Nyappy Kiteretsu o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy Miku. Right now, I’m in the middle of thinking about being the MC for the steadily approaching one-man tomorrow. It’s an outdoor stage so I’m nervous. But today is a little lucky!! Usually, I can’t get to sleep until early in the morning before a one-man because I’m so nervous, but today, I have the feeling that I’ll be able to sleep. Yesterday I was at the studio until late at night and today I was there from the morning, and after that, I was in a meeting at the office until nighttime so I’m really freaking sleepy!! When I close my eyes, I have the feeling I’ll count Nobita-kuns and fall asleep quickly. But, of course, I have the feeling that I can’t win against my nervousness, lol.
By the way, we have to do a nyappy, kiterestu live tomorrow!! It’s the last live of the Harajuku Trilogy.
I’ll be trying as hard as I can, so cheer for me a lot. Of course, I’m talking to those who can’t come to the live too!! Together with everyone, let’s make tomorrow night the best night ever.
The attached picture is my friend’s firework cigarette from the firework we did before.



It’s hard to understand it from the picture, but it was really shocking (lol).
Well, until tomorrow at the concert hall o(≧∀≦)o


October 2nd 2005

It’s secure.

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! From here on, it’s October! The passing of the seasons feels like it’s happening extremely quickly somehow. It was really busy what with our work doing instores and lives as well as the behind the scenes work of recording and taping…I’m so grateful m(_ _)m It’s been feeling like autumn lately. When the seasons change, the smell of the air is strong. I remember the days when I was young (T_T) That’s right, how does everyone interpret this face character “(T_T)”? I always thought that the top part was the eyebrow and the long part was the eye. But when I was watching the TV show “Cream Stew”, they said that the top part was the eye and the long part was tears. By the way, Miku-kun is in agreement with me, and Bou-kun agrees with “Cream Stew”. And, Kanon-kun…I haven’t asked him so I’ll ask him tomorrow.
I’ll work my ass off at the Astro Hall one-man in Harajuku tomorrow!


October 3rd, 2005

Thank you so much everyone o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy!! Miku. o(≧∀≦)o
Today was the last performance of the Harajuku triology. Seriously, thanks for working so hard.
Thanks so much to everyone who came and to those who couldn’t come and cheered us on at home.
Thanks to the members, the cafekkos, and the staff, I was able to really enjoy doing the live. Thank you so much!! I was really touched.
I’m touched every time we do a live recently. I think there’s so much value in each and every live that we do. And so, there’s only a few lives left in this year, but I decided that I want to do my best so I won’t have any regrets.
We did a trilogy for the CD and the lives, and I think we gained a lot from that.
Frm here on out as well, I really think that we’ll be able to be together with the cafekkos forever.
I seriously thank you for all the hard work today. Make sure to wipe all the sweat off and go to sleep so you don’t catch colds. Goodnight.

You are not alone

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Thanks for all the hard work at today’s Astro Hall one-man in Harajuku! It was fun, I was happy, and I felt confident! During today’s live, my growth felt like it became real. Even though we’ve already done it two times, at Ruiido and Fab, today didn’t it seem like there was extra power carried through from the other two lives and the drums gave off a good feeling? So I say. I was glad for everyone’s cheering too, and I was really happy. But I’m pretty regretful about the MC and impersonation stuff…. Thanks for all the hard work to everyone who came! Thanks. Also, we will throw the result of all our effort this year on the album into the 12/3 live as well! Everyone, please come and see us.


October 4th, 2005

This is a lame diary entry, but….

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today I went on a search at the music instrument store by myself. Because there were a lot of small items I had to keep myself from buying, while the employee checked the inventory for what I wanted one by one, I spent that time flipping through the magazines or looking at instruments.
The contents of the letters I’ve been getting from everyone recently have been desperately crying out about my true ability. Last month, I wrote a diary entry about playing with my true ability so is it because of that? Everyone was really seriously telling me about it so on the one hand, I’m happy, but…I’m happy, lol. “Even if nobody said that to me, I’m totally happy!” is how I feel. With the letters from everyone in one hand, I’ll toast to you by myself…. People who have tough jobs, people who are bullied at school, everyone, work hard! You guys have us four with you so be confident! Instead of that, when the four of us turn toward a big obstacle, everyone, please lend us your power. Please support us.


