『An instrument is a mirror reflecting its player’s nature.』
It’s been around 2007 years since The Three Wise Men from the east struggled as they made their way into Bethlehem. The city’s full of illumination. Christmas is near.
Having been told at fortune-telling that my lucky item of the day is “pigs’ feet”, this is Chihiro. That’s terrible.
Thank you for attending our tour. During our tour I received several fan letters and I find that recently it seems girls really like dirty jokes — the letters are full of everyone asking me to write more. Now, about that…
Even though I do try and keep a sense of style as I write about vulgar stuff, all I get is a bunch of “that’s no good” from my manager. As a result, I have to choose different, more half-hearted words to express what I want to say. “Pervert“, “too lewd” and “you’re the worst” are just some of the words of abuse from that person whom I properly hear out with respect. It’s not like I don’t understand the feelings of the people who say those things to me. However… it’s apparent they just don’t know “the real thing.“
At the end of the day, I’m nothing more than just “a normal person trying to act like a pervert.” I wholly acknowledge and agree that my skills as a pervert are pathetic. See, the real perverts are really, really, really, really perverted. A “frivolous pervert” like me is completely useless. It appears that they detest witty, foolish people like me. I’m not too sure they’ll let it slide when someone like me is seen as being one of “them.” Observing the world from up above, I wonder just what it is that they’re doing in preparation of my ruin.
I tried writing in all seriousness for a change. It’s no good to just be thinking about music and perverted things all the time. Books and movies, too, are good for self-improvement.
Oh. Erotic novels and porn videos, too. In reasonable amounts.

『That’s right, I’m a weird old man.』
Hello, this is Kazuhiko Nakamura.
Last night I secretly took part in a DJ event called “Getting Better” over at Shimokita.
I was so nervous as well as drunk, so I messed up with the mixer’s controls twice (badly!). I still feel uneasy about that. But it was really fun. Also, seeing that there were several people wearing 9mm’s T-shirts made me really hyped up. I wonder if they knew I was going to perform. Ah man, it was fun!
Now then, today it’s FACTORY. We’ll do our best in high spirits.

Please do watch their first regular corner.

The Termination Tour 07 is over! Thanks to you, we survived it unharmed (all of the members did catch a cold though). Thank you very much to all who came. See you again on the ’08 tour!
Picture: Pasted onto this notebook are backstage passes. It’s actually missing one, even though I’m sure I did bring it with me… Too bad…

『Are you prepared to feel pain in order to know the truth?』
Not long to go until the year-end office closing. You have my deepest sympathies for having to work through what is sure to be a busy time at the office.
Poor at being caressed by someone, this is Chihiro.
Phew…
I feel like my dirty pervert character has reached full saturation.
Although it’s something I established myself, the real me is actually not that vulgar.
See, there was a game of rock-paper-scissors held amongst the members to determine our characters. Me, I just unintentionally ended up with the “pervert” one… (big lie). Maybe it would’ve just been easier to leave deciding our characters up to the director.
At festivals and stuff when we’re partying with lots of band guys, if they’re meeting me for the first time, I’m often told that in such informal situations my face looks completely different compared to when I’m up on the stage or in pictures published on the blog or in magazines. For people far greater than I, the difference is sure to be even more noticeable.
“People who think celebrities act the same way in real life as they do on TV are idiots” is something I’ve been told before. Right, well that’s what one would usually think right. Well, I’m not exactly a celebrity, but anyway. But for people with class, that actually can be true. Me, I’m of the lower class, so it can often can take a long time for me to comprehend things. To summarize, what I’m trying to say is, “only trust what you’ve seen to be true with your own eyes.” Like they say in the IT field, this is an era of a superabundance of gossip.
Ah crap. This unintentionally ended up looking like a really weak explanation due to my drunkenness. Writing it from scratch would be a bother… what should I do… uhh…
Un○, man○, chin○, shik○!!!
For now, just forgive me with this ↑ please.
Hint: you put “ko” inside all the ○’s. (Which quite eloquently makes for “shit, pussy, dick, piss“)
No longer able to ditch my character after such a long time, this was Chihiro.
