^ but how old is Takuya?

ah, he doesn't even have body piercings too XDDD

 

[Sugar-San]

I heard that he's 19

He must be younger than 20, since he's not allowed to smoke. xD

 

[orangedream]

yeah, taku is young xD He's gonna turn 20 next 9th february

 

[Ruki~addicted]

^ Woah, Takuya is so young ~~!!! xDDDDDD

 

[suki_desu]

wow.. So that means that kanon and bou is also 24 right? Cause i remember their ages were the same or... Almost the same.
I wonder where bou is. I have a feeling he's not in japan anymore.. If he was im sure someone wouldve seen him and whatnot right?
People would still know how he looks like even with a different image
hmm wow fifty something dollars for a ticket?
I'd pay that much for a ticket to see an cafe...and kanon live <3333

 

[RukaNightmare]

I tink bou is a year older than kanon x33
Yea, takuchan is really young xD He still has a long way to go x3

☆Happy New Year!☆
It's Yuuki(=^▽^=)
It's a new year! We did a New Years live!
Today...we grouped up session bands, so I was able to do it with the Vo. Tatsurou-san(Mucc-san), Vo. MIKI-san(Mix speaker's inc.-san), Gt. aie-san (the studs-san), Gt. Nao-san (heidi.-san), Ba. Aki-san (SID-san), and Ds. Sasabuchi Hiroshi-san(Plastic Tree-san). I was so nervous! It left a very nice memory being able to group with these people, and it was so fun! Thank you very much! o(^^o)(o^^)o
I hope this year will be a good year for everyone!

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Happy New Year(he wrote "Akeome" it's a shortened version)

Happy New Year (long version) (・ω・)/ Last year was a very shocking year, and there was a lot of things that happened, but I will do my best to make this year as proficient as the last, so please support me!
Well, well-

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Happy New Year☆

Happy New Year m(_ _)m Please support us this year too☆

It's Teruki. Today we had a Count Down Event Live at Shibuya CC Lemon Hall. We hadn't done lives with other bands for a while, so I was really nervous. And on top of that, the 2 bands that we performed with were both veterans, and very skilled so I was learning a lot from them, and to tell the truth, I was also very shocked too(^_^ I mean, they were so good...I still have a lot of work to do. However, I think we were succesful at going full out and being ourselves☆Although I had a lot of things I would like to work on, and things that I regret, there were also a lot of things that we gained from this event too! I am really happy we performed there.



And...during the session, I was able to wear a maid outfit(*_*)How embarrasssing...but it might become a habit.

Good night.

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Happy New Year (he wrote "Akeome nari-") o( ≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o( ≧∀≦)o It's Miku. Happy New Year!!
The new year has finally begun. How did everyone spend the count down? ?
Mikusuke spent it at a live. It's really fun to spend events with bands. The count down event had so many super-senpai(people that are older, or have more experience than you) that I thought "Is someone like me okay?". However, the senpais helped me out, and gave me courage, so I was able to do my best o(≧∀≦)o
It was the best count down!!
Also, the session was really fun. I was able to do it because the session members were supporting me a lot. Also, I dressed up as a maid, and sorry to say this myself, but I was pretty cute. I liked it so much, I took a picture of it o(≧∀≦)o
I wanted everyone to see it, so I'll post it here in public. I love maids now.
This year, Mikusuke's ambition is to become more like a vocalist. Mikusuke still doesn't have enough skills as a vocalist. Today, I really felt that!! So, I will practice a lot and work hard. I also need to keep loving An Cafe.
I will really do my utmost best this year, so please help me too. Also, this year is the year of the mouse. It's Mikusuke's year o(≧∀≦)o So, I will work even more hard. Well, good night, Cafekko-chan o(≧∀≦)o

New Years gift☆

Good Morning☆ It's Teruki.

There were a lot of messages saying "Teruki-san! Give me a New Years gift☆", so Uncle Teruki has prepared a New Years Gift for the cute cute Cafekkos♪


2 hours from now, I will put up a New Years gift picture. Yesterday, I captured an offshot picture of one of our members. (*｀∀´*)uhehe



Well, see you later....

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Here you go.

