Please show me your excitement o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku! Tomorrow will be a one-man day. I thank you enthusiastically! I was in rehearsal until just before this! I’m looking forward to the one-man so freaking much o(^-^)o Let’s have fun tomorrow, everyone o(≧∀≦)o I’ll be trying my hardest so please cheer me on! But I think that there are a lot of people who can’t come to Harajuku from other regions or people who can’t come because they’re busy. But I will sing as though my song will reach everyone!! Please listen carefully, okay? o(≧∀≦)o Well, I’m excited. 3. 2. 1 Tiramisu Tiramisu!!

Harajuku First Stage from Kanon

Yes, today was the first of the three Harajuku one-mans at Harajuku Ruiido.
It was hotter than I expected.
Honestly, lives are a sport. Show-off.
I wonder if we won against the shrine’s fireworks festival?
But I don’t really know what the standard is for winning or losing.
It was the first small livehouse in a while, so I was reminded of our first live somehow, and it was back to the beginning. Show-off. After going back to the beginning…humph.
Honestly, I’m really glad that nobody got hurt and today ended safely. Thanks for all the hard work, everyone. And well…you guys are the best.

An Café vs. the Fireworks Festival o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! Today was a one-man at Harajuku Ruiido. Thanks for working hard to cheer us on, whether you were there or not o(^-^)o
It was so fun that we didn’t lose out to the fireworks festival! However, I’m not saying that there’s no doubt that the An Café festival was more fun o(≧∀≦)o I wasn’t able to go to the fireworks festival in the end!
Today I was seriously happy and it was fun! Everyone enjoyed it a lot too o(^-^)o I’m happy. Seeing everyone’s smiling faces was way better than fireworks! That’s for sure o(^-^)o I like that recently there are shouts of “Mikuuuu!” mixed in with the other cheers o(≧∀≦)o
Well, it was hard on everyone today! I think that everyone did realy well mixed in with all the people and all that heat. Seriously, well done! It was a successful live because all of you worked together with us! Really, thank you so much (>_<)
I’ll continue to do my best from here on out so please support me o(≧∀≦)o


On the way home, I picked up something light at Baamiyan o(^-^)o I’m having ramen again (lol).


August 2nd, 2005

It was a valuable experience.

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today was the first of the three one-man shows! No, seriously, thank you for all the hard work. Out of all the lives so far, this one was the hardest, and I even thought, “Wasn’t this the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life?” (^_^;) Stamina-related that is. Because there were times when I was freezing during it. But there was the feeling that I could do it! Today was really like playing sports, lol. I think we were definitely worn out and had really desperate looks on our faces. It reminded me of a marathon…you’re walking along and when you lose the pace, it should be easy, but whether you win or lose there is decided by your own will. That’s the difference between running and head banging, lol. I’m really, really glad that everone is safe.
But I really think that I haven’t gotten any better at the drums than I was during the Tokyo/Nagoya/Osaka one mans in the spring. And during the encore, I fell apart a little bit…. I will keep today’s regret in my mind, and I want to do a better one-man next time. Ah, starting tomorrow, the tickets for Astro Hall will be going on sale to the public so please, please come if you can. Well, goodniiight!


August 3rd, 2005

Tornado Punk Man o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today there was a meeting at the office! I’m not sore from yesterday’s live yet. Tomorrow, it’s going to hurt like hell…(;_;)
On the way home, in the train, I met the hairdresser who always colors my hair for me o(^-^)o That name is also Punk man (lol) It’s not Mega man!! It’s a male hairdresser, but he’s a really interesting person o(≧∀≦)o When I saw that there was a man with pink hair in the same train car with me, I knew right away without looking that it was him!
So, anyway, today I ate something mysterious! It was something like chocolate potato chips! Even though it was salty, the outside was sweet! It’s was really mysterious. Sweet. But it definitely has a freaking huge amount of calories. Recently, I’ve only been talking about food; sorry about that (>_<)


August 4th, 2005

It’s summer. From Kanon

Ugh. It’s summer.


