Fourth part of the Marippe Festspiele. It's "Hitori ja nai no" on this occasion.
Accompanying her this time are a UFA-loan-slave guitarplayer and that all too familiar keyboarder who for the first time on Uta Doki has appeared at work having washed his hair!!!! Instead he is now wearing an equally awful beard imitation in his face.
And those two make it sound like Mari is appearing during Happy Hour at "Toshio's Prosecco Bar and Grill"...
What appears to be a simple nice little song is barely saved by Yaguchi who gives a good but rather lacklustre performance here. Looking at that last cap it seems she wasn't really satisfied with this one either :-)

'Tis autumn. As you can see by the yellow and red leafs which the cameraman manages to put in front of Mari's face for half a minute at one point. She's singing Kono Hiroi Nohara Ippai. It seems to be cold in the studio (must have been a very bad year for H!P as they can't afford to pay the heating bill). Why else would little Yaguchi keep her wool cap on for another performance...
Singing along with her today is everyone's favorite trembling voice, Akira-not-Atsuko's-brother Inaba, the Japanese Flamenco guitarrero, sporting his known mafioso look of course.

Second day of the Marippe festivities on Uta Doki.
Today she brings us a ballad. Sad ballad it seems, and they fittingly have applied a make-up which shows little tears on the lashes. Nice touch.
Not much movement this time as that would have totally destroyed the mood here...
And Mari exercises some gestures that no doubt she learned from that master of dramatic hand movements, Ayaya.
Nice one again, though I wish the director had dispensed with that tradition of placing the singers in the extreme corner of the frame or cutting them in half at the side or placing out-of-focus props in one half of the picture. And that silly notion of having text plastered all over the screen.

Guest editor Mattthecat here (oh, and if don't like my review - blame it on Jostein :-)
The fourth special feature in this season's UD is Mari's. Yeaaaahhhhh!!!
So whom do we see for the first 90 seconds? Right, that superfluous DJ, this time Niigaki. And the camera is hovering around to a degree of sea sickness....
BUT: She stops talking a split second before the song begins!!!! Yippeeeee!!!

Yaguchi Mari is back on Uta doki, this time with "Kimi wo wasurenai" by Matsuyama Chiharu.
It's a nice, slow ballad, the studio setting is warm and Yaguchi performs the song wonderfully. Indeed a good one :)
Screenshots here, and there's also a torrent out there.

Yaguchi is once again back on Uta doki, and this time performing "Aoi Usagi", meaning Blue rabbit. According to Mattthecat it's "nice and jazzy". I'm still DLing, so I'll take his word for it.
Mr. Draven-man has the torrent as usual.
Update: Now with screenshots. Also Matt is entirely correct in his trivia: Michishige does yabber on for about 30% of this Uta doki! By the way: Make that "Sayu's Utadoki corner" XD

There she is again, on Uta Doki. Together with Hyodo Yuki she's performing "Ima Sugu Kiss Me", a happy pop-rock song (originally by Psycho le' Cemu?). Yaguchi is pretty jumpy here! The line "go away, I miss you" is kind of strange, hehe.
Nothing different from other times, Yaguchi looks fabulous again, though in the same outfit as the episode from a week before.
So as it's Uta Doki, there's nothing different, just a happy energetic Yaguchi. Of course screenshots 'as usual'.
How could I forget, here's a torrent.

Yaguchi Mari is back on Uta doki, and this time she performs "Natsu no Ojousan". A pretty light, playful song, but still nowehere near as crazy as her Tachi-performance ;)
Sorry for the few screencaps here, but getting lots of good ones was kinda hard since the camera jumped all over the place.
Anyway, draven has the torrent, as usual.
And as seen in the torrent description: Yaguchi will also be on next week with Hyodo Yuki, performing "Ima sugu kiss me".

As already mentioned, Yaguchi scheduled for Uta doki today, with Yoshizawa Hitomi. Song being performed is "Aishiteru" and as you can tell from the name, it's a nice, downbeat ballad.
It has a very soft, relaxed backing, leaving most of the attention to the vocals, and we don't mind this, do we? :P
Anyway. draven has a torrent, and I have a few screenshots.
Also thanks to prodygee who repeatedly made absolutely sure I wasn't forgetting this one ;)

Yaguchi Mari was on Uta Doki performing "Kaze no Tani no Naushika".
This is a (requested) rerun, but if you still feel like catching it or completing your Uta Doki collection, draven posted a torrent right here.