See, see~ He's so engrossed in taking a picture of himself~ o(≧∀≦)o (saying it like Yoshio) (Yoshio is a famous Japanese comedian, known for "oppappi-")

Happy New Year from Kanon

Sorry for being late. Happy New Year☆
Yesterday, I was able stay up all morning and have fun at an after party with everyone, and when I got home, I melted into sleep.
When I woke up, the Nyappy-ken and stuff, had a bunch of comments saying they want to see the Nurse. Thank you.
Miku and Teruki were maids, I was a nurse. Well, if you say it, it is the same cosplay...
But, I don't know what kind of nurse everyone was imagining. I am not responsible for what happens after you see the picture.

Well, there you go

The man that was drank by sake, 2008.

Its Teruki.
Yesterday, I was at home peacefully watching the hidden talents show, and playing fami-con, but at night, I went out to drink with my friends. I actually safely got home with the last train, but for some reason, I felt like drinking more by myself....



When I woke up, I looked at the table and was so surprised, I was like..."Huh!!? I drank all of this myself!? (?_?)"

Right now, my head is violently hurting death ...(-"-

EAST

Teruki death.
Today my head hurt so much because of my hangover, so I was just being lazy the whole day until evening(T_T) Then from evening I was listening to CDs the whole time, and...being lazy and stuff. Munya munya m(_ _)m

At night, I left the house planning on going to Matsuya, and I called Tohru san, but then as I was consulting him about drums and all kinds of things, it became a much longer call than I was planning. In this cold I was talking to him for about an hour in front of the store(*_*) But, when you can discuss and resolve and get answers to things you are wondering right now, or things your troubled about, then it's actually really fun♪ When I decide on things I'm going to start doing from now on, or just think about the future, I get really excited. (excited is "waku waku") Yes, I am Waku-waku-san. I am Gorori-san. There are actually a lot of people who understand this joke (laugh)
But, coming back to the main topic...starting from the second half of last year, I rapidly started to establish a concrete direction of where my type of drumming was going. I feel like this year too, as I do lives and recordings, I think I am going to be provoced by all the experiences and new sounds, that I will keep growing☆ Ah~ I'm excited. I just want to hurry up and go to the music intrument store in Osaka-! I hope the thing I wanted is still there.

Good night.

New Years-like things o(≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku. Everyone, midnight Nyappy-! Yes. I'm pretty sleepy. Today was studio! Yay. Today I went to the studio with a bicycle. I bought a bicycle to help out with my diet too. I quit the motor-bike (kind of like a motor moped) that I had been using as transportation, and decided to use a bicycle. I don't know how long I'll keep up with this, but I'm gonna try it♪ But I hadn't rode on a bicycle for so long, it really gets to your legs. My thighs got so swollen immediately! But it feels good at the same time. I feel like I'm really exercising. Of course lives are a really good excercise too. But the bicycle is somewhat different! The hill roads and such really feel like the after-school sports trainings. I graduated from the mama-chari and now I'm using the foldable bicycle so the wheels are really small. ("Mama-chari" are these types of bicycles made mainly for women, and they have a lower front bar and such.) That's why I don't move forward much(>_<) But, I really care about the way I look, so it can't be helped! It's a deep green bicycle and it's pretty cute♪ Bu-t, I still have something I need to do...I need to get a license for the medium size bike. I think, I haven't gone to the training institute since May or June...Oh no(>_<) But the teacher at the training institute is so scary..Since I haven't gone for so long I'll probably make mistakes and definently get yelled at(>_<) Once I have a day off I need to go...

But you know, I haven't done anything New Years-like. I didn't even eat Osechi (Japanese New Years food) or go to the Shrine. All I did was play around with my friends the whole time o(≧∀≦)o But I got to refresh a lot!! But, I want a good-luck charm, and I want to pray for all kinds of things to God, so I definitely need to go to the Shrine. I need to go to a Shrine that has a entertainment God-ov(｀∀´v)

But I think I'll skip on the Osechi. It seems like Miku-suke doesn't really like Osechi. Especially Kurikinton (sweet mushed chesnuts) o(≧∀≦)o Bleh(>_<) And are there people doing Mon-han?? Miku-suke is being unfaithful and changed from the big sword to the one-handed sword. What kinds of weapons are you guys playing, for those who play it?? I wanna know o(≧∀≦)o

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Why!!! (he says this in Kansai dialect -- "Nandeyanen")

Teruki death.
Today we had a full rehearsal for the lives on the 5th and 9th. I hadn't played the drums so much in a while, so it became a really progressive day(^-^)v

And...when I got home I was playing Famicon. These past few days (starting from New Years), I've been playing Dragon Quest. Yes, and, I came all this way and the Adventure Book vanished...*depressed*(T_T) I start playing games for the first time in a while and this is what happens-. It's so sad...

