Becoming NiziU wasn't easy- MAYA | Journey to NiziU 『 マヤ 虹プロ ジェクト Maya Edition 』nizi project

Becoming NiziU Maya wasn't easy
In general it takes me 4-5 hours to put together and upload each "NiziU wasn't easy". I include parts that show before and after (improvements) and the hard work the girls did to get to where they are at today, which is being apart pf NiziU.

[@MAKOCOOKIES_NIZIU]

Hello I am going to be making *ALL the final members* videos like this!💗 Subscribe for when they release💗🥰 Instagram: instagram.com/mako.cookies/

[@Leon-ge6kp]

Hey, I'm still waiting for Mako's. Is it coming?

[@Lyssa3Lynn]

Maya became kind of like my bias ever since her “Ugly Duckling” story. She’s super beautiful and talented and you can tell that she is super passionate about being an idol.

[@keyraprescott]

I love her so much

[@emceeb5289]

She's not even ugly hahaha. If she's ugly, what would i call myself

[@amberd5208]

Same! Love her

[@tony1738ful]

Swan Princess

[@dayangmasudi]

She's beautiful now

[@danilolatayadajr3218]

She always reminds me of Mina with that elegant aura around her.

[@frsblackhors3958]

Ur right

[@cristinejoy3041]

Yeah also think that too, she resembles mina to me

[@boorave]

I always thought so

[@loo-ssemble]

mhm, they both are my biases as well lol

[@klc2963]

and her mysterious vibes too

[@roe310]

KATSUMURA MAYA 💎 • White Swan • Stage Prescence 🔥 • Ex-YG Trainee • She cooked dinner for the members before the final round and the kindest unnie a.k.a Mom of the group

[@therealmethatyoudontknow]

Not YG, YGJ, it's not the same right?

[@roe310]

@@therealmethatyoudontknow its still YG but in Japan. YGJ stands for YG Japan :)

[@bravochannelhk]

Cook dinner with Mako, Maya and Mako also charming💜🧡

[@donangelo5425]

Maya's personality is very similar to Mina. She resembles her unnie's elegance so much 💕

[@loo-ssemble]

Don Angelo Huh, no wonder she’s my bias. Mina is as well. I noticed Maya also cries whenever she feel stressed, as soon as she started explaining how she felt that she was pushing everyone down she started crying. I cried as well, it’s almost 3am here by the time I’m writing this heheh

[@skeppink6521]

She's also a swan :`)

[@pidorsunday187]

They both are Aries

[@proudonce3629]

ikr!!!!!

[@raquelannpena9378]

They are both beautiful swans

[@revie1946]

I wished people recognized her efforts more. she is incredibly self-disciplined and mature for her age and continuously strives to improve. her ability to act makes her entertaining to watch but she also works hard to better her vocal and dance skills. she’s also the literal mom of the group and is so kind-hearted. maya appreciation time everyone!

[@KylieXCX]

In my opinion, Maya has the best facials of the group

[@loo-ssemble]

I respect that! Her visuals are my personal favorite along with Rio!

[@SamuraiSoulish]

Best facial expressions for sure....her stare makes you speechless 😶

[@wiggroupfighting9385]

She really has this Mina vibes. I cant take my eyes off to her visuals.

[@raquelannpena9378]

Beautiful Swans , they are ❤️

[@golfclubsuuchi]

Maya is so elegant. When JYP produce the next (or future) m/v, if it has elegant vibe, beautiful vibe, serious vibe, bewitching vibe or sexy vibe, Maya's fascination will be maximized, though it is my personal opinion. Mako Cookies san, thank you for editing this video. I like this so much.

[@skeppink6521]

Maya will be the swan in the ugly duckling story. She is unique 😌💅

[@schannel5630]

話している様子とか他のメンバーを見守っている様子とか、マヤちゃんは本当に好感が持てる子ですね。内面が本当に美しいと思う。

[@junnananas]

i noticed on the videos from nizi project everyone thought maya was older than her age because of how mature and self-disciplined she is she is seriously such a role model

[@aishwaryaa7632]

Maya is just so effortlessly sensual, like she doesn’t even try yet she’s so captivating.

