F- Fail... (2009.10.13 02:30)

Of course, I got a cold. (^^;)

I was completely bed ridden for a while there. (*major (^^;) *)

With this season, even though I hate doctors, I went in for a quick influenza inspection. (^_^)

Well, luckily that came back negative, but my main fever wasn't that high.

So, "Nose Celeb" (^_^)


These are really nice. (^_^) I can blow my nose as much as I like. (^_^)

For people with hay fever or colds, this could be a must have item.

Everyone, please be careful so you don't catch a cold. As for me, I'm going to be completely healthy by the end of the day, no, I'd better be healthy. (^_^)

Well then well then.

P.S. The saddest thing when I have a cold is that I can't taste anything. Eating things but not tasting them, this really is hell...


[ sorry for the delay everybody, meredeth's internet went down for a little bit. oh noes! but we're back, and the next post should be up shortly here. arigatou~ (^_^) ]

WOWOW Event (2009.10.11 01:36)

To those who came out to see us, and those who watched on TV, and those who didn't get to see, thank you very much everybody. (^_^)

Since we're headed into some consecutive holidays... It's nice, huh...

And it seems that hay fever is suddenly upon me. (^^;) Well, maybe it's a cold.

My runny nose hasn't stopped all day. (^^;)

I've been constantly having tissues stuck up my nose, but of course I can't do that while I'm on stage. (^_^)

Thanks to that, I was absurdly nervous. (^^;) I kept thinking, is this snot going to fly everywhere...? (*major (^^;) *)

Well anyway, please enjoy an after-performance Service Shot. (^_^)


Well then well then, everyone have a good weekend~


[ as a fellow Constant User of Tissues, i would just like to say, GANBATTE YOUkun!
... seriously, i should just buy stock in kleenex. i could keep them afloat through the apocalypse with my tissue habits. (T_T) ]

Autumn Diet (^_^) (2009.10.9 02:16)

It's a little late I guess, but I ended up buying something like this.


In the EMS golden age, I had other machines, but I'm magnificently fickle... (^^;) I can use this guy more easily. (^_^)

It don't know if it's effective or not, but for the time being it'll be the usual live testing. (^_^)

Thanks to the tour, I gained a full 10 kilos. (^^;) But there was really no sign that I was going back. (bwahahah)

I've been on a diet of no carbohydrates at night for the past week, and I've been having hip-baths twice daily every morning and evening, and somehow easily lost 4 kilos. (*joy*)

So then, I'd better make doubly sure to repel this belly flab. It gives quite a nice electric feeling.

If I get any results, I'll let you know. (^_^)

Well then well then, have a nice weekend in Yoyogi~

Full Moon (2009.10.4 22:51)

I haven't written you all in a while. (^^;)

Yesterday I heard there was going to be a harvest moon, and when I looked up at the sky,

I though, was it a little short... (^^;) rough maybe?

Tonight, though, the moon seems dazzling.


Yes, have some of the familiar real moon. (^_^)

It's surprisingly bright for a moon actually, more pure white than in my usual photos. Maybe because I took the photoo from right under it.

Later, when I was trimming this photo, it's the telephoto of telephoto leses, but really, it's so small you can hardly take a shot of it.

If I wanted to take a properly large photo, I'd need a lens as big as a cannon I think...

Incidentally, they have for sale from CANON right now an 800mm super-telephoto lens for taking shots of wild birds and animals and such,

but it's about 1.75 billion yen... Yeah, the price of a cannon, too. (^^;)

Well then well then, everyone please enjoy the mysterious full moon.



P.S. Speaking of the full moon, man is a wolf...

But tonight...


Real herbivore style in a vegetarian restaurant. (^_^)

Just your standard sheep. (^_^)

Oyaki (2009.9.28 23:31)

I was invited by a friend to take some quick "oyaki" shots...


I came over to help out as assistant. (^_^)

Maaan, taking photos on my own was nice (^^;) but this is one case where I'll leave it to the pros. (^_^)

I'm just here to steal his snapshop technique... (bwahahah)

Incidentally, half the oyaki was still left when we hung it up for the day...



Of course I polished off that plate~ (^_^) Mm, tasty. (^_^)

As a signature product, it really is wonderful.

Well then well then~

P.S. 40 months, when you think about it, is an amazingly long amount of time....

Really, I'm kind of amazed that the place hasn't changed at all,

but in the midst of the crazy daily change I experience

things that stay the same feel really great. (^_^)



Thanks for not changing... Always...

Yatterman!? (2009.9.28 03:37)

This is really precious... (^_^)


It's been brought back with to this era with such skill. (*joy*)

It's like my childhood imagination brought to life. Although my childhood memories are pretty much non-existant these days.

Man oh man, the more I watch it, the more I remember~ (^_^)

So I say, and even today, I use sound effects like "Poit" unconciously... (^^;)

I wonder what sort of impressions the generation that didn't see the original will have.

You there, who saw this is real time!! Please watch this as a must-see. (^_^)



Or else...



"Punishment..." (not really)



It'll splendidly time-slip you back into your past. As you might expect from the Time Bokan series. (bwahahah)

With a live-action Gatchaman maybe coming up, my fun times are expanding. (^_^)

Well then well then, let's all do our best this week again~

P.S I'll have some anniversary comments next time...


[ poit would be my rendition of a button-pressing noise. the noise you get when you press a button. which in this entry, is apparently po-chi! ]

Circle of Friends (2009.9.25 01:02)

In Shizuoka last month, I met with a friend I haven't seen in 7~8 years. PUERTA DEL SOL's Hirano-san.

We had said, "Let's go to dinner sometime" so we celebrated our last reunion straight away. (^_^)

Abalone~


Of course the hot talk was in full bloom, and I was told many a useful thing. (*joy*)

We talked about his many long years on the front, and man did I really learn things.

Pueta is a world authority on silver accessories. It's one brand that I like, too.


Pow!! Skull ring obtained! (^_^)

And, it matches Hirano-san's. (^_^)



That night fired me up, made me feel like I could really go for it. (^_^)

Well then well then everyone, have a nice night.


[ no, you are not going insane. i changed the title of the post after a discussion with my awesome and wonderful translation-sensei, who pointed out that 友達の輪 generally means Circle of Friends, rather than Friendship Ring. i guess i wouldn't put it past YOUkun to make a pun such as that, but since i unfortunately can't call him up and ask him (T_T) i guess we'll go with the standard translation. (^_^) ]
