☆Kagoshima Live!☆
This is Yuuki(>д<)
Today was a Kagoshima live(o^-')b
It was my hometown so I was so nervous the whole time(*´Д｀)
But we got to really have fun and do it until the end, so I have an accomplished feelingヾ(￣ω￣*)
I'll put all my energy into tomorrow's live too and GO!
(o・v・)=Ｏ
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I love Kagoshima o( ≧∀≦)o
Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o this is Miku. Today was a live at Yuukikki's hometown, Kagoshima. It was a place where Yuukikki's hometown had the most energy☆ I was so deeply moved in the middle of the live. The part before the keyboard solo, where Yuukikki and the cafekkos all raised their hands o(^o^)o That was really pretty. And it was very warm. It made think, Yuukikki is so loved, and it just made me happy too. Thank you, Kagoshima o(≧∀≦)o
And now we are in Kumamoto. I'm feeling this really tight feeling in my heart and I'm lonely so I'm listening to winter songs and reading the letters for today.
Basically Miku-suke is very weak to a medium woman's winter songs. I listen to it when I'm sad or lonely. It's something that intoxicates me when my wounds open up(laugh)
Also, I love Kinki Kids winter songs too. Those are a series that makes me sad and lonely too. Tsuyoshi kun's soft singing voice really tugs on my chest o(≧∀≦)o
The picture is a Cloud-sama can juice that I got at the convenience store. It came with a figure, but I didn't get Cloud-sama(;_
This is the depressed Miku-suke.
Well then, I'll continue to get intoxicated o(≧∀≦)o

Serenade
Teruki death! Thank you for today's Kagoshima CAPARVO Hall!
Since today was Yuuki's hometown special, I woke up a little early in the morning and went into the live house with the staff members and I replaced all my drum heads! Because my drum heads (the leather part that I hit) got all worn out after the 10 lives up until Matsuyama... And since it's a Yuuki special, I thought that I should play some good drums☆ I was a little worried since I tuned it myself, but I did better than I thought and personally I thought it was making good sound! It felt good. I'm glad I challenged that~.
I was saying this at the live too, but to me, the live at my hometown- Sendai is a really special one. And, Yuuki is a very special friend who rescued AnCafe when we were in a troubled state, so I thought that Yuuki's hometown, Kagoshima is a very, very special place for AnCafe. Just like how we always have a surprise at Sendai, I want to make something up at Kagoshima too(laugh)
Today's live was really nice. I really felt once more, that Yuuki is really loved by everyone. Thank you! After the live, we met the Yuuki family backstage for the first time m(_ _)m Yuuki is really close with his younger sister, and it felt like they were just normal school friends or something(^_^
Everyone was really bright and close to eachother, it was such a Yuuki family.
Good night.

Sakura Jima
This is takuya☆
Today was a live at Yuuki san's hometown, Kagoshima!
It looked like Yuuki-san was so nervous the whole time before the live(laugh) But his energy really reached me, and I felt like I got to do an energetic performance too!
Today's live was hot too☆ Thank you-(*^ー^)ノ
Well well-

☆Kumamoto Live!☆
This is Yuuki(o・v・o)

