■KANSAI ROCK SUMMIT’14 EXPLOSION CIRCUIT 

KANSAI ROCK SUMMIT’14 EXPLOSION CIRCUIT

On the 26^th there was「KANSAI ROCK SUMMIT’14 EXPLOSION CIRCUIT」!

Lately we’re traveling almost among the whole country back and forth(laughs)

In the schedule, which started in March we dropped by here too.

Because I think that people, who didn’t take part in this event may ask

And what’s that 「KANSAI ROCK SUMMIT」? If you watch this ↓ time table you’ll fairly understand it.

The point is that it’s like “Shibuya is great”, “Naniwa is great”! (laughs)

The place of Jupiter’s performance was OSAKA MUSE.

Because we could enter the hall only 2 hours before the performance, we’re getting ready from 9 a.m. (laughs)

Fast kick-off to the OSAKA MUSE！！ε=┏( ・_・)┛

I’m glad I could meet the manager after couple of years!

Because we kept performing in OSAKA MUSE without meeting him all the time.

He haven’t lost his energetic attitude, as I might have expected(laughs)

See you next time!

We’ve been in dressing room with members of Lycaon and Lin-san, so I calmed a bit☆

I can’t wait for the coupling tour with Lin-san！！( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Moreover, I met Kosuke-kun from DEATHGAZE, whom I didn’t see hella-long~! Probably since Crimson Head?(laughs)

And also talked a bit with TATSUYA-san☆

It seemed to be hard travelling back and forth to each club!(>_<)

Ok, so let’s go!!

And the performance!

It was striking performance without rehearsal, so we’re ready,

But the monitor environment on the stage surpassed my imagination…( ；´Д｀)

Performance bursts open with 「Blessing of the Future」!

Later on to「-己-Innovation」. Because monitors were chaotic, I also might have been chaotic…

During “HELLO” greeting tension rose, so even I answered, but

Since I’ve been speaking to my microphone, I didn’t realize if you’re speaking too or not(laughs)

3^rd song was 「LAST MOMENT」. And next one was 「Azalea」, which had her LIVE debut!!

Because by saying “first” I mean, both band and you keep exploring it more and more

But I think that we can evolve furi and hook points(>_<)… Expect something next time!(laughs)

Immediately after 「Azalea」 finished, time for our usual voivoi. Usually I lose my voice after this(laughs)

And 「Scarlet」！Since I’ve been excited, that day TERU’s-kick was angel sent twice.

Last one was 「Symmetry Breaking」, closing performance violently.

OSAKA MUSE’s stage and hall’s structure seems hard to make good LIVEs,

But this time I didn’t feel it at all, for which I’m happy!

But fence could have been closer...

I enjoyed seeing your faces from stage.

I can’t wait for the one-man, since I saw the outcomes of the tour!!

「KANSAI ROCK SUMMIT’14 EXPLOSION CIRCUIT」

Was planned to be the biggest event organized by TATSUYA-san, who help me a lot since long time ago.

It has been prepared since the last year’s summer and its realization seemed to be really hard.

I’m glad it was successful. I’ll be happy if it will help in reactivation of the stage.

Good job & thanks

To everyone who participated in this event and who came to see it!

Too bad we couldn’t join the after party and right after the event we went to Tokyo.

In way back I ate takoyaki from the same restaurant I mentioned in yesterday’s blog☆

It has the ultimate salty taste from Ame-mura „Takoyaki shirangana!!” ☆

Extremely tasty!!

See ya(。・_・。)/☆

Evening！(。・_・。)/☆

「LOUD & METAL ATTACK」5/24(Sat) Tokyo Shinkiba STUDIO COAST

I’m posting Jupiter comment video also here!

(find subtitles here→ CLICK) 

On this event we will play together with metal bands from other countries!

It means that it’s a moment, when one of my dreams will come true.

I’m fully aware of that we’re away, so I want to stand on stage impressive and not hesitant.

Show off the Japanese spirit!!

And I want you all to come and support us.

Many of you may be not familiar with metal events, so this will be good introduction for you.

Because previous Finland Festivals were also hot!!

Please, check it by all means.

■「stylish wave EXTRA '14 ❝乱一夜❞」@Shibuya O-EAST

stylish wave EXTRA '14 ❝乱一夜❞

2014/4/20(sun) Shibuya O-EAST

I will upload report-like thing about 「stylish wave EXTRA '14 ❝乱一夜❞」(>_<)

It was the grand finale of 「stylish wave CIRCUIT ’14 春の嵐」, which had performances in 16 places.

