One-man o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. It’s a one-man at last. I’m so excited and nervous that I can’t sleep…(-_-) Thinking about the one-man, watching the DVD, and everything else has made me so excited that I can’t fall asleep (>_<) At times like this, I do housework. I did laundry and cleaned!! Yep. The long-awaited one-man!! Everyone, I’m counting on you to cheer us on (>_<) I will try my absolute best!!


September 1st, 2005

Dance, Omotesandou o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! Today there was a live in Omotesandou at FAB. Thanks for all the hard work, everyone. Today, we made mistakes, but it was a lot of fun!! Thanks to your kind cheering, I was able to do my absolute best, and I’m grateful for that. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Everyone must be tired so let’s go to sleep early o(^-^)o Please take your time resting!! I was really encouraged by both cheering at the live and the comments on the diary o(^-^)o Thank you. Yesterday I was nervous and couldn’t sleep so I think today I’ll sleep a lot to make up for it o(^-^)o Oh, I’m still worrying about to name the goldfish!! I felt like I was in that old anime “Goldfish Warning”, you know?! o(≧∀≦)o Well, good night!!


September 2nd, 2005

It was fab at FAB from Kanon

The one-man today was fun. Tomorrow I want to pass the time being lazy and eating Pocky.
Honestly, thanks for all the hard work everyone.
From now on, it’s fall.
Let’s go see the autumn leaves.


September 3rd, 2005

Five minutes, five minutes from Kanon

Today we went to the studio, and from the evening onwards, we did coverage.
Some hot ideas were talked about…uh, I think (`ーωー)=з Sigh.
After that, we went to the office and talked about some stuff, but the manager was worried about the outcome.
Of course, I ended up saying, “It’d be nice if I could go home” ☆
I said it casually
And so, I came home and read the horror manga “Hellstar Remina”.
There was a newly discovered planet, and it eats other planets,
And at first it was only eating planets that were far away, but
It steadily started eating planets in our solar system, and has finally turned toward Earth too. Run awaaaaay!
It’s that kind of story.
The ending…well, I felt it was an incomplete climax.
I won’t understand if it was made into a complete climax, so that’s probably why it’s an incomplete one.
If there is a better complete climax, I want to hear it.
Well, the opinions of people who have a different way of thinking from me and have only read some of the book would be interesting.

Achoo

G’morning; Teruki death! This is already yesterday’s news, but thanks for all the hard work at the one-man at FAB in Omotesandou! I think that the live was good the whole way through! The evaluations from the people around us were high too. For me, personally, I made a few mistakes on the drums again, but I think that basically the stability increased. I also liked that the position of the drums was high up. Thank you to everyone who came to see us!
After the live, I went drinking with my friend. This friend came all the way to FAB in order to see us. Because we are people who have careers like this, hearing his opinions from an audience point of view was really helpful. He’s thinking about what my good points are by how I, as a performer, compare with other performers. Even though the whole band was measured, he was able to find the good things about us that are not things that are usually noticed. I was thinking that since I’m tired, I’d go to sleep early, but I was able to go all the way until morning (^_^)v
Yesterday I was at the studio in the afternoon, and after there was a magazine interview. I went straight to sleep after coming home. Ah, everyone, please come to the Sendai radio and instore! It’s just me so I’ll have to talk four times as much. But just in case, I’m planning on mastering my impersonations of the other three members.

Croquette, wearing ink o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! Starting today, we’re beginning the recording. Let’s do our best o(^-^)o
Yesterday, I had nothing to do at night so I watched a video of the one-man and read letters, and I felt encouraged and then I cooked. I made cream croquettes, but I failed (>_<) There were totally blackened almost-croquettes. Even though the cream on the inside turned out delicious, I can’t consider this an improvement on my cooking skills. They were lumpy and totally burned through (>_<)


I guess it’ll still be awhile before I became a man who can cook….
Anyway, I was really surprised that you guys had heard of “Goldfish Warning”!! Even I mentioned it so off-handedly!! You guys are great o(^-^)o


September 6th, 2005

Hospital

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death. There was a big rainstorm, but is everyone okay? There’s a typhoon approaching too so it’s a tough time. But there wasn’t much rain our way (^_^)v Because we’re really far removed from the main area. But today, when I went to the studio, I slid around a lot more than I expected. I knocked the Mabo-don I was carrying in a bag with my right knee and it spilled out a little (*_*)
And now here’s an announcement from Teruki for those in the Kansai area. I’m going to be a supporting performer with Unzu-san yet again at the live that is being held on 9/16 at Osaka Muse. Because it’s a supporting position, I’ll be completely different from how I am with An Café, lol. If you have free time then, please come and see us m(_ _)m I think there will be more details from RED CAFÉ uploaded at some point.