October 4th, 2005

Make-over o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today, I read letters in the morning and went shopping with our roadie Yurippe (boy), and went out to Beautician Punkman’s place to get my hair played with o(^-^)o Thank you for the letters. Let’s be together even five years from now, even ten years from now!! Yeah!! Kiterestu!! It’s an embarrassed laugh, (lol).
Well, Punkman made over mine and Yurippe’s hair. Yurippe looked seriously cool!! Everyone’s going to notice it o(^-^)o
And, the three of us went out for a meal on the way back and then I went home o(^-^)o And now goodnight.


October 4th, 2005

Filming from Kanon

T’anks so much for the hard work on October 2nd, everyone.
When we performed, it felt like it flew by. Well, that’s what they always say happens when you’re having fun.
Personally, I liked the splashy feeling that everyone had when we did the original song, Merrymaking at the end.
Fly! Jump! (´ーωー)ノシ
The next day, in other words, yesterday, I was totally and completely exhausted.
I didn’t have even have the ability to read Jump**.
So, this morning, I went to Saitama TV.
If you’re wondering what I was doing there,
On Saitama TV, Chiba TV, TV Kanagawa, Kyoto, etc. are filming a music program called “HOT WAVE” so I went to film that. Ba-dum-pa.
Besides there being a camera there, it was just like doing the radio show.
After the filming, we taped a message, did a magazine interview, recording a voiceover, and then today was over. Alright, let’s sleep. G’night.


**He’s talking about Shonen Jump, the popular manga compilation magazine.


October 5th, 2005

Kiteru o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today, we were focused on the filming of Hot Wave for TV Saitama!! Even though there hasn’t been much time to sleep lately, we had a five o’clock wake up time so I thought I was going to die, but when the camera was turned toward me, my sleepiness and nerves were totally blown away o(^-^)o I was so freaking nervous (>_<)
But I was really happy (>_<) To be able to appear on TV and all o(^-^)o It’s only going to be shown in one specific area though. I’m really sorry to those other areas that won’t get to see it m(_ _)m
After that, I went to see an aquaintance’s live with Teruki. I went to see a rock band called Six-san, and it was so amazingly cool and freaking awesome o(≧∀≦)o It was overflowing with manliness. I got to shake their hands; that was so incredibly nice of them o(^-^)o Kiteru!!
That being said, I have discovered a Kiteru Bride o(^-^)o



October 5th, 2005

Shibuya Alternate Dimension Mickey D’s

G’morning; Teruki death! Yesterday, we went to Saitama TV and filmed Hot Wave-san! First of all, I thought I wasn’t going to be very nervous. But the timing of when to talk was really hard to figure out. You have to figure out the timing in order to compliment the host’s pace, and you have to be careful not to talk over other people, and since I’m never careful about that kind of thing on the radio shows we do all the time, it was really difficult (^_^;) I want to get used to it soon.
In the evening, I went to see a live with Miku-kun at East. It was a band that I’m been trying hard to emulate since I was in high school, but I went to see the band for their vocalist over all. They were ridiculously cool! Both the songs and the band were cool, but overall, the vocalist was so cool that I couldn’t take my eyes off him. His voice is also mellow and cool, as well as the way he sings. I didn’t think a person that cool could exist when he’s still so young…. Oh, but, today was the first time I’d seen a live from the first floor of the audience. Because no one in the audience knew us, I guess. It was the first time I understood how it felt to see the live from everyone’s perspective of looking up at the stage! I’ll use this for reference for 12/3!


