I come bearing scans! It's been a while since I got off my lazy ***, but I finished finals today, so I might as well share. ^^

Shoxx Vol. 181, containing AnCafe scans for Cherry Saku Yuuki, and also the scans for Over the Edge'07-- you know, the performance AnCafe was in for new years with various other bands that they talked about in the interview with Miku and the vocalists for Mucc and Plastic Tree. That also means a few shots of AnCafe in their maid outfits, the ones they mentioned in their blog about, though I can't spot anyone other than Miku and Teruki dressed up...@_@ Credits to sanaka at jrock_scans.

Also, new blog translations from cafexblog. I realize Suki-san told everyone to go there, but not everyone knows where cafexblog is, and since I post these on other sites as well, I might as well make it convienent for those who don't know. I can't believe I missed these; those finals had me really busy! @___@ Anyway, here they are.

I can't do it anymore BU~

Teruki death.
Today we went all the way to Yamanashi to do the PV shooting for "CHERRY Saku~"! As usual it took a long time and we started from the early morning and went until late at night, but we still didn't finish the whole shooting, do we have to finish it some time later on(^_^ We always have the shooting staff stay with us until late and I feel very bad m(_ _)m

And for this time's PV production, we had a lot of people cooperating with us☆ Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi (this is the group "Arashi"'s song, but it basically means thankful and impressed feelings are coming down like heavy rain). But the other side to that, is that you get pretty nervous...(-.- But just wait for the finished product to see more details♪

Well for now, I'm so tired, and tired this Nagata can't do anything anymore(*_*) Good night.

The picture is Mt. Fuji!

GeGeGeGeGe o(≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o（≧∀≦）o This is the Miku-suke who's getting tired around the joints and such these days. Maybe I'm that old now(>_<) Even when I do bowling, for some strange reason my arms start to hurt two days later. Yesterday we had PV shooting. The day before we stayed up all night, so I had moments where I was sleepy, but I got to wake up with something. The slightest things can give you so much power. But the PV didn't go as smoothly, and a couple scenes didn't go right. We decided to take the rest some time later! But because it's this kind of time, I need to put life back into me and work hard. That's why, I have studio today too, but I'm going to go with my bicycle. When I ride the bicycle while listening to my favorite songs, I get there so quickly.

But right now, my household living supplies are all going out at once(>_<) Garbage bags, shampoo, toilet paper, fluorescent lamps. The shampoo and toilet paper especially got me panicking..When I went to go use it, "it's not there", so the shampoo I think I could somehow replace it with body shampoo, but what do I do for toilet paper....I have a parody song for that kind of atmosphere combined with GeGeGe no Kitarou so I'll introduce it to you.

GeGeGe's Toilet Paper

Ge・Ge・GeGeGe no Ge- A moan comes out of the toilet. There's no paper, there's no paper. You can wipe it with your underwear. But there's no underwear too o(≧∀≦)o

But I'm not doing such a thing(>_<) Well then, I'm gonna go to studio now!!

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Studio from Kanon

Today is studio. For no reason I arrived early, and the band before us was still in there, and it would be kind of awkward, so I'm outside right now sitting on a bench and relaxing
*sigh*-
The other day when I called up Mare (Nightmare)'s Ruka-san
he said "since when did you change cellphones" and he got mad at me (laugh
I thought I sent it to him though Haha
Towards the end of last year, I bought a new cellphone and I was planning on transferring the address book later, but
I still haven't finished it, so more than half of the people in the address is now in an erased state
I'm going to lose more and more friends and acquaintances now
To begin with I only had about 20~30 people (including the Soft Bank Opening Center and such) in my address book(-ω- Oh no
To those people I haven't contacted yet, I don't have any bad intentions m(_ _)m
Well then, I'll work hard for tomorrow

Sanskrit Shower

Teruki death.
Today we had a full rehearsal in the evening for tomorrow's live. But I don't know if it was the tiredness from yesterday, but everyone's faces were dark(^_^ So we decided to finish it early today and just go home.

At the PV shooting yesterday, we had Fools Mate-san doing a very close up interview on us. They were taking all kinds of pictures of us shooting the PV so please be waiting for that☆ And, I got to talk a lot with the camera-man san that was there yesterday. It all started with him asking me "Teruki san, you had a live on 12/24 right? I actually went to Tokyo Dome that day~" and we lit a fire on LUNA SEA talk. And for some reason that person knew all kinds of things about me. Things I wrote on the blog and things I stated in previous interviews and such. I was really happy talking to him.

And, in the end we got to talking about work and fanletters and such, but the camera man-san and editors and stuff were all saying "It's so nice~. Even just once, I'd like to get a fan letter-". That's so true. It's because of now that I can get a lot of fan letters from everyone like this, but even just having one person supporting you to chase you dreams and goals is something to be happy about and is heart strengthening. This is probably something I would never have been able to experience if I was doing a different job, and you all are a very thankful and reliable existence.

I will work hard for all that you guys have been supporting me for. Because I think that, being able to work hard and do what I love, while having everyone support me, is the greatest happiness I can ever get.

Good night.

Ganotos Spike o(≧∀≦)o

Midnight Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku. Today I went to studio for rehearsal for tomorrow!!

And then I came back, and I decided to just relax and spend the day at home. I'm always going out the whole time, so I thought I'd like to calm down. So I did a little Monhan. I really recommend the one-handed sword's Sleep attribute. When you make them go to sleep you can give them the big barrel G. This is how Miku-suke cleared the highest ranking Quest by myself.

And then I was relaxing and reading the letters. It looks like there are people who can't go to lives or don't have a cellphone. When I was in middle school and high school, I didn't have much of a surplus in money either, so I couldn't go to some lives of artists I liked too. And I would squeeze out my little amount of money to buy CDs and such. When they let out 4 types and stuff I was all "Awawawawa-(>_<)" So I really understand how you guys feel o(≧∀≦)o I used to even record songs that played on radios and stuff onto cassette tapes! So you guys don't need to worry about those things-o(≧∀≦)o

You know, I'm really nervous for tomorrow's live-(>_<) I say this every single time. I'm really happy to meet the cafekkos, but I'm shy, so(>_<) Tekesuta. (tasukete=help me)

Now I'm gonna watch the DVD I got from our manager on my birthday-. It's a overseas solo artist, but he told me I can learn from it so I should watch it, that's why I'm gonna watch it. I've been interested in this from before so I'm really excited.

