Today I finally finished writing the lyrics that has been the source of my anxiety, I also did some work that I was suppose to finish up, and watched "LAW&ORDER" that was piling up on my harddrive. I was able to get alot done. Slowly but surely, as long as you move forward I believe it will always connect to an outcome. Supposedly that also goes for human relationships. Negative. When the other end is a person, change can happen in a blink of an eye. Umm. What can I do to get my thoughts across. While I wonder like this, I see Untouchable's Zakiyama-san or Bla-Mayo's Kosugi-san on TV... and I feel comfort. Miho Kanno said the same thing. I'm gonna watch today's "Magerarenai Onna" tomorrow! Lately, it seems like the little one is troubled with some other people in school. I wanna tease her cause she's like a little grown up with people problems. But I listen to her seriously. As a parent, it's hard to figure out where to draw the line. But, she screams into her toy megaphone(with a re...

Yesterday was another day in the studio. What are they working on... in the booth, sitting on a sofa, all cozy... but for some reason totally sweating. What kind of song is this going to be...?

Animal! furry furry. Ami Yumi The weather is cold but then warm again and keeps changing. Don't catch a cold.

Thinking of another song title. Out of the many recordings we've done so far, this song will probably be the first that you guys will hear. Anyway, today was another day of meetings... of course about the fan club but also the tour. We've also been discussing Haracolle that will take place on March 21st. PUFFY has been invited to perform along with capsule, becky♪#, SHAKALABBITS. Candy Stripper will also have a special stage, "CUTiE" and "Zipper" magazine will have shows with lots of the popular models walking... it's gonna be an event full of fashion and music. http://haracolle.jp/ We hope to put on a very PUFFY-like show! If you're coming, let's have fun together!

Everyone Thank you for joining. As the leader of Gekidan Asesu, I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. We hope you continuously devote a lot of attention to us. and extend your generous patronage to us.

Finally

From tomorrow, the membership applications to become a premium member will start. How many people will become members... is what AmiYumi and the PUFFY team is worried about. "there's lots of membership privileges!" "no reason not to join!" "hey you there, are you interested in becoming a model?!" are some lines that I've come up with during this recording. In order to build up to our 15th anniversary, we're gonna start this fan club. Just to be on the safe side of not having enough members, I think I'm gonna tell all my relatives to join too (LOL). But...I never thought that I would be able to have a fan club, so I still feel like it's a prank played by the staff but if we're gonna make one, we're gonna go all the way to the 15th year. Being able to stand in front of everyone that has supported us is a little embarassing but at the same time builds the feeling of responsibilty... these are my thoughts 2 nights before. from the studio. In a way, sharing our happy times with you, and laughing toget...

membership

How fast, it's already the end of February. Tokyo is getting warmer, how is the rest of Japan? So, on Monday, March 1, we will start membership applications to become a premium member of the "Gekidan Asesu" fan club!!! To see how to apply go to the "FAN CLUB" section on the TOP page. (ONLY JAPANESE) ...So anyway, we'll let you know a few of the privileges you will get by becoming a "Gekidan Asesu" member. First plan, from Ami-san, "While shoping online, I clicked too many times and 2 of the same books arrived so I want to give one away" plan. Seems like she got 2 of a certain shojo manga, and there's also a jellyfish guidebook, squid and octopus guidebook. Of course, she will sign them. Second plan. "Let's have Yumi-san treat us" plan! During a meeting one day, Manager Toshi suddenly says "I came up with a great plan...how is "Yumi-san should treat someone"" Yumi-san was like "???" at first, but then she Okayed the idea. So we're gonna work on the details like where, who, how but don't worry w...

Last night, right before I was going to bed there was an unsent message saved in my phone. The title was "Midnight question". The content was "Women have maternal instinct but, I wonder if men have maternal instinct too?" That was the question. I wonder why I suddenly had such a question at midnight... Weird, huh. Anyway, my point is Do men get that feeling... not the "Aww, cute!!" feeling that you get when you look at a kid, but how your heart twinges when a women looks at a charming man (not just the looks). It's not fair cause men, young or old, all have that charm. So, while all that is going on inside my head, the tours that I love so much has been announced!!!!!! What's up with the tour title. Are you guys crazy? is what Asuka said or didn't say. Hahaha, it's the first "gekidan" tour, so forgive us. Such silly things can only be done by PUFFY so we're giving it our all! Since it's the first tour we do after forming Asesu, let's enjoy it to the fullest and asesu alot. Let's collect lots...

At recordings alot of new things are created. Like sea turtles, both Yumi-chan and I have tears in our eyes while we burst out laughing at Toshiko. Can't wait.

Another day singing. Anyway, we've made an announcement about another tour!!! Everyone who has become Premium "Gekidan Asesu" members have the priviledge to reserve the tickets in advance. And the way to become a premium member...is posted in the FAN CLUB section. (ONLY JAPANESE) We already have so many ideas for the tour. But of course, cause it's the "Gekidan Asesu" show. We'll be preparing the Ami Onuki segment and Yumi Yoshimura segment. How can it not be a great tour. It'll be the first Fan club tour but even if you're not a "Asesu" member you can definitely come have fun with us! We're so excited for the summer.

Yesterday was an early start for a shoot... can't tell you what, yet. Unfortunately, Yoshimura-san dropped what she was working on so I couldn't get a photo of her. But here is Onuki-san... It was such a cold day but the shoot went very smoothly.

YO! YO! SAY HO! Is this the new HIP HOP trio???(LOL) ...the woman in the middle is Miki-T, our stylist. For some reason everyone was wearing black today. Even Manager Toshi and I...it was such a black day. Anyway, today was a full day of meetings for the P team and it's gonna start getting busier for us... We'll be able to announce what's going on soon!

1st song

2010-02-09T06:41:05Z

Here's Yumi concentrating at the recording on Sunday. With this song, we were very conscious about the "sound". And yesterday the mixing started... so the recording for the 1st song of this series is over!! Wow, what a great song & track. It turned out great so I can't wait for everyone to listen to it!

It's winter so Kamemaru is really slow. It's a turtle that belongs in the warm atmosphere. Komatsuna leaves... it only eats it when it's awake. Oh, but that's normal (LOL) Just like a kitten or a doggy, it's not as if the turtle will come saying "Hey, pet me!!", all it does is sleep... How lonely, Kamemaru-san. is what I say, while look at Kamemaru's behind and work on my lyrics. For some reason, the shell covering the behind is so shiny. The features are so round! But when you touch it, it's tough. Not, very attractive. BTW, umm...is it...a he? or a she?

In the studio

2010-02-05T23:03:06Z

In the studio today, there are instruments like this... People playing the tambourine... Roadies are strong as always... Ami's feet...knitted UGG's so it's actually not that warm. Anyway, from a recording site like this great music is being created!

Recording

2010-02-05T06:00:15Z