September 7th, 2005

Hard o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! Right now, we’re in the middling of recording. Today we were at the studio and then did recording so I’m dead tired o(^-^)o I have a feeling that we were able to make good songs!!
Cream croquettes are hard things to make o(^-^)o I think that the temperature of the oil was probably too high. Because the one I made last after the fire was put out was the only one that came out looking good. I hope I can make them better next time.
I will do my best o(^-^)o There’s a live soon!! I’m looking forward to it o(^-^)o
The goldfish has been named “Furutaka”-kun o(^-^)o
It’s a kiteretsu name!!


September 8th, 2005

Power Yakisoba

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today I practiced together with Kanon-kun. We did our best on the debut of Merrymaking at the FAB one-man the other day, but I haven’t completely memorized it yet. It’ll be a while before I can hit the drums naturally, and I can’t take my time to learn each note perfectly. I suck at it right now (^_^;) He’s probably the same as me in that way.
Oh, thanks for worrying about my right knee, everyone. There’s a big bruise, but I’m okay. But my butt hurts on my right side too…. To those of you who wondered why yesterday’s diary was titled “Hospital”, it wasn’t because of my knee but because I’ve been feeling sick for a while and it hasn’t gotten better. But it’s really nothing serious. So, recently they just opened up a big hospital near my house, so I tried going there yesterday just to make sure. I was going to go during the afternoon, but the sign at the entrance said “Check-in Hours = AM – 9:00~12:00, PM = 5:00~”, and I was thinking, “Wait, you can only check-in after 5 if it’s past noon?”, so I went inside to ask the front desk about it. I talked to the lady at the counter that said “General Information Desk” on it. I asked, “If I want to check in for an exam now, is that okay?”, and then she left behind the words, “Please wait a moment” and rushed off for some reason. I had a bad feeling at that point. The exam check in time was written at the entrance, but I think something like “Emergency patients may check in at any time” was written underneath it. It started raining on my way to the hospital so I rushed there on my bike, so not only was I soaked but I was breathing hard too. My bad feeling was right on target; that lady had probably said “There’s an emergency patient!” or something. Soon after, she came running back with two nurses and one other person. “Who is the patient?!” the nurse asked. “U-Um, that would be me,” humble little me replied. She kept asking me questions with a serious face like, “What happened?!” In a very apologetic tone, humble little me said, “Uh, well, I guess I feel like I have a cold….” Then the four people there all looked at each other for a few seconds…they were probably all thinking “Huh? What the hell? Somebody say something!” and there was a heavy pause. One of the nurses gathered her courage and spoke. “What kind of symptoms do you have?” “Um…my stomach is upset…and I get tired easily…I guess,” I replied, and the nurse told me, “Let’s try talking to a doctor just in case.” But since I knew she was just indulging me, I said, “No, it’s okay, I’ll come back another time,” and I left.

Snippity Snip at Shibuya o-west from Kanon

Today we did a casual live at Shibuya o-west.
It was a casual third time.
It was refreshing to do a live event for the first time in a while.
After the live, I evenly spread soy sauce all over the noodles that the manager bought for me, and that was somehow refreshing too. And it was really delicious.
Oh, man, I’m sleepy. Since September is going to be very busy, I need to eat healthy.
By the way, it seems like the contents of the letters and stuff recently has mostly been about managing your health on the days when the season is changing.
Thank you. I’ll do my best.
And so, goodnight (ーωー)ノシ


