Nyappy o(≧ω≦)o

Everyone, it's nyappy ♪ Miku!! Did everyone see the website alright? I'm worried. We haven't done a live in almost a month, but is everyone healthy?? An Cafe is lonely, but we're making music and trying our best!! Of course, Miruku is also healthy. We're doing only lives in March so I'm happy. Be careful of colds. Bye bye-bee o(>∀<)o

March 8th, perfect for fu, fu, fu

Anyhow, the green-neck Daikon raddish is cute, anyhow.... Crap. Ah, I want to eat an Oden Daikon raddish (ーωー) fu, fu, fu (blowing on food).
That's right, today, I went to Miku's house to see Miruku, and she was cute x2 (It's always from here.)
I somehow understand that Miku said he wanted to tease Miruku (ーωー) fu, fu, fu (giggling).
Tomorrow for this first time in too long, we have a live in Saitama.
I won't let anyone call Saitama Daisaitama. Also it's cruel to call Chiba and Ibaragi Chibaragi.*

*NOTE: Daisaitama insinuates that Saitama is uncivilized. Chibaragi is saying that Chiba and Ibaragi are so small that they don't deserve to be two separate places.

Thirty ninth day o(>∀<)o

Today was my day!! I decided to make it my day on my own o(>∀<)o But we had a live, and that made it better yet!! I ate cake at the celebration!! I ate snacks that I recieved and sushi. A day like today, is it good?? From tomorrow I will diet again (*_*) Wasn't the pollen dangerous today? My eyes were itchy and earlier I sneezed about six times in a row (laugh). Even though my pollen allergies should be cured, it has returned (;_;). Does anyone have a way to counter pollen?? As for me, the leaf extract of a Shiso plant is really kiteretsu o(>∀<)o

Teruki Death*

This is Teruki. This is the first day of work at RedCafe. Because the equipment that I have been using since high school broke, I have placed an order for new ones.
As expected, it's lonesome without the equipment I used for such a long time.
Until now, we've done our best together and I am grateful to the equipment.
After it came, I made music. Whenever there is time, I must do my best.

*Death and desu (Japanese word for "is") are written the same in Japanese so Teruki writes "death" in English instead of the Japanese desu, but it basically means, "This is Teruki."


March 11th, 2005
Ohh!

I won on a Homerun Ice Cream Bar ☆ Woohoo!

Kanto Region Tour

Today, it ended. Yes.
From the 20th, An Cafe is turning, turning, turning ♪ toward Kansai, northeast, and Niigata (Nakajima **yuki)
I have to pack.
Ah, but it's still early. It's still early; it's still early....
It will definitely be the case that I leave the packing for the night right before we leave. (ーωー) Sigh.

Celebration to Commemorate 100 Times o(>∀<)o

Nyappy -> o(≧ω≦)o It would seem that today is our 100th live o(>∀<)o Congrats!! Also, today is my graduation ceremony. March 11th is a day to celebrate one way or another!! But graduation can also be a sad day, right...? It's a complicated break.
But 100 times seems like a lot, but it doesn't feel like a lot. I have so many various memories, and I can't count them all. Thank you, everyone. From now on, as I was before, I will try my best, and because I need to step it up, please support us o(>∀<)o That's right, I remembered at graduation!! Riirii from Charisma Rowdy (Mr. M) had all of his buttons taken at his graduation ceremony!! That's awesome. He's very popular. o(>∀<)o By the way, my buttons were all safe o(>∀<)o because it's an all-boy's school. That's my excuse (laugh).


March 13th, 2005
In-store

It's nyappy o(>∀<)o Mikusuke!! The in-store was fun!! Thank you, everyone. Nyappy hasn't become popular, and I'm disappointed (;_;) I hope it's popular next time!! Thank you for the letters and presents. They made me happy!! They are precious to me. o(>∀<)o Tomorrow we are going to rehearse a new song!! We may play the new song at the upcoming live. Everyone, look forward to the new song o (≧ω≦)o

3/12 Amedama Rock In-store Event

Yesterday, we performed at Tokyo's Like an Edison.
To everyone who participated in the in-store event, thank you.
It became cold and cloudy today so, as for your health and catching colds, are you okay?
While thinking, "I wish it would become spring", Red Cafe is in business starting today.
BTW, I will deliver a glimpse of the scene from yesterday.

Picture 1: At the meet and greet, the staff also took pictures seriously.

Picture 2: At the entrance of Like An Edison Tokyo, there is an extra large billboard.

Picture 3: Actually, the place has moved to a studio inside Tokyo, and for the live concert the members had to prepare a lot of things until midnight.

*Engineer Kanon, great contribution!!

Tomorrow at Shibuya O-EAST, there is a performance event.
Let's meet at the live house.