October 6th, 2005

Blue

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today there was a magazine interview in the afternoon, and after that, I moved to the office where we discussed 10/2 and went over the schedule for the year, etc, etc…. We tried to set up a tentative plan for next year! I’m really excited ♪ But in order to tie everything up, firstly, we have to make this year’s remaining big live, the one-man at Shibuya O-EAST on 12/3, a success! Yeah. Tomorrow, I’ll work hard at a steaming personal practice by myself!


October 7th, 2005

Lipovitan D o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku.
Today I went shopping with a friend, did karaoke, and enjoyed my first day off in a while! From tomorrow on, I’ll be in band mode again. I’ll work hard. But even though I’m saying this, doing band stuff is the most fun anyway.
Today I found a drink that tastes like Lipo D.


Since there are a whole 500 ml in it, I’m worried if my body will be okay. You’re not supposed to drink more than one vitamin drink a day, so I’m seriously worried. But I think it worked; as soon as I drank it, I felt completely energized (lol) Definitely try drinking some! It will revive your body and spirit o(≧∀≦)o


October 7th, 2005

Cradle Hill Germany

G’morning; Teruki death! I should be sleeping now, but…. I did individual practice by myself from the afternoon on. I wasn’t working on songs, but on the basics of beat. I worked hard on my own quietly doing bum-tsh-bum-bum-tsh. I think there are a lot of ways to do invidual practices, but I don’t think I’d ever done a quiet practice until today. It was useless…. After that, I stopped by the music instrument store and picked up the parts I had ordered and brought them home. I was so tired that I fell asleep just like that as soon as I laid down on my futon…. I even left the window open, and since I fell asleep without a shirt on, when I woke up, I immediately “Achoo”ed four times. I wonder if I gave myself a cold (-.-;) When I woke up, I was hungry so I made some pasta. The sauce was just the microwavable kind, and even though I only made those two things, for me, it was the feeling of, “Today, I am a genius chef!” It was probably the first time in a while that I used the stove. While eating dinner, I watched a program about animals living in the wild in Australia that they were doing on NHK. The stuff about how both animals and plants come to evolve naturally was really mysterious and interesting. I want a koala as a pet. It looks like it’d be warm if you slept together with it. Goodnight.


October 8th, 2005

What are you looking at, punk?

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today I went to see a live with Miku-kun! They were a good band. But I found a drummer who was so talented that it shocked me…I’m glad I went. I coincidentally ran into a friend of mine there too.
On another subject, recently, I’ve become a fan of Aoki Sayaka. The times when it seems like she has no confidence, how she’s always giving it her all (^_^;) I also like the atmosphere that suits a one-person theater company.
Goodnight


October 8th, 2005

Once in a while I want to be able to check it out and make an idiot of myself o(≧∀≦)o Bye, Merry Making

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Until a little while ago, I was rereading letters (^o^)
Since we aren’t coming to do a live in your region recently, it’s lonely isn’t it? I want to be able to do a one-man tour and come to meet everyone o(^-^)o Today, I went to see a live with KING Teruki!! I learned a lot. I started to want to do a free live too. Tomorrow, I’ll be at the studio so I’ll be able to check it out! Goodnight o(≧∀≦)o


October 9th, 2005

Sew, sew, and paint the intermission from Non

After the live was over yesterday, I went back to my hometown for no real reason. After returning for the first time in a while, I saw that the department store that I used to stop at on the way home from school all the time is closing down. Pout.
It seems like it had been in business for 29 years. That’s the last I’ll see of it.
Then I went to that place’s CD store (5th floor) because I was thought, “I wonder if they’ll have An Café there or not (sparkle)”.
It had closed down on August 31st. Gah.
Why couldn’t they have waited to close down until the department store did? Σ(ーωー;)
After, when I tried the bookstore, they had every volume an manga-freak (that’s me) could ever want.
Personally, I find that pleasant. (・ω・)=З Humph
That’s how I’ll be as long as I’m alive
Goodbye and thank you OO Store (;□;)

October 10th, 2005

It’s snow-snowing o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today I went to a Lareine live with Nacchi-kun and Masato (an ex-roadie)!! Emirun was cute o(^-^)o Everyone is so cool. Then, on the way back, we ate at Saizeria, and then I went home. I don’t really like Saizeria, and I quit going there, but when I went again, I was satisfied o(^-^)o I ate Saizeria’s royal road and stuff ♪ Good night!!


