," "Dreamlover," "Hero" and "Emotions" returned to the sales and radio charts this year with "I Know What You Want," a duet with Busta Rhymes.

"You know what? I just feel blessed to be able to do what I do for a living." " `I Know What You Want,' " she says, "was just a fluke that we did it. And it was at the 11th hour, as always with stuff with me."

The surprise hit convinced Carey to rerelease last year's "Charmbracelet" album, with the hit tracked on, along with other new songs.

She's also heading a new music label, Monarch, and when asked about it, she immediately launches into executive mode, which goes like this:

"There's another artist called Sadie, and she is my friend's daughter. She's personality-plus. She's only 7 years old, right. She is very the African-American Shirley Temple for 2003. She raps. She sings. And both her parents are choreographers. She is just adorable, and she has a song called ..."

It's an ambitious pitch, especially for a star. Why does she do it? Because she wants to keep enterprising, to run a label, sing and act in more movies. She sees no limits.

"Yeah, I want to do the whole thing. I'm an entertainer, but I'm also a very creative person," she says. "I've got a lot of outside projects."

ちょっと長いインタビューですが、その中から抜粋しまして、MariahはコンサートでのVIPシートを非常に嫌っているようです。VIPシートとは所謂コネ関係で回ってる業界を含めての席で一般やファンには回ってこない席のことです。このようなVIPシートを本当に早くなくしていくべきだと強く考えてくれているようで、Mariahの本当にファンの人達により良い席で見て欲しいっていう思いがあって今回のHBFの最前チケットプレゼントがあるのだと改めて再認識しました。本当にこういう話読むと嬉しいしありがたいな〜って思います。

■ New Voice Message

 The Asian leg of the Charmbracelet World Tour has ended and Mariah took some time off to have a holiday before she begins at the American leg. She visited her favorite island Capri in Italy. Accompanied by two bodyguards, she did some shopping at the Piazetta. Mariah also took some time to leave a voice message on her official site:

"Hi. Yeah, just calling you from Capri on the last day of my vacation, calling to say that the shows went so well in Japan and to thank all my Japanese fans for showing up and just for the enthusiasm during the nice shows and things of that sort. I'm getting ready to come to America, so can't wait to see all of you there and I love you, appreciate you and enjoy you and I will holla back soon. Bye bye."
Mariah will take a flight from Capri this evening at 7.00 pm. She will arrive in Las Vegas at the International Arrival gate for private planes in the early hours of July 23, somewhere between 00.30 and 2.00 am. Mariah plays The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on July 26.

日本ツアーを終え、暫しカプリで休暇中のMariahから新しいボイス・メッセージです。今回地方を回ってたくさんの日本のファンの皆に会えることができて嬉しかったし皆もコンサートを見にきてくれて本当にありがとう！とお礼を言ってくれています。そして、いよいよ始まるUSツアーも本当に待ち遠しくてたまらないわ〜♪っとのことです。わずかな休暇ではありますが大好きなカプリにて泳いだりショッピングしたり楽しんでいるようです。

Osaka ( 2003 / 06 / 24 )





宿泊先のホテルにて今回来日してやっと会えた日の写真です。この時に千羽蝶と垂れ幕１号を見せて喜んでもらいました。写真で見るよりも実物はもっと色が白くて綺麗でした。今回の来日ではこの色のグラサンをよく使用していました。最後の写真は２６日のバックステージでの写真です。deboraさんの愛娘ビビちゃんです。子供だけでも一緒に撮らせて欲しいというと姫は何の戸惑いも無くOK！あの時にやはり再度認識したのは周りの日本のスタッフが頑なに写真はNO！っと言ってるだけだと痛感しました。まっ、誰もが撮ってしまうと収拾が付かないのはわかりますが記念写真ももらえないのであればこれぐらいは多めに見てもらわないとね（苦笑）とにかく優しいマライアでした。

Hiroshima ( 2003 / 07 / 04 )




空港職員の馬鹿騒ぎであまりにも野次馬が多すぎてゆっくり写真を撮ることができなかった惜しい日でした.一緒に写真を撮れないその場の状況を理解していた姫は突然グラサンずらしてくれ「撮って〜」っと最高のスマイルをプレゼントしてくれました.あの時の優しさにどれだけ救われたか....ありがとうマライア.


