「The beasts on the covers give the books a nice feel, right?」
Due to strange circumstances, I’m currently reading Osamu Tezuka’s “Buddha”. I’ve already read it who knows how many times, but it’s still interesting. Whether it’s sad things or painful things, happy things or fun things, there’s no stopping whatever’s coming our way. The release date of VAMPIRE is one of those things. We can’t stop any of it. As I was thinking “won’t it come out already～”, I realized its release is next week already. It’s approaching.
Yesterday before our rehearsal at the studio, I headed to the convenience store to buy things. Since I had some time to spare, I was reading there while standing when suddenly “Living Dying Message” came on. Since I go there pretty much daily, you’d think I’d have noticed the change in the rotation of songs. So, since I’m not at all accustomed to hearing our songs like that, I was caught completely off-guard (I wonder just how someone can get “used to” something like that) and so I just stood there astonished for a while. “Ahaha, I know this song. Wait, the man next to me reading Shounen Magazine, there’s no way he knows it’s me singing, right? He wouldn’t think it’s this guy frilly-headed guy next to him, reading Morning (I read a soccer manga called GIANT KILLING first. Unfortunately, I know nothing about soccer, but I do like the manga), right? Nhahaha.” That’s my easygoing way of getting excited as we’re getting closer to our upcoming release. Tomorrow we’re doing an open to the public live radio broadcast, so we’ll be going to Spainzaka in Shibuya. People around the area, please come and see 9mm behind the thick glass. Hey! You can’t give them food! And of course those of you who can’t come, do listen in, too～.

「”I want to see, I want to hear…”」
As I was eating out today, I was watching the TV inside the restaurant and saw Moto Fuyuki growing a beard. Oh, that’s all for that topic. Nothing more I have to say on that. Sorry about that. Now then, as for that cold I caught the other day, it’s kind of continued for several days now in the form of a slight fever and my head spacing out. I feel like I’d rather have had a high fever for two days or so as then I might’ve had this over with faster. I want to get better soon. My nose just keeps running. Bleh～ …………………………………………………………… …………………………… huh! Sorry, I spaced out. I was thinking of having “7 Days of Not Getting Better“¹ as the title of the first post I make after getting better. Sorry. Everyone, take care to not catch a cold, too. Later.
¹ “Yamiagarenai 7 Days“. Possible reference to the song “Katatsukenai 7 Days” (“7 Days of Not Cleaning Up“) by Group Tamashii?

「It came」
Autumn is here! Not really so much when waking up in the morning, rather, it crept up on us when we were sleeping. And so, I immediately went and caught a cold, even though I didn’t get sick once during our rough summer schedule. Actually, I’ve held out ever since the beginning of the year… But I have to say, I’m kind of proud of my body and its timing for getting sick — before Akatsuki no Yaon with no other shows in sight. This is definitely a sign from my body that I need to take it easy for a while. “Alright, alright, gotcha, you’re right, let’s go with what you say for once then” is what I’d normally be saying, but it’s not gonna happen! I was invited to attend a show tomorrow! So, I’ll be taking a warm bath and immediately going to sleep in order to heal myself. Also, I didn’t really have anything to prevent it from getting worse but as it just so happens, my mouthwash had run out so I went and bought a new one today (picture). I haven’t used it yet but just opening the package, it smells like the real deal. I have a really good feeling about it. If you’re thinking of buying mouthwash, I definitely recommend this one. Even though I haven’t used it yet. With that, later.

↑ Kazuhiko’s having a break with Red Bull～.
↑ While on break, Taki, not a fan of letting anything go to waste, removed the oil from an aburatorigami and made it into a paper crane.
But, due to the remaining oil… it’s getting squashed.
↑ A better view of the squashed paper crane!

「So what does the “R” stand for?」
All-Night Nipponia has ended!! Ah man, we were nervous… everyone’s hands were shaking. My limbs were going numb～. Thanks to everyone who sent in mail! There was also lots of mail from people who’d just learned about us which made me really happy. We’re hoping for your support from now on, too. Anyway, it was absurdly fun. We were so into it, I don’t even remember what we talked about. It feels like it went by in a flash, but I hope you all had fun listening. If by any chance some of you want to still hear 9mm on All-Night Nippon, do send such requests to Nippon Broadcasting. (lol) You never know, it might just happen. Nfufu.
With that, good morning & good night.