Today I went around Harajuku with everyone to look at the things we’re going to use in the upcoming photoshoot.
I was walking around all morning so it was so freaking hot.
By the way, on August 10th, there will be a series of air-cleansings**? A flier that sounded like that was the case was being handed out.
It seems like the climate of Tokyo will go down by half if everyone sprays water or something (Manager’s words)
That’s awesome. Yep.
After shopping, I went to the office carrying all my bags, and I watched a DVD with the manager. There was a lot of interesting things hidden in there.
Anyway, I’m going to see the live of a band that has been in our company before we got here. I’m going to be introduced to them so I was recommended to see them because I’m a music idiot and I can learn from them.
I’m looking forward to get new knowledge and inspiration.
If the amount of songs that we can do as An Café steadily increase that would be good.
And, well, I think that we will be able to increase them steadily because we’re An Café.
Please watch Café from here on without expectiation, lol.
Because we’re a band that’s weak under pressure, haha. (ーωー)ノシ


**So, there’s this thing where people spray water on the road and it’s supposed to clear the air or something. Never heard of it; I had to look it up in the dictionary.


August 4th, 2005

Poison o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Yesterday, I got my hair colored by Punk man.
Anyway, I watched a school drama called GTO, and it brought back memories o(^-^)o I used to think I wanted to be a teacher when I watched that show before!! Yep, yep. GTM….** I tried saying it, but… o(^-^)o Don’t pay any attention!! I won’t say it every again. Poison o(≧∀≦)o


Tonight it’s ramen again. I’m getting a little sick of it o(^-^)o


**GTO is Great Teacher Onizuka, so he says GTM meaning Great Teacher Miku.


August 7th, 2005

GTM is here o(≧ω≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today we did a photoshoot for Aasha. After that, I ate ramen with Teruki and our make-up person. Well, I got on a scale for the first time in a while and…it was the tiramisu (∋_∈) I’m in trouble!! No more ramen!! But yesterday was hard (>_<) We were shooting the PV from four in the morning until two at night. It’s just like becoming Hard Gay** o(≧∀≦)o Very hot!! But we did our best and it seems that we were able to make a kiteretsu PV. I think that the release date is coming up so please watch it!!
Anyway, I’ve started to get freaking serious about the GTM idea o(≧∀≦)o KTM*** is also kiteru!!
“I won’t forgive any jerk who tries to lay a hand on my students!” Yep, yep. That’s so cool.
I tried acting out that line!! I’m accepting applications for those who want to enter Mikusuke Academy. The school policy is TiRaMiSu. “Te” is for “tekesuta”****, “I” is for “Inrin”*****, “Ra” is more “ramen”.


I don’t know what “Mi” and “Su” are for, so just come up with something yourself o(≧∀≦)o
Goodnight (*_*)


**Hard Gay is a Japanese performer. If you want to risk the chastisty of your eyes, feel free to type him into YouTube and find videos of him. But don’t say I didn’t warn you!

***KTM is probably Kiteretsu Teacher Miku, again a pun on GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka

****In Japanese, Tiramisu is spelled Teiramisu, so that’s what Te and I are there.

*****Inrin is a Japanese comedian


August 7th, 2005

Studio from Kanon

Today, I woke up in the morning, watched Eureka Seven, went back to sleep, went to the studio with Teruki in the afternoon, just the two of us. It’s the so-called rhythm duo. It’s good that I was able to get confirmation from caution points.
Recently, with shooting the PV and doing the Aasha photoshoot day after day, I’m starting to feel tired easily.
It’s just a feeling though.


By the way, tomorrow is our manager’s wedding anniversary. Congrats.


August 8th, 2005

Huge shock

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death. Today, Kanon-kun and I practiced together, just the two of us. Because the new song will be coming out soon, if we don’t properactice** every day, problems will just keep increasing. Our practice is stressing the singles in the trilogy, but while the tempo of those three songs is calm, conversely there is a lot of variation in the rhythm and score. As the rhythm duo, this time we were better at making a point of putting the sounds together well, and I feel really good about it.
When I was a little depressed the other day, I read the letters that were sent to the office and I was cured. They weren’t any different from the letter I get at lives and the other letters that are delivered to the office. I think it’s just that they came while I was depressed so the encouraging words in those letters were a powerful sound. There are people to whom I am important so even if it’s difficult, I will try my best. In the same way that everyone is doing their best to support us, we will do our best to support you too. So you are all very important to us. So you all work hard too, okay? Instead of getting depressed, let’s think about a solution to our problems. Even if you’re feeling down, just going around like that is a waste of time and doesn’t solve anything. If you’re feeling depressed, there’s no choice but to put all your energy toward finding a solution. Doing things that way will quickly clear the fog so that the sun can come out.