And just to add, the Hero's name was "Tamama".

But, this is probably a message from God. "Hey, Terukichi. There's no time to be doing games. Why don't you try making one song or something" is probably what he's saying.

That's true~!! I need to work harder! Ok, starting from tomorrow, I'll seal the games for a while! Good night-☆

ＦＵＨＡＳＨＩＳＡＳＨＩＹＡＦＵＹＵ (I don't know what he was trying to write)

Teruki death.
Today was a continuation of yesterday and we had a full rehearsal. But ever since the end of the year, Yuuki's been sick so he's been going to the hospital and such so we couldn't do it for a long time(-.- I'm a little worried for tomorrow. The program seem like...it's going to get all confused.

When I got home, I dyed my hair. For me, even when I bleach my hair, my hair color doesn't come out at all. This time too, all I wanted to do was change the black parts of my roots to brown, but for the first step, yesterday I did high-bleach and then I left it like that for an hour, and then finally my roots got brown-ish. Then, during that time the tips of my hair and parts that were lighter got blond-ish, so today, I did the second step and re-dyed it to brown. The light hair was something new and fresh, but I like the darker color better♪

Tomorrow is the first live for this new year! And it's Miku kun's birthday. I'll do my best~☆ Good night.

☆CC Lemon Hall Live☆

It's Yuuki(・ω・)/
Today was a CC Lemon Hall live o(^▽^)o
It was this year's first opening live and it was Miku san's birthday live(*゜▽゜ノノ゛☆
Thanks to all the Cafekkos, all the staff, and other people related, it turned out to be a great success(*^o^)乂(^-^*)
Thank you very much m(u_u)m
I'd be nice if this year turns out to be a great year too(//▽//)

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

I will~ let it be~ Mikku Mi~ku~♪

Teruki death. Thank you for today's Shibuya CC Lemon Hall☆

Today, the arrangements for the rehearsal and everything else just took so much time that the opening and closing got delayed. Sorry it got late(-.- And for today's live, I was confirming the performance in my head while I was playing, so I couldn't relax very much(^_^

But, the hall was really heated and excited so I got to have a lot of fun☆ I like the halls better~. When it's a bigger place, I get all excited and nervous. And when it's a one-man, it's a space where you get surrounded by all Cafekkos, so that's something very fun too. After experiencing that count down event the other day, I really felt that again. This year, I want to do a lot of lives with other bands.

Well for now, please be excited for the lives on the 9th and the 12th(^-^)v There's gonna be a lot of stuff happening.

And and, January 5th was Miku kun's birthday. Congratulations☆ I'd like to work hard this year too so that we can all celebrate it together again next year!

Good night-.

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Congratulations☆

It's takuya☆
Today was Miku san's birthday live at Shibuya CC Lemon Hall! I hadn't done a Tokyo live ever since the NHK Hall, but everyone was so energetic and it was really exciting☆
And today we performed 2 songs with a special band that consisted of Lolita 23Q's Sou-kun and MixSpeaker's, Ink's Seek-san as the vocals, Guitar as Miku-san, Drums as Teruki-san, and Bass as me☆ I got to experience things that were very stimulating like playing a bass and wearing maid costumes and other things I don't usually do, so it was really fun(・∀・)*laugh*
Also...On the Nyappy-ken there were a lot of messages that said they wanted to see a picture of the maid outfits, but...sadly I didn't take any pictures(^_^

And now there are only 2 more lives left for the tour, but I will use all my energy for the remaining lives and do my best!
Well then-

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Thank you o(≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o（≧∀≦）o This is the very happy Miku! Today, I got my birthday celebrated at the live, but I was so happy. Well more like I was so moved. Just the day before the live, I was coincidentally watching the Hibiya DVD and thinking "The AnCafe during this time was so cool". And I thought that tomorrow, I needed to do a live that will beat this DVD! And I thought that these days I had been losing, compared to Hibiya. So I just wanted to give my all to the live on the 5th. And then, on the night that it turned my birthday, coincidentally the person who gave me the very first Birthday mail was Bou-kun. I had just been thinking about him, and I had been emotional watching that live so I was really moved. And the content of that mail was something really deep too. That's why, I'm really happy that I got to be deeply moved with today's live. Getting my birthday celebrated by the Cafekkos and the members, and getting it celebrated by the staff, I really am a fortunate person. I've never had a birthday where I was moved this much. I've always thought that I hate getting older and such, but if I could feel this kind of emotion every year, then becoming a old man isn't so bad v(｀∀´v)