Tokyo ( 2003 / 07 / 09 )






青山で行われたMonarCのショウケースでの様子です。姫はこの日は歌わなかったものの特別ゲストとして大いにその場を盛り上げてくれたようです。下の写真はあやちゃんがファンブレスレットを渡し姫との２ショットです。姫も大変喜んでいたようでおめでとう！！！


Nagoya ( 2003 / 07 / 15 )







ライブ前にとりあえずホテルで皆にご挨拶。マライアのスタッフ全て本当に優しく気さくで良い人ばかりでいつも感動しております。ちなみに「ejoe」の腕に「良城」というTatooが入っていますが本人が言うには自分の名前を彫ってるとか（笑）「あぁ〜っ」っと皆で納得するとすかさず「（気付くの）遅いよ！」っとejoeからするどい突込みが！（笑）皆それでまた爆笑してしまいました。トレイはアフロがとってもお気に入りの様子（笑）この後数時間後姫も出てき、すぐにここに居ることに気が付いてくれたけど今度は地元の野次馬おばちゃんパワーとサイン欲しさに押し倒してくる野郎達でまたまた荊の道を虐げられました（涙）ロブのやっと仕事をしてるところを目にした日でもありました（笑）押し寄せてきた野郎どもは容赦なくロブが恐ろしいほど叩いておりました。こっちくるごろには姫の姿を殆ど見えない状態だったけど手紙だけ渡したかったので差し出してるとしなやかな白い腕がぐ〜っと伸びてきて手紙をとってくれたのでもうそれだけで満足してすぐその場から立去りました。１３日のホテル待ちの様子に姫がやや怖がってたと行ってた人に聞いていたけど１５日にその場にいてよくわかりました（苦笑）




ライブでは何度もクルーの皆に写真は撮ってもらってたものの全部自分たちのカメラじゃないので一つも手にすることができませんでしたが、最後ぐらいやっぱり欲しいのでJoeさんに撮ってもらってもらいました。また写真出来上がり次第送ってもらうように頼んだのでまた届き次第載せようと思ってます。あと、クルーから聞いたプチ情報としてはまだ決定はしていないけど来年１月か２月にオーストラリアでもライブする話があるらしい。で、CB World TourのDVDはAround The World2（仮題）としてリリースする予定で秋に行われるパリでのライブをメインに撮るらしい。で、とりあえず日本１０公演でどのライブがよかった感想を聞いたら大阪・広島・東京の名前があがりました。大阪は両日ともかなり盛り上がり姫も絶好調で楽しそうだったとのこと。広島は他公演とちょっと違った盛り上がりで面白かったとのこと。東京は初日が姫の喉の調子が良かったって言ってました。





今回はapのTシャツが着たかったけどまだ売ってないので自分で作るしかないということでJackにap着せてTシャツ作りました（笑）結構これ自分でも気に入ってるので是非、姫に見てもらいたくて１５日のライブでも着て行きました。翌日姫を見送る時にこのTシャツを見せると覚えてたのかすぐに「あぁ〜これすっごいカワイイ！！」「本当にカワイイ！」って何度も笑顔で言ってくれて嬉しかった。で、書きにくいと思うけどサインお願いしたら「to shino (ハート）Mariah」と小心者のように書いてくれました（笑）ありがとう姫！

■ マライア「ゲリラ出演」でフェロモン爆発

日本公演中の米歌手、マライア・キャリー（３３）が立ち上げた新レーベル「ＭｏｎａｒＣ　Ｍｕｓｉｃ（モナーク・ミュージック）」に所属するアーティストのお披露目ライブが９日、東京・表参道のＴＨＥ　ＯＲＢＩＥＮＴで行われた。マライアも会場に駆けつけ、突如ステージに上がってあいさつ。ゲリラ的なマライアの登場に、会場からは大歓声が上がっていた。

ライブの終盤、マライアは背中が開いた青のタンクトップでフェロモンをふりまきながらステージに登場。ざわめく会場に「コンバンハ〜」と日本語であいさつすると、約２００人の観客からは大歓声だ。本来はステージに上がる予定はなかった「ゲリラ出演」に、会場は大盛り上がり。観客から花束を受け取りながら笑顔を見せた。

「モナーク・ミュージック」は昨年夏に「全世界にすばらしい音楽とパフォーマンスを見せたい」とマライアが立ち上げたレコードレーベル。「ＭｏｎａｒＣ」のＭとＣはマライアの名前の頭文字を取って大文字となっている。