**Teruki combined the words “mainichi” and “chanto” to make “mainichanto” so I decided to combine the words “practice” and “properly” as a way to mimic what he did.


August 9th, 2005

Announcement of those who have passed into Mikusuke Academy

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Thank you to those of you who applied to Mikusuke Academy (*^_^*) Of course, everyone passed! From today on you guys are kiteretsukko!** o(^-^)o
Everyone’s answers let them pass, but I prepared the model answers.
Tekesuta
Inrin
Ramen
Mikusuke
Sour socks
are the model answers. o(≧∀≦)o
You guys should aim for kiteretsu-like answers too!!
Today, I, KTM, will give you a lesson on snacks o(^-^)o
The senbei picture that I attached changes it’s flavor depending on the season!! That’s one amazing snack!!


Today I went to see a live o(^-^)o It was a wonderful live! It turned into a good lesson! I have to work hard (;_;)


**The fans are cafekko (café kids) so he’s calling them kiteretsukko (kiteretsu kids).
August 12th, 2005

Bou, who wants a Lamborghini

Today there was a live at AX. A ton of people came to see us and heard our music so I was very happy (*^_^*). Thanks to the furious practices the last few days, I was able to play the guitar wonderfully and satisfyingly; I’m content. I was able to be a guitar master! Yep (^^)v A lot of voices reached me! Thank you. To those in the other regions who couldn’t come but cheered us on, we’ll be coming to see you again so please wait for meow** (^_-). Because we’ll properly bring over wonderful things to those places without getting impatient (o^o^o).
And tomorrow the rumored Antic Café will open in Harajuku! I will try going too!

Meow meow.


**Bou wrote “crayon” instead of “kurenai” in his request so I turned “me” into “meow” to convey the same idea. Bou often writes “meow” in his diary so I think he’d be cool with it.


August 12th, 2005

Polar bear-kun

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Thanks for all the hard work today at AX in Shibuya! I felt like I had gotten a little use to being at AX since it was the third time (well, duh). As expected, playing in a big place is good, isn’t it? Doesn’t the range of drama you can do change whether you’re in a small livehouse or a big venue? In other words, I think that I get more excited at the scene that comes clearly into view. As for rehearsal, I really like the sense that the music that goes out into the audience is then returned to the stage, but it becomes acting for the camera. Well, today’s live, compared with the past two times at AX, I think this time we were able to do it without being afraid at all. Personally, I also felt like my practicing recently really made me improve (^_^)v That’s right, I went to see a live with my friends in Kanagawa before the three days of one-mans. It was a much bigger palce than AX so I wonder if it was because of that that AX didn’t feel so big today? That day, I watched a live while being aware of all the sounds in the big room and the movements of the drama that I watched from far away, and today I tried playing by using the feeling from that time. Tomorrow is Café. I will do my beeest!


August 12th, 2005

Energy 100x KTM o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! Mikusuke Academy is a free school so anyone can enter!! So, everyone should pass o(^-^)o Let’s make a good school.
But, recently, KTM cut his bangs too short (sob) I’m worried that everyone will hate it. Waaaah….(;_;)
Today was a live at AX. Thanks for all the hard work everyone!! I was nervous about performing in front of so many people, and I was depressed that I wasn’t able to deliver a satisfactory live, but on the train ride home, when I read your letters, it seemed stupid that I was worrying so much. Being told that I’m needed or that I was your support during exams or other tough times, because I was worrying, I was especially touched by these words (>_<) We have to work hard for the sake of our students!! Rather than worrying, we should move forward o(≧∀≦)o I was seriously encouraged! Thank you (>_<)
Tomorrow is the start of Café (>_<) I will put my spirit into it o(≧∀≦)o Poppo~!!


August 13th, 2005

Antic Café o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! Today was an all-day open event for Antic Café!! Thanks for all the hard work o(^-^)o
It was really fun.
Today I won the Derby for the first time. Since usually I’m always losing, I was happy~ o(≧∀≦)o Thanks to everyone! I haven’t felt happy in a while!! Next time I meet everyone will be a one-man day o(^-^)o Take care until then (≧∀≦)
Goodnight o(^-^)o


August 13th, 2005

The best of the best!