All I did was receive things at today's live, and I feel really bad. I'm the one that's actually supposed to be giving. My heart and body is fully re-charged now!! I will definitely give back everything I got today!! Although I'm not good at it, for me, all I have is singing. That's why I'll do my best.
Thank you o(≧∀≦)o Oyasumikusuke.

Housewife Power-.

Teruki death.
Today, my mother came to my house a little after noon and she helped me tidy up and clean my room and such(^_^ I'm sorry~ No matter how much time passes I'm still a kid...But my room is now very organized. It's so clean now, it reminds me of the first time when I moved into this place☆ And then we went out to eat together, and I saw her off at Shinjuku.
My mom is staying over at my older sister and her husband's house until the CC Lemon on the 9th.

Tomorrow we have a PV shooting so I need to wake up early again(*_*) I'll do my best! Good night~.

Oh my. Teruki taking pictures of Miku? Kanon was actually wearing a nurse outfit and not a maid outfit? I can already see fanfiction popping out of this. -snickers-

Ah...! Miku wrote about Hibiya and Bou. Aww. It's really sweet that Bou sent Miku a birthday card. I hope he's doing well, wherever he is.

So Miku played guitar and Takuya played bass? And they all dressed up? Ahhh, I wanted to see the live that Miku was determined to be 'better than the Hibiya one'.

Takuya is doing exceptionally well for someone so young. Then again, youth doesn't really matter here. He's an excellent guitarist.

 

[orangedream]

Thanks for posting the scans, Koji-kin (btw, who is that guy in your avi?) If I remember right, the pics were taken in Miku's house ^_^ Nyappy is the most adorable dog I have never seen, isn't it? <3 I read the blog entries yesterday, they are great as always~

 

[RukaNightmare]

Nyappy is a super adorable doggie!!<33 He's now a celebrity dog huh? xD

Aww... Yuuki's been falling sick so much nowadays... I hope he feels better...
Bou kun is so sweet. I rmb Miku saying that Bou is the person who always gave him cards and presents during his birthday. Bou still does till now and it's such a warm feeling x33
LOL! Kanon! How can we be scared of u?? You're such a cutie xD

 

[Koji-kin]

Orangedream-san- That is Takeru, vocalist of SuG. If you haven't listened to them yet, I highly reccomend it! -coughs and stops advertising SuG in the Antikku thread-

Awww, yes, Nyappy's adorable. ^0^

 

[Miiko]

If I shall remember our cafeboys' ages/birthyear: Miku is 24 years old now (borned 840105), Kanon 23 (borned 840705), Bou 24 (borned 830916), Teruki 26 (borned 811208), and Takuya 19 (borned 880209). Yuuki's year is unknown. :'O But I would guess he's between Takuya and Kanon XD (lol, after writing all this I feel like an old irritating lady wanting everything to be perfect... xD sorry if this made you irritated. )

About Takuya, I actually think he is allowed to buy cigarettes now. XD You know, everyone borned during the same year in Japan get of age the same day. My Japanese theatcher told me it was the 15th January. :'D So in that case, he's not a minor anymore though he hasn't turned 20 yet... x) STILL I wish he won't start smoking anyway. ._.' I hope he has more brain than that. <_<'

 

[suki_desu]

in japan they have vending machines that sell cigarettes and little kids buy them.
so.. im sure it doesnt matter, and my friend in japan is underage he's like 15 and he buys liquor from the stores and they dont i.d him shocking neh?
mmm and wow they're all much younger than i thought haha that's good!!

 

[xFanGirl]

Nice scans

And Suki_desu,
About the thing you said about Bou-Kun,
I think you right,
If he was still in Japan,,people would have see him,
Because i think the most people know about that he leaved AnCafe,
So i think he isn´t in Japan anymore,
But then,,,the question is,,,where would he be then?