September 9th, 2005

Hamburg** o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! Today we did a live at West o(^-^)o Well, it’s nerve-wracking to perform alongside other bands. And I was nervous about being MC too. But because I had fun, it’s all good!! Thanks for all the hard work, everyone. Today I hate a proper meal for the first time in a while. Recently, I’ve been eating nothing but cup noodles and snacks at the recording sessions!! On the way home, I at a hamburg o(^-^)o It came with cake!! Delicious!! Tomorrow I have to do a singing performance. I’m nervous o(^-^)o


**In Japan, there are hamburgers (hanbaagaa), which are what you get at McDonalds with the bun and stuff, and also hamburg (hanbaagu) which is more like a little meatloaf patty served with rice and sauce.

Andy Delis

G’morning; Teruki death! Thanks for all the hard work at yesterday’s live at Shibuya O-WEST! Recently, we’ve been stuck underground in the recording sessions so it was fun to do a live! But unsurprisingly, I like one-mans better. (*^_^*) There were requests for us to play the new song already, but it’s not quite there yet…. And so, I’m going to the studio by myself today. Unzu will be there too. That’s right, at the live yesterday, my hair didn’t get in the way at all, did it? When it’s not pinned, I can’t see the audience, the rest of the band, or the drums…. And so, after the life, I cut my hair! I can get a comb through it really easily! The length was only shortened a little, but it’s a real improvement. This hair, which get puffy in the wind or rain feels all silky. I’m become a handsome Teruki (^_^)v


September 9th, 2005

English from Kanon

Today, after I heard the routine announcement in the train of “This train is bound for ~ through ~”, I heard an English version after that, and I was able to figure out where it was bound for so I was thinking I was a little cool….
…Now that I’m writing it in the diary though, I’m thinking I’m not so cool after all (ーωー`) ‘Cause, well, the name of the place is the same as in Japanese, right?
Ah, I want to become fluent in English.
And then when I go to see a movie in English with subtitles, I’ll laugh at a different time than everyone around me who is reading the subtitles. Mwahahahaha, bold laughter.

Well, but, if I have time to study English like that, I should probably be worried about An Café instead, lol.
If I become able to talk in English, people will think I have no job anymore. Somehow. Haha.


September 10th, 2005

Cooking with Kyuupie** in 39 minutes o(^-^)o

This kind of thing also can’t be said in that kind of world ♪ Poimisu!!*** Yes. It’s the first KTM lesson in a while, and it’s bear-tracks Miku o(^-^)o
Since the vocal recording was over early today, I went out with my family for a little while!!
My little sister drove, and that was scary. It was dangerous (>_<)
For the first time in a while, a lesson in family cooking o(^-^)o
The way to make cream croquette cream!! (For two people)

Onion…1/4
Butter…1.5 Tbsp
Flour…3 Tbsp
Milk…1 cup

Mince the onion, and fry it in a pan until it’s turned brown. Then add the flour, and mix it into a powdery texture, and then add milk. You can also add salt, pepper, or even corn or broccoli, and it will be delicious then too o(^-^)o

As for the frying part, I suck at that so I don’t understand it o(^-^)o


**Kyuupie is a brand of mayonnaise
***This is just a guess, but I think he’s singing lyrics from a song, and maybe this is the band who does the song. Not sure though….

Marcus Groskof

G’morning; Teruki death! Yesterday I didn’t record anything at the studio so I did a major cleaning of my room. I always maintain a certain level of keeping things in order as a rule, but yesterday I really worked hard at it. I properly aired out my futon too. In the evening, I went with Kanon-kun to pay our rent, and renewed our lease. We’ll be staying in the place we have now for another two years. I like the place we have now, but I feel like I’m gradually getting sick of this area so the two of us talked about moving the new time we have to renew. But for that to happen, An Café has to sell more…(^_^;) On the way home, we ended up buying 100 boxes for packing, and they are still stacked up in our place.
Today I’m practicing together with Yuuki-shi from Unzu. Off I go (^_^)v


September 12th, 2005

Max Coffee o(≧∀≦)o

I had to rush out to my nyappy o(≧∀≦)o session in a hurry today!! It was close!! I had fun o(^-^)o
Today, I got a strange coffee. It seemed like it’s a limited edition item!! It was really sweet o(^-^)o

Somehow, when you have bad eyesight and you wear these sunglasses, the light is blocked and you become able to see things well from far away!!
It came out as a test product so I wasn’t sure I believed it, but when I tried wearing it, I looked really stupid, but I could see well Σ(ーωー)
Bad fashion taste, but, you know, I could see well ∑(゜ω゜)
However, the tagline said by the kid on the package of this product is randomly mature, and it’s really fascinating.
But items like this require money so I couldn’t but it. Crying laugh.