Well then, I'll do my best at tomorrow's live o(≧∀≦)o

Doing a Highly Admired Campaign for the Clumsy

This is takuya☆

I've fallen down 3 times already in the past 2 days. The first time, was yesterday at the PV shooting scene when I was walking on the snow outside and I tripped, then after that I was performing during the shooting and I completely fell violently (I have a gash on my newly bought guitar...), and then today when I was carrying in my equipment I missed a step on the stairs and fell. I'm very unlucky these days.
So, today, everyone please give me some of your guys's good luck power(ノ∀｀)ノシ*laugh*

Well well-

☆CC Lemon Hall 2nd Time!☆

This is Yuuki('-^*)/
Today was the second time at CC Lemon Hall for this tour!(^-^)/
We did on the 5th too so I thought I wouldn't be nervous, but I was nervous afterall(*u_u)
But it was fun and amusing so that was nice(*^ー^)ノ
Now it's just Osaka left! We'll work hard!

I need to work harder

This is takuya☆

Today we had a live at Shibuya CC Lemon Hall! We did a live there in the end of the year and also on the 5th so I thought I'd be at ease emotion-wise, but...the instant the live started I got all stiff. The reason why...there were cameras there(+_+) So because of those things, I was so nervous I couldn't do a very satisfying my-kind of play. Well, I just admitted to myself that this is my value right now, so I just need to keep looking up and work harder!!
But as for the live, I think we got to do a very nice AnCafe-like fun live, so I got spend a very happy time☆

And tomorrow from the morning, we have the PV shooting for the parts we left off last time, so I'm going to spend the night at the company office without going home. But I can't seem to go to sleep at all, so I have been reading the letters we got today. When I read the letters I really get lots of energy(・ω・)/ Thanks-!

Well well-

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Yes, I am a Chicken.

Teruki death. Thank you for today's Shibuya CC Lemon Hall m(_ _)m

Today we had a video recording too, so...I was straining myself while playing the drums. I was stiff~(T_T) How weak my heart is...I hadn't gotten that nervous in a while.

But, even though I was stiff in the first half, I looked at the audience and there were tons of smiles. These are the times where Cafekkos are reliable. Even though I was stiff, I got to somewhat carefully play, so in a way I got to feel the growth I made this tour☆ Today's live was good(^-^) I wonder when's the next time we'll be able to do a live at Tokyo~.

We still have the final Osaka NHK left, but right now I really feel like I want to just keep doing lives. Because I feel like I can grow the most with lives. I want to keep a balanced rotation of studio practice, recordings, and lives, but once the tour ends we have a blank period again...

Well for now, good night☆ Thanks to everyone who came today m(_ _)m

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Light o(≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o（≧∀≦）o it's Miku. Right now I just came back home! Good work. Today we had a live at Tokyo, but it was different from the usual and I was nervous and did the live! We had camera shooting today, but for me I felt like there was a different kind of atmosphere flowing before the live. I'm sure everyone has their own different ways of getting ready before the live. They say people who relax and get excited before the live succeed during the lives. But, I am clumsy so I can't do things like that. So today, before the live I was doing my best to focus and concentrate. Ryon-Ryon sensei told me that image training is very important too, so. Also there might be some influence from that DVD I watched that I got from our manager. The manager told me that fast-forwarding is prohibited for this DVD. And when I watched it, I understood the reason why. The live is really, really cool too, but the document part where they're talking is even more cool. They put an emphasis on the reason why they're singing, and what they need to express and stuff. When I was watching that, I compared that to the letters I got from everyone, and thought that I'm singing to give energy to everyone. To me, lives are something I have a number of, but to everyone else, every single one is a precious live. I thought that I want to definently make them succeed and I want to leave something in everyone. Also, there were some words that might be of use to everyone. I think it can be seen from different viewpoints, so everyone please interpret it in your own way.

"When you are nervous, think of the audience as lights. There are no pain or suffering in lights. Lights give you the power to live" is what it said. When I thought about that, I thought that the Cafekkos are all my friends. That's why I thought that I was getting so much strength from everyone. And that gave me energy. Thank you everyone.

I think this became a beautiful day for the Cafekkos and to AnCafe too. I want to engrave this day as the best, and keep engraving all kinds of great things.

I'm gonna read the letters now. Tomorrow is PV shooting too, but it's early in the morning so I feel like if I go to sleep I'll be late(>_<)
Ok then by nyappy o(≧∀≦)o

Theft -Coffee Shop-

Teruki death.
Today we went to Yamanashi again to do the additional PV shooting. Today we used a different hall from last time, but the view from the yard at this time's hall was great! Right in front of you is a lagoon, and behind that you can slightly see Mt. Fuji. And at night the stars are beautiful, I fell in love with Yamanashi☆ Last time I just had this impression that it was really cold and dark, and...somewhat scary(^_^

And the content of the shooting is really satisfying too. And during the performing scene, the staff-san all strained their bodies and worked hard for us too! But, out of everyone, I think the person who strained their body the most was of course, Yuuki-san. Please be waiting for it(^_^

Tomorrow, I am going to Osaka by myself, a little earlier than everyone else. When I called the music store, they said that they'll replace 2 of the snares I wanted there! Now I'm fully relieved♪

Good night~.

One Breath from Kanon

Hello hello
Today is a day off, I'm going to relax.
I'm a little late, but the 5th and the 9th, both C.C Lemon Hall was great
We played at C.C Lemon continuously starting from the end of the year, so I feel like I grew attached to it
When it's a hall, you can see everyone's single faces easily so it's very emotionally strong
Oh yes, yes, on the live on 9th
A big bouquet had arrived from that band that I fell in love with, Plastic Tree-san(>_<)☆ (he actually wrote "fall in love")
So many thanks and impressions
Yesterday we had PV shooting again-
More than the pain of waking up early, I found that being in the train the same time as the society's working people was more painful(-ω-
This time will become a pretty packed kind of PV-
*nod*
I'm excited for the finished product

Kiteruki Kousen (this is Teruki's parody of Tekesuta Kousen)

Teruki death.
Today I woke up around noon and slowly got ready for my trip, and around evening I arrived at Osaka. Then, as planned I went to the music shop, but then there was this incident there.

Out of the 2 that I put on hold, one of them only had that certain one left in stock, but the other one had a lot of the same kind of models in stock, but the one I put on hold was one that I picked with Tohru san on the net. Even if it's the same model, the manufactured year and scratch conditions are different, and there are times where the small parts are changed with the recent models. So according to that, the price comes to change a little.

So, I tested out the 2 that I had put on hold and thought "Ok, no problem!", but then, my eyes stopped at this shelf right next to me. Out of all the same model types of snares that were lined up there, there was one that was priced so high and I thought "what is this? All I know for sure is that this wasn't on the net!". And when I looked at it more closely, it's supposed to be the same model, but the technical parts were a little different, and when I asked the employee there, he said "oh, so you noticed~. This is actually a pretty rare model, and we wanted only the customers who came into this shop to see it, so it's not uploaded on our homepage. I think out of all Japan this is the only one that exists.". I, Nagata, after thinking long and hard about it, ran to the nearest ATM~(*_*)

I'm not really a collector or anything, so when he said it's a "rare model" I was as mesmerized. But, I thought that if it's the slightest difference and it sounds better, I would regret it if I didn't buy it. And I'm really prejudice, so(^_^ I would hate it if I thought later on "even if it was more expensive, I should've bought that one~".