Five toes, five toes ( ーωー)=3

So today.
For the first time, I wore socks that have the toes separated, and it was really interesting (ーωー) Weeeeeird.

Shibuya O-East

Today was the last Tokyo live until the one-man.
It seems that the sentence ↑ is complicated.
Hmm...I'm lonely, heeey. (・ω・。)
Today was also fun. Yep.
Please wait for O-East. Little punks. (ーωー)
Next, for the people who live outside of Tokyo, please wait for us, and we will try our best at all the places with all our energy.

So, oyasuminminzemi (combination of goodnight(oyasumi) and cicada(minminzemi).
I want to have good dreams.


March 14th, 2005
Live in Shibuya Ward

It's nyappy o(>∀<)o Miku!
Today was a live at East!! First of all, it was an awesome feeling. Thanks to everyone. o(>∀<)o Thank you. Thanks to everyone's power, we enjoyed performing live. I hope today was the best White Day for you. o(≧ω≦)o Soon we will do a live outside of Tokyo. We are looking forward to it. Please wait for it!!
Is everyone ready??
3, 2, 1, Tiramisu ♪ Tiramisu ♪
Thank you very much. Yo.

I'm in the middle of cleaning the room...

A short break, thanks for all the hard work. WIth the goal of working for two week, Teruki death. Thanks for all the hard work at yesterday's Like-a-san (Like An Edison) event at O-East! I was happy that the new song was also received rather favorably. Moreover, compared to the O-East Secret two weeks ago, there was a big response in regard to us. The evaluation from the honored people in charge was very good. V(^-^)V Thank you, thank you, Manager-san. By the way, when I saw yesterday's questionnaire, things like, "This was my first An Cafe live!" and "This is my second time!" were written by some people. To those people, the one-man will be more interesting! We have various songs for you to hear still and the group's charm too so please try becoming fully satisfied at the one-man. And so, thanks for all the hard work of reading this!

Anecdote from that short break

Hi, I am Kanon.
Today I walked quite a bit.
Because I was tired, I rested on a bench.
Then, I said things like, "Let's go, An Cafe's Kanon!" and "Let's go, Athron, Zala, Justice!" to get myself up again. And then, my feet felt light and they moved forward quickly. I was surprised at how much taking a short break made a difference.
But then I realized that the road was going downhill...
(-□-)Daa...

169 Miku

It's nyappy o(>∀<)o Miku!
Sorry to keep you Miruku fans waiting.

This is a recent Miruku-chan. o(>∀<)o Isn't she cute?? She's a treasure. But when I tried to cut the hair by myself, it was a disaster (;_;) It's short...Dangerous!!


March 17th, 2005
How do you do?=It's Bou (^_-)

It's my first day of work. Sorry for taking a break, shop manager (>_<) Be lenient ==okay? (^_-)
Today I got really hungry and I made dinner by myself. But the ingredients were only frozen rice, bacon, and eggs. Bou-kun thought about it. Then I made it. The rice was stir-fried in a frying pan, and I put ketchup on the rice. Success. I challenged myself to make sunny-side up eggs, but the lower side of the eggs was burned black and the yolk was not cooked through. It was a great failure.
To make matters worse, the bacon was too hard. Booo. But it was delicious(^^)v Yes!

Please look at the image I posted! I-will-give-you Bou-kun's home cooking = (*^_^*)


March 18th, 2005
Eki no Koe wa Ekou (Voice echoing in the station) (Kanon is making a joke because eki no koe and echo sound alike)

I felt that the station announcement today was delivered in a kind way.
Kanon


March 20th, 2005
Packing is also safely completed

We're off on the tour (ーωー)/゛

March 20th, 2005
Basically Unhappy

Thanks for all your hard work. Teruki death.
The tour finally starts today!
The feeling is"wait for us, everyone! (^-^)", and even though I feel like this, my whole body hurts. I have an awful bruise....
The other day, during a break in the photoshoot, everyone played "anything-goes basketball".
We were too serious about it, and all the people who played except Mik-kun got sore.

Furthermore, last night, I did my best to work until morning, fighting off my sleepiness.
I was staggering a little, and I ran into the door.
The explanation is difficult, but the way I banged into it was bad and it became an extremely pitiful situation. The doorknob went into my stomach and it seems that I lost consciousness for a moment. (-_-#)
After I fell asleep and woke up, there was a bruise on my knee.
I hope that this tour will finish safely. Fight! Go!

Wagamama Koushinkyoku PV Photoshoot

The other day, in a certain place, four people carried out the recording of the PV photoshoot for Wagamama Koushinkyoku, which is the first song on "Karakuri Hitei", which goes on sale March 30th.

It was raining that day unfortunately.
Even though spring was near, it was still a cold day.
But, a certain certain was loaned to us for the entire day!! Something like that is on a considerably large scale.
Because the photoshoot was indoors, there were no problems and we could continue.
We met at six in the morning and left at nine at night. It was a hard schedule!
We were surrounded by a wonderful staff, and with great excitement, we safely finished the photoshoot.