October 10th, 2005

I don’t want to see your face ever again!

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! I went with a friend to see NANA! I haven’t been to a movie theater since I saw “Odoru Daisousasen” in high school. It’s usually not that I don’t have an interest in movies, but I don’t have either the time or the energy to go really…I don’t have anyone to go with either. NANA was interesting! Even though this is coming from someone who doesn’t go to the movies at all, I really felt that way. I decided to go see more movies from here on!
After seeing the movie, we went directly to drink! It was ridiculously fun. Before I knew it, it was time for the last train (*_*)
The date has changed, and it’s the anniversary of my parent’s wedding on 10/10. ConDADulations** o(^-^)o


**Teruki said “Omedetosan”. “Omedetou” means “congrats” and “Tousan” means “dad” so I combined the two as best as I could to convey the same feeling.


October 11th, 2005

From Red Café

Good evening, it’s Red Café.
Today we filmed a segment for TV Saitama.
Thank you for all your hard work to both the members and the staff!



The picture is a scene from the middle of filming.
Huh? What is with Teruki and Bou-kun wearing suits, I wonder.
What sort of image are we putting forth???
Please look forward to broadcast!


October 11th, 2005

Both yesterday and today…of Bou

It’s far from my house…but I want to eat it…ramen!


International product.
It’s the best!!
I want to live a life filled with this kind of ramen!
I come to this restaurant too much, and the waiter said, “Thanks for all your visits! The service has changed a little. Did you notice?”
I’ve become a regular o(^-^)o


October 11th, 2005

Out of breath sad fish**

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today as well, we were in the care of TV Saitama. We filmed Hot Wave. But television is hard…I like I though. On the way home, when I stopped by the book store, Oricon was there so I bought it. This is a little late in coming, but thank you so much everyone! Our Merrymaking made it to number one. The reason we can try with all our might all the time is because of your support m(_ _)m I mean it. From here on as well, we’re counting on you!


**Okay, I swear that sometimes Teruki just throws darts at a kanji board to come up with these titles because I cannot for the life of me make sense of them sometimes


October 11th, 2005

Like a flower blooming on asphalt o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today we were at the studio ♪ On the way home, I ate ramen with Teruki, but I noticed that when I ate this afternoon, I had cup noodles (>_<) There’s nothing but ramen in my stomach. Today was cold, and I kind of felt a comraderie o(^-^)o I wonder if you’ll see it even through the TV.


October 14th, 2005

Lightning Tuesday o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. I don’t watch dramas very often, but recently I saw Second Chance and One Liter of Tears!! I see the guy who is in second chance a lot!! He would come to my previous job a lot. It was refreshing to see him on TV o(^-^)o One Liter of Tears really does make me cry. It’s touching! Right now, we’re heading toward Nagoya. I’ll work my ass off at the live in Nagoya ♪


October 14th, 2005

Nagoyarr from Kanon

So….
Today (the 13th) we gathered at the office in the afternoon, and we wrote the comments for the album extras and shot the pictures.
It seems like I somehow have a tendency to get very talkative on comment CDs.
After that was all over, we headed out toward Nagoya.
The strategy is to get there a day early and take our time resting.
Oh man, I’m so looking forward to the live. Because it’s been a while since our last one-man.
So, so, people of Nagoya, let’s go crazy.
Okay, g’night (heart).