今回のお披露目ライブは、同レーベルに所属するアーティストを「日本にいる間に、ぜひ一度、ファンの人々にきちんと紹介したい」と急きょ、企画されたもの。

お披露目ライブでは、トレイ・ロレンツ、ベル＆ネイネイ、セイディーの３組がそれぞれ熱唱。トレイは全米ＮＯ１ヒットとなった「Ｉ’ｌｌ　Ｂｅ　Ｔｈｅｒｅ」でマライアとデュエット。飛び抜けた歌唱力を評価された実力派で、マライアは「私のベストフレンド。信じているし、実力もあるわ」と興奮気味に紹介した。ベル＆ネイネイは１４歳（ベル）と１５歳（ネイネイ）の女の子デュオ。セイディーは７歳で、２組はマライアが発掘してプロデュースを手掛けるスター候補生だ。ライブの最後にも登場したマライアは、両手を振りながら日本語で「アイシテマス」。歌を披露することはなかったが、満足げに会場を後にした。

■ マライア・キャリー、超ミニでファン“挑発”

３年ぶり４度目の来日ツアー（５都市１０公演）を展開中の米歌手、マライア・キャリー（３３）が６日、東京・北の丸の日本武道館で東京公演をスタートさせた。

「ハートブレーカー」のイントロが流れると、マライアはアリーナ席の一番後方から登場。歓声が巻き起こる中、ダンサーにガードされて客席を通り、歌いながらステージへ。「スルー・ザ・レイン」では超ミニのワンピースでソファに座って足を組み、脚線美を見せつけるセクシーサービスも見せた。

他にも空中からブランコで降りてきたり、最前列のファンと握手したりと、あっと驚く演出の数々に、１万２０００人のファンは息つく暇がないほど。

楽曲もニューアルバム「チャームブレスレット」を中心に、「ヒーロー」など１８曲を熱唱。親日家らしく「コンバンワ」「ゲンキデスカ？」「アリガトー」と日本語を連発して客席を喜ばせた。８、１０日も同所で。１５日の仙台公演を終えた後、帰国し、８月から欧米ツアーを行う。

遅くなりましたが大阪公演初日の写真UPしました。姫の髪型はこの日３〜４回変わり一番気合が入っていたように思えます（笑）Honeyではこの日だけ簪を付け自ら日本風を指で指してアピってました。この髪型でのチャイナが一番似合ってました。あの変な扇子のようなものより簪で統一つればいいのに（爆）

７月４日広島空港から東京の羽田空港へ来た時の出迎え時の写真です。羽田にはファンは７〜８人ほどしかいてなかったそうです。

７月４日、広島公演を大盛況の中終え次の会場となる東京へ向かって16:55凄い旋回技を見せながら飛んでいきました（笑）今日はたまたま休憩中の空港職員達がバカ騒ぎし一気に職員だらけのお見送りという感じになりました。今日の姫はストレートからややふんわりカーリーヘアで登場し大変ご機嫌で時間ないのにわざわざ目の前でグラサンずらしてくれて撮ってもいいわよポーズをしてくれました。まじ感動。しかし私は目の前の警備の頭が邪魔でうまく撮れませんでした。その後姫はさっさと搭乗ゲートへ向かいました。東京には５時過ぎに到着しややお疲れだったようですが笑顔でファンにもサインして空港を後にしたようです。これから１週間関東の皆姫をよろしく〜〜！

大阪から広島までの西日本公演を終え私達も暫しお休み。今日は記念にベルちゃん達やトレイ、バンドメンバーやそしてあのお二人とも一緒に写真を撮りました。皆覚えてくれていて気さくに写真を撮ることができました。トレイとのGETT！の写真がうまく撮れてなかったのがもったいない思い出の一つです（笑）ベルちゃんにAPがいつ頃発売されるのか聞いたところまだはっきり決まってないけどもうすぐだと思うと言ってました。しかしこの３人本当に可愛かったです。

７月２日空港に居合わせたファンやらSPの警備でごちゃごちゃになりながらSACHIKOがビデオカメラを回し姫に日本のファンにメッセージをくださいとお願いしたところ、マライアは気さくに笑顔で「アイシテマス！」とカメラに向かって 言ってくれました。やや逆光ですがうまく撮れてますので是非見てね！この日はAPのピンクのビキニにこれまたAPの紫のホットパンツにGジャン羽織っての悩殺ファッションでご機嫌 で広島へ向かって旅立って行きました。下の写真は福岡空港を飛び立ったジェットの様子です。なんともちょっと哀愁漂ってるでしょ？（笑）
