Makoto just registered on twitter yesterday. Like the other members, he, too responds to fans’ tweets (including mine!) Here’s some of the more interesting of his tweets so far. Read about his epic “Tokyo Twitter Marathon” in which he tries to achieve 1000 followers!

  • My first tweet. Nervous. (Feb 27th)
  • Went to see Creature Creature today. Morrie was god.
  • (To Yuki) It’s me. I started twitter. Cheers.
  • Having steak now.
  • Listening to PJ Harvey in the morning’s nice. (Feb 28th)
  • I got my hay fever debut this year and my back hurts.
  • When it rains, I want to listen to Kuwata Keisuke’s “Tokyo“.
  • Having lunch. This chicken cutlet’s delicious.
  • I wonder if my profile picture’s any good. Took it at the backstage of Akasaka BLITZ.

  • By the way, we’re busing making TRICK’s demo. All you youngsters, wait just a bit more!
  • (Unrelated tweet from Santa) Even though it was so warm yesterday～ It’s sleeting now (tear) My hands are so cold they don’t move. Not good. If I don’t get warmed up soon, I won’t be able to play (°□°;)
  • (Makoto → Santa) Watch Λucifer’s DVD and you’ll get warm in no time
  • Am I tweeting too much? Should I just go for one a month?
  • The ex-fallen angel has appeared in the world of twitter!
  • Ah, I’m tired, I’ll get in the bath. Heating the water now.
  • The ex-fallen angel makes his appearance just out of the bath, tweeting completely naked!!
  • The ex-fallen angel just out of the bath, makes his appearance tweeting while chugging down milk!
  • Kinda feel like watching a movie～ any recommendations? By the way, I recommend the South Korean movie “Breathless“. Rent it from Tsutaya!
  • Sorry, I’ve been watching movies for about 300 years’ worth so I’ve already seen most of you guys’ recommendations. The ex-fallen angel who watches movies too much makes his appearance!
  • I made it to 500 followers!! The ex-fallen angel is somewhat pleased.
  • I have something to tell you all. I’m getting married! My partner is… twitter!!
  • Having curry for dinner.
  • Any band recommendations as of late? I guess it’d be TOKIO HOTEL for me.
  • Oh, this raayu goes well with curry.
  • I’m done eating. Twitter for dessert!!
  • The guy who came up with curry and the guy who came up with twitter are both geniuses.
  • I want to make it to 1000 followers before midnight.
  • Watching Creature Creature now!! Morrie LOVE!!
  • Ti. re. d.
  • Twired… (TL note: Pretty sure Makoto just made up this word himself. It’s a pun combining twitter (ツイッター) + tired (つかれた) = ツイッかれた)

  • Reached 700 followers!
  • This Red Bull injection makes me a Datenshi BULL!

  • Hey? Towa?!
  • Huh? It’s you isn’t it, Towa?!

  • (Makoto → me (woohoo!)) *pant pant pant* Thank you.. To… wa.. Losing consciousness..
  • Oh, is this the Sanzu River?
  • Someone’s standing at the other side of the river bank… To-Towa!?
  • Ah, w-wrong!
  • (Makoto → MUCC’s Tatsurou) Huh, on the other side of the river is.. Tatsurou!? It’s probably better to not go there then.. thank you. Ah! Regaining consciousness…
  • Resurrected safely! I’ll work hard for the last spurt!! Twired.
  • (Tatsurou → Makoto) Hey you old man, old man, that’s my real name! It’s Tatsurou! It’s different for my public persona, so from now on, please! (TL note: Makoto used the wrong kanji to call Tatsurou in his earlier tweet)
  • (Makoto → Tatsurou) Thanks Tacchan (v^-ﾟ) I came back safely! I’m taking part in the Twitter Marathon you invited me into!! Just a little bit more until 1000.
  • The rain’s cold. Is it just me running the Tokyo Twitter Marathon?!

  • Reached 800 followers!
  • The last spurt! Bring it on!!
