MAXI/GSC has observed a sharp increase of the soft (<4 keV) X-ray flux from Cyg X-3 on 2010 January 24 after a slow gradual increase since 2010 January 20. The 1.5-4 keV X-ray flux tripled from January 19 to January 24 while the hard (10-20 keV) X-ray flux stayed almost constant, suggesting that the source is in the transition from the hard spectral state to a soft state. As the gamma-ray and radio flares have been observed after similar state transitions (Tavani et al.