So today, I got 2 more treasures☆ I don't know if I'll be able to use it starting tomorrow already, so I'll test it out first. So, I'm really sad that the tour is going to end tomorrow(*_*) Using it at the live is kind of...I mean, I want to make it ring in the live hall. I know it's late, but I want to do more and more lives now.

I think once tomorrow is finished, I will be able to talk about things I've been thinking lately, and considering lately. But for now, I'll just work hard for tomorrow!

Good night.

No-tenpi-kan o（≧∀≦）o

Nyappy o（≧∀≦）o it's Miku. Right now I'm watching Arare-chan on TV! It's a Dragon Ball and Arare-chan fusion♪ Oh yeah, yesterday was a Kinpachi sensei special. As for the content I think the Haseken one hit my heart more. That was the first time I cried during Kinpachi sensei. Everyone should watch that Haseken feature episode. Everyone will be deeply moved. I want to be in Kinpachi sensei's class. Supposedly the recordings have a lot of ad-lib in it, but the Kinpachi sensei that can say such good things as ad-lib is amazing. That's why, I think I can benefit from it so I want to take his class. These days, I'm really addicted to FIELD OF VIEW san's song, Tostsuzen. The lyrics are good too, but the melody is crazy. It hits my heart. It reminds me of all kinds of things in the past. Because, it's a song that came out when I wasn't an old man like now. This is the best background music for when I'm in the naive Mikusuke mode. Also, as the complete opposite of that, when I'm in my Energetic Mikusuke mode, my background music is Dragon Ball Z's we got power. That really makes you excited♪ I listen to it before lives and stuff too. Also when I ride my bike and stuff too. It really gets your adrenaline rushing. And I got a friend to burn the english version of this onto a CD, but it's amazing. It's already powerful in Japanese, but in English it's even more powerful!!

Ok, I'm gonna do Image Training now to get ready for tomorrow's live. I want to definintely make the tour Final a fun live☆:burning:

Osaka Final o( ≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku. Today was Osaka final!! Inside of Miku-suke, since today was the final, I was gonna go in a sharp Miku-suke mode, but then I tripped a lot o(・∀・)o I can't act cool(;_ But then maybe that's what's very me. I am a very unlucky man who wants to act cool, but can't look cool at all o(・∀・)o But still, I moved around a lot today. Since it's the final and all, I wanted to go all out o(≧∀≦)o And because of that I got cherry blossoms in my mouth(;_
I miraculously pulled out the Great Luck card, yet this is what happened, what's going on o(≧∀≦)o But that's ok. Because it was fun. I said this in the end too, but out of all the band activities, I love lives the most. You can sing the songs that you love, and you can meet the Cafekkos that you love so much too. There's nothing more Suteking (greater) than thisΨ(｀∀´)Ψ That's why, with the tour being over, I have this accomplished feeling, but I'm also very lonely. But I'm sure this AnCafe life will still continue on. I'll be able to see everyone again soon o(≧∀≦)o Yes yes Ψ(｀∀´)Ψ Thank you all for the beautiful final. Being able to do a live at an Osaka hall is impressive. I want to do it again☆ミ I want to get heated up again. I'm gonna go to sleep now, thinking back on everyone's nyappy smiling faces o(≧∀≦)o Good night.

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Thank you.

Teruki death. Thank you for today's NGAF final at the NHK Osaka Hall☆

For today's live, I ended up using the 2 snares that I bought yesterday♪ Including the snare that I had been using as the main up until now, I used 3 snares in total, and luxuriously changed them around matching them to the songs. Each one has it's individual character, but all 3 of them feel so good-! It was really so much fun! The image of the Cafekkos that I could see from the stage was the best, and today was really a good feeling, really fun live! Thank you everyone m(_ _)m

For now, I'm just really relieved that we could safely finish all 24 without any injuries. I want to once more thank all the nation-wide Cafekkos who participated in this tour. Thank you everyone.

And today, we will announce the album sale, and also the next tour. Concerning my thoughts on the album, and my thoughts on the next tour and such, I have to-ns of stuff I want to write on this blog in the future. I also want to write more details concerning the NGAF. I'm sure after tomorrow, whenever I have time, I'll write some lo~ng entries again(^_^

But for now...Thank you everyone. Good night.

Alcohol is from when you turn 20

This is takuya☆
Yesterday was the tour final in NHK Osaka! There were all kinds of troubles and such too, but I think it turned into a really appropriate good live to finish up this long tour.
And, there was an announcement concerning the sale of the NEW album and the next tour! Can you believe, we will even have a live at my hometown, Wakayama. Please come watch us☆
In the album, the songs that Yuuki and I composed is also in there too, so please be waiting for that!

Oh, and at my hometown, today is their Adult Ceremony (this is a ceremony for boys and girls turning 20). And I am right now in the bullet train going back to Tokyo because I have work tomorrow(・∀・) Well, next time I come back to my hometown I'd like to go out drinking with my good friends. Of course, after I turn 20(・ω・)/ *laugh*

I'm a little late, but(ノ_・。)
Osaka NHK safely ended, and the whole tour ended happily('-^*)/
I'm excited for the next tour now(b^-゜)

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

I saw a crazy dream.

Teruki death.
Today we left Osaka a little before noon to Tokyo. In the bullet train, we were loud for the first 20 minutes or so as usual, but then everyone quickly fell asleep(^_^ Everyone must be really tired. Yesterday, I also read the letters from everyone and then slept the whole time after that.

After coming home, I lazily rolled around at first and then without noticing it, I had been sleeping. But at night I invited Tohru san and Aoi san and the 3 of us went to eat together. For one thing, Tohru san really loved to talk. And his voice is just very loud. And on top of that when he talks dirty jokes and such his voice gets even louder. Even though there's a lot of other people sitting in the tables around us(^_^ But, I love those parts too☆ And Aoi san seemed to be doing good too, so that was good.

After that, I came back in the last train, and watched the special program they were doing of LUNA SEA san in NHK.

Good night.

Nagata Japan.

Teruki death.
Today, in the afternoon we had the recording for Radio Cafe at the company office, and a meeting for our album. At night, we did TD.

The song that we TD'd was Yuuki's song, and now, we have finshed all the TD for the songs that will be recorded onto the album-! We already have the song orders decided,so if we finish the mastering the day after tomorrow, the sound is going to be all done and perfect☆I want to hurry up and talk about the album, but I will wait until we finish the mastering.