September 13th, 2005

Tofu Approval o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today I went to the studio and wrote lyrics and I cooked so I was really busy!! Recently there’s no time to sleep (>_<)
But I’m not very sleepy. Mysterious (*_*)
Oh, right, did anyone make the cream croquettes?? I hope they were delicious. Today I ate the food I’d been dreaming of at last. I’ve liked since I can remember, but I didn’t have the courage to buy it. Well, I ate it at last, and it was great o(≧∀≦)o


In other news, there’s a live at East tomorrow!! I’m going to work so freaking hard o(^-^)o I’m counting on you guys to cheer like crazy o(≧∀≦)o


September 14th, 2005

Bou, who thanks you so much

Today we did a live at East. I was thinking that there was no way that my birthday would celebrated even a little at a live so I was really happy and completely touched ＼(^O^)／
I was moved by what the members did, the candles stuck in my pork set, and the beautiful singing voices I heard from you guys, so I was very happy ☆彡
I got a lot of presents! Thank you (^^)v
I’m going to open them now, and I’m so grateful that I’m crying (*^_^*)
Wow, we’ll be going to Nagoya and Osaka and other places down that way so I’m looking forward to meeting everyone! I want to meet everyone soon ＼(^O^)／ Even though I’m another year older, I haven’t changed….
Bou, who’s the best in the world
Bou, who’s the best in space
I was the absolute best Bou I could be.


September 14th, 2005

I have to do my best o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! Today we did a live at East o(≧∀≦)o Thanks for all the hard work. Today we also had Bou’s birthday, and it was the best live for me personally o(^-^)o Thanks for your passionate cheers everyone. Soon we’re going to other areas!! I’m looking forward to it.
Well, recently, I’ve had insomnia. Even though I haven’t been sleeping much, I can’t sleep and I wake up in the middle of the night…. And so, I made curry (>_<) It took two hours (*^_^*) I did it along with a TV program, and I added lots of things like garlic, butter, chocolate, and yogurt o(≧∀≦)o I tasted it, and it was freaking delicious o(^-^)o Lets eat it tomorrow afternoon!


Wait…what am I saying…? I’ve got to complete the lyrics by tomorrow at two (ToT)
Let’s work hard!!


Setember 16th, 2005

From Red Café

Happy Birthday, Bou-kun ☆



September 16th, 2005

My heart is filled…Bou

Today is my birthday (*^_^*) Meow.
From the moment it changed into today, the members, our make-up person, and manager came to meet me (^^)v
But I was able to eat steak somehow! It was sooo good ☆彡 I’m happy!
Because of the members and the staff and because I got to meet all of you who are supporting me, I’m really happy ＼(^O^)／ A life like this is a wonderful one (>_<)
I truly thank you! I gained another year, but nothing have changed; I’m still going to be me and be true to myself. That’s my firm belief. Meow meow is good (^^)v Yep.
Cutest and best in the world (^^)v Yep.
Coolest and best in space (^^)v Yep.
Seriously, thank you! I will work hard! I will be able to work hard!! Oh, it’s this time already; I should sleep…. Congrats on your love and thoughts. And, please go on o(^-^)o


