On March 20th, AKB48's Watanabe Mayu held a mini-live event at Yomiuri Land to commemorate the release of her solo debut single, "Synchro Tokimeki".

This mini-live, called "Minna de Synchro Shiyou! Mayuyu no Tokimeki LIVE", marked Watanabe's first solo live in front of fans. The idol invited 10,000 fans out of 50,000 people who applied to attend this event.

Watanabe appeared in front of the crowd wearing a yellow mini dress and greeted, "I'm Mayuyu, the 'zenmai' (spring) idol." She sang a total of 3 songs including "Synchro Tokimeki" and its coupling tracks "Mitsuami no Kimi e" and "Mayuyuroid".

Additionally, Watanabe was presented with a surprise milk crepe to celebrate her upcoming 18th birthday (March 26th). In delight, she said, "Milk crepe is my favorite! I want to eat it as a reward for working so hard today."�She also reflected upon her year with, "17 was perfect. I was able to make my solo debut, so I'm very happy."

After the event, Watanabe held an interview with reporters and commented, "Since I'm an 'ame-onna' (a woman whose presence causes rain), I was worried that it would rain. But it turned out to be a glorious day, so I was able to enjoy myself."

She continued, "I was nervous because I did the emceeing, dancing, and singing all by myself. I didn't make any mistakes with the lyrics or choreography, so it turned out to be a success."
