She Sang for Me

I'm the STAFF.

Excuse me for mentioning something private, but today's my birthday!
Well, I've signed myself as STAFF, so even though I say something private, nobody will know who I am...

But please let me say it!
I happened to be with Ban-chan because of work, and when the 7th of May came, Ban-chan said the words "Happy Birthday" before anyone else!

Even earlier than my family and friends!

She even sang me a Happy Birthday song!

Ban-chan and I have been fairly close (well, that's only normal as I'm the STAFF), but I never thought she'd sing a song for me. I felt so happy!

"Why are you still at office on your birthday?"
"Go home early today"
my colleagues all told me.

Anyway, the new single which will be out in June has recorded songs that reflects Ban-chan's kindness. Please do listen to it! (*music note*)

I've came across some good music (*music note*)
I listen to them when I wanted to relax.

Sunday. Being jolted on the train, I went to the sea.
Kamakura (A city within Kanaga Prefecture, south of Tokyo).
There were lots of people and cars. Well, though I'm one of them.

I was healed by the chatting and laughter with friends, by the scenery, the wind, the sunlight, the people, and also the sound of the waves. It was very refreshing.

Might so surfing again. But it's so scary.
Although I can swim, the sea looks scary.
Nature's my friend. I grew up in the mountain, so I'm fine with bugs and grass and mountain paths. I respect those who could surf well.
That's so skillful, to be able to surf in such waves! (note: I think I missed something here)

I was a perfect holiday, to be able to spend such happy hours with my most beloved people.

Thank you (*star*)

See you next time.

A few days ago was the Osaka Nanba live event.
Aoyama Thelma (note: OMG I love her new album "DAIRY"), SUMURUUSU and Chicago Poodle were also there.
Although I've been a little worried - it's been a while since I've had a live show in Osaka, people in Osaka sang with me warmly, and the live ended successfully.

iya~, it's always good to have live shows. Every time I see the audience grow lively, all feelings of tiredness are blown away!!!

I think we might still have lives in Osaka, please continue to support us m(__)m

Thank you for letting us have this in-store live show.
The male audience seemed to be bigger than before. (note: because you're too pretty, ban-chan)

Thank you Tower Records for specially giving space for our show.

Although I still thank Yamano Music Store for letting us have a live show there, the atmosphere here in this different location is quite different.

I'm so happy to have a live show here in this fresh new atmosphere!

I hope we could still have live shows surrounded by supporters.

Thank you the staff from Tower Records, and all staff members who helped us!

Next live show will be in Osaka Nanba's Hatch. There'll be other artists performing in the show too, so please check the details before you come!!

(A message from) the staff.

Yesterday at Ameba Studio in Harajuku we had an open live broadcast.

Perhaps because the place is Harajuku, relatively more female came to see, and the working atmosphere was quite different from normal radio broadcasts.

The personality (emcee) were Hikichi and Shiroishi from RAG FAIR.
Both of them are cheerful, and the broadcast remained high-spirited throughout.

And of course, we would like to thank the staff from Ameba Studio, and helpers who stood in the cold in front of the studio to maintain the traffic (crowd?).