September 17th, 2005

Kiki’s Delivery Service

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today is Bou-kun’s birthday ☆ The way we celebrated his birthday today was sake, sake, sake.
Yesterday, I should have gone with the members and staff to celebrate Bou-kun’s birthday from the instant the day changed, but Unzu was moving to Osaka so I wasn’t there. But, it wasn’t that bad. It’s not a bad thing that I wasn’t there. Bou-kun’s house is close to mine so we’re together a lot and it’s not like he’s saying things to me like, “You didn’t celebrate my birthday with me”. Because we’re not just close; we’re family (^_^)v The day changed, and at Unzu’s Yuuki’s house: sake, after the Osaka arrival rehearsal: sake, after the performance backstage: sake, even in the car on the way back to Tokyo right now: sake…while typing this on my cellphone, I’m spilling it (>_<) Today’s performance was a lot better than Area from the time before. I was able to do it properly. But even though I was so freaking drunk, I memorized the song so that I can do it without making one mistake! It was more practice. The drums I play for An Café and the drums I play for Unzu are really different, but the things I learn when I’m with Unzu really are able to benefit An Café. Because there’s already been a concrete response on a lot of things!
From the 19th, it’s Nagoya/Osaka/Tokyo/Sendai so please look forward to it!


September 17th, 2005

Nostalgic o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today it was really nostalgic all day!! I went to play at my middle school alma mater. It was really nostalgic, and it made me sad somehow. I really like the past. I explored everywhere, even places like behind the gym. I was finally able to perform my special talent to my friends of flipping on the metal pole.
I was happy that they were surprised o(^-^)o
But when I thought about the years gone by, I realized that all of us will eventually turn into old men too, and I returned home crushed (ToT)


The included picture is my middle school o(^-^)o I’ll boast that it has a big playground o(^-^)o Well, goodnight m(_ _)m


September 18th, 2005

Lazy-bones o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. I had all day off today so I did personal practice, listend to a CD, read letters, and relaxed the day away o(≧∀≦)o Being lazy is good!! Every once and a while.
I slept for a long time. Then I went to eat a meal with my family and came back o(^-^)o It was delicious!! I’m looking forward to Nagoya and Osaka, which are coming up soon (*^_^*)


September 19th, 2005

Nose-bleed and sleepiness and packing from Kanon

On TV now, they are doing the Akiba-kei** Championships, so I cleverly yet carelessly set my TV to tape it, and I watched it.
I got into it while eating cheechiku (chikuwa with cheese in it), thinking, “Wow, ‘OTL’ really thinks about lots of great things like the type of person who is the “Tsundere” type – a person who although usually stoic will be lovey-dovey around the person of the opposite sex (no, could be the same sex too, I guess) that they like – or the types of face shapes (body shapes?) that make people fall to their knees.”
Somehow, I remember the kogal*** from a long time ago who was talking about things like MK5 (she was seriously able to do it in under five seconds).
Kogal and Akiba-kei are unchanging things, lol.
The words “All mankind is a family” will really strike properly for the first time.
I’m not saying that you should use that as an excuse to take your friend’s highlighter whenever you want though.
You have to ask permission first.
Anyway, man, I have pack. Nagoyawn.****
Work hard, work hard, yeah, yeah, Gosaka****


**Likely, the term “Akiba-kei” is referring to anime otaku.
***Kogal is a term for a certain look. They are girls who wear a lot of make-up and have big hair and stuff. Basically it’s a fashion thing.
****He made combined words with Nagoya and Osaka so I did the same thing.


September 20th, 2005

All day Nagoya o(≧∀≦)o
It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today we had an in-store in Nagoya!! Thanks for all the hard work. I was happy that so many people came to see us. Thank you very much!! As expected going to Nagoya for the first time in a while is nice o(^-^)o
Well, after the in-store, I went to see my friend’s live, and went to the studio. It was fun o(≧∀≦)o Ahh, I’ve reached my limit on sleepiness so goodnight o(^-^)o Tomorrow we have a live. I hope it’s a fun live. I’ll be working hard so you guys should too o(^-^)o Well, goodnight.


September 20th, 2005

Landrew-san

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today was an in-store at the Nagoya Like an Edison store. It’s been almost half a year since we did an in-store in Nagoya. It seems like a lot of people at today’s in-store came with the goal of buying the third CD in the trilogy of singles, and even though it was the first day that it went on sale, a lot of people came for that! I was really thankful. I was happy, and tonight I went to the studio to prepare for tomorrow! I have to do my best to repay you guys!!
By the way…the HEY!HEY!HEY! thing (^_^;) didn’t happen. I’m sorry if you were expecting it! If it was a different week…. I told my parents “It’ll probably happen”, so I’m a little disappointed. But, I’ll work hard so that there will be a day when we will be able to make it happen for sure! If anyone was glued to the TV today, I’m sorry. Goodnight.