We entered, got ready… it started the same as always,

But before the rehearsal I hurt my knee slipping from stairs.

Ouch, is that for real?

It hurt so much that I really stopped breathing…( ；´Д｀)

Luckily it had no effect on the performance, but sometimes it does(laughs)

Speaking of which, during first performance of Jupiter I also fell from the stairs and pulled the muscle~ (^_^;

Dear, dear, I need to watch out…!!

This is what happened, but after getting my things together,

I made my usual two-shot rally!

With yo-ka-san from DIAURA☆

We had different dressing rooms, so shamelessly entering there just before the performance, I took the photo☆

After seeing their LIVE I must say, they’re awesome!!

With kei-san also from DIAURA☆

He looks so cool, because of his war-like outfit!

Because we’re users of the same ENGL, I want to speak with him more☆(´∀｀)

With JUN-kun from GOTCHAROCKA☆

We knew each other for a long time, but it’s first time when we did such photo☆

We were sharing the same dressing room and since we were still running funny conversation, it made me laugh a lot(laughs)

I’m being poked by Kouki-kun and Rui-kun(laughs)

New fully red outfits are cool! And enamel looks hot(laughs)

I’m glad we toured together around all places☆

With Haru-kun from Grieva☆

I want him to refer by all means to theory manuals, which I recommended him some time ago(laughs)

With Mashi☆

Since he had red accessories in his hair, I feel he matches well to the photo above(laughs)

With Chobi-kun from DIV☆

I make photos almost only to tai-ban members(laughs)I’m glad we could become friends( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Performance!!

Your call reached us strongly in SE! Thank you!

We burst with 「Blessing of the Future」

Personally I think that starting with 「Blessing of the Future」 makes it a certain victory.

It was great to play there, because ceiling was high and stage was wide.

Next was 「-己-Innovation」!

Head-banging, fist push-ups, jump and towels, it was exciting, but I’m happy that it’s slowly getting more popular.

Those, who joined the events, take the initiative also during one-man tour. I’m seeing it~!

Cutting the MC, 「Last Moment」.

It seems that B melody jump also gets more popular. Well then!

Last was 「Symmetry Breaking」.

It was something new for me, because I played guitar solo in the center of the stage, side by side with ZIN-sama.

Speaking of which, surprisingly during the LIVE my make-up slipped off(laughs)

In other words, that hot LIVE we made!

Ah, we’re growing.

Moreover that day, SUGIZO-san came to see Jupiter,

So in this meaning, we were properly excited.

Being moderately stressed, we could play well and make good performance.

We also heard appreciation words, because of which I’m happy!

Thank you very much!!

At the end of the event, all bands

Threw sweets from second floor, which was surprise manifesting our strength!!(laughs)

But I had no idea what to think of it since we started…!!←

Nah~ I’m sorry, it was thrown from a great height(･_･;

But it was fun! Were you able to get it??

The event has been ended as a great success.

Later with bands performing there we had small party in EAST

I’m glad that I could drink together with brothers-in-arms, who joined the event (of course I was drinking cola laughs)

I want to say good job to all performing bands, to the staff, to Hoshiko-san.

And thank you everyone, who came to see us.

In other words 「stylish wave」

Casts bodies into the storm

It sheds light on facing different aspects of „self”

I was able to see myself, of which I haven’t been aware.

I thought “I could do something without knowing myself”.

I examined myself once more, I again saw important things and path which I should follow.

Taking the advantage of this earned feel, I want fully strengthen

And make one more step forward.

But there still left settled 「stylish wave」performances!

「stylish wave NEXT GENERATION VOL.1 - 次代を翔ける若武者たち -」

5/31 (Sat)TSUTAYA O-EAST

and

「stylish wave MAX '14 “一撃乱舞”」

8/17 (Sun) TSUTAYA O-EAST

Let’s inflame visual scene more and more!!

Thank you very much！(。・_・。)/☆

■TERU & MASASHI Birthday Event「Perform a Ceremony vol.2」

TERU & MASASHI Birthday Event

「Perform a Ceremony vol.2」

- Spring Banquet with Jupiter -

4/18 (Fri) Shibuya gee-ge.

I will upload something in shape of the report from my and MASASHI-kun’s birthday event!

As usual, I felt creepy to be the one, because of who everyone celebrated(laughs)

Thank you for so numerous coming.

This time (quite late but), because it’s the season of beginning a school year, we were in student’s outfits!