October 15th, 2005

Nagoya IS…no, EDO…no, ELL**

It is I, Kanon.
Today was a live at ELL in Nagoya.
It was a huge amount of fun. Since there weren’t a lot of bands today, we were able to do a whole 11 songs.
Oh, right, we did an encore too, so that makes it 12.
Seriously, a huge thank you to everyone.
Next month, we’re coming back to Nagoya for the Aichi Shukutoku University’s culture festival. Come, okay?
It’s a freaking free outdoor event.
Everyone, cheer “Free!” like Kirimaruhei from Nintama Rantaro, lol.
In the afternoon, I’ll enjoy the meeting for the culture festival, and I’ll enjoy a live in the evening, and, well, I hope it’ll be a good day.
And so, I will work my ass off in Osaka tomorrow too (・ω・)ノシ Juuump, juuump ♪


**He said “aru” then “edo” then “elu”, he was making a little joke just go with it


October 15th, 2005

Snoopy o(≧∀≦)o Kiteru o(^-^)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Thanks for all the hard work at today’s live in Nagoya!! It was so much fun. Thank you so much! I was happy that we were left until the end. We’ll be coming to Nagoya again in November. So, look forward to that o(^-^)o Now, we’re heading to Osaka, and I ate yakiniku with everyone a little earlier! I ate too much!



So stuffed o(^-^)o Tomorrow there’s a live in Osaka!! I’m excited. I’ll do my best so cheer for me!!


October 15th, 2005

Pipe Organ

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today we did a three-man at ELL in Nagoya. Besides one-mans, we had never done a live that was so long before, and it was rare and therefore kind of hard. Like a one-man, we had to keep it lively and think about pace distribution, but with a one man, the atmosphere is different and the anxious feelings are also different…it was hard (^_^;) But I think we were able to make it a live that represented us! Thank you to everyone who came. It was fun! Please look forward to the Student Festival next month too.
Tomorrow I’ll kick ass in Osaka!


October 16th, 2005

Natural Continuity o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Thanks for all the the hard work at today’s live in Osaka!! Today was the last live we’re doing in Osaka so I was sad, but I’m glad we were able to do a fun live!! Thanks so much. Since we’re not able to go to lives in Osaka very often, next year I want to go to a lot. But since I’ll be able to go to see everyone at the album instore, please come o(^-^)o The PV will be playing so you can see us when we’re working. I hope your eyes are glued to the screen. After that, we’ll be participating in the culture festival of Nagoya’s Shukutoku University so please come and hang out o(^-^)o Since it’s free and all!! I’ll be trying my absolute hardest so it’s a little far but I want you guys to come and hang out with me!!
Well, have good dreams!! Osaka Tiramisu o(≧∀≦)o


October 16th, 2005

Osaka Huse…no, Muse from Kanon

Today we did a live at Muse Hall in Shinsaibashi.
It felt amazingly great. The last live this year in Osaka had a great feeling.
Next, we’re going to do an instore for the Shikisai Moment album.
Please buy the CD and come see us. Gwa.

Holy crap, with this, it’s the end of our three day-two night Nagoya/Osaka mini-tour, and tonight we had sushi. (´ーωー)ノシ T’anks for all the hard work.


October 16th, 2005

And after getting tired from dancing too…

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Thanks for all the hard work at today’s live at Muse! The audience at Osaka has been really into it recently, and it’s really easy to do lives, and I like it! I also felt like I was used to Muse. It was fun! Thank you.
By the way, the date changed, and today, the 16th, the tickets for the 12/3 East live go on sale. We’ll be giving you the best live of this whole year so everyone, please please come and see us if you can!


October 18th, 2005

Dangerously spicy curry o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. I worked hard with the band from afternoon until night today ♪
But my stomach condition is bad. I ate some habanero curry, but it’s been hurting for a while now (>_<) It was too spicy!!


Even though I’m fine with spice, this was insane. Today the rain is depressing. But I loved rain in the past o(^-^)o I looked forward to poking people with my umbrella o(^-^)o That was when I was in high school; now it just makes me feel tired….
On another note, if you can, please come to the event on the 23rd. I’m definitely worried about it for sure (>_<) Well, good night!!