G’morning; Teruki death! Thanks for all the hard work yesterday at the Harajuku One-day Café! We hadn’t done an in-store in a while either, and I’m really happy to have a day like yesterday in between lives and the studio. How was it for you guys? It was our first attempt at that kind of in-store so while we were preparing for it, both the band and the staff were seriously worrying and thinking about what we should do to make you guys happy! Since it was the first time, I think that there were probably some things that could be improved, and the time was limited too, but I wonder if you guys were satisfied? I think it at least you all were happy, I definitely want to do it again! Today I’m going to studio from here on. I’ll work hard!


August 14th, 2005

Oyama no Monkichi

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today I spend my time reading letters and writing lyrics!! Let’s live life this way. But today my stomach and my butt hurt so that was the worst (>_<) Yesterday I ate the attached picture of habanero yakisoba for dinner, but my stomach hurt since the morning, and when I went to the bathroom, my butt stung (;_;) Tiramisuuu ↓
But it’s delicious so try it sometime!
I was in the shape of Oyama no Monkichi all day! But, you guys don’t know Oyama no Monkichi, do you? (lol)
He’s an old SANRIO character!!
So, goodnight o(≧∀≦)o


August 16th, 2005

Lucky boy!

G’morning; Teruki death. After the studio session on the 13th, I returned to my parent’s house. Since I decided to return to Sendai so suddenly, my parents had already gone back to Kumamoto, and my sister too went to Malaysia (of course…) with her boyfriend so in the end, I was alone (^_^;) I went on a walk on the evening of the 14th, but it rained many times during my walk, and that was tough. I was drenched, and I walked for over four hours, and it was like a little kid, but I really wanted to see it no matter what so I came back as though I didn’t notice it at all. That’s all!
Yesterday, I went to greet Super Record’s special manager Jimmy-san, but as it happened, there was a tour of a certain band coming to the Prefectural Center so we ended up going to a live together! It was really lucky! Actually, I just saw that band’s live that other time too, but no matter how many times I see them, it’s always cool. It’s just that they are overwhelmingly talented…. And then, after the show was over, even though it was forward of us, we went backstage to greet them! I thought everyone would be exhausted right after the live, but they told me, “Thank you! Good luck!” with smiling faces. I was really happy! But I was so nervous that my lips and throat went completely dry…(^_^;) After that, I went to drink with Jimmy-san and the so-called Su-Reco Family**.
And that’s what I did, and when I returned to Tokyo today, of course, I’m going to the studio!


**Su-Reco is a shortened version of Super Records, the store where Jimmy works so I’m guessing that “Su-Reco Family” is the term they use for their employees or something.


August 16th, 2005

I’m safe.

It’s Teruki. I arrived in Tokyo safely around three o’clock. Since I left Sendai this morning at nine by bus, my luck was good and it was safe. Since I’ve been at the studio since earlier, I’m late in reporting this; I’m very sorry m(_ _)m All the members are safe, but – with no relation to the earthquake – Miku-kun has a fever and has fallen into a deep sleep. I wonder if everyone is okay? I’m especially worried about the people in Sendai….


August 18th, 2005

Go away, stupid fever o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyap-py-py o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! I got a fever and fell asleep, but my fever has gone done considerably, and I feel better. Today I was able to do personal practice for the first time in a while!! I was alone and I wore a headband, had freedom, and got really into it o(^-^)o When I was thinking, “I’ll be so embarrassed if anyone sees me”, I noticed that there was a camera recording me (>_<)
But it’s no good if I’m embarrassed just from that o(^-^)o




August 18th, 2005

Before I realized it

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death. Since yesterday, Miku-kun hasn’t been feeling so well so today we each practiced on our own. As for the drums, since I practice best when I go to the studio, I went there alone today. When I’m on my own, I’m seriously bad at keeping myself concentrated, but since I was really into today, it was over before I knew it. I feel like I’ve come to like the drums even more than before recently. When I’m watching a talented person, I get inspired like this. For about a month already, I’ve been conscious of this, but I have the feeling that I’ve started to improve a little. It’s such a small improvement that it probably won’t be noticed at a live, but I really feel that I’ve calmed down during practice. I’ll work hard tomorrow too!