Here is a little sample of that day's events.

*Kanon, playing and turning toward the camera

*Four people holding boards for some reason? Wait and see...

*The school. It's like we're in the middle of class.

*Checking the monitor to validate the movement.

*Last is the intense musical performance scene. We are still in the middle of the setting.

And so, the PV photoshoot progressed like this.
We would complete something really cool for the sale date.

We will be posting news updates about this PV on the website.
Please, please try checking it.

Departure Poppou!! o(≧ω≦)o Miku

It's nyappy!! Miku. The tour is starting-ovation today.o(>∀<)o
Farewell, Miruku and cafekkos! Watch the house for me. o(>∀<)o But even preparing took a ridiculous amount of time!! That's the fate of a (blood)type A, I guess. Today was a live in Osaka, and it was fun. I only slept for two hours, but the live was fun. Thanks to that, I'm not sleepy now. o(>∀<)o I was hungry so I bought food. It's called Kyabekkotaki, and it only caust 100 yen!! ・゜゜(>_<)゜゜・ It was thrifty!! That's dangerous. It was a brand new kind of food.

Alright, after this, let's do weight training!! Goodnight. o(≧ω≦)o


March 21st, 2005
Working consecutively

Thanks for all your hard work! Working hard on my day off in the middle of the tour, Teruki death. Thanks for all the hard work at today's Osaka Am-hall. None of the members of the band slept, and we were fighting off sleepiness until the last minute before we got on stage. But the performance was put on without incident. Thank you so much to everyone who came to see us. GOing to Osaka for the first time in two months really felt great. (^_^)v I hope we can do more stylish one-man tours! I'll do my best. And so, goodnight. (-.-)zzZ

In the morning, taking a bath in Niigata

Hello, it's Kanon.
Because I've been forgetting to write my name on my entries, I'm going to put it at the beginning. Sigh.
So, in the morning, I went to take a bath in a large public bath house.
My god, the open air bath was awesome ☆(*ーωー) aaaaaaahhhhhhh.
Today I'm going to do my best at Niigata Z-1. Ha, ha.
And so, I'm going to buy milk. (´・ω・)


March 23rd, 2005
Subtropics, Niigata!

Thanks for all the hard work! Teruki death. Niigata is so amazingly good! We were good too, but everyone else was good too! Wasn't it a good live? Thanks to today's live, our bookings in Niigata will probably increase, right? I hit my head again, but I'm okay. Niigata is a hot place, isn't it? Thank you!


March 23rd, 2005
Open air bath, Miku

It's nyappy o(≧ω≦)o Miku. Yesterday we did a live in Niigata!! It was aesome and fun. The people in Niigata were welcoming. I seriously thank you for a wonderful time. Thanks to everyone, we did our best. And after the live, I went to an open air bath. o(>∀<)o There were no strange men there, but it was a great feeling to get into a bath after a live!!
But my injury stung a lot o(>∀<)o
Sigh. I want to do a nation-wide tour. o(>∀<)o


March 24th, 2005
Sendai kara sendai towa Kakukakushikajika...kakuka (It's another of Kanon's word games and it means, "Living in Sendai from the previous generation, such and such...let's write.)

It's Kanon.
I got HOOKed by Sendai, HOOK, STEP, JUMP...
It's raining and cold outside.
I was sweating on stage; it was hot. That feeling ☆ was fun. Yes. (・ω・) Yay! Yay!
Ah, I will do my best.


March 24th, 2005
Cow tongue wrap

Thanks for all the hard work in Sendai! Teruki death. Being in my hometown made me strangely nervous. f^_^; But personally, I think that it was the best live in Sendai so far. The people in Sendai are all mild-mannered and when we did the in-store, I thought "It's quiet..." but the live was great! Thank you. Look forward to the show in May as well!! I love Sendai. V(^-^)V


March 25th, 2005
My parents' home IS the best o(≧ω≦)o

Hello, it's nyappy!! Miku. o(≧ω≦)o
I temporarily went back to my house. As expected, my parents' house is good!! It calms me. Also, it had been a long tim esince I saw Miruku. She's so cute.

Yesterday and today was a live and an in-store in Sendai, and it was fun. Thank you for all the letters and presents!! When I read your letters, I feel energetic. But since I've found something that I should reflect on, I think I have to do my best.
On another subject, my allergies are dangerous! Kanon told me about a week ago that it's counting down to the end of allergy season, but I wonder if that's true. Mucus is dangerous!! Egg whites are dangerous!!
Goodnight. o(>∀<)o


March 27th, 2005
It's regrettable

Thanks for all the hard work! Teruki death. Thanks for all the hard work yesterday at Stylish Wave in Nagoya! Personally, there was trouble, for the first tim ein a while, the live became somewhat regrettable. But I think it was better than the last live in Nagoya. (^-^) I will do my best on the thirty-day one-man! Ah, I wonder if we'll be able to sell out of the Nagoya one-man soon. So, people who are undecided should come (laugh) I went to the bath house with everyone tonight. I took an electric bath.