October 18th, 2005

Take down from Kanon

Today we did a magazine photoshoot. It was really time-consuming work, but we had fun and got through it.
There’s no weekly magazine on Tuesday so it will almost be like a day off.


October 19th, 2005

Purin sometimes impresses me o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today, I did band stuff at the office since around the afternoon!! But this morning I had a super luxurious breakfast. I ate the Kobe purin and –ppai purin I got from a fan!! For someone like me who loves purin, it was the absolute best o(^-^)o I was more amused by the –ppai purin (lol) But the Kobe purin was really great (>_<) The instant I ate it, I was hit by the feeling of “so delicious” (ToT) Tasty!! A purin that delicious does exist in this world o(≧∀≦)o


Well, I went home and re-read letters. I was so moved by them, it was ridiculous (>_<) Thank you so much everyone. I want to meet up with everyone see. I’ll work my ass off from here on out too o(≧∀≦)o


October 20th, 2005

Store’s off-hours

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today there were various meetings at the office, but the first meeting was suddenly moved back one hour so to pass the time I went to the manga café near the office. I’m in the middle of planning a trip to my grandmother’s house at the end of the month so I was checking out ferries and shinkansen stuff. It’s probably been six years since I’ve been there…I’m excited to go. We’re focusing on the live at East, and there’s one more thing I want to look up, but I have no time so it’s not possible (*_*) Please send encouragement our way! Because I’m a little scared.


October 21st, 2005

You are a bicycle thief

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today we were at the studio. We concentrated on practicing the songs on the album for the Nagoya school festival on 11/5 and the 12/3 East live. After I came home, I wrote a song again for the first time in a while. Because there was an atmosphere that I liked, it came out easily, but that’s my personal satisfaction. I’ve felt over and over again this year that I’m not aiming for more band-like ideas. Well, no matter what, it’s my career, so I’ll make lots of songs and develop the knack for it.
I think that the music we produced this year and our lives have finally clearly shown who we are as a band. We’re portraying ourselves clearly, and recently I’ve been thinking about how your own personal stuff can still remain, but…mainly it’s in the performance. I think that your style of playing can’t change, but there are things like the tone. This year, I went to see lives at various big venues so I feel like I learned a lot concerning the way to make good sounds yourself. I think that around spring of next year, I’ll be able to utilize the plan that’s inside my head.
Goodnight.


October 22nd, 2005

Laundry stinks

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death!
I have a one-man with Unzu-san at Harajuku Astro Hall on 10/25, but yet again, it’s just stepping in as a support drummer for them. For the time being, it seems like I’ll be stepping down from the activities of Unzu-san this morning. The live I accepted the offer to do this time is the last. In that way, I entered into a personal practice since the afternoon today! It’s a little different from the An Café atmosphere, but if you can, please come. I think the details will come out tomorrow.
By the way, today the points on my personal practice card were completely full so I got a discount on the studio price and it was really cheap ♪ Happiness! After that, I stopped by the eye doctor and then went home. Well, I continued working on the song I’m making a little.
Goodnight. Oh, right, Smee-kun from Peter Pan is a kind pirate, isn’t he?


October 22nd, 2005

Try for the Rugby Club o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today was a personal practice day so I went to practice on my own!! Mainly, I practiced the songs on the album. Because I have to make sure not to mess up at the live!! Well, I went to Nakano station for a fitting for the costumes we’re wearing on the 23rd, but on the way home, I randomly ran into a friend from my part time job and we chatted at McD’s o(^-^)o He’s in the rugby club at a well-respected college. But he didn’t treat me like an idiot and he told me that he thought it was much cooler that I was chasing my dream. We consulted on a lot of various things so I felt energized. Okay, good night o(^-^)o


October 23rd, 2005

Neigh Neigh…Bou

Today on the dreamed of track, the horse I like, Crysanthemum Award (horse prize) winner Deep Impact, raced.
I say the horse I like, but this is a beloved horse that changed my life. When I see him run, I can see his courage and desire.
Today, during the race, he was running so behind that I thought, “Oh man, I lost today…that sucks”… (◎-◎;)…but!! At the last straight-away, he took off with a burst of speed!! And it was an overwhelming victory!! I was moved.
I cried again.
I knew he was cool.
My continuation, I’m not going to be “meow meow”, today I’m going to be “neigh neigh”.


