My last entry,
it's not uploaded!

Weird.

Anyway, not to worry.

Recently,
the recording process was lasting til midnight,
so for an early riser like me, it's been a hectic few days.

But finally I've been able to reset myself.
...or at least I felt like I was able to.

And finally, ever since I fell from the stairs in June,
the swell and hurt is less,
or it feels like it's lessening.
...eitherway, it's taking forever to recover!!
It's already 2 months.
I still can't wear my shoes from before.

(sigh)
I don't want to age. wither wither.
It's tough when the healing takes forever.

But even in this situation, I did well.

Anyway...
great songs are being born,
with the help of each player.
Can't wait to let you guys hear it.

from Onuki "master of jigsaw puzzles" Ami

Maintenance again, huh.
But it gave me a chance to re-read my entry about FUJI Q,
and update it,

Today I'm writing from the recording studio!

The loved, Kawanitwan is here too!
And today's Yunko is looking cute!
She's wearing a cutsew with gold pokka dots!

On the otherhand, I'm wearing a really cheap T-shirt that I bought in Taiwan!

Another day, working silently,
to move forward.

Can't stop eating corn on the cob.

It's already that season.

I also like Dadacha beans.

My friend will be sending me beans soon,

so I'm really looking forward to it.

We were recording.

After making the wonderful support wait several hours,

he recorded a great chorus for us.

Yusuke sensei, Thank you so much for today.

We were relying on him so much that you'd think PUFFY was a trio (LOL).

Sorry for all the trouble.

But, I know we'll continue to rely on you.

...why not just become a trio?

And then,

you can be in charge of all the MC.

we'll be ok even if it's all impersonations.

Yesterday was

a really great event.

Just shows that Fujifabric is a really great band.

The band members and Masahiko
are loved by so many people.

It was a day that made you re-confirm this fact.

The beautiful sunset,
the breeze flowing on the stage,
it was a really really wonderful vibe.

It definitely became an unforgettable memory for
the everyone performing and the crowd.

The fireworks at the end,
was a great way to start (...a little late?) the summer.

Backstage,
there were lots of people we knew,
and our staff was the same as Fujifabric so
it was a very homey atmosphere.

I saw Fumiya-san who I haven't seen in ages,
talked alot with Wada-kun who I hardly see but feels like I do,
and with Kururi's Kishida-kun, we compared who knew more about snacks.
(it was 50/50. Actually, it was a bragging competition...)

Everyone was having a great time and saying that
"All these gifted singers in one place...it hardly happens!"

It's ALLLL,
thanks to the cute young ones.

We're totally gonna continue to adore them.

Thanks so much for inviting us!

We will, do our best for Fujifabric anyday.

Machida, huh...

This day has finally come.

All I can do now is,
just do it!

But I wanna just hang out at the station.

I love Machida.

Everyone coming tonight,
tonight is Ami's night so whatever I do, forgive me.

I need you all to support me.

K,
See you in the pit!

Goodevening.
It's Ami, the PUFFY "that's spontaneous! but always a little too late".

Yesterday was Hitomi Kinen Kodo,
Thank you so much to everyone that came!!
Of course, Thank you to everyone that couldn't make it but was thinking about us... or better to say that sent us power!
As we mentioned at AX,
it wasn't the same right?!

We still have Machida and Neyagawa,
so I'm thinking I shouldn't reveal too much...but,
to the wonderful guests that came, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
And Sangenjaya, the gals were great!
Everyone was so happy and cute,
I was able to soak in some young power.
Just looking at them gave us energy.
We want to be like them. (not possible)

Thank you so much, everyone!

I leave the glittery stage,
and head straight home.
The glittery few minutes ago, where'd you go,
the next thing you know,
the little one is telling me what was bad (of course in a very kind way) and munching on snacks and drinking umeshu,
it was only the 2 hours that I was in the spotlight.

I thought someone would invite me...

And the next day, today,
the little who was full of energy, so
I went to a place that I didn't have to do much walking and
spent the whole day with her.

The little one was doing somersaults
and the headband's jagged inside
scrapped her scalp...
but she took off the headband and tried over & over again.
How lovely is that!

A note to all you out there,
after you pass your middle thirties be careful with injuries.
It takes forever to heal!!

Well, I'm almost recovered.

Anyway,
great job last night.

My heart's pounding.

I shouldn't be watching the EXILE program.

Gotta get some sleep!

But I wanna know...
"Kyoko Hamaguchi's secret info...I'll go to bed after I find out.

Everyone who's coming tomorrow,
Let's collect OP together.

OP is "Omoide Point (memory point)".

Oh, so excited.

Before I knew it Kurobe was over.

The traveling was actually longer but,
it was worth making all the connections!

Naka-nii was saying this too but,
on the way to Kurobe, I was totally refreshed by seeing
the many green landscapes and the Sea of Japan!

Definitely something you can't experience on a plane.

It reminded me of the family trips I used to go on when I was small,
the train stations and the sound of the bells,
it was very comforting.

And the people that came to the concert
were all just so friendly...

it almost made me cry.

Thank you very much!!

I wanna write about the Biwako Festival next time.

Yesterday was Namba Hatch!!
It was crazy, everyone!!

...this is also so Showa.

At the afterparty everyone was giving it to me.
"What was that! Ugh!...You did a great job".
Just kidding about being chewed out but
I was complimented.

So glad that everyone had such a good time...

Thank you so much!!

Thanks for showing me your Naniwa soul!←(this is probably what is usually said)

This morning my body wouldn't move the way I wanted it to!

What?
Is it, tennis elbow...?
Tennis elbow when I didn't even play tennis,
is it like that person being mentioned lately...?

Yesterday,
Nagoya has burnt me out.

And at the end I was ashes.

Thank you so much for
coming everyone!!

GDGD's MC
was so great it will become a great memory.
We were thrilled!

So,
today is Osaka Namba Hatch!!

Rehearsal is going well.

Let's make it a great night!!