Ah~ but 1/12 was so fun. I used 3 snare drums, and I felt like a baseball coach(^-^)kind of like, forerunner, intermediary, hold back. All three of them were so nice~. This has just become a boasting story now(^_^ I went through so much to get them, so I want to show them off. But to make my ideal set, I need 1 more. I don't particularly have a specific one that I want, I only have a vague "I want this type of thing too" kind of thought. It's Pearl-san's though.

Tomorrow is the first photoshoot in a long time! Good night☆

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

The definition of cute is o（≧∀≦）o

Nyappy o（≧∀≦）o It's Miku. Today we had an intervew for the NEO photoshoot♪ I didn't have time to sleep, and went to the photoshoot, so I had bags under my eyes-(>_<) We took cute pictures though♪I was reading the letters, and these days a lot of people write about "kawayusu". (usually you spell cute like:kawaii. but Miku spells it like:kawayusu). For example, some ask me if I want to be called kakkoii (hot/cool) or kawayusu (cute). Of course I would want to be called both(laugh) So I think maybe I should change it to kakkokawayusu (hot and cute mixed together). It's like killing two birds with one stone♪Back then, I didn't really like cute, but now I love it. I wonder what the definition for cute is though?? I think there are a lot. Like when your nails have really intricate designs on them, or like marchentic clothing (fairytale like clothing). Your personality can be cute too♪Let's all try to find our individual "cute". I'm kind of late with the boom, but these days I'm really into decorations. I can't do it that well, but it's like craft-work and it's fun♪I think that falls under cute too, don't you think o(≧∀≦) Also, I thought about our clothes for the next album. I sketched it and gave it to our stylist-san, but I'm excited on what it's going to look like. I also sketched my clothing for Cherikikki and gave it to her. But for the Cherikikki costumes, now that I think about it, I'm not going to be able to wear it during the lives...However, the clothes for the album is something that the cafekkos can wear normally every day♪Please be waiting.

Makeruna Poppopo-! (a line from Bokura no Ppopoppo: "don't lose poppopo")

Teruki death.
Today we had a photoshoot and interview for NEO-san. These days I feel like I am getting better at getting taken, compared to before(^-^) However, instead of doing a cool pose and taking a hot picture, I'm the best when they ask me to do a funny face. Today, I was able to take very nice funny pictures☆

On the way back, I stopped by Tower Records and bought a L'arc en ciel album, and then went to eat ramen with Yuuko-san and came back home.

Good night☆

I think thats fine.

Teruki death.
Today we did the mastering for the album. The cover and stuff is yet to be finished, but the sound part is completely finished! I really like this time's album♪

Actually, all the songs except Yuuki's song we did the other day, were done with TD in December, so I already had a CD-R with all the songs in the right order (Yuuki's song was un-TD'd). That was in the end of the year, but ever since then I've heard it so many times. I hate to say this myself, but I thought "wow...this is a pretty good album". And, when my mother came over to my house last week, I made her listen to it too. As we listened to it

Mom "This is...Kanon kun's song, right?"

Teru "Correct☆"

We were doing that the whole time.

I'm thinking this time's album is in a way "Shikisai Moment" -like. I feel like "Magnya Carta" was completely a Dance Rock World. It was grouped up into this one word "Dance-Rock" but it still created that width there, and that's why it was "A colorful Dance-Rock mix".
But, compared to that, "Shikisai~" didn't really have the Dance-Rock keyword coming out, and it was really conscious of "what the AnCafe style was", but since it was our first album, we were also very conscious about showing the band's capacity. So in a way, I feel like "Shikisai~" has a more wider variety.

I feel like in this new album the unwavering foundation of "the AnCafe style" that we have built up until now with songs and lives, still exists, yet also within all that it has that same width of music that "Shikisai~" had too. And the characteristics of all the members really come out in this too.

Hm~ but I don't know if this way of explaining is correct...It's not something you can explain with words. Ah~ I really want everyone to hurry up and listen to it(*_*)

Good night.

France Holland Tibet Kyoto London from Kanon

With today's mastering, the album finished-(>_<)☆
Ah- that was long
We started recording it around September, and it completed today.
When I was listening to all the songs continuously, I remembered all these things and thought about all these things.
I really have this amazing accomplished feeling
↑I wrote up until here and fell asleep yesterday;
Yesterday, we all said Good work on the completion- and after all the work ended we all went drinking together including the Engineer-sans too. And then when I got drunk and I was feeling good, it started snowing and I was kind of happy
Everyone's Inu-Koro (not sure what this is...maybe it's a dog named Koro?)
In the first snow, the thing that joined it was the familiar males(-ω- *sigh*
After I finished drinking, I spent the night at Hasegawa-manager's house

Is everyone ok? o( ≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku. Today was the recording for M-ON san and a PV check. Today I went to the company office with my bicycle. I was sleepy, but I peddled a lot. And the recording was fun♪ More like, I was deeply moved. The host was a total famous person, yet he lowered his eye level to us and talked with us. And his talks were so fun and it really made me think how different Pros are. I really look up to him now o(≧∀≦)o And, the PV was taken very cute, and I was very satisfied. It's being passed onto the real editing now, so I'm excited. Also, I just listened all the way through the new album. This time's is filled with variety and I really thought it's a broad range of music. The last song was very touching. I really want you guys to hear it soon. But you know these days I get a lot of letters and messages from people who are really troubled about some things, but are you guys ok? When you're having a hard time, you're not alone, and even if it's least I can do, I'm reading the messages and I'm thinking about it o(≧∀≦)o And when I do that, at that point we're both sharing this problem, so you're not alone. I'm always saying complaints and problems too, so I can't say anything great, but you can't forget the fact that everyone is supporting you o(≧∀≦)o
Well then, oyasumikusuke♪

Congratulations☆

Teruki death.
Today in the afternoon we did make up at the company office, and did the recording for Yumereji san! The hosts were jealkb san, but the talk was really funny and I was laughing so much my jaw started hurting(^_^ And that Haderu san...It's Londo Boots' Atsushi san, but he was so polite and courteous and nice, it really hit me. I really thought, that people working in the mainstream line of work are really well made.

And then after that we checked a rough edit of our PV at the company office. This time's performing scene is really glittery/twinkly and I like it☆

Oh yeah, yesterday night it was snowing. At that time I was out drinking with the engineer san, Hasegawa-shi, Kanon san and takuya, (takuya wasn't drinking alcohol), but the moment we realized "ah! It's snow!" In my own Teruki way, I got a little romantic. Because I love snow, and I have all kinds of memories. But the person that was next to me was the completely wasted, drunk Kanon san, and that kind of spoiled the moment. But you know Non chan...

Stop coming to work while still in your pajamas!!