March 28th, 2005
It's Kanon

Osaka. Osakaa. Osakana (fish). San (Mr.)
It's the Shinsaibashi Music Hall fro the first time in a long time.
I can't express it well, but the live was fun as expected. Thanks.
Look forward to the one-man starting the day after tomorrow too. ☆
Well, do your best in high spirits!

Someone interfere by saying, "It sounds like someone else's problem".
No, wait, you should leave it as it is.
No, no, get to the heart of the matter....
No, no, x ∞
Thus, the night in Osaka will pass, that's it.
Yay


March 28th, 2005
Takoyaki o(≧ω≦)o

It's nyappy o(≧ω≦)o Miku. Thanks for all the hard work at the live and in-store in Osaka. Thanks for the presents and letters. I read all the letters. o(>∀<)o I'm such a lucky guy. Tomorrow's Osaka one-man will definitely be successful so cheer for us!! And then I went in the pool with Yurippe, the roadie. It was super cold. (Ｔ▽Ｔ) I lost my contact lens when I was swimming the crawl and diving. How unfortunate!!


March 29th, 2005
March 29th, Naniwa Bay ROCKETS

We sincerely thank everyone who came to Osaka's Naniwa Bay ROCKETS to see us!!



March 30th, 2005
I like it so much (*^_^*)

Thanks for all the hard work at the Osaka one-man! Teruki death. Thank you to everyone who came to see us. Did you have a good time? Today, for me personally and as a band, I reflected on the performances a lot. (*_*) But there is no mistaking that we've grown from the last time. But we have to raise the bar from the last tour. We're going to Nagoya tomorrow! Ah, it seems like this is becoming a gloomy diary entry, but the live was definitely fun! If all the people who came to see us felt the same, I'm happy. But, why do I always drop a stick in Osaka...(-_-#) I'm cursed.


March 30th, 2005
I came to Osaka, which IS cool o(>∀<)o

It's nyappy o(≧ω≦)o Miku. Today was a one-man in Osaka. Thanks to the people who came and thanks to those people who cheered for us at home for all the hard work. o(>∀<)o I was pleasantly surprised at the liveliness of Osaka (>_<) It' was fun. Thanks everyone. Because I wasn't expecting people to sing "Odoru Merhen Tokei" for us, I was incredibly touched. But today, I was horribly bad!! But since I hit the mark physically and emotionally, I'm satisfied. o(>∀<)o I'll reflect on what went wrong and do my best tomorrow in Nagoya!! Today, also, I went into the pool with Yurippe, the roadie. We played a game of tage, and I was tired as usual (>_<) The game probably lasted something like two hours. It's summer, it's the pool, kids are eating ice cream!!


March 30th, 2005
March 30th, Nagoya Ell Fits All

Today is a one-man in Nagoya.
We are patiently waiting for the large audience to settle in.

*We're in the dressing room. Today's strategy meeting?



March 30th, 2005
Amazing From Kanon

Roadie's muscles. Laugh.
We're doing an in-store tomorrow and we're finally returning to Tokyo.
Sendai, Niigata, Osaka, and then we did a one-man in Nagoya today, just like that, the time just flew by.
It was fun everywhere we went. Thank you.
Yep.
I made some good memories again. (*-ω-*) Fufun.


March 31st, 2005
It's not Nagoya, it's Power Nagoya!

Thanks for all the hard work on Nagoy's one-man! Sorry, Osaka, today our skills seems to have been revived by yesterday's reflection. (^-^)V It was good overall, wasn't it? Personally, I didn't have enough ability to concentrate on the drums.... But that's how it was yesterday too, but compared to the tour last time, I was able to play the drums better. It's for sure. (^-^)V I will do my best at (O)-East! Thanks for today!


March 31st, 2005
Nagoya o(>∀<)o

It's nyappy o(≧ω≦)o Miku o(>∀<)o. It was a one-man in Nagoya today!! It was fun. Thank you everyone. Today I took an electric bath!! I became able to endure it already. Recently, it was written by Miku, who loved the bath house.


March 31st, 2005
Last day of the tour

It's o(≧ω≦)o nyappy Miku. It was an in-store in Nagoya. I was nervous, but it was fun. Thanks everyone. But this time, I wasn't able to eat chicken wings or pork at Yabaton Restaurant. I wanted to sight-see. Right now, we're retunign home by car. I miss my parents' house!! I want to hurry and play with Miruku. o(≧ω≦)o