 

[suki_desu]

I know this might sound stupid and im not saying this is true, but what if his other dream was to go to college somewhere outside of japan? Or... His other dream was to help the less fortunate? Haha now im just talking dumb lol

 

[Miiko]

Hehe, it's impossible to say what's true and what isn't true about Bou today. :') Though we are allowed to imagine what might be, as far as it doesn't go to spreading rumors.

But still I don't think he would leave the country just because he left An Cafe... if he left the country he would've had other reasons. Also as far as I'm concerned, no one in An Cafe don't get that much recognized in the streets. I mean, there are a lot of people living in Japan, therefore it's a small amount of nyappy people knowing them considering to the whole number of Japanese people. I can't really imagine being recognized by people would be Bou's biggest problem.

 

[orangedream]

Yeah, I agree with you. I think he probably didn't left Japan, though we can't know it for sure. But, maybe, he will be recognized by a cafekko someday, and then we'll know where's he, and how he looks now ☝

Orangedream-san- That is Takeru, vocalist of SuG. If you haven't listened to them yet, I highly reccomend it! -coughs and stops advertising SuG in the Antikku thread-

Thank you n.n I think I'm gonna try to listen to them. I have just seen a PV, and the song is so cute (and I love Takeru's smile ^_^ ) ...and now I should stop talking about it, since this is the an cafe thread.. gomen ^_^'

 

[Koji-kin]

I don't think he'd go as far as to leaving Japan just because he left AnCafe. As sad as it is, AnCafe isn't /that/ well known. J-rockers frequently wander the streets of Japan, and they're seldomn recognized. Makeup and hairspray is an amazing thing. Not to mention, it's quite easy for Bou to change his appearance and not be recognized.

Orangedream-san- Glad you decided to try them then. Yes, yes, perhaps you should take it to the SuG thread.

 

[suki_desu]

i didnt mean leaving japan JUST because he quit an cafe xD
i meant maybe he left b/c we never heard from him or heard a fan girl.
I mean if one fan saw bou, wouldnt it kind spread? So... Thats why i said lol
But like u all said, no one knows for sure :] im sure he's happy wherever he is

 

[RevengeBabyYeah]

Ah those blog pics killed me, thankyou! Kanon as a nurse? HOT

I don't if this has been posted but:
"Good news for European An Cafe fans! The band's upcoming album will be released in Europe on March 14th, ahead of its Japanese release in April. It will be available just in time for the start of the Live Cafe Tour '08 - Nyappy go around the world, set to start in Finland on March 15th." http://www.jmusiceuropa.com/uk/news.php?archive=01/2008#26690

Yay! we don't have to wait as long as I thought

 

[Uchiha_Rei]

Yaaay! I just read it as well!!
So Glad it will come out sooner!!!

 

[Nan Desu Ka]

wow awesome!! but why can't they release it in america!!?? I hope someone from Europe gets it in march and uploads it so we all don't have to wait an extra month *wink wink* lol


seriously what's with ancafe only doing little things like convention q&a's in America and actually touring and releasing stuff in Europe, it's so not cool!

 

[orangedream]

What, what? So, are they releasing the album first in Europe and then in Japan???

 

[suki_desu]

Idk but im jealous!!!!!!!

 

[Miiko]

...omg, releasing the album in Europe first sounds so weird. -,O BUT I honestly thought it also sounded strange that they would've released the album after the tour... Though I didn't thought they would've solved it THAT way. XD
Hmhmm, if I get some technical skills (XD) I might be able to rip the cd when I've get it and no one rips it before me. ;3 since they are in Sweden the 16th March, maybe I will be able to do it the 17th or 18th. If no one's have been faster which I actually guess there will be ;D wiiwii. HAha... the Europeans being able to buy the new album first... oh my, now THAT'S new! ;3

Nyaah, but this gives me sort of twisted feelings. <<; lol, I want the JAPANESE ver! X'D kuyakuya, sorry. ;P

 

[Nan Desu Ka]

I need to listen to ancafe today....I'm so depressed...someone broke into my car last night, they broke out the side window and I can't tell if they took anything or not...what makes matters worse is there was definitely stuff they could've taken and didn't like my crappy little portable cd player, my ipod shuffle, some cd's and stuff but they didn't, so they either were looking for more expensive stuff or were looking for ID stuff like important numbers and **** and that scares me...
