20080824


I haven't been writing for a while.


I was focusing on the meetings and general rehearsals.

It's a bit late but alice nine's 4 years old!!

There'll be plenty of meetings, and things that inspire and make us nervous, it'll get even cooler!!!!!

Next year on this day, I want to drive at full speed together with those who love alice nine~.
Yep.

Hiroshima!!!


Good job!!!!!

Every time we come to this livehouse
even though it's small,
it becomes huge with the presence of those gathered there!
At the moment we're partying with the staff.

It's raining so take care!!

Fukuoka's summer live


Fukuoka good job-thanks!!

We gradually made LOGOS feel smaller!!

Well~ it feels like we have problems every time we're in Fukuoka (laugh)

Last summer, the venue's speakers failed,

Last month the guitar amps failed,

Today, the amps failed once again (laugh)


I think we're being tested.

However, I think my guitar play gets better each time.

Me and my guitar.

If I think that way, I should be able to come up with a cool sound.

I learned something again today!!

Thank you Fukuoka.

I'll never forget today's dripping sweat!!!


Then, this doesn't concern only Fukuoka, but I was thinking about this problem.

There are a lot of people who don't do this, and of course there are also of moments where this doesn't happen,

but is it possible to enjoy ourselves freely while being careful of those around us?

And I don't know if it's possible to be careful of our surroundings at a standing live, but when the crowd is packed, can we be careful even if we're just moving our hands?

And, sometimes we feel things.

It's ok if you're enjoying yourself.


Japanese people are shy, so unconsciously we can't help but yearn for the same things.

It's a good thing,

but it doesn't suit Rock.


It feels great because we're together.

I think it's the same thing whether we're performing or watching.

I guess I'll be slowly on my way toward the next step.

Fukuoka!!


Good job with yesterday's event under the blazing sun!!

I got even more charged!!

And today is Fukuoka!!

There's still more to go!!!

Without getting into details, it's gonna be cool!!!

After the event ended, I went to get new boots and they fit perfectly!!

And today I'm in quite a good mood.

The reason is...

Osaka


Osaka good job-thanks!!!!

Today we overcame something.

A few hours have passed since it ended, but even though I put all my power into it,
I don't feel tired at all.

I wonder why (laugh)

We've achieved some great things,

Even though there were difficult things that seemed so simple, actually we managed to overcome them with a bit of courage, didn't we?

Since I've noticed that recently, I think the things we did here are awesome (laugh)

I want to give birth to something in every single moment, I want to change things.


I want to make the most out of these emotions.

Right now I can make good use of this time.

If there's a problem, I don't want to wait before doing something about it.


Because at this moment I might be changing someone's life.

Yes, LIVE!!!!

I honestly don't know how good today's live was.

Because it's what every single one of you feels.

The only thing I have to say is


I, who's seen all of you smiling, feel blessed.


But I want to see something burst into all of you more and more.


And, my boots also burst beautifully (laugh)

I'll have to replace them before the next live.

Very soon


It's the rehearsal.

Today it feels great because the ceiling is high so I think we'll turn into stars.

Well I hope everyone's heart
will turn into a star too.

Nagoya


Nagoya, good job-thanks!

We were finally able to do a one-man at ZEPP!!

We can do anything after this!

Yesterday was the best as it seemed the audience was wild even on the sides!!

We're gonna change that.


A-n-d-!

We'll be arriving in Osaka soon!!

Today is
Nanba HATCH!!

We've already been there a couple of time right?

It's gonna be the perfect visit!!





In Nagoya one of the Takamine technicians came to see us!!

Thanks to his detailed tuning, I was able to have a good feeling about my playing during the live.

From this tour, I'm using brand new electric and accoustic guitars, so as the tour progressed I'm learning quite a few things.

Right now I'm as excited as I'll ever be!!



Let's enjoy ourselves to the max.

My secret theme for this tour is,

the sensation,
seized me!


I'm starting to change.


Thank you Sendai, as well as the North series.

From tomorrow we'll be tackling the South series!

I'll give those who came to the live the key that opens the door of memories.


I'm giving it to you!!!!!!!!

Today's picture is one of the Sapporo series!!!!!!!!!!

Those who came are probably telling themselves "it was from that time~",


and those who didn't come are using their imagination and saying "so that's what it looked like~".

To make those who weren't at the live feel as if they were there even if just a bit.


This is a picture taken by TSUCHIYA-san (Chief) you've probably already seen at the goods sales!!!!!!!


The quality of her pictures would put professionals to shame!!!!

Of course it's different from what everyone sees.

This was while we performed "Kochouran".

A lot of LIVE pictures were uploaded to the FC-only site so please check them out!!!!!

Usually, I choose which pictures will be uploaded on the FC site with Tsuchiya-san, but unfortunately, we only upload the pictures both Tsuchiya-san and I have chosen, so unfortunately some of them don't get chosen. But I'm uploading one of my favorite, cool pictures!!!!!!

The colors on Chief's pictures are pretty.

Niigata LOTS


Good job Niigata!!!!

Niigata LOTS is a livehouse were the scenery and the sound is quite good and it felt good even though there was a lot of people, so these were circumstances that made us quite enthusiastic!!

All of the members sweated like you wouldn't believe (laugh)

During lives recently, I feel that there is a bit of shyness and hesitation.

But as we're heading toward the second half of the tour, we're begining to break through and shine.

Since a lot of things were said carefully, I hope it's ok to say things recklessly? (laugh)



We also lost control as if we were going to destroy something from the begining.



But it's been that way ever since the first time we came to Niigata, we go crazy everytime.

It's a fateful place.


Until the day we come again, don't forget what happened last night!!!!!!


This is a picture of Nao-shi and I making a toast with uni.

It was extremely delicious.

After receiving the heat from Sapporo and Koriyama, we had a meeting to brush up a few more details.

Tomorrow in Niigata, we'll be even better!!

We'll reach those who're coming as well as those who aren't!!!

We'll show you how serious we are!!!


This is a picture of
timely Hiroto.
Also, just between you and me,
this parka is one of the tour goods.
