It's been a while since we did a raw (^_^) live broadcast...

Raw is good though, right? You get addicted to that kind tense feeling. (^_^)

The tour's over, so I cut my hair off drastically in one fell swoop, so my hairdo might be a little troubling, but. (^^;)

Wearing a costume other than those tour costumes was a refreshing feeling! (^_^)

And so, the promised...


A tissue box!! (^_^)

What a shrewd present they gave me. (^_^) This is a priceless treasure! (^_^)

Well then well then everyone, have a nice weekend~


[ "MStay" would be the abbreviated form of Music Station. ]

One Week... (2009.4.18 21:37)

Since then, one week has passed in a flash, huh? (^^;)

It's been entirely laundry and housework here, and body maintenance and rehersal, and going to Akihabara. (^_^)

And there's been some kind of creaking sound. (^_^)

The long trip is over, now it's time for a little of the shut-in lifestyle. All that's left is the recording... (^^;)

Waking up early every day during the tour, eating properly, moving around and sweating a lot, it really was quite healthy. (^_^)

Thanks to which, my body weight has been slowly rising... (T_T) To tell the truth, it's already scary to get on the scales. (bwahahah)

I'll do it steadily during my shut-in hours. (^_^)

Well then well then everyone, have a nice holiday~ In closing, enjoy this shot of Chura Umi Aquarium.


P.S. The Korea performance was really too bad... As soon as we can, I hope from the bottom of my heart, the day will come when we'll be able to do it.

For now (2009.4.12 05:36)

Okinawa Final Public Perfomance safely completed.



Firstly to Satan-sama (^_^) and to the band members, dancers, staff persons,

also to everyone who came out to see us,

to people who lent us their support,

to everyone here,



'Truly thank you.'



We were able to make the final day of this whole tour a huge success, and I am a truly fortunate person. (^_^)



We've still got a little ways to go before we're through (^_^) but for now, I need some maintenance for my exhausted body and heart. (^_^)

I'll report back soon. (^_^)

Please just wait a while, and I'll be back to my normal full flavor. (^_^) Well then well then, everyone have good dreams~



And finally...





'Everyone~!!! I love you!!!' (^_^)


[ good job YOUkun (and of course everybody else, too! hope he's enjoying his rest, he deserves it~ ]

Gourmet Travels Final (^_^) (2009.4.11 02:25)

Kagoshima black pork shabu-shabu~


It was the first time I've has pork shabu that was that delicious. (*joy*) Also, Miyazaki has Miyazaki beef, the best in Japan.


Yeah, that was melting tasty. (^_^) Of course, it IS Japan's best!!

And I was surrounded by my beloved shochuu... (^_^)


Kyuushuu's got some good stuff. (^_^) Delicious drinks, delicious cooking, hot lives, this is the trifecta of a good trip. (^_^)

Also, at the final stop, Okinawa.


Yeah, the promised bowlful of Okinawan soba.

It's been so many months since I've been in Okinawa, I feel all nostalgic, like this is my hometown.

This might be the best feeling I've had the whole 10 years...

Laughing and crying tonight, right to the end...

Let's make it a hot night all the way~


[ actually, what we should do, is ignore how late this post is. yeah, let's do that~ ... (T_T) ]

Sakurajima (2009.4.5 23:49)

Thanks to the sponge cake (^_^)


The Nagasaki night was finished with a big rush, too. (^_^)

And again, a long while on a bus... This time, with such a bus companion!!


Sasebo Burger. (*joy*)

Maan, it was my virgin experience with a Sasebo Burger, but I mean jeez, this thing is huge!!

How could you not be completely overjoyed at that? (bwahahah)

Not only was it big, it was also tasty, so of course the name is famous country-wide.

I've even seen them in Tokyo. (^_^)

So, as my stomach filled up, sleepiness set in, and I dozed off with the rocking of the bus for five straight hours,

and finally we were there, Kagoshima.


We've got two days on Sakurajima, but as usual, it's a wonderful scene.

This feeling of being close to mother nature like this is nice. The first time I came here, I was really moved, like 'Waa!!' (^_^)

Well then well then everybody, let's make tonight another hot night!!

Ooita - departure, Nagasaki - arrival (2009.4.3 19:16)

Ooita... Japan's leading hotsprings... If you like hot springs, it's a place you'll want to visit at least once...


But then...


We arrived in the middle of the night , running around in Kumamatsu, and when the show the next day was over, I was one tired old lady... (^^;) and then the next day we were on the move again...

When the heck will there be time to go to a hot spring...? Gi, Give me... hot spring... (^_^)

For now, I'll have to give it up and go quietly do some work (^_^) but, Ooita... Someday I'm coming back in private. (*hope*)

So, as with each time (^_^) this live too ended with a big success, and today, we safely arrived in Nagasaki.

As expected, after 2 days, my entire body is about to snap from the total exhaustion, but when you say Nagasaki, you say sponge cake, and when you say sponge cake, you say Nagasaki, so for sponge-cake loving me, I can't be silent or quiet about much of anything. (^_^)

I was in the neighborhood of this arched bridge...


and stopped in at Shoukandou. * (^_^)


I think these are the sponge cakes the royal family orders, so you can't buy them on the net, just at this store.

The shop clerks, when you go in the store, say, 'Have a sample,' and put the cakes out with tea.

The fundamental tastiness... Definitely three stars!!

I should get some for everybody to eat backstange tomorrow. (^_^) Well then well then everyone, until the next battle~

P.S When I asked the kids who were the kitten dancers in Ooita 'What's famous in Ooita?'

They kindly started shouting "Toriten!! Kabosu!!" (^_^)

and just when I was starting to think that this Kabosu must be awfully rare, I discovered it at, of course, a convenience store. (^_^)


What a clever specialty product. (^_^) It really made this an interesting trip, you know... (^_^)


[ * a manufacturer of sponge cakes. yeah. as for this drink thing the kids recommended to him, first off, do they get little kids to dress up like cats for those stage shows??? coz that would up the cute factor for the entire scenario by about a hundred thousand. as for the drink itself, the logo says "Round Kabosu" which are these cute little green yuzu/lemon things that is apparently quite sharp and used instead of lemon in some dishes. why you would want to drink something like that, i'm not quite sure, but i'm thinking along the lines of YOUkun will try anything once. (^_^) ]

Fukuoka - departure, Kumamoto - arrival (2009.4.1 02:28)

Our two days in Fukuoka were the biggest rush. Of course it was the Hakata festival, so it was hot~ (^_^)

Oh, yeah yeah, actually the day that i ate the other day's ramen, I saw some interesting things in Canal City.


That last panda-kun is a little bit cute, but... (^_^)

Man~ There was good atmosphere that night in Canal City... Ah... I wanna go on a date in a place like that... (bwhahah)

We could see a movie...

go shopping...

play at the arcade...

Ah... Nice...



.........



bwuh, what what? ... Moving on from the delusions (^_^) today (yesterday) we safely arrived in Kumamoto.


I happened upon the sight of Kumamoto Castle when we were on a little walk. (^_^)

The cherry blossoms have already begun to fall, but I thought this would be my last chance, so I made a complete study with a bunch of pictures on my camera.

I'll upload some more to the community later on.



And lastly, the promised~


Basashi~ (^_^) * Man~ As expected, the genuine thing is absurdly delicious. (*joy*)

Let's have a hot night tonight, too~


[ * a raw horsemeat dish. uh, nom?
erm, durrr, yeah. kumamoto. none of this kumamatsu stuff. definitely not... (T_T) ]