September 21st, 2005

I’m outta here o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today we did a live in Nagoya! Thanks for all the hard work. It was the first time in a while that we were in Nagoya so I was really excited and looking forward to the live, but the audience was more energetic than ever o(^-^)o I really thank you for working hard o(^-^)o We’re coming back again next month!! We’re already in Osaka now o(^-^)o
I will work hard for our return to Nagoya!! The attached pic is Special Giant Purin!!


It was seriously delicious. They didn’t skimp on the size o(^-^)o


September 22nd, 2005

Octopus Dog and Nyapy o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! Today we had a live in Osaka. It was hella** fun!! Thanks for all the hard work o(^-^)o I was really touched at the end (;_;)
And I also ate an octopus dog today. It was delicious, as expected!! Kiteretsu!! When you come to Osaka, try eating one, everybody o(^-^)o
Tomorrow, there’s an Osaka in-store! Let’s work hard!
I want to hurry up and become a band that will tour the whole country (ToT)
People in other places, please wait for us, okay? o(^-^)o


**I used “hella” because Miku used a word that’s part of Osaka dialect so I wanted to use something that was a little different; btw, I’m not the first person to translate “mecha” as “hella”, lol


September 22nd, 2005

Circular Sakura Tears

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Thanks for the hard work at Nagoya and Osaka!
Since there were a lot of bands at Nagoya Quattro the other day, I had to think about how An Café could stand out in that kind of situation. When we were talking after the live, of course, us four members had been feeling the same thing. And so, the four of us members completely talked out what we felt at the Nagoya live, and the next day we took on that challenge in Osaka! I think that the result was a success! I definitely felt a response. There will be another tour going through Nagoya and Osaka on the 14th and 15th of next month so I want you come and see us if you can! The people in Nagoya will probably easily be able to see how we’ve changed (^_^)v
Today there was an in-store in Osaka, but no matter how many times we go to Like an Edison in Osaka, I never understand how to get there…. It took a lot of time. The Kanon-kun Sandal Event also had a lot to do with why it took so much time, lol. In any case, it was just like in Nagoya; a lot of people came to see us. Thank you all so much! We’ll work hard so please look forward to next time!


September 23rd, 2005

Nagoya, Nagoya, Osaka, Osaka from Kanon

Nagoya in-store, Nagoya Quattro
Osaka Muse, Osaka in-store, thanks for all the hard work, everyone, truly (ーωー)ノ☆
It was short, but I think it was a worthwhile trip.
Oh, man, the only lives left are the Astro one-man, Nagoya, and Osaka next month and the one-man as EAST in December.
I think that I want to savor each one.
You guys too should enjoy them one by one so that you’ll have no regrets.
If you enjoy them and act like you’re partying with us, that would be good (^-^)
But, well, that might be asking a little too much (lol)
Thank you, all you cafekkos; I love you…a lot.
(｀・ω・)ノシ

In other news, Bou-kun was able to clear the first level of Super Mario Brothers on the Gameboy Micro ridiculously fast, and I don’t think that’s how the people who made the game expected people to play it, but it’s really hard to do. I like it.
Among the best times were Teruki and Bou-kun who had a remaining time of 346 seconds (the starting time was 400 seconds)
If you have a chance to play Mario, definitely try it out.


September 23rd, 2005

Thanks o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. I returned home safely!! Thanks for all the hard work at the Osaka in-store. I was really nervous at the in-store. But it was really fun. Even though I’m happy if you just come to see us, I really appreciate the letters and presents and stuff (>_<) You already go through all the trouble of spending money on the concert tickets and CDs so thanks so much. They are precious to me o(^-^)o
When I read the letters that I received on this tour inside the car, I felt like I was going to cry when I read what the songs mean to you guys. People wrote things like “I was supported by your songs” or “Hearing your songs cheers me up” or “I was moved”. I was really happy to hear things like that. Thank you. And now, goodnight. And so, and so, goodnight.