Starting from around the end of the year, he keeps coming to the studio and photoshoots and such in his sleeping clothes(-.-

Changing dates, today is 1/18, which is my precious, precious mother's birthday. I already got lots of messages on the Nyappy-ken and it makes me really happy. Thank you. Also, the selling date for "CHERRY~" is 2/27, but that's my father's birthday☆

Good night.

I want to become a cat

This is takuya☆
Recently, I made acquaintances in my neighbourhood. They are these cats that are always next to this big bike in the parking lot on my way to TSUTAYA. I don't know if they're a parent and child, or brother and sister relationship, but there are always 3 of them sitting together. With me being a cat-lover, I get really healed by them(´∀｀) It actually makes me want to be a cat☆ *laugh*
I've never kept a pet at my house before, so one day I want to keep a bunch of cats.
But these days it's cold, so I get worried at nights and stuff. I wonder if they're ok...(´・ω・｀)

Oh yeah, starting tomorrow is the National Center Test for University Admissions! When I think how it's been 2 years already since I took that Center Test...I get surprised at how fast time goes by. To those students who are going to take an exam, please work hard so you don't have any regrets!

Well well-

Terugorou Kingdom♪

Teruki death.
Today all I had was one interview in the evening, so before going to the company office, I stopped by Harajuku and went to buy a wallet. The zipper broke and wouldn't shut anymore(^_^ But, I couldn't buy one afterall. Because it's so expensive. All of them were a price that made me think "You think I'll pay that much just for a wallet-! (｀ε´)" ...So, I decided to get the wallet that I'm using right now, repaired.

After the interview, I stopped by the music store and went back home. We can finally go into studio tomorrow☆ Interviews and photoshoots are nice too, but...I love touching the instruments the most(^_^ I really want to do a live right now. These days, the studio that we used for our full rehearsals also became this equipment storehouse, but I went a step further and also arranged it so that I can use that studio for personal practice and band practice(^-^)v Because right now, I feel like practicing with my own set is the most meaningful. I just want to play around with my own drums.

So anyway, good night-!

Ringo Starr

Teruki death.
Today I went into studio by myself. Just as I wrote on my blog yesterday, from now on I'm going to use the studio that we've been using for the full rehearsals as my own personal practice and band practice studio, but today, when I was taking out all my equipment from the storehouse and was assembling them together...I thought, it's been a while since I did the settings for my drumset all by myself starting from one~. During the tour and stuff, when I went into the livehouse, the Tech person, Kaneko san had already done most of the settings for me. I'm very thankful.

I started today so that I can get used to the new settings before the tour starts. Although I'm sure it's such small things that most of the people probably won't notice. The ideal image inside of me is actually this old drummer, if you say it easier, it's this sort-of old guy like drummer. Instead of the flashy and showy kind of drumming that seems to be the fad right now, I like this way better. During the NGAF I was already leaning toward that side(^_^ I want to practice a lot before the Europe tour in March starts, and when an environment like this where I can practice with my own set is arranged, I feel like I can definitely step up. I want to first mature one more stage and then go challenge the Europe tour!

And today, more than the practice, I took more time playing around with my equipment and adjusting and tuning them. I also thought about what would match the snare that I bought on the 11th the most, and changed the head for that, and exchanged the equipment like the Snare Wire and Strainer and such. Today was one fun day☆

Good night.

Shigekikkusu o（≧∀≦）o (meaning "stimulation" or "motivation". It's also a name of this Japanese gummy)

Nyappy o（≧∀≦）o it's Miku. Today I went to go see a live♪ I hadn't slept that much, so I was in a very sleepy state, but after watching the live, my eyes are wide open☆ Because everyone is so cool. I got really motivated and it made me want to do a live. It makes me impatient-v(｀∀´v) But it's gonna be a while until we can see everyone again...But everything I got motivated with was all internal things. I say this a lot in magazines and stuff thes days, but. The way I think really changed o（≧∀≦）o Teruki always tell me too "You finally realized it now-"

Oh yeah, I just had Punk-Man fidget with my hair the other day, but I'm thinking of changing my hairstyle again. But when I showed my friend the way I want to do my hair, he said "I don't think everyone will like it-" (>_<) But I want to do the hair style that I like too. I'm probably going to change my hairstyle anyway☆ Also, I got my beloved pet dog, Nyappy-chan's, hair-do or more like fur cut too. Every time I cut her hair, the color keeps changing♪ I'm just falling head over heels for the Nyappy that keeps getting cuter and cuter. For the Miku-suke who has no desire to get married, Nyappy chan is like a daughter to me. These days I'm really into the Lovely-type of clothing, and when we go take a walk and stuff it's cold so I have her wear it. It's Princess Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o Well then, bye nyappy o（≧∀≦）o

Still We Go.

Teruki death.
First off, today, I went to this music store in Akihabara. When I arrived at the Akihabara train station, there were so many people there I was shocked(*_*) Akihabara on Sundays is crazy...And, when I came out from the train station I was shocked at one more thing. I had earphones on so the sound from outside should have been mostly shut out from my ears, but this sound of this young girl's high pitched singing voice loudly came into my ears.

"One! Two! Three! Four! Ju~mp!!!"

And at that instant, about 20 guys got into a group and jumped(・_・) What great team work...I learned something.

Well, I'll bring the story back to the music shop...At times when I was busy, I had the Tech-san directly call the maker-san and order for me, but today I went to the shop for a change☆ I went today to just buy a couple parts for the snare, but other than that, it's fun to just look at the new products and the used second-hand drums and stuff. I guess I really like second-hand drums.

In the evening, I went to go see a live with Kanon san and Miku kun. I can't really explain it well, but I really thought it was nice to be able to see today's live at this kind of timing. It really made me think about my feelings and such(^_^

On the way back we all ate ramen together and then went back home. Good night m(_ _)m

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Wow-o( ≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku. Today was zy san's photoshoot♪ It's been a while so it gave me nostalgic feelings. On the way back I ate Matsuya's Demi-tama (this is Demigras sauce on top of rice with a sunny side up egg.) and went back home☆ Demi-tama is Mikusuke's favorite food. I can eat one bowl of rice with just the sauce. But when I eat too much, I'll get tired of it so usually I'm eating the pork bowl.
You know, the snow isn't falling(;_ The weather forecast was saying it's going to snow. I haven't seen the snow fall this year yet, so I want to see it. When I see snow, it's cold, yet I get this warm feeling. It's such a strange thing.

Tomorrow is a photoshoot too♪I'll do my best. This was the Mikusuke who thought that you should actually use the Large Sword for Monhan.

Jaguar san from Kanon

The other day, I had some time so I went to go watch "Pyu- to Fuku! Jaguar- THE MOVIE" (this started out as a manga. If you translate the title, it means "Flute Blower Jaguar" or something)
Hm- well it was a comedy movie, and I laughed a little
This lady who was sitting in back of me 45 degrees to the left was laughing so hard she bugged me.
Today we have a photoshoot from the evening.

