Tama-Ari School (2009.12.23 20:32)

I have a hunch that there was another name for this, but I'll call it what I want.

'The TamaAri School' (^_^) *

The Live is safely over, but we were in that box for a while, so

when that was finished, I was finished too. (^^;) For just a single day, it was INTENSE. (^_^)

So, have something from today's school lunch.


It was hashed meat and rice. (^_^)

And curry, too, I loved that, thank you very much, but this time I thought it was delicious.

Again, just as in our original concert, we had everyone else's lunch. (^_^) But it was better than the bentos backstage. (^_^)

If it could make up for concert sales after next year, that'd be great, huh. Takoyaku, yaki udon, yaki soba...etc

Then we can get some Goldfish Scooping, a lottery, and maybe some yo-yos. (^_^) ** We'll have a full on festival in no time, it'll be fun.

Maybe that's why we've got two more shows before we're even done with this year's Lives.

Everyone, let's make this the hottest Live of all.

Well then well then, fare thee well~


[ * tamaari being the shorthand name for the saitama super arena they played in this past summer.
** goldfish scooping is a game where you stick a few little goldfish in a big vat of water and then let little kids try their hand at catching them with a little laddle thing. the kids get to take them home as pets.
*** MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY~ ]

Fi, finally for sale!! (2009.12.17 05:51)

Lots of gamers have been waiting anxiously for this game,

and it finally went on sale today. (*joy*)

Once again, we get a present from the people at SquareEnix. (^^;) I'm going to borrow this space to say, "Thank you so very much." m(._.)m

I'm going to enjoy playing this, and seeing how far FF has progressed on the new PS3 platform.

Well, my schedule's packed for a while, so it'll be neglect play... (^_^)

Lately I've had an inclination for the gamer's lifestyle, but...

Play steadily every day → get busy → don't play for a while → forget the story → start over from the beginning → endlessly repeat... (^^;)

I've fallen into a holding pattern. (^_^)

This time, I think I'm going throw it down with "all nighters" until it's done while I've got the time.

Man... The number of sleep deprived people is going up after today. (^_^)

Well then well then everybody, fare the well~


[ AAAAACK! i sooo need this game. a friend of mine is importing it, and i was already 100% jealous, and then YOUkun just has to bust out and taunt me. not fair, universe. play nice! ]

Illumination (2009.12.12 16:46)

The world is all Christmas! (^_^)

And Christmas means prese... I mean, Illumination. (^_^) For a start, I went to midtown.


The light displays were different from when I've been out before. This year they changed the color of the light.

It's beautiful, wonderful, like stars shining on the earth, this is definitely something to see in person.

Even so...

To the left of me, to the right of me, there were all these couples talking of love. (^^;)

I was in the midst of a storm of text messages between feverish couples. (^_^)

With my lumpy full body parka, and carrying my tripod, I was quite the atmosphere killer,

and I kept fearing that I'd be questioned by the cops or something while I was taking photos. (^_^)

But, thanks to the recent SLR fads, some other people were out there taking photos just like me, so I felt a little bit better. (^_^)

So, it's the Christmas season, here's a tree.


At first glance, it doen't look much like a treee (^^;)


but it's packed with with little dangling Santas. (*wow*)

What the heck, how many of them are there...?

It, it's a miracle! (^_^)

This time, it started raining en route, but I went out to take some photos, ignoring the freezing temperatures in favor of photography. (^^;)

Yeah, I didn't take any photos. (big (^^;) )

So then, what should my next target be? (^_^) Do you have a spot that you recommend?

Everybody, good pictures, great sights, great love talk. (^_^)

Please enjoy the various illuminations.

Well then well then, fare thee well~

What!! (2009.12.8 20:50)

Lupin III stole the Moyai statue at Shibuya! (^_^)


Lots of couples meet at the Moyai statue... What the heck was he thinking, making so many bittersweet memories just disappear...

If Lupin III did steal it, isn't this the most stylish teaser? (^_^)

Everybody who came to Shibuya was pretty surprised.

If you had a rendezvous "At X time in front of the usual Moyai statue,"

'Wha? The Moyai statue... is gone? (^^;)'

Things like that had to happen, right? (^_^)

So it'll be fun to find out what he steals next.





To be frank, I'd like to steal Fujiko-chan... (bwahahah)

Well then well then, everyone,

Bon voyage~


[ well, unless you're familiar with lupin the 3rd, this post isn't going to make much sense, and if you ARE familiar with lupin the 3rd, this post is going to be hysterical and salivatingly exciting. (^_^) in other news, sorry it took me so long to catch up with all the posts! i'll try super hard from now on! (jeez, i think i've been translating too much YOUkun lately, i'm starting to sound just like him!) ]

Autumn Leaf Viewing (2009.12.4 21:29)

Did everybody get to go out?

