Really really really late Miyabi desu~!

It's so late in the day, yet just now I'm posting. Right at the end of the month. Maybe I shouldn't cut it so close?

I think this is a good call for today: "MADAYADE~!"

'Not yet'... it's good, isn't it? Since it seems like fall is just running away. Two of out pv's went out the other day. Did you see them? "Rottara Rottara" for Buono! and "MADAYADE" for Berryz Koubou~ Plus the tour and other things, like recording performances. I feel busy. (^.~)

Does anyone want to see either of them? Here's "Rottara Rottara", which is really catchy. (^.^;) But that's just me, of course~ "MADAYADE" is different~ but it's like a surfer song. (^.~)v No one is going to the beach anymore, though.

As a sidenote~ I like the pink in my dress. It reminds me of starburst. The best ones are the pink ones~ <3

How has everyone been lately~?

Hello.

The sun rises later with the season.

Do people like that part of autumn?

I don't.

Lately, it happened to Sayumi again that she wandered into the washroom quite uncaringly and encountered her sister in there failing to lock the doors again~... I really don't know what it is about the women of our house but it makes me wonder what she'd ever be like if she got married~

Is not locking doors the next step to not shutting the doors~? What about the blinds~? Is there an extreme nudeist being bought up right under my nose~?! That would be terrible for family meals in the future, to have to sit and look at it all over your meal~

This month, Sayumi is grateful for clothing~! I think there needs to be a greater appreciation of these wonderful things that stop you from chilling and stop other people from backing off very quickly~ it's not even a step away slowly situation with a flasher~!

My eyes, run~! Run~!

Please everybody, if you're not a baby, remember to keep it all covered at all times~. <3 Thank you~!

Did any of you happen to see the coverage of this on Asahi TV news?

A recent survey of Japanese women between the ages of 15 and 22 found that 22.3% wanted to become hostesses. [...] from an Asahi TV news report showing that “hostess” far outranked “government worker” as a dream job. The reason for this is not surprising - successful hostesses can make a lot of money. The same news report cited statistics showing that the average hourly pay of a hostess is 4000 yen, more than doubled the 1200 yen hourly average paid to female officer workers. If one is lucky enough to become a popular hostess, daily pay can rise to hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

The #1 job that demographic wanted was to be a musician. Maa, sometimes it's hard to remember we're lucky, hehe. I'm really looking forward to being overwhelmed with that feeling when our tour starts soon.

But wow. Who knew? It was interesting to me, in a sad way. We all know that sex sells but it's unfortunate that girls have that idea as their star in the sky, their way up in the world. I don't know much about hostess clubs firsthand, so they may be nice and respectable places, but I wouldn't want my daughter there.

Maa, it may sound like an old man concern but we all have to take care of our culture in the way that we all have to take care of our planet.

Okay, pass me back my cane. I know already--even my mother wasn't interested in this report.

You are now approaching AMRP.

On your left you will see a disclaimer. To the top, in glorious mud brown green, you will see a selection of links set to a beige backdrop. There were placed there by the ancient indian tribesmen.

Most striking, is the logo, an array of colour against the muted tones, suggesting unity.

Now I pass you to my friend. Who will janken with you all for a few signed photos.

Bus tour! It is today.

I do a good job, don't I?

... When did it get to be October?

I was grossly misinformed.

People, let's do something.



Jya-jya-jya-jyaan.
Ryo chan, you look like the American flag.

What was that? I thought I heard a cricket. Oh, it's just Gaki-san. ^.^

We've been on tour for a little while now~ tours are fun, aren't they? it would be really neat to have a big gigantic tour with like everyone we know singing everyone else's songs.

Like, Nishikido-san and Shige-san singing Rainbow Pink. ^^; Ah, maybe not.

It was cold this morning~ I walked outside without a coat by accident and ran back to get one. I was really spacey this morning...

Speaking of spacey, I just found a pen I didn't know was in my bag! ^.^v Lucky~~~~

Is anyone else touring soon? I'd like to go see some good shows when I get the chance!

What is everyone up to, quiet strangers?

This progeny of the Kato family, sometimes-beloved of his parents, has logically persuaded said parents that they needed a relaxing vacation with family in Hiroshima... far, far away from him and their house. So this certain fine and illustrious man--who pretends at grandeur--has taken it upon himself to see if any other fine and illustrious people would like to come and help him out on his current task of ordering a weekend's worth of pizza and chicken delivery and systematically, doggedly beating every single one of his father's race scores at Mario Kart. Seriously, maa, who teaches these old dogs new tricks? It has to stop.

And because, if you have not heard, Johnnys are habitually bad influences, there will be drinking. If you don't believe me on the bad influence part then maybe you should give me a chance to prove you wrong. It is a celebration; if not for my likely-horrible-by-comparison Mario Kart scores then for our NEWS' new single that's now out for pick-up. I don't feel it needs promotion here, hehe, but you all really should learn a copy because... Ne, it would be really awesome if people would sing it along with us next month when NEWS turns 5.

Anyone is welcome; I don't have so many friends available that we would fill even my living room couches, hehe. Ah, I sabotaged my own cool moment... Really, though, it's been a while since I've seen some of you. Call me Friday night -- I'll be in situ, couchside, from about 8pm [[ est ]] onward. I'm going to enjoy this as a vacation, even if the echo of Shigemama's voice never truly leaves the halls of this house...

[[ A better time? Give it to me. Usually if I don't specify one we all just talk about it and never actually do it... ;D ]]

Recently we got to cover the old German song 'Genghis Khan', and Berryz-ified it to make it really cute and catchy! We were all surprised to hear that there was going to be a remix, but we didn't think there was going to be a PV for it too.

