A story about Hello! Project member Yumigeta calling fellow member Yamazaki “Panda” — and getting menaced with a low, scary voice in response — has become a hot topic on 5ch. Yamazaki herself played dumb, saying “Did I really say it like that?” but Sakurai blew her cover, revealing “It’s on video lol,” and fans are loving the gap between her usual self and this side of her.
The thread expanded into discussion of how the normally soft-spoken Mei-san (Yamazaki’s nickname) only gets seriously fired up over being called “Panda,” as well as the genuine side of her that makes her so well-liked by her juniors.
When are you gonna show us this footage, Rairii-san?!
I want to watch this a million times and die of moe overload, so please hurry up and drop the Rairii-san footage.
I love the scene where Panda threatens Raigeta (Rairii + Yumigeta) as they get hyped up trying to liven up the game.
Sakurai/Yumigeta: "Kyaa lol"
Yamazaki: "Shut up already"
Sakurai/Yumigeta: "S-sorry…"

Oh yeah, that happened lol
I also love the moment when she goes
"Your reactions are too loud!"
at Rairii lol

Yeah lol, Mei-san actually talks kind of like this normally
But I've never heard her go this aggressively scary before
I want to know if Geta-san (Yumigeta) and Rairii are just goofing around for laughs or if it's the real deal
Anyway, seeing Mei-san say this makes me want to die of moe, so I just want to watch it lol

Doesn't "Getarai" have a better ring to it than "Raigeta"?
Good to know that even off-camera, she still gets mad about being called "Panda" without an honorific lol
Guess that's not just part of her "Mama" persona after all

Aren't everyone's eyes and face shape pretty close to Mei-san's?
Well, it's funny because she talks like this one-on-one lol — it's one of the reasons I like Mei-san
Did someone make this thread after watching this?

If this is for real, then maybe "Panda-san" has a split personality like Nogi-san from VIVANT (a Japanese TV drama)

Homare's also feared by the 18th gen, and Oda revealed that even Mei-san gets nervous around Homare
>>26
But Mei-sa went out one-on-one with Homare

I feel like I see a lot of moments where Rairii seems a bit annoyed with Zakimei (Yamazaki + Mei), or maybe she's just trying pretty hard to bring out Zakimei's dark side

Right? lol I catch glimpses of that kind of thing here and there

There was a rough patch where, even though she [Rairii] was actually the youngest, Erarii wouldn't budge from the "youngest member" spot, so I'll let it slide

Feels like the oldest members, Homamei (Homare & Mei), are turning into the same kind of "scary but kind" senpai that Fuku-chan and Eripon used to be not long ago — in a good way
>>28
Ah I see
Guess they've gotten closer since back then
So Mei-san's the only scary senpai left then lol

As long as you call her "Panda-san" there's nothing to fear
Mei-sa goes out to eat with Sumoto and gets along just fine too

Sounds like instructions for handling an animal lmao

Meirii (Mei & Rairii) are genuinely close
You can tell just by watching them

I think Rairii understands that things get funnier when she's the one getting called out, so she's trying to draw out the dark side on purpose
Rairii's the "boke" (goofball) type

Oda said the only senpai Sugihara hadn't "cracked" yet were Okamura and Inoue, but she's managed to get both of them to hang out with her now, so there's no scary senpai left

You can't call the people who are actually scary "scary," right?

Wait, they're bundling today's live Blu-ray with the CD?
Talk about not holding back lol

Even if you call her "Panda-san," she's basically a 🐻 (bear)

Guess she's more like a brown bear then
Just with a cuter color