Even the fatigue of the Rakuen Festival was left behind. (^^;) Even with autumn leaf viewing,

I thought about heading out with a camera in one hand,

but the season passed me right by. (^^;)

Since I bought that backup camera, I haven't been able to take whatever pictures I wanted,

and here again, the mass camera was shaky and pixillated. *big (^^;)* Really, this camera had it bad... (T_T)

I thought this weekend was going to be my last chance, but unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate. (*sad*)

For now, have a shot of Fuji I took on the way back. (^_^)


Autumn colors...

So nonchalant after all that community. (^_^)

Well then well then, everyone have a nice weekend~

The Final Dawn (2009.11.30 02:30)

We were able to go out and meet this new expiramental Rakuen Festival event successfully.

In the middle of constantly changed circumstances, everybody had to make it up and fumble for this event,

but even here, from the shapes on stage, we seem to have ended with a big bang.

This success, not only for those of us on stage, for the dancers, us members, the staff and everybody, but also for people who couldn't come out to see us, people who helped us,

for everybody who influenced this event, the result of everybody's work is hot memories.

Ascending to the highest place on that stage once again like this, it made me proud. All of you built up that stage together with us, so please feel proud of yourselves, too.

I'm truly thankful from the heart. "Thank you."

Also, since we were talking about it...

In answer to everyone's cheers...

Decorated with the beauty of perfection!!! (*joy*) To all of the people who were helping us out, I send my highest love and thanks. (^_^)

Ah, maybe sleeping together is ok? (^_^)

I think I'd like to jump right into some more concerts with these tunes.

Well then well then, everybody, until the day we meet again. (^_^)

Bon voyage~

... (T_T) (2009.11.28 23:23)

Still broken... (^^;)

I'm truly sorry, I can't live up to everybody's encouragement...

Honestly, my body and spirit are worn out. (^^;)

Tomorrow, too, cheer and really go for it, so we can reach our highest on stage.

This is our final day, too, so keep it up right through to the very end. (^_^)

And also, for people who have to go outside, keep yourself properly protected against the cold, so that you won't catch a cold.

I met a lot of people at the store, but it was really freezing, even with a ton of bodies, so definitely take care.

Tonight, please take a nice soak in the bathtub, and keep warm, and get some sleep.

And if you're inclined, maybe you could warm me up too? Sleeping together. (bwahahah)

So, finally the last day dawns, let's make this the hottest night.

Well then well then everybody, adieu~

Uuuuugh... (2009.11.27. 23:51)

Gwuaaaaaaaa....


I'm still broken from Mihama... (T_T)

On the way back, it got way too serious in the front, so I headed back to amuse the dancers. (^^;)

Really, it's been a long time since I got this down. (bwahahah)

If you look at it that way, it seems just fine actually. (^_^)

Well, what's important is that you all had a good time...

Aaah... Tonight, it'll be just me and my pillow. (^_^)

Two more days of laughing and crying!! Let's have a hot time with everyone at the Rakuen Festival.

I'm getting revenge excited. (^_^)

Well then well then, fare thee well~

P.S. Looking at everybody's writings got me a little electrified. (^_^) Truly, truly thank you as always. It really saved me. m(._.)m

Uchi Cafe~ (2009.11.26 06:22)

My present conquest. (^_^)


Lately, they've had a bunch of these, so the relative buying rate must be high,

but for people who conduct their business at in the middle of the night, like me, it's quite a fortuitous meeting. (^_^)

If you run into the delivery truck at just the right moment, you can get them before they even get on the shelf. (^_^)

Well, in the middle of the night, sweets definitely fall into the "flab danger zone," but you've got to buy this seriies when you can,

or at least that's my excuse for eating them. (^_^)

Here, roll cakes, cream puffs, eclairs, I've eaten them all,

but for me, of course, it's the roll cakes that I really love. (^_^) They just taste great, every time.

Well then well then, everybody be careful not to overdo it on sweets. (^_^)

Bon voyage~

Mihama School (2009.11.23 20:55)

Again with the shaking. (^_^) It was so much, the audience seats had to be flying around!

Hope everyone's okay... Probably got motion sickness... (bwahahah)

But, the tension certainly went up with the shaking. You could say it was a feeling of being one with each other, or a direct feeling,

like the power in that place was being directly transmitted, the more you shook the better it got. (^_^)

With these tunes, even the dawn was a little shaky. (^_^)

So, inside was hot, but outside, Mihama was really cold, and after we were done and got back to Tokyo (^^;) Ooo... Cold...


Since I took this shot of myself on the bus on the way back, I was a little pouty. (^^;)

With this rain, everybody be careful not to catch a cold, okay? It's warm during the daytime, but at night, it gets cold in a snap, so keep yourself properly warmed up and get plenty of sleep.

Well then well then, farewell everybody~