October 24th, 2005

Shinkiba o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today, the KERA that I modeled in came out!! I felt like modeling is really involved. It’s kind of amazing how the people around you can see you sparkling. I want to do it again!! Today I found a delicious purin o(^-^)o It was tasty o(≧∀≦)o




October 25th, 2005

Please laugh

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today I was at the studio with Unzu-san. I was at the studio with them already yesterday, but after it was over, I went and stayed over at one of the member’s house. It’s about the fourth time I’ve been to his house? Even so, his mother and father remembered me and they were extremely kind as always to me. When it was raining, they drove me to the station, and even though was imposing on them in the middle of the night, they made something for me to eat. By the way everyone, they call me “Teru-chan” f^_^; and they’d probably be cool with it if I left magazines lying around. Well, this is an extention of that story, so I started kind of whining about the band. And the father really scolded me. He said, “If that’s how you feel about it, then quit right now!” At first I was surprised, but then I was kind of happy. Of course, I’ll work hard! But this forming, the two of us oversept and we were late. But in the middle of getting to the studio, we joined up with another member. So, three of us were late….
I’ll work hard at the one-man with Unzu tomorrow.

Memory of a dream I sometimes have from Kanon

Recently, I’ve been having good dreams.
Even though it was just a one hour nap, it’s fun to be able to see a realistic dream.
But, since it was so realistic, sometimes I think that what I see in the dream was something I’d done in real life.
Like thinking I’d written a note that I hadn’t written or thinking I’d eaten ice cream that I still had.
Even so, it’s fun.

Ironman of Ramen o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today I went out with the band to the office!! And I got some fan letters and read them. Everyone gave us such kind messages o(^-^)o I want to do an instore tour soon!! The attached picture is not a store bought meal but something I made.


First of all, don’t tell me crap like, “It’s not something you’d ever see in a store” (lol) Though that’s probably a fair statement o(≧∀≦)o Ahem. (^_^)v Tomorrow is Teruki-kun’s live! Please cheer for him, everyone. Cheer hard o(^-^)o

You’re going to laugh…

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Thanks for all the hard work today at the Unzu one-man! Even though I announced it so late, it seemed like there were An Café fans there too, and I was happy to see that. But today I was a vocalist for the first time (^_^;) I sang the theme song from the NANA movie, but when I started singing everyone burst out laughing…. I was trying my hardest, lol. Personally, I enjoyed it!
I’ve stepped down from acting as a supporting member of Unzu today, but these activities have really become a learning experience for my drumming philosophy. There was a little bit of it’s influence toward the recording of An Café’s album which come out in November. Relating to the drum lines. It became a great song that is important to me. If I had to say exactly why, it’s a small thing, but I think it’s more important because there wasn’t any disorganization in the song, like there used to be. I think I felt like I was able to capture a little bit of know-how at least. I have confidence that I’ll get better at drumming so please expect that of me!

Mermaid Observation Diary from Kanon

Good morning.
Yesterday I bought a mermaid who is supposed to get 600% bigger when you put her in water so I tried putting her in a bowl right away and filling it with water.


I’m looking forward to tonight.

Mermaid Observation Diary from Kanon

I’m back.
Today everyone went around to say hello to CD stores with Umezawa-san from the office.
As expected it’s an important task.. Today we attacked along the Chuo-line. Take that!
That’s right, the mermaid grew a little bit.


But it’s still kind of hard to see.
Hurry up and shock me already (heart)

Mermaid Observation Diary (little changes) from Kanon

Today as well, we went around to say hello to CD stores.
Today we did Chiba →Kashiwa→Matsudo→Shibuya→Harajuku.
I’m tired from all that moving around. I’m hungry too (;ーωー) Pant, gasp.
Well, it’s for our own sake, right? CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA ♪

That’s right, I have to tell you about mermaid-san. She grew a little bit more. See?


