Watanabe Mayu Solo Single [Synchro Tokimeki] Covers Revealed

Another late post delayed by Chinese New Year. More backlog expected tonight.


The cover art for Watanabe Mayu's debut single [Synchro Tokimeki] has been revealed! The single will come in four different versions: three limited and one regular. See the covers below.

As per the style on her solo website, the covers are really lovely and girly!  They feature Mayuyu in four different styles: "Idol Mayuyu", "Stylish Mayuyu", "Natural Mayuyu" and "Usa Shijimi". The last version features her as the 38-year-old teacher who she plays in her drama Sabadoru. By the way, Synchro Tokimeki is also the theme song for the drama.

My personal favorite cover is probably the Idol version (because girly tophats and pretty dress makes for awesome), but I find the picture with the bun really cute too. Usa Shijimi just looks kind of... scary... but I guess cross-promotion is always good?

Unfortunately at this point of time there has been no other word about the single tracklist. However the ending theme of Sabadoru is [Saba no Kanzume] (サバの缶詰) which could be one of the coupling songs of the single.


Limited A, Limited B
Limited C, Regular version