The remix is our version mixed with the old 1970's German version of the song. It's really cool! I even get a remix duet with the original German guy. (^.^)v

There are a few weird things in it, but it's one of those things that you have to watch before you really know. We weren't even expecting this one, so prepare to be surprised!

[[Sorry, but as a sidenote, if you have issues with flashing lights and twitchy screens, you may not want to watch this. Just a precaution~ <3 Don't want anyone getting hurt or anything! <3]]

( Jin-Jin-Jingisu Khan! )

Hello everyone~! How de do~? <3

Sayu's trying hard to think of something else to make this more interesting~ well there could be many things couldn't there~. Our tour starts this weekend, the new single has been released and I'm mainly here to tell you all that my PB comes out today ^_^ Or am I...well I am but it's mostly an excuse to say something because I'm not sure what I even what to say just that I do~...

( Here~~ )

Beyond that~ the weather is getting more gloomy isn't it~? Autumn has that feeling of death about it, but it all means things can die so more can grow again come spring right~? I have a feeling it's going to be a very cold winter so everyone should learn how to knit mufflers or make sure you know how to buy them from stores <3 Sayumi will be layering herself up soon to deal with the freeze with her store bought versions~ if my head doesn't peak over the top, well maybe that's a good thing. At least I got to enjoy the warmth of Guam~! Everyone else, enjoy the comfort of a hand made muffler~. I don't think you really appreciate them until you have to make do with a mass produced thingy~.

Thank you for your time and custom~ <3

Happy birthday red rover.

I've had enough for the night. But you. Really live it up.

Oi, Uchi. When is whatever you were planning for yours? Slacker, seriously.

Everyone else, let's find some helium balloons.

Apparently today is talk like a pirate day.

Yar. Plunder ye treasure chests?

Or I'll give you the jolly...roger.

I do not know. This captain cannot talk pirate. She leaves it up to her crew.

Now drink up me hearties, yo ho!

That is one useful piece of pirate. Someone teach me some more. Quick.

Here are two quick thought fragments I've had in the last day:

Words unpolished, unedited are sometimes more worthwhile and more necessary than a finished thought, regardless of the discomfort in releasing that kind of rawness. On top of that, words cannot always replace actions. This all is common sense but a part of common sense I need to congregate with more often.

"If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was and always will be yours. If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with."

You recognize the adage, right? It's commonly enough said and so old that the original source is uncredited. What I wonder though is whether it stays around because it's a universal truth or if sayings like this are just easier to have handy than giving a thorough explanation each time the subject comes up. Frankly, I'm leaning toward the first but things like this--commonly accepted and repeated ideas--I try to make a conscious effort to think through when I recognize them.

What do you all think?

I had to beat Sayu for this, at least! ^.^v

Our new single's PV is out! Everyone should watch it if you have the time~ <3 It's different from our last few. This is one of those songs that gets stuck in your head, even after hearing it all day and practicing and everything. My parents remember the original, so they've been singing it too. I'm trying to teach them at least how to sing the right notes, but it's~ a work-in-progress, ne? ^^;

Clockwise or counter-clockwise?

Today in 1945, Mike the Headless Chicken was decapitated. He survived for another 18 months.

It was his lucky day too. Happy birthday♥

When do you want your barbeque? Yakitori sounds delicious.

It's true. They get it right some times.

So who wants to buy me a beer?

You are reading this.

What else are you doing right now?

Everything. Really think about it.

Sayumi is following a great number of people who now in their spare time are armchair Olympians~! Watching everyone work so hard in itself works up a sweat don't you think~? Especially that swimming man who keeps breaking all the records and winning all medals~? Isn't that amazing~! It's like he's been born under water with fins and gills and maybe he's a merman in disguise~? ^o^ It's the only explanation~!

But has everyone seen what he eats~? Look, look at this amazing breakfast~

Three fried egg sandwiches; cheese; tomatoes; lettuce; fried onions; mayonnaise; three chocolate-chip pancakes; five-egg omelette; three sugar-coated slices of French toast; bowl of grits; two cups of coffee.

Now Sayumi doesn't have a clue what this grits stuff is, but doesn't the rest sound absolutely delicious~! If I can have just a third of this diet, maybe I will become as fast and amazing as him~!

Waiter~! Sayumi would like three chocolate-chip pancakes, three sugar coated slices of french toast and two cups of coffee please~! ^___^ It's for training, honest! I am going to go on an olympic diet *_*

How is everyone? It's warm, isn't it? Summer always seems to be this way~ ^.^

Remember to keep cool and hydrated~

Ehe~ that makes me sound like a doctor or a teacher or something~ But really, how is everyone? Not too busy, I hope~ 

Post-apocalyptic. It's like Mad Max.

There is something cool and tragic about that feeling.

Starting from zero means there is no chance to not have progress unless you lay down and die.

As long as you can stop living the past. People being strong together and making things better.

This has stuck with me from the bomb museum.

Make love not war. That is a good way to be.

Hello again. This is Nishikido Ryo of Kanjani8 and News. #ryo likes rice

O.K.

I really like this song.

This is stupid. Hello.

1. People have expressed the desire to have AMRP stay open; the community will indeed stay open.
2. The rules have been rewritten, mostly just to simplify things.
3. This flipside has been shut down. It's rather pointless, isn't it? If anyone needs to make a drop or hiatus, it should be done in the community. The modbot could of course be contacted as well.

I believe that's it? Have fun, everyone.

Hello! I was told there's a lack of rockers in here, and I've come to try and fix that. （笑）　

My name is 鈴木亮 (Suzuki Akira) but I am known as れいた (Reita) to most. I play bass with the Japanese rock band the GazettE.