I wonder if her head won’t come out of the bowl soon?


October 28th, 2005

I’m grateful!

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! As it said in Kanon-kun’s diaries, yesterday and today we went around greeting Shinseido and Tower Records! Someone bought a Suica card for me for this occasion, but I’ve been in Tokyo for four years and this was the first time I’d used a Suica card. I feel like a city person for yet another reason! It reminds me of that time I read “Harajuku wo Genjuku”…(^_^;)
I’ve been looking for classical music since before the summer. Even though I know the songs, I don’t know who sings them or what their names are, and I’ve been going through various CD stores to listen and search for them. Today I got a mail from a band friend, and since I finally knew the song name and composer, after we greeted the CD stores, the members helped me look for it. It was there, but when I went home and tried listening to it, it was performed with strings like cellos or contrabasses…I really wanted a piano version though. I’ll go and look again.

Soaked in sighs o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today we went around greeting CD stores o(^-^)o No matter where we went, every store was really nice to us, and I was happy. I started to feel like I have to work hard.
The stores put up a poster for us so I was happy and I attached it (>_<)


Small happiness o(^-^)o Recently, I’ve been in a negative state of mind, and it’s exactly like Escapism, but maybe fall is just that kind of season. I want to take a nap on a deserted island for just one hour, you know?
Soaked in sighs (*^o^*)

Handsome!

Thanks for all the hard work; Teruki death! Today I was at the studio since the afternoon! Today I was only able to spend a short amount of time at the studio so I went through it without taking almost any breaks, but because of that, I’m really tired out (-.-;) I might have gotten a little cold. Since I wasn’t playing anything but Unzu’s songs, when I did An Café songs for the first time in a while, they were way too fast…But I can believe that I’ve been able to finetune the detailed parts more so than before! After the studio, I signed posters for display purposes in stores at the office! Tonight, we have an interview and some other stuff with Shoxx.
From tomorrow on, I’ll be imposing on my grandmother at her house!

Mermaid Observation Diary (little ch-ch-changes) from Ka

The mermaid’s head has come up out of the water.


She has come up out of the water. Congrats ヾ(^・ω・^)ノシ
It’s her graduation


October 30th, 2005

Off-side o(≧∀≦)o

It’s nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Miku. Today I was off for the first time in a while so I went and hung out with my friend. There’s so much stuff in Bic Camera (>_<) Today, my friend bought an iPod so I went with him to Bic Camera. One in fifty people would receive a winning message on their receipt and would get something for free, and I saw five people win (T_T) You could get something that costs twenty or thirty thousand yen** for free!! Wow o(^-^)o
My friend didn’t win anything (lol).

**About 2 or 3 hundred dollars


October 31st. 2005

Today is a flowery day…

G’morning; Teruki death! Right now I’m on a shinkansen heading back toward Tokyo. It was only a three days and two nights, but it’s been six years since I’ve been familiar with Sadogateake Island! My grandmother’s house is in the mountains and it’s the only house around there, but when I arrived, I was greeted by ten cats and one dog. The weather report said it was going to rain all three days, but aside from the night of the first day, it was sunny, and I went to the mountains and the ocean, and I took tons of pictures! That’s right, the first time I ever played drums was at my grandmother’s house. My cousin has a guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, everything, and my being allowed to play with them was the start of everything. This is the same cousin whose manga got me into Tezuka Osamu’s work. I’m not interested in manga at all, but Tezuka Osamu’s manga is about human psychology and the drawings are really easy to understand so I got sucked into it.
From tomorrow onward, I will do my best to change back to good feelings again! I’m really looking forward to giving the members their souvenirs. Especially Bou-kun…lol**.


**Could this souvenir be the infamous Bou-kun-looking statue that appears in their insane messages? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can easily find it on YouTube. ^^