Tokyo Dome.

Teruki death.
Today we had a photoshoot at night. The who-le time during the make-up and during the photoshoot I was talking about yesterday's story.

Yesterday, I was invited by this magazine editor to go to this person's birthday party. I went to it thinking even if it's far away, it'd be nice being able to see them in reality...but, I got to greet the person and even shake hands with them up close m(_ _)m And other than that there were these super famous people who I've been seeing on magazines and on TV since I was in middle school. I thought I would lose my mind(*_*) I really want to write down each person's name here, but they're just such big people, I'm not sure if it's ok to write down their names, so I'll just hold back(^_^ Oh yeah yeah, I also got to meet Rockin' Mama- Shouji san, who I hadn't seen since last year's Yaon (Hibiya)☆

Good night.

Black Beauty o( ≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o( ≧∀≦)o It's Mikusuke☆ Today I bought a guitar♪ I wanted everyone to hear me during the lives so I bought one. I'm still really bad at it so I can't play in on stage just yet, but I'll practice a lot and perform it. The one I bought this time is called Black Beauty♪ It has a black colored body and gold color decorations and the pearl-gray accent is very cute. Supposedly only a few people use it, so I thought this is it, and I bought it♪ When you think Mikusuke, it's Black Beauty o(≧∀≦)o

And, and I changed my hair style for the Album photoshoot♪ It's a new, Kiteretsu Kawayusu Hair. This is the first time I changed my hair style this much♪ Please be waiting for this too☆

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Zappy o（≧∀≦）o

Nyappy o（≧∀≦）o Today I was practicing on the guitar the whole time♪ Black Beauty has a wide neck and I thought it was harder to use than the ones I used before, but I'm starting to get used to it now. It's really fun. I want to hurry up and get good at it☆ My hands are full of calluses now. Other than that, I went out shopping with a friend☆

I bought a lot. It's a stress reliever. These days, I was feeling very calm, and it's Spring already so I bought a lot of colorful things v(｀∀´v) I tried wearing everything, but I made no mistakes. The thing I love the most is this Cute Adidas Jersey (I think in Japanese "jersey" means more like sweats and such) I already have 4 Adidas jersies at home right now. I've liked them since long time ago♪When I like something, I wear only that the whole time so it's a problem(>_<) I want to show it to everyone.

Also, I ate pizza for the the first time in a while. It's so good♪ Junk Food Banzai! And for those people thinking Mikusuke, what happened to your diet? Rest assured. I am still doing it. Tomorrow we have a photoshoot from the early morning. I'll do my best.

Shounen Ashibe

Teruki death.
Today was so cold~(*_*) We had studio from a little after noon, but the way to the studio was very painful...

Today the 4 instrument group people had a rehearsal for the album songs. We need to put our hands on them beforehand. But when we did the recording it was before the tour or during the tour, so today we all briefly confirmed the songs and just reviewed them all. And out of all of us the one that forgot most of it was Kanon san(-"- The amount he forgot was't even funny~. We were all "This is the song you made!" Oh yeah ever since we started the pre-production for the album songs, I've been seeing takuya teaching Kanon san chords a lot(^_^ Non chan is always the same way, saying "Hm~ I see I see, yeah yeah that's how it was...Munya munya(-ω-)".

And yesterday, on TV I saw this news that said "In Niigata this baby Seal got lost and arrived in this place". Supposedly there's this law that says you can't shelter Sea Otters and Seals by yourself just like that. So then, even though this baby seal was weakening, this person coudn't care for it...that was what the news said. So then, I told the members about this story. And then Kanon san said "So then Ashibe was a criminal~. Munya munya(-ω-)". Yeah that's it.

Good night-☆

("Shounen Ashibe" is this pretty old manga/anime about this boy named Ashia, Ashibe and he finds this seal in the middle of the road and names it Goma chan and it becomes the family pet.)

Today was SHOXX san's photoshoot. There were a lot of cuts so it took some time(^_^ During the tour we didn't have that many photoshoots so I feel like there's a bunch of photoshoots these days. I was so happy to go into studio yesterday~. We have studio tomorrow too! Photoshoots are very important and when you say they're fun they're fun, but when we do lives and recordings and studio and such....and just get to play around with the instruments and play music, the amount of happiness isn't even a comparison☆

After the photoshoot, we went to the company office to do the fitting for the Album clothes.

Good night-.

Photoshoot o（≧∀≦）o

Nyappy o（≧∀≦）o it's Miku☆ Today was a photoshoot for KERA & KERA Maniacs♪ Both of them were photoshoots with casual clothes. It came out cute so I'm very satisfied. Today I let out my NEW hair out to the pubic. When you take a picture of it, it turns out even better. For KERA I kind of slept in a little so I took it without make up. That's why I'm a little worried(>_<) But when I peeked into the camera it looked ok, so I'm hoping it's ok♪ I'm excited for the finished product. For the KERA Maniacs, I already did the photo checks and I was very satisfied v(｀∀´v) And for the interviews, I got to talk a lot for both magazines so it was fun. I thought after today's work, I like these kinds of photoshoots. I love dressing up and also I can have everyone get to know more about me. Ok, I'll do some guitar today too and go to sleep!!

Today was studio in the afternoon! For the first half I was practicing by myself and fixing around my drums. Before, the Tech guy, Iguchi san gave me a text book about Drum Tuning, so as I read that I was actually trying all those things.

And in the evening the members all joined in and we practiced with just the instrument group.

Good night-!

☆I dyed my hair☆

This is Yuuki(・ω・)/
Today we went to Punk Man san's place and I got my hair dyed with Kanon san('-^*)/
Kanon san got his mesh part re-dyed and I re-dyed my blonde hair and I put in pink mesh and cut my hair o(^-^)o
Thank you for always taking care of us o(_ _*)o

Today (Yesterday) was studio. We practiced the album songs and practiced the songs we're not very good at. New songs have a fresh feeling and it's fun.
After that, I went to Tornado in Harajuku where Punk Man san is, and got my hair cut and dyed and such
My head feels lighter

Piano.

Teruki death.
Today was a day off. So, I slept a lot. I wasn't planning that at all, but I just couldn't help it.

At night I was listening to all these CDs the whole time. All these new equipment that I wanted to use started to come up again, and I looked it up on the PC and such. If I'm gonna be able to use them it'll probably be around April? I'm excited☆ But you know these days I really want to do a live so bad.

Recently during the interview, I looked back at the NGAF tour and these are the things I felt all over again. During the second half of the tour I didn't even have the feeling that I was "in the middle of a tour". I had this feeling like "this is what's expected of in my life". That's why these days I feel like I'm missing something(-.-

Oh yeah yeah. These days, I don't know if I'm being influenced by Yuuki or something, but I love sweet things(*_*) I can't help but buy the cream puffs in the convenience stores and the small crepes and stuff. When other people are eating it, it looks so good...