September 24th, 2005

It’s herekatsu, for serious o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! Today we did an in-store in Tokyo. Thanks for all your hard work!! I was really happy that a lot of people came to see us (>_<) Thank you, everyone, feather serious** (lol) I was excited to do an in-store in Tokyo for the first time in a while, but I’m glad we got through it safely. Right now, I just finished reading the letters at home. Thank you so much, you guys. I was touched o(^-^)o Every single word still remains in my heart. I’m counting on your support from now on too!! Oh, I attached a picture of the express parking’s herekatsu.


Not hirekatsu, herekatsu o(^-^)o
It’s misspelled*** o(≧∀≦)o


**Miku used the same thing he did in the title, but he spaced out “Arigatou” so that it seemed to have an “u” sound in the front, which makes it sound like feather. Yeah, Japanese puns are weird, just go with it.
*** It also says minchi katsu instead of menchi katsu…oops, lol.

Like an Edison from Kanon

Yesterday there was an in-store event at the Tokyo Like an Edison
Thanks for all the hard work (ーωー)ノ
I was happy that so many people came to see us.
I think it was the most people we’ve ever had come so far
Thank you so much everyone
That’s right, it was announced yesterday, but
Our first full album will be released November 9th ☆


Limited edition CD (11 tracks) + DVD (four PVs + amazing bonus video) [3800 w/tax]
Released at the same time:
Regular edition CD (11 tracks) [2800 w/tax]

That’s them.
To have the PVs is another 1000 yen.
That’s what it comes down to.
By the way, on the back cover of the special edition of our CD, hevn, that we released for our third year anniversary, there’s a comment CD. I listened to it, but
I’m the only one where you can’t understand what I’m getting at,
And I really stand out from every so I’m grossly embarrassed (lol)
Anyway, anyway, look forward to the album in November, everyone

The Us

G’morning; Teruki death! Thanks for all the hard work at Sendai and Tokyo!
The day before yesterday, the 23rd, there was an in-store in Tokyo, and I had been feeling crappy since the morning, and I took some medicine, but as soon as I came out in front of everyone, I felt completely fine! A switch was flipped. It had been a while since the last one so our desire to talk couldn’t be helped, seriously. But when we were shaking hands, a lot of people told me “Teruki-san, your hand is cold” so I was pretty anxious about that (^_^;) For the photography part, I was fairly surprised by the amount of people! I was really happy. Thank you for coming, everyone!
Yesterday, the 24th, we arrived in Sendai in the morning, and starting in the evening, we did a radio broadcast then an in-store. I was really nervous for the radio part! Of course, when you do it alone, it’s completely different. More than usual, besides feeling small, I really had no self-confidence…for that broadcast. If I can get used to it, then it should be enjoyable, right? I wasn’t nervous at all at the in-store after that, and I was able to talk like crazy! Everyone was close by so the reaction was good too. I was somehow really relieved that so many people came to see just me on the radio and at the in-store. I was happy. I really want to give it up for the person who came from Tokyo! Thanks, everyone. After the in-store, I participated as a guest on NHK-FM-san, but I think that it was the people in the station – of course, the local livehouse people, shop people, band artists, and other related people – who really made it a good broadcast for everyone. It was the first time for me to see it work like that. It was wonderful. They were totally conscious of each other while doing their job, and exchanged opinions with just a look, and when you do it like that, it’s not hard to do the broadcast. But I wonder if that isn’t just the power of alcohol, you know?
The entry got really long! Until we get back to Tokyo, I’m going to sleeeep a little.

Meeting at Suidoubashi from Kanon

Today I received a ticket from a staff member so I was taken to see a live with the members and our manager.
We arranged to meet at Suidoubashi station at 4:00.
I was probably the first one there.
After I was spacing out for a while, I got mail from our manager that said “I’m in front of ‘Takobou’.” So I hurried that way, and joined up with him safely.
After entering the concert hall, we sat in our seats, and these seats were, again, from a staff member at the cool and kind office and they were really good seats that we could easily see from.
The live was really great, and I enjoyed it.
It seemed to me like there were some junior high students who were seeing a live for the first time, watching it like they were thinking, “Wow, I want to be like that too!”
I developed my first impulse to be in a band when I went to a concert too.
I’m looking forward to the one-man next week (>ω<)
Oh, man, I’m getting anxious.