August 19th, 2005

Nyappy Radio o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today I went to the studio, went to see a live, and did a live radio broadcast o(^-^)o The live broadcast was difficult!! Thank you for the letters you sent into the show (>_<) I’m happy! Even though you voted for us, we didn’t win; I’m sorry m(_ _)m We’ll work harder next time!! We’ll become a gourmet café o(^-^)o
Well, I went to see a live, and I was really moved by it o(^-^)o They were really great. I want to take personal practice at the studio right away tomorrow o(^-^)o I’ll be working hard, yo ♪


August 19th, 2005

Air

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today I was at the studio from the afternoon on, and after that, I went to see a live in Shibuya with Miku-kun! It was as amazing as ever. The band was skilled at both singing and taiko so the two of us learned something and then went home. And then, we did a live radio broadcast, and for some reason, there was an increase in the amount of mail we got for the program this time! It was easily to fill the time this time around. Thank you, everyone! But distributing the time during a live broadcast is difficult…. Right when we decided to play or right when we decided to talk, we would have to cut (^_^;) I’ll be at the studio tomorrow too! Goodniiight! ☆


August 20th, 2005

KTM Office Hours o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! Today I woke up early so I’ll attend Mikusuke Academy (>_<)
I’m sleepy…. This is off-subject, but the train was packed yesterday, and my arm was irritated. This man’s suit kept rubbing into my arm with the sway of the train, and my arm turned completely red!! You can probably think of the kind of suit I mean, but it was a suit that felt like sandpaper. It was seriously a pain-inducing train ride! It was no big deal so I didn’t do anything about it (>_<) My legs were shaking (ToT)
Well, after that digression here’s a social studies lesson from KTM o(^-^)o
“Where is the mysterious prefecture where people became animals the older they get??”
Do you understand? It’s a problem from the TV that you’ve probably seen so I’m sorry, but…(lol)
Ah, yesterday, I picked up letters that were sent to the office o(^-^)o
Thank you! Until next time o(^-^)o


August 22nd, 2005

Ta**

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death. Thanks for all the hard work on the Unzu Live yesterday! I’m sorry the announcement was so sudden m(_ _)m Thank you to those of you who came! Because the songs were completely different from the type An Café does, I’m not used to it and it was really difficult. It’s probably my weak point. Because slow songs have rhythmical openings, despite what you would expect, those are difficult…. But on the other hand, relying on the flow doesn’t make it enjoyable, you can feel the enjoyment of the people who made it, and I think that’s really interesting. I thought, “I want to practice more and master my weaknesses. I think that as long as it’s An café, the next time we do a one-man or something, the result of this will come out. After the live, I drank until the first train! There were a lot of band people gathered so I’m glad that I was able to hear about a lot of experiences! Today, I was at the main studio all the way into the afternoon.


**Teruki wrote “ajigato” which I think is a pun or dialect on “arigatou” (thank you) so I wrote “Ta” which is slang for “Thank you” in some places


August 23rd, 2005

A strong blow to the pinkie toe

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today we were at the studio. Well, today as well. Today I really worked hard. We were there a little longer than usual, but it was the just the right amount of time to accomplish the general goals we set for ourselves. After the studio, we started talking about penguins for some reason. Penguins are awesome.
I came home and had okra for dinner. Recently, I’m really obsessed with okra. It’s delicious! Goodnight ☆


August 23rd, 2005

Epiphany o(≧∀≦)o

It’s unnyappy o(;∀;)o Miku. Today I experienced a personal ephiphany. I’ve never believed in ghosts before, but I’ve started to believe in them now. In the morning, I felt like I was tied down, and I called out “Heeey” in a low voice, and I got hit in the head. After being hit in the head for a while, I felt like I was going to die if I didn’t get released from the hold. As you might imagine, it was scary.

Oh, the answer to the problem is Tokushima-ken. Because when you take “toshi” from Tokushima, it’s “kuma” o(^-^)o **
So, goodnight (;_;)


**Okay, this is a joke that only works in Japanese. The actual translation of that sentence is, “Because as you get older, you’re a bear”. Toshi wo toru means both “take ‘toshi’” and “get older”. And “kuma” (the remaining letters) means bear.