Energy!
Teruki death! Thank you for today's Kumamoto Be-9!
At today's live hall, we could see everyone's faces clearly so it was nice! It was really fun, and I got to encounter a new flaw with me, so after finishing the first half of the tour, the 12 lives, we have a lot of harvesting to do!
During the recording time from September to October, I got to skill up my foundation, and being able to do the recordings with the drum-set that I borrowed from Tohru san really clearly connected to the tour, I think.
First of all, after hitting so many types of drum-sets and recording, I think that my ears got better. I'm not talking about my hearing though. I came to be able to really hear the sounds of the drums and it became easier for me to understand the good drawing out sound. And during all that time, the tour started and as I tested out my 2 snares I own, I met a new one snare in Osaka, and that made me mature even more. Last time I wrote on this blog "The sensation where you get intoxicated with the performance and sound", but with the past 4 lives, that joyous feeling really started to sprout out. To say it a little exaggerated, before, I was just plainly hitting the drums vigorously, and being able to feel the unity with everyone was the main thing for me at a live. I feel like my style will start changing. I wonder if it's already changed now.
A common thing that musicians say is that "even if it's the same musical instrument, depending on the hall the way the sound comes out is different", and with this tour I really got to realize this first hand. And I also feel that the scenery that comes into my field of vision during the performance really affects my beat. You know, when you turn your eyes to the audience and you can see everyone's smiling faces and how much fun they're having, you get this synergy and your heart gets encouraged too. And I strongly feel that, that comes out in my beat. I don't know if that shows to everyone, but because I'm the one drumming, I can really feel it. Everyone's energy and facial expressions really influence my beat. The lives are much more fun than they were before. Compared to "Yagai de Nyappy yanen", I have these totally different new values that is added into me. In the end, the part of me that "searches for a unity with everyone" hasn't changed since before, but the sound, instruments, and beat...I can't explain it well, but I feel that the foundation called Music seems to be getting bigger!
And of course with today's live too, everyone's heat really influenced me. Leave it up to the Fire Country - Kumamoto. Leave it up to the place my dad was born and grew up. Oh, my permanent residence is actually Kumamoto~(^-^)
Thank you to all the cafekkos who came today! Let's do a live together again☆
Good night.

Korilakkumamoto o( ≧∀≦)o
Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku. Kumamoto's Neon sympathizes with the winter coldness and tightens my chest o(^o^)o Winter really makes you lonely/sad..
And, today was a Kumamoto live. We haven't been to Kumamoto in a while. It's a place where the city and scenery are strongly remaining in my head☆ The castles and stuff were so pretty, and just looking at them healed me. Time goes by so fast. Suddenly we had lived up until here already. I probably think time went by so fast until now because every day was so much fun o(≧∀≦)o
It's all thanks to the Cafekko-chans.
And today, backstage I was listening to a Winter Song Series. I think I probably love minor key songs Ψ(｀∀´)Ψ
But right before the performance, so that I could switch back into place, I listened to Kagerou-san. It gets me energized o(≧∀≦)o
The live itself was really good〓It looked like a lot of new people were there, but I'd be happy if the good-ness of AnCafe reached them. These days I'm singing while thinking how much I could reach the fans with each song. I'd be happy if what I wanted to to express to everyone reached them o(≧∀≦)o That is one thing I'm working on right now o(≧∀≦)o
Today was fun.
Thank you Kumamoto o(≧∀≦)o

Raw Horse meat is so good

This is takuya☆
Thank you for Kumamoto yesterday-. It was so much fun! It became a good live to close up the first half of the tour! We will work hard the second half too☆
Right now we're back in Tokyo and we're gonna have a little meeting at the company office soon. Once that's over, we're gonna go to Matsuya, which we hadn't gone to in a while(・ω・)/*laugh*
Well well-

I love Jen.
Teruki death.
Today we flew in the sky and came back from Kumamoto→Tokyo. After that, at the company office, we did fitting for clothes and had a meeting for the second half of the tour, and such.
After I came home, I put away my luggage, watched the doramas I had video taped and watched Mr. Children's DVD again and such.
Up until now, for all those magazines and questionnaires where they ask "Who is a drummer you like?" I usually answered "I have a lot". I have so many if I started listing them, there would be no end. It's hard to even just squeeze them down to a few people.
Because, there are so many different types of drummers, I can't tell what is good or bad even in a wide range. I myself didn't know what values I had, or what play style I had 2 years ago. I think the one thing that guided me to my own style, is Antic Cafe. Really. However, I do think that the foundation of it all, was all the drawers that opened when I started litsening to music on my own, and the scences that I picked up little by little.
So, right now, I really love Jen-san from Mr. Childrens' drumming. First of all, I like the sound that it makes, and then I really really love the face that he makes, while performing. If I am asked the same question next time on a magazine or something, I will answer "Jen-san from Mr. Children!"☆
Good night.