The day before we had a meeting about the outfits, just before the performance it got short-run remodeling!! Nope, when it comes to time it was “very short time”(laughs)

Remodeling school uniform to look more adult(laughs) Obviously school uniforms are a short run, right!?

I prepared this red shirt and loafers in advance. It was a dress code of sagging pants mixed with wallet chain and white belt~ I somehow think that among all members I put the most enthusiasm into it(laughs)

Speaking of which, at the handshake event everyone was like “Are you ok?”, but the plaster I had on my face was fake, put there to look more ‘naughty’(laughs)

With ZIN-sama☆

We decided “let’s be badass”, but seems like only one of us was serious about it(laughs)

Two leading roles☆

That day’s Mashi was serious and looking like minding only his own business! I’d be scared if I had such senpai(laughs)

Leader of the female gang? With HIZAKI-san in sailor jacket☆

We look somehow like a couple(laughs)

This time, Masaki-kun from This is a PEN. played piano for us☆

Even though he’s professional drummer(laughs) Thank you very much!!

Here’s the band of Masaki-kun→This is a PEN. HP

DOORS OPEN!!

When everyone were coming in, there was a surprise prepared – members were greeting everyone and shaking their hands!

On this kind of events there are more than on normal LIVEs situations, which can put you on guard, so in positive meaning there also was feeling of tension, right? ☆

And event started!

We appeared on stage, while ZIN-sama was heating you up during SE, like always!

Though in the dressing room deep in mind we thought that “it’s acoustic live, let’s overkill it!”(laughs)

1.「Atmosphere」

2.「Nostalgie」

3.「Rose of Mary」

4.「forever with you」

5.「Everlasting Dream」(HIZAKI & ZIN)

6.「Luminous」(ZIN & Masaki)

After light MC we moved further on chill~(>_<)

Because last time on HIZAKI & YUKI BD event there was quite heavy atmosphere… (laughs), and I think that this time we created homey feeling☆

We rearranged 「Atmosphere」 so much that it sounded like a different song in comparison to earlier arrangement (laughs)

B melody was arranged more like bossa nova and I like it because it sounds more adulty( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ [“adulty” is a Japanese created word in fact. It refers rather to ‘for adults’]

「Nostalgie」’s intro was also different, so maybe it was the most stressing for me!

New song? 「Rose of Mary」 has positive, bright atmosphere!

I’m glad I could hear your voices in「forever with you」☆

After 4 songs were ended, TERU, MASASHI, YUKI graduated(laughs),

But HIZAKI-san and ZIN-sama performed acoustic arrangement of 「Everlasting Dream」.

We haven’t played that song for sooo long! It’s a song from HIZAKI grace project times, really nostalgic feeling～( ´ ▽ ` )

But I thought again, it’s a good song!

Last song was performed by ZIN-sama and Masaki-kun 「Luminous」.

With only piano and vocal arrangement it’s a beautiful song!

In second half of the event, we played BINGO for rare private items of the members!

From me, it was horse kigurumi, which I wore at the beginning of the year and the key-holder which I bought during European tour☆ People, who won it, keep it dear～( ´ ▽ ` )

After BINGO tournament, birthday cakes surprise!!

Because after the event in Nagoya I was given takoyaki surprise, I thought this time I won’t get anything, so I was surprised!

Moreover, those cakes were baked by HIZAKI-san with his own hands!! He doesn’t lack girl powers either (laughs) I felt the love of members(´∀｀)

Later there was a second handshake meeting this day☆

I’m glad we could peacefully talk☆

Thank you for your wishes and presents!! I’m really thankful!!

Birthday cake which we were given by fans☆I was surprised that there is mine and Mashi’s photo printed(?) in white chocolate! Cake was of course delicious, but so were those dragon fruits around it☆ Thanks!

Enormous flowers, which we received!!

There was also electric illuminations attached so it was awesomely gorgeous!! Thank you very much!

Bonus☆

Rare cheki☆It was left behind by Mashi, who wore it earlier, so I tried it(laughs)

Rare cheki 2, kindergarten cosplay(laughs)

My aspiration for this year is to make it a challenge for me.

Because when to look back at previous year, it was a year of “inheritance” for me.

I want to make bigger progress, smashing all the stereotypes inside of me.

I always think of wishes I get on my birthday,

But birthday is only one of the milestones, so I don’t want to get congratulations only on that day

I want to be proud of every moment, which I live.

It’s not beautifully said, but I want to say my congratulations to everyone

Who is living the same time!

Congratulations to live in the present time. And I want you to cherish this moment.

Well, it may sound weird(laughs)

But congratulations everyone! And thank you very much!!