August 23rd, 2005

Ah from Kanon

Today is Father’s Day. 0823. On a wonderful day like this, you start to want to do something special to celebrate somehow, right?
From here on, I’m going to the studio. I’m sleepy.


August 24th, 2005

Because what’s the best thing in the world…Bou

It’s raining in Tokyo. Once in a while, there are nights too when I want to get drenched by the rain. Today I was thinking about things that suddenly have meanings born into them. No matter how tough or sad things get or if you break down into tears or can’t see who you are anymore, you can’t run away. For everyone – me included – there are people who will support you. That is for sure no matter how gloomy things seem. Because at times like those, you’ll be weak, you might forget about those people, but…. I thought that when you find that, you will feel a different kind of happiness…. So, I want a lot of people to smile and be given happiness…. Somehow I felt whole-hearted thoughts (>_<)…. I am one of many who was born into this world. I thought that that by itself is cool…. Yeah, everyone – me included – is number one coolest person in the world o(^-^)o I read a letter today from a fan who is one of these cool people. It said, “When I saw Bou-chan at the live, I was filled with a happy feeling!” Tears started coming out like crazy, and I couldn’t stop them because I was so happy. An Café and I will live on being supported by everyone. I’m happy. Everyone, thank you so much. Because I felt it so strongly, I want to give it back to everyone ☆彡 Lastly….
Of course, the last words….
Meow meow – sparkle.
And bye bye for now (^_^)/~


August 24th, 2005

Escapism

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku!! Today we were at the studio. Today’s time in the studio was really fun. A lot of good songs were born o(^-^)o But waking up today was hard. I couldn’t get out of my futon, and I was fighting with Duck Mikusuke and Angel Mikusuke** (>_<)
Anyway, today Escapism went on sale!! Did everyone buy it for us?? I hope everyone liked it o(^-^)o
And now, a problem from KTM.
Let’s make an essay where each sentence starts with the letters in Escapism (E-su-ka-pi-zu-mu).
That’s a little too hard, so let’s just use “e”, “su”, and “ka” o(≧∀≦)o
KTM’s example
Perverted old man (Ero oyaji)
All (sukkari)
Hair like the fall sky (kami no ke aki no sora)
That’s it o(≧∀≦)o


**I think he’s talking about stuffed animals that he sleeps with, but I can’t be sure of that.

This summer, the greatest shock from Kanon

Hey, hey, did you hear?
There’s a foreign piano player who suffered from memory loss but no one knows why after being rescued from the sea. He lost memories from the ages of birth through childhood. He’s being called the Piano Man.
That’s really cool, right?
Actually, it’s all a complete lie. Gwah!
He can’t play the piano, and he was rescued from the sea, but he went there to commit suicide.
Whoa, what a shock.
Well, I just heard about that from my friend, and it hasn’t been properly confirmed on the news or anything.
Ah-Ha-


August 25th, 2005

I’m a pig~♪

G’morning; Teruki death! Yesterday, I went to a friend’s place to drink after the studio. We drank until morning, but now I’m going to the studio in this state (*_*) From here, I’m experiencing a real rock and roll lifestyle…. But recently, the studio has been really refreshing. When I think about it, that’s been the case every day. It seems like there’s no way you’ll get sick of making new songs with your bandmates. I’ve never felt like I wanted to skip out. I think that if I didn’t really love it, I probably would have quit a long time ago (^_^;) Oh, Escapism is on sale. We recorded it over two months ago at this point so it’s a little weird when I think that’s it’s only going on sale now. I remember how we all felt when we finished it, but I wonder if it’s made me gain any self-confidence between then and now. Of course, this is just my opinion. I really want you to try listening to our new song if you can! That’s all.
And…I’m sleepy. I’d rather not get there quickly. The shaking of the train is somehow comforting. Four more stops…mumble mumble, sorry everyone m(_ _)m


August 28th, 2005

Midnight Studio from Kanon

Good evening.
It’s Kanon. Today we were at the studio all through the night, so I returned home in the afternoon and finally slept, then played bass and listened to music.
I found an MD that I didn’t really know what it was, and when I tried listening to it, it was the demo of Wagamama Koushin Kyoku and Aurora.
Memories.
I want to a live soon.
About four more days, I guess.
But, somehow, it feels like I’ll be meeting kids the same age as me for the first time in a while like it’s the Obon festival or something.
It’s been too long, and I’ve always been weak at talking and awkward so I feel like I need to go out and socialize again a little bit.
I wonder if that made sense or not.

