We'll be touring Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo.

We're about to do the final rehearsals.I'll be joining rehearsal from tomorrow. Starting today I'm living in a hotel. It'll be the first time for me to stay this long in the same hotel room. Not that any of you care. Sorry.

We can't help the rain, but I do hope we have good weather for our shows.

July is almost here.

Hope you're looking forward to the shows! We'll be waiting.

Hello.

We've gone over 1,500 miles now.
Our June tour was over in a flash.
Thank you so much to everyone who came out to see us in Osaka, Nagoya and Sendai, and to all the staff members. We got through our four hour ferry trip, and the five hours to Hakodate, and really enjoyed Hokkaido. The show the next day really rocked. We're so thankful for everyone who came out to all the places we don't usually get to visit.

And of course, thanks as always to the Oreska staff.

Hello

Recording is over and now we're going into concert mode.

We've been through Osaka, Nagoya and Sendai, and arrived in Aomori.

Now we're on a boat, heading towards Sapporo.

It's Oreska's first ferry ride.

The girls are ecstatic over the great weather and clear views. (LOL)

Oh, it looks like we're leaving now.

Let's meet in Sapporo!

Hello.

I feel like we were just in Kyushu, but it's already June.

It's been a while. The band starts recording today, in between their shows. Regardless of the time, they're all really serious.

Please look forward to it.

After it's done, they'll go to Osaka, Nagoya, Sendai, and even to Sapporo. So much touring!

Don't miss us!

Only five more days until 4/28.

The temperature has been changing drastically lately. How have you all been?

Hayami, formerly known as Leader, and Tae-san have been going to so many places lately.

We've got plans to visit other areas, so please look forward to that.

If you've got any recommendations for food or places to visit in your town, let us know, and we'll try to check them out.

In this season of cherry blossoms, Hayami, formerly known as Leader, and Tae-san went on a campaign to Kyushu! Nagasaki to Fukuoka to Kumamoto. Through chilly weather and hot, we went up and down hills, we ate ramen and were moved by chawan mushi (a savory egg custard dish), we walked through long arcades, were shocked by the cheap lunched we found...The Kyushu Campaign was a lot of fun.

Next we'll come to Kyushu for a tour in May. Please come and see us!

But first, please by 'Jitensha' when it comes out on 4/28!

Hello.

Now the only stop left on Oreska's national Spring tour is Kyoto.
We've driven over 5,000 miles since the tour began in February. You usually hear about people who drove 15,000 miles in a year, but I've never driven so much before myself.

Both the band and the staff is so pleased to have been able to go to your town.

We should be back soon, so please bring your friends and come to rock with us.

Next up, Kyoto.

We'll still make it. Wait for us!

Hello. How are you all? It's very spring like now.

We're finally on the last part of the cross-country tour! After Hiroshima on the 20th, we go through the Chugoku and Shikoku areas and end with Kyoto on the 28th.

It's felt like a long time and a short time. Oreska have really powwered up.

The girls filmed a music video during a break in the middle of the the tour.
They met up at 6:30 AM and weren't finished until after 7 PM that night. Good work, girls!

I hope all you fans will look forward to seeing the finished video.

Enjoy your fun Spring days!

Hey.

Good evening.

It's already March.

We traveled from north all the way to the south in February, which made the time fly by.

So what does the 5600 in the entry title mean? It's the distance the Oreska Van has traveled so far on this cross country tour. What an amazing distance!

Now that the leg with Motion City Soundtrack is over, we've got the last half of the tour. Chugoku and Shikoku, thanks for waiting! And you two, Kobe and Kyoto.

We'll see you when the cherry blossoms are blooming.

I wonder how many kilometers we'll have racked up by then?

III

It's March.

How are you all doing!?

Today is Kanazawa. When we first planned this cross-country tour, I thought it would be in the dead of winter, but I've been surprised at how little snow there's been.

I'm sure less snow is a good thing for the people who have to live with it, but if it's really because of global warming, that's too bad.

We're finally at the turning point for the tour.

This marks the end of Tohoku and Hokuriku. But hopefully we'll be able to come back soon.

Now we've got the last half to go!

And then April will be here before we know it.

It's so fast