Debu-ki death. Good night.

These days I'm trying to listen to all kinds of music no matter whether the genre is western style or japanese style, new or old. Today I borrowed all kinds of stuff at TSUTAYA again, but I discovered these pretty cool bands so I'm feeling really good(´∀｀)

Oh yeah, the other day I cut my hair. I cut it pretty short so it's fresh feeling☆ I haven't cut my hair this short since my High School days(ノ∀｀)ノシ
I feel like I got younger(・∀・) *laugh*

Amaryllis~!

Teruki death.
Today, the photoshoot we had scheduled got postponed so we suddenly got a day off. So I went out for a little while in the afternoon. But all I did was buy CDs at Tower Records and bought Bullet Train tickets.

We, AnCafe, actually have a break starting from tomorrow all the way to 2/4! It seems like Miku kun and Kanon san have a little bit of work in between though. So I, Nagata, will leave Tokyo early m(_ _)m My destination is Northeast, Aomori and Sendai. My father is transferred to Aomori right now, so I'm gonna go there with my mother☆ Seems like the snow is crazy there-! I'll upload a picture on this blog so please be waiting for that!

On my way back I ate at this simple restaurant near my house and it was doing "Chibi maruko chan" there. (chibi maruko chan is this really old manga/anime). I didn't know Migiwa-san had a pet dog, I learned that for the first time. And there was this 3-shot of Migiwa san, Migiwa san's mother, and her dog (the dog's name is Amaryllis), but out of all of them Amaryllis has the most human-like face(laugh) That made me laugh☆ In the end I stayed at that restaurant the whole time watching Chibi Maruko chan to the end(^_^

After coming home, I was making songs the whole time. I'm thinking of making songs starting from today again. I need to take my equipment to Aomori and Sendai too.

Good night.

Ah, Miku's getting another haircut? That's right, you should cut it how you want, not just how others will. Awww. He's so cute towards Nyappy~. XD Princess Nyappy.

Oh, a shoot for Zy? I want to see~.

XDD What the heck, Kanon? You watch really weird things~.

Kiteretsu Kawayusu Hair? I want to see~. Oh, Miku-kun bought a gutair. It's pretty. Similarly shaped to GazettE Uruha's guitar, actually...Hm. I want to hear Miku-suke play now. ^^

-flail- Miku. You don't /need/ to go on a diet!

Oh? So Takuya's teaching Kanon chords? ...I find that image cute, for some reason. ><

Eh? Shoxx /and/ Kerakera shoots? And Miku's new hair. I want to see~.

o___o Yuuki-kun cut and dyed his hair! (and Kanon!) Now I really want to see. But I bet it's still blonde and curled. ><

XDD Teru-san influenced by Yuukikki to eat sweets? XD Cute. Debuki death. -snicker-

Oh! Takuya cut his hair too! Now I really want to see! Aww, short? I liked his Cherry Saku Yuuki cut though, but I want to see too~. XD

Oh, they're on break? I hope they relax then, it sounds like they've been really busy with shoots and interviews and such.

thanks for the scans!! I can't wait to see all their new hairstyles

Ahh I took a long time reading thru all the blog trans ><

I love Kanon's entries! They're like so random and amusing... I didn know that Kanon is frens with Ruka san!!<33 And that he fell asleep halfway blogging? o__o Also, I can't believe he actually forgot the songs he made

Miku's toilet song is so funny xD That's being very random x3 He's so nice to Nyappy chan~

Poor Takuya having such a streak of bad luck >< I bet falling down hurts his guitar more than it hurts him in his point of view xD

Thanks for all the trans! x3

This is takuya☆

We have a little break starting from tomorrow, so today after the photoshoot ended, I went back to my parents' house(・ω・)/
Coming back home after a while is really calming☆
Oh, and I went on the scale for the first time in a while. I think the last time I went on it was before I moved to Tokyo. As an estimate I thought I must have gained around 5 kilos, but it didn't change at all and I don't even think I gained 1 kilo. But I obviously got a lot of fat around me, so these days I'm doing muscle training (work out)! I want to hurry up and get back to my healthy body I used to have long time ago(´・ω・｀) I will work hard and keep working out!

Well well-

Fear o(≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku. These days all I'm doing is reading letters♪ I've basically finished reading half of them now☆ I don't know why, but I have this fear or insecurity or something really hitting me a lot(;_ That's why I'm reading the letters and trying to calm myself down. The letters are like tranquilizers to me.
These days I'm really fascinated by this one person in this duet of two male idols. He holds his own world and he's really cool. And the part where he doesn't care about the public eye is cool too. The way he just goes down his own path is very beautiful. Because I really care about the people around me. That's probably what's bad about me. That's why, so that I can widen out my potential, I am practicing on my guitar a lot. I've grown very attached to my guitar, Black Beauty kun. I want to set out on a trip with this guy some day. It's ok even if it's a never ending trip. It's ok if I'm very bad at playing it, I just want to play it at a very beautiful scenery o(≧∀≦)o Because if I stop working on it, that's all my dreams going away. So I will work hard.

What the heck is this!

Teruki death.
Today in the afternoon, I had a recording for this certain show. The person praised me saying "It's very rare to meet a person who's this hyped up from the very beginning~. Usually everyone is nervous in the beginning so they're all stiff"☆ Hehe.

In the evening I went to go see a live with Miku kun and Yuuko san! The drums were done by Suganuma, Kozo so I was so surprised~(*_*) For his drum solo, as he's playing the drums he plays a couple kinds of percussions too. He just completely crossed the region called drum solo and it was more like a drama act... It was completely in the level of entertainment. I don't really understand this feeling, but the instant I saw that I thought about "whether it is worth the amount of money paid for that stage". If I'm going to be shown that kind of amazing act, then I would pay the tickets no questions asked. But as for myself...I thought that I still can't really say "I'm doing enough that is worth the money the people are paying" m(_ _)m

When I got home I worked on making songs again. I can't seem to progress the way I like to(-.- Good night.

Yukiguni Moyashi (This is a brand of bean sprouts in Japan. Hanawa sings CMs for it)

Teruki death.
Today in the afternoon I rode the bullet train and came to Aomori☆ Up until Miyagi it wasn't snowing at all, but then in the middle of Iwate, the scenery suddenly completely changed! It feels like I came really far it's kinda nice. Today is the first time I ever came to Aomori.

Today I am here at this certain Ryokan ("Ryokan" are those nice traditional Japanese Inns with hot springs and such). As I watched the snow I went into the Rotemburo (outside hot spring baths) and after I ate some very delicious food, I heard there was going to be a live performance of the Tsugaru Shamisen so I went to go see that.