Takobou o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today I went out to see a live!! I was shocked by how awesomely cool it was. Entering Tokyo Dome for the first time was really meaningful for me o(^-^)o It was the first time going there ever, and various things lit up before my eyes!! I felt like I was going to cry while I was watching it; it was awesome. I had so much fun. I also have to work hard. Yep. I want to do a wonderful live!! But more than anything, the extreme spice takoyaki I ate at the designated Takobou meeting place was indeed really spicy (-. -;)

Hammer Brothers

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Yesterday after the arrival in Tokyo, I was able to go see Larc-san** at Tokyo Dome! It was the first time going to Tokyo Dome, but we were really close to the stage so I didn’t get an idea of how vast a space it was f^_^; But I’m really grateful to the staff member who got us seats so close up because I could really see everything clearly! There were two screens as well, but that didn’t really give you the same image as you saw by being up close…. I really learned so much from them yesterday! As a band and as performers.
About five years ago exactly, I saw LUNA SEA perform at a place called The Imperial Palace’s Grandy 21, and at that time I was just as close up and just as inexperienced so when I felt that overwhelming feeling at being able to see them, I remembered that time. I learned a lot yesterday too, but I remembered when I merely longed to become a rock star all those years ago.
And so, today I went to the studio. Starting today, I’m going to do a complete changeover for the Astro Hall one-man.


**He’s talking about Larc’en’ciel

It’s prime. from Kanon

Today we did the mastering at the recording studio. We finished it today.
Also, I’ll be ecstatic if the completed jacket has a good feeling to it.
By the way, today and yesterday, I parted my hair the opposite way, and it was like that for a long time, but it seems like no one noticed. (ーωー｀)

Ti-Tiramisu and creamy red bean sauce o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today we were at the studio to prepare for the one-man! After that, I went to the see the live of our friend and roadie, Yurippe.
They are called Repo D.
When I saw the live, I thought that the image of our roadie trying his best was kind of cute!! He’s a man, but I’m definitely not gay (lol) The sight of him working so hard was amazing. He’s a good roadie. I saw his live, and I thought that I definitely have to make the one-man a success!
Before the live, I went to Jonathans**. When I go to Jonathans, no matter what, I have to get the creamy read bean sauce…. But since it’s so good, it can’t be helped.


When I got home, I made tiramisu. All I had to do was add milk, but it was seriously delicious. You guys should all try eating it too. Goodnight.


**Jonathans is a family restaurant in Japan.

Thinness…of Bou

Well, right now. The one-man is coming up (>_<) I can’t wait ☆彡
I’ll be doing my best so please cheer for me (*^_^*)
Today, I didn’t eat anything all day and by the time I noticed it, it was ten o’clock at night. That was really tough.
So I had dinner at the station (^^)v


It was curry flavored cup noodles! If I say curry flavored cup noodles, I remember….
That incident….
The one that happened in the middle of recording….
This guy (he helps manage An Café’s various jobs) said, “I’m going out to buy cup noodles, Bou-chan ☆彡” so I asked for curry flavored cup noodles, and when he gave it to me, he had lovingly added lots of hot water for me already (a freaking lot of it). And then, there was a lot of hot water!! The curry was thin! I was upset….
I didn’t think I’d like it, but the thin curry tasted better!
For a while I debated…fought…lol.
It’s already tomorrow now, isn’t it…?
This time I tried eating the curry noodles with somewhat less water…
I can’t say it loudly, but…it was delicious (T_T) lol
Well, starting from tomorrow, let’s drown our manager with love from the strength of our reflections!!
Of course, I’ll also drown all of you who have cheered for me with just as much love o(^-^)o

A story from the 29th from Kanon

Today we filmed stuff.
It was for the special image on the DVD attached to the album.
The special image isn’t outtakes from the PVs. It’s not what you’d expect.
Of course, we shot the special image so I want you all to see it. (◎ω◎)