Shikisai Aon
Teruki death.
Today we had a photoshoot. I actualy did a hair style that wasn't straight. Thanks to the Yuuko-magic, I became 3 years younger again. The power of a make-up artist is tremendous. These days, thanks to Yuuko-san, I am starting to see a little difference between the pictures and the real me(laugh) The pictures are 2 times a better man.
After I got home, as I listened to the pre-production music MD I thought about my drum. We're gonna have recording starting tomorrow, but I don't have most of it made up yet m(_ _)m I don't have time so I'm worried. And I also need to think about the live on the 8th~(*_*)
Good night-.

Warm Futon o( ≧∀≦)o
Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku. I'm back to the Tokyo life-style I hadn't had in a while, but every day is work so I can't get rid of the tired-ness. But it's a thing of happiness so I'm happy o(^o^)o
I started to realize that around me there are a lot of people who are doing PSP's Monster Hunter. And they are way more ahead of me too. Even though I try so hard to catch up to them, I just can't seem to catch up. The time just keeps passing. I'm weak so I can't advance(;_
And since I do it in my futon, the comfortable feeling and the fun of this makes it harder for me to get out.
So in this very wishy-washy condition, I accidentally switched the tooth-paste with the face wash(;_
And on top of that, the face-wash was AHA. The inside of my mouth is going to start peeling o(≧∀≦)o
Well then, I'll work hard today too o(≧∀≦)o

What we didn't expect...
Teruki death.
Today, we had recording. We recorded 2 songs, and we started on takuya and Yuuki's songs☆The last time we had a recording was 2 weeks ago, when we started going into pre-production, so it took a long time to check the organization, and arrange small details. Takuya's song is so fast, I get so tired(^_^
I think I personally like the rhythm of Yuuki's song the best.
And today, there was the incident that we all didn't expect. During the recording, I went to the bathroom. Then, when I opened the door...
Miku-kun was doing u o(≧ん≦)o ko. (he wrote "unko" with the nappy face in the middle. Unko = poop)
Lock the door! More like, at least be embarassed! All he says is "O-uch"(Miku said it in english) with a cool face(-"-
...Good night

It's a Star fish from Kanon
I found out that you can major in animation in Tokyo University of Arts and Music(A very hard university to get into)
I guess it sounds really hard because I graduated from high school → left college (ーωー)

Neo photo shoot o( ≧∀≦)o
Nyappy o( ≧∀≦)o It's Miku☆ミ
Today, we had a photoshoot for the back cover of Neo. The setting was Miku-suke's room♪It didn't look like Miku-suke's room though. Nyappy-chan 〓got a big haircut, so she doesn't look like the Nyappy-chan everyone knows o(^o^)o The color of her fur is so different she looks like a different dog☆I really want everyone to see it♪
After the photoshoot ended, I went shopping with my friend. I finally bought a coat☆I bought a brown coat, because I didn't really have that color. It's really cute o(≧∀≦)o I also went to the store that Ryon-Ryon- Sensei told me about, that sold western style clothingΨ(｀∀´)Ψ
However, when I got home, it turned out that they were for ladies, and it's embarrassing, so I wont be wearing any of them(;_
I'll become gay like Yuukkiki(laugh)
The picture, is a figure of Cloud-sama from Potion. I got it from a fan. When I buy it, I never get Cloud(;_

Piko piko pon
Teruki death.
Today, I was checking the equipment and such that I am going to get ordered.
Including the ones that I got in Osaka, I am carrying 3 snare drums on this tour. I still have another one though. I got it when I was still in college in Sendai. When I went to
Okinawa, one of the metal parts got rusty, so I disassembled it and kept it. When I pulled it out the other day, I saw that all the other parts were perfectly fine, so I think I will use it again. My drumming equipment has upgraded a lot☆ I am adding changes to the options on my Pearl drum set. It is going to get changed a lot after the live in Sendai on the 8th. The number of snares changed, so the number of variations changed too. I want at least 2 more. One of them is old, and I saw it in the second hand music store that I went to in Osaka a couple of days ago. So when I stop by Osaka on the Tour final, I am thinking of going to the same store and getting it(^-^)
In the evening, I went to the recording studio. While takuya was doing his best, playing his guitar, I was just polishing my cymbals.
Don't catch a cold everyone. Good night.