It was a very emotion filled performance and I really enjoyed it(^-^) It was a solo performance so the strength was free and the rhythm was free. I don't know if it was that person's personal habit or something, but while he was performing, he was abundant in facial expressions and he used his body to keep the rhythm so it was very fun♪

But, even after all that finished, it was still a little past 9(-.- My parents went to sleep so I just made some songs.

Good night.

Hotate san. (scallops)



Teruki death.
Today I went sightseeing in the city of Aomori with my parents. The resource centers and stuff. Yesterday I arrived at Aomori in the evening→and I immediately went to the ryokan, but today I went around all over the place so I really felt the coldness(*_*)

The other day when I went to the company office, they gave me a video of the 1/9 CC Lemon Hall performance for me to check, so at night as I ate with my parents we all watched it together. I hate to say this myself, but I thought that I was playing the drums pretty beautifully(^_^ But, around halfway the pitch of the drums dropped and it really bugged me. That day I was really straining myself so maybe that was it... More than the video check, I was paying more attention to the sound. I need to watch it again(-.-

After that I was making songs again up until now! I finally got one song finished. I will name this one Aomori No.1♪

Good night.

AKIHABARAo(≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku♪ Today I went to Akihabara with my friend to go buy a vacuum cleaner and a pot☆ For the Mikusuke who loves electrical goods, it was a like a dream town. First I went to go look for a pot. I love Cup Ramen so I thought a pot would come in handy. And then, I found the dream pot. It's a pot that can boil water in 70 seconds. It's one where the handle can come off, and the brand was T-Fal which is a maker I'm familiar with, and the design is very cute too. So I bought it. Next, when I went to go look at vacuum cleaners, I got told to "buy a Air Purifier Machine". Supposedly when you have the air purifier machine, the dust doesn't collect. I was persuaded by the salesperson.

Recommendation Point 1: The dust that you can see with the sun light rays when you open your curtain will disappear

Recommendation Point 2: Pet Odors go away

Recommendation Point 3: You don't need to change your filter for 10 years. So you don't need to care for it

Recommendation Point 4: The dust that goes on Pianos and such will not collect

They were so insistent that the employees there were surprised too. So, I was persuaded by the two people and I bought it. That's why, I couldn't buy a vacuum cleaner(>_<) But, if what they said was true, then I won't need a vacuum cleaner o(≧∀≦)o After that I went to Punk Man's place and I had him fix my hair. This time's theme is Kikirara chan. It's glittery/twinkly extensions♪ Yes! Well then, Oyasumikusuke☆

Awww, Takuya's working out? XD Cute. I remember the blog where Miku was all 'Takuya is like an anime character, he's good-looking and strong!' or something like that.

Whaaat? Miku's fear? How scary~. Aww, fanletters and Black Beauty-san. Eheh. I want to hear him play~.

Ah? Teruki, everyone loves your drum-playing. Best of luck on the songs.

Vaccum cleaners, pots, and the ever present subject of food...ramen. XD Typical Miku.

XD Air fresheners or something like that? Wow. Another hair fix? ...Glittery/twinkly extensions? (Kirakira?) I want to see~.

XD I didn't know Kanon was friends with Ruka, either. It's interesting to see J-rockers from different bands interact with each other, isn't it?

I saw that, the lineup for the new album. I know, Nyappy in the World 3! This will be interesting. ^^ So many new songs~.

 

[RukaNightmare]

Wow, the tracklist sounds awesome! I can't wait!
Nyappy in the World 3! It sounds so nyappy!

o__o Takuya is going muscle training xDD
Ahh Mikusuke is so easily persuaded x33 But I must admit the recommendations are really tempting xD
I can't wait to see Miku's hair extensions! It must be really nice and glittery!

@Koji
Yea, it's always nice to read about jrockers interacting with other bands xD They're like a huge happy family xD

 

[Koji-kin]

Oh my god.../Another/ update. @__@ I think we're going to be getting them /daily/ now...at least they'll be shorter. As always, credits to cafexblog.

Bamu Bamu kun(a Japanese mascot character)

Teruki death.
Today, in the afternoon, I went shopping with my mother around Aomori station. It was snowing so much(-"-When the wind blew, it felt like a snow storm. You just walk for around 5 minutes from store to store and you get covered in snow.

However I also felt the nostalgic and "Aomori's so cool!" feelings. Although it wasn't as much as Aomori, there was a lot of snow in Sendai when I was a child. It was also the first time I saw the roads frozen and white since I left Sendai. It's so nice, and nostalgic. It may be hard to live here, but I really like it.

My father has only been living here for 4 months, and he says that he feels an attachment to this place. It really is different depending on if you just come here for a vacation or job, and when you stay here for a long period of time. When you live here, and when you experience all the seasons here, you have memories and this place becomes special to you. Although I have only been here for 3 days, since my special family is living here, I really am starting to like Aomori☆When An Cafe just began, my sister was living in Nagoya by herself, so Nagoya was a special place to me then. We even did our first one-man live in Nagoya on my birthday(^-^)I want to do a live in Aomori too!


The picture is the scenery I took from the 13th floor on a building called Asupamu. You had to pay to get on the viewing platform, but you couldn't see that well because it was snowing so much, so the lady at the information desk gave us post cards☆

At night, I was making songs again. I'm not even half way done yet ...this one is going to be Aomori No.2. Good night!

Tsukesobamen o(≧∀≦)o
Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o It's Mikusuke☆
Today, I hung out with Emiru kun from
ANUBIS♪It was so fun. I am taking full
advantage of my vacation♪Does everyone
know what Tsukesobamen is?I guess
it's a big hit right now. I ate it as a cup-
men(instant ramen in a cup). If you try
to explain it, it's like putting Yakisoba
(fried noodles) in a soy sauce base
soup. It is good, but I would rather eat
Yakisoba by itself o(≧∀≦)o Yes. However
It's really popular right now, so if you
haven't tried it, you should at least once.
After that, I went home and actually
cleaned my room. I'm so tired. I hate
cleaning. I want Doraemon(an anime
character who is famous for having
anything in his pocket)to take out his automatic
vacuum cleaner. Actually, I wouldn't mind
if Doraemon himself cleaned my room.
o(≧∀≦)o I wonder if he will do it if I gave
him Dorayaki(bread with sweet beans inside.
Doraemon is known to love Dorayaki)
v(｀∀´v). Anyways, I finished that, so I can
relax now. I am playing my guitar again now.
I think I got the hang of it. When I play the
guitar, I forget about the time. It's so fun.
For some reason my guitar is so cute.
It's my 2nd pet o(≧∀≦)o Yes. Well,
Bye Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o

RukaNightmare-san- I know, really, right? XDD It sort of makes them feel more real, too.