Erg, that’s hollow somehow (ーωー)
By the way, when I went to sleep today, I didn’t use my pillow, and I slept while holding on my knees in a ball, and it felt good.
I use this kind of technique during the times when I can’t get to sleep too, but today was the best.
I wonder if this is what people really mean when they say “fall asleep”, lol.

It’s been a while o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Right now I’m on a train heading toward the studio!! That’s right, it’s a midnight studio. Somehow I’m really looking forward to it o(^-^)o And everyone did really well on the Escapi essay!! Everyone gave kiteretsu answers. It was more than I expected. You guys are more kiteretsu than me (lol) There was a lot of thinking power!! But it’s like you guys gave me nothing but pervy answers o(^-^)o
Hilarious o(≧∀≦)o
So, yesterday, I discovered Habenero peperoncino cup noodles!!


More than being gross, it wasn’t spicy. And, my bangs won’t grow any longer…. I wonder if I should cut it again since it’s been a while o(≧∀≦)o I don’t need to be sexy o(^-^)o

I owe that painting one

G’morning; Teruki death. Yesterday I was the studio from midnight onward. Now, I’m going home. The morning sky is worthless…. As I thought, I don’t’ like Tokyo. Even at this early time, the train is crowded. By the way, the 10/3 Astro Hall live is already completed sold out even at this early date. Thank you very much! This already came out in a magazine issue, but moreover it’s been decided that our next one-man will be at Shibuya O-EAST on 12/3 so look forward to it. There will be a trilogy of one-mans for the trilogy of singles to please don’t fill up on them! Those are just the appetizers after all.
Ah, I want to get home soon and sleep. I’m going to the studio again in the evening. Oh, when I rode my bike yesterday, the wheel hit the bag I was carrying, and my camera fell out. It was full of the scenery from the time when we were moving around on tour and everything…. I’m so sad.

Shake like a firefly

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today I was at the studio again since the evening. Yesterday, the studio that we went to at midnight had a really hard drum chair. And it made my butt hurt a lot (-.-;) Today there was practice for the one-man on 9/1, but there was a song that we haven’t played in a while for that day. Moreover, there will also be things like songs that you can only be shown on that day so look forward to it ☆ Oh, I made a mistake on yesterday’s diary. The one-man at Astro Hall is on 10/2! I wrote 10/3 but that was a mistake! I’m sorry.
After that studio, I went to eat something with Bou-kun, but even though it was a well-known area for us, we tried going to a place we don’t usually go to. But aren’t I someone who actually goes to local shops? Well, it’s good that I went, but the employees made a memo, and didn’t take our order well….

New friends o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today I went to the studio on my own o(^-^)o It rained heavily on the way home, and I got sprayed with water from a passing car like people do in comic books (T_T) I was shocked, but the car just sped off immediately.
I also wore a headband today when I was in the studio, but since it wasn’t my normal full head of hair, it seemed somewhat out of place. Yesterday, I went to Harajuku and got my hair cut. It was a big change o(^-^)o But it seemed like I was running late on my way to the hair salon so I was in a rush. I did my best to walk there quickly o(^-^)o
By the way, I got new roommates yesterday. Goldfish-kun!!


But it’s only four of them. Someone threw them in the garbage so they were weak. They were really buried. These last four fish are swimming happily o(≧∀≦)o What should I name them?

The fun is coming out, yo

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death. Today as well, we practiced for the live the day after tomorrow! We worked through the flow, and we worked on it until it was good. After the studio, I went drinking with my friends again! I thought it would be better to go straight home and rest, but it’s important to spend time hanging out with band comrades too! I think this is especially true recently. I’m often told that I’m very close with my band, but because they don’t come out and drink with me, that’s my only complaint. (^_^;) Today the person I went drinking with is someone I’ve gone on tour with before and there were a lot of events that we did as rivals so we could drink without worrying about keeping up a good impression! It was really fun.