[@user-hv4mf7ps4r]

マヤさんは若いのになんでこんなに表現力が飛び抜けてるんだろ？？？ MVで髪型変えただけでも別人に見えるって事は本当に凄い武器だよね。 誰もが持っている能力ではないし、練習等で近い能力は身につけるメンバーもいるかも知れませんが、たぶんメンバーでマヤさんを超える人はいないと思います。 目を奪われるって表現が一番合うと思いますが、他のメンバーを見てたのにいつの間にかマヤさんを目で追ってるときがあります。 人の目を引きつけれるのはアイドルをやる上で最高の武器です！ 壁にぶち当たったときにあまり深く落ちこまずに自然体で頑張っていってほしいです。

[@user-kl4iz9dn5s]

あなたの言うとおりだと思います。本当に魅力的な子ですね。

[@user-eq6gt8xh3n]

多分表情管理も上手なんだと思います… 気がついたらマヤ最推しになっていました☺ これからも活躍の幅を広げていってほしいですね😊

[@aaau75]

マヤは、聖母マリアのように人の痛みを自分の痛みのように考えられる存在 ファイナルで同じくリーダーになったマコは、ジャンヌダルクのようにガンガン引っ張るし、皆もついていきたくなる存在。 対照的な二人のお姉さんがいるNiziUは最高のグループですね＼(*´▽｀)oﾟ★･*☆ﾟ

I liked maya from the beginning of the show and I’ve watched from the very beginning,there is something about her that just draws you in.MAYA IS MOST DEFINITELY MY BIAS

[@niziu_fighting9222]

I really love Maya's visual 😍 please give more love to her. 💕 P.S. Nina's appearance and expressions make me smile always. Baby Nina so kawaii

[@bbitzyqueens]

Idk why but I remember Mina from her---because of her natural/elegant visual soft voice and her acting skills the way she dance is on point like Mina did :>> just thought:)

[@mightyobserver12]

She can be a kinder teacher. So Nice storyteLLiNg.

[@CTGrell]

Why do I cry on everyone's successes.... I never ever loved any kpop group this much 😭 they are too pure for my fragile heart

[@maikofr6735]

Umm i think they're not a kpop group :3

[@nurayuni6940]

Maya has a very soft and feminine character. Hopefully I will see you explore into acting field also. You are such a talented person. Cheer up

[@naes123]

Congrats Maya you’ve just become my bias 🥺

[@user-xz8hx3xf6c]

亡くなったおじいちゃんもデビューが決まってすごい嬉しいだろうなあ。

[@lydia9696]

I really love how you made this 'series'! Although the chances are very slim, I want to become an idol too, and seeing these girls' journeys really inspires me to improve and reach my dream. I know that I probably will never become an idol, but I want to try and pursue my dreams so that I won't regret it once I'm older. I am learning Japanese in school and am hoping that I can use that to my advantage later in my life. THANKYOU SO MUCH. These vids give me hope. 💜💜

[@ericd6549]

You can see JYP’s kindness when he said the good parts of her dance first and tried to make it sound very “excellent”, the bad parts he was talking about of her dance still sounded kind, the music made it sound dramatic (sorry if there’s any bad English:)

[@loo-ssemble]

Oh don’t worry about the English, it’s absolutely amazing! You sound better than some native speakers lol! Are you knew to English, because your English is really good.

[@ericd6549]

MAYA BEST GIRL

[@kirakira8628]

She's the type that works hard to stay talented and I love it. It's even more charming that she's so humble and is shocked everytime someone compliments her. It's like she doesn't even know how special she is. Gosh, I am older than her but she's such a great role model.

[@shahrulnizam1413]

and..Maya's age is the same as my sister yet my sister so childish. Well just gotta love my sis just the way she is

[@johnl6090]

Actually I did not know there was a "Nizi Project", I knew Niziu when their first MV came out, and the one who really caught my eyes was Maya. Just want to say that Maya was so special ✨

[@hanisbangcurler5747]

maya became my bias after the touch performance. she's so charming and I loved her ugly duckling story too--she was so good ahh i am so happy she debuted~

[@Nonono.one1]

When maya started to cry its contagious that i cried too

[@pepsiriah1651]

I really have to commend her improvement in her dance angles, it’s much more firm and steady, plus her lovely alto voice is literally so velvety, she’s also really good at controlling her power so she’s able to have a long stamina for singing and dancing, she definitely deserves her spot 👍👍👍.

I didn’t really pay much attention to her when i watched Nizi Project. Yuna and Rio were my biases. but once there was Touch and Swing, she solidified the term bias :p My bias was originally Rio, ended up with 2.

[@kortanul]

Man. Maya really started out a bit sloppy, but with the Make You Happy MV her performance was excellent and stood out even amongst the whole group. Maya, Ayaka, and Nina all worked *so* hard to get where they are with their dancing performance and it shows. The others were skilled enough with it going in, but these three didn't give up even knowing their dancing needed work. For each of them it amounted to needing practice--proving to themselves that they wanted to be great and to do the work accordingly. Heck, at first Maya didn't even stand out at all to me, so I didn't even remember her beginning until watching this, but she's come so far and earned this spot in the group for sure.
