Selection of Atsuro’s tweets

• After the lives were finished, I’ve been in a daze. I forgot about twitter… reminds me of way back, when I once completely burned myself out at a school festival and didn’t go for a week… Sep 7th
• Today’s Λucifer’s rehearsal and I was wondering how everyone already knew about it. Then I figured it must be the fault of this guitarist companion in front of me!!♪( ´▽｀) — Sep 9th
• I want to update my blog, too, but I’m busy so I keep putting it off… on that point Twitter is simpler♪ During Λucifer’s time, I did my best with SMS. There’s a stronger sense of closeness now. — Sep 10th

Selection of Yuki’s tweets

• I went to see Acid Black Cherry at Yokohama Arena. It was my first time seeing a full size live from them so I was really moved. It’s risky for my tear glands to think about the QED tour. I’m glad to have seen yasu’s comeback live. Good work to all the members, too～(o^_^o) — Sep 6th

• Phew, I wrote some music～(*^_^*) An 8-minute song with no repeats is difficult (>_<) (Note: …8-minute song with no repeats? Just what band is this?! Rayflower? I need to hear this!) I’ll take a shower and go to sleep… — Sep 9th

Thanks everyone

The first day of Λucifer’s 10th anniversary tour at Osaka!
Thanks to the kindness of the fans and the staff, we were able to wrap up the live～Thank you!

However, it was the first time I was using a bit of foundation live..
The foundation as well as my hairspray that were dissolved by sweat really hurt when it entered my eyes! (lol)

We’re now busy moving towards Nagoya but,
I’d love it if I could check out the area some more～.

Everyone, let’s get excited at our convention of old songs today, too (lol)

Towa’s blog 2010/08/26

Nagoya!

Λucifer reunion tour at Nagoya has come to its end!
Thanks to everyone who came!
All that’s left is Tokyo!
This is me again in the dressing room with a cold one!

Santa’s blog 2010/08/27

Nagoya done

As Λucifer was able to safely finish up at Nagoya, we’re now heading towards BLITZ～
Or rather, we’re returning home, but anyways! (lol)

It was good watching a movie yesterday while commuting so the boredom never set in～.
Wasn’t the MC by Makoto & Akkun at Nagoya and Osaka basically about this movie?
…Let’s have high expectations for Akasaka as well! (lol)

Towa’s blog 2010/08/30

Tomorrow!

Tomorrow it’s Λucifer reunion tour at Akasaka!
It really came in the blink of an eye!
Let’s have fun tomorrow!
The picture for some reason is today’s sky!

Another day over～!
Thanks everyone!
It was a fun live～

Let’s enjoy ourselves to the fullest eh～ Also, the filming crew for the DVD is coming tomorrow so please give it your all! (lol)

Today I’m just having a non-alcoholic beer by myself～

Towa’s blog 2010/09/01

Akasaka last day!

Λucifer’s domestic reunion tour is over!
Thank you very much to everyone who came!
Also a huge thank you to the staff!
It’d be nice if we were able to do this again sometime! Well, there’s still Thai left though!
We’ll be freezing (activities) after that!
Really, thank you very much!
It was fun!

Towa’s blog 2010/09/02

Freeze

The word “freeze” which suddenly came about in yesterday’s blog probably left some people who didn’t come to the last Tokyo show wondering what it was all about, so I’ll explain just in case now.

In the last MC, I said,
“As the reunion comes to its end, that also means re-dissolution… It was by the leader’s as well as everyone’s own decision that Λucifer are freezing activites again.“

Well, that’s the explanation for now…

Well then, today’s picture is the evening sky from when I was running.
I’ll keep on running～

Santa’s blog 2010/09/06

After the festival…

To those of you who came to Λucifer’s 10th anniversary commemoration live in Osaka, Nagoya, Akasaka.

The tour ended yesterday at Akasaka.
To all of those who came to the venue, and those of you who cheered us on from home. Seriously, thank you very much.

How Λucifer came into being is like you already know,
At first it was born from Shinjo Mayu’s manga,
The manga was turned into an anime,
From the anime, the real thing’s “design” was realized.

Thinking back now, because it’s a band that was put together,

It’s not just the five of us members — the office staff, recording staff, tour staff all contributed with various ideas. Though we sometimes quarreled, we started working as one trying to figure out the ideal way to work with the band, and I think we were finally able to bring Λucifer to life. And then, thanks to the fans who started supporting that creation called “Λucifer” (Note: what Santa literally says here is ‘that flower vase called “Λucifer” was filled with flowers by you fans…‘ I swear, I’m not making this up!), we were able to become very successful and have lots of activities…

Λucifer isn’t just the five of us.

Λucifer is all the staff, all the fans and everyone else who participated in making Λucifer happen.

This time with Λucifer’s reunion live, we had high expectations as well as anxiety about it. It’s been seven years since then. The pace at which our fans were living — going to university, finding employment — I knew that had changed, so honestly I had anxiety about if anyone would come see us.

As I was worrying about things like that, I later came to know that the chief behind this production had said that if by any chance the worst happens and not even one person comes to see us, he’d be taking responsibility for it all.
Even under such dangerous circumstances, Japan’s specialists in music production cheerfully came to help us out.

And then, when we jokingly said in the rehearsals
“Shall we give our all～?!” “Nope!”
As we were having that conversation,
“Stop saying things like that.”
we got told that by the person responsible for PA…

Seriously, even though it was said in jest, I said something I shouldn’t have. It’s inexcusable.
Embarrassing…

Somehow I’m really filled with emotion right now. As I’m writing this, tears are coming out. Really, thank you so much everyone.

Visual kei? Idols?… is what you often hear Λucifer being referred to as, but
So far, to me it doesn’t feel like we’re visual kei. Idols? Not quite there, either… I don’t quite know where I stand on this, but I again felt this same feeling.
Λucifer aren’t visual kei nor  idols.

Λucifer are quite simply Λucifer, nothing more, nothing less.

We worked as one with specialists in Japan’s music industry, and together with all the fans created what we are today, a band that jumped into existence from an anime! Is there something wrong with that??… that’s how I feel about it.

It’s seven years since the break-up, and something that I back then never imagined would happen again, happened… we saw a new light.

Thank you.

It’d be nice to get together again sometime.

Everyone in the Λucifer family, all together now!!

(Note: in English:) Thank you Λucifer’s family

And there you have it. Sigh…

Next up from me, translations of the Thai rehearsals. Probably Atsuro/Yuki twitter translations after that. It’ll be only after the actual show at Bangkok has already happened, though… sorry!

Yuki’s tweet: Λucifer’s live ended. Somehow I played guitar more freely than in the old days (lol) Since there’s no weird pressure (lol) Everyone who came to see us, thank you very much. Everyone who’s followed me [on twitter], too, thank you for the support. — 10:49 PM Aug 25th
Atsuro’s tweet: I was able to properly convey my feelings so it was a good live m(._.)m To those of you who waited afterwards for us to come out, this picture I took from the taxi is of course blurry, but thank you (^_-) (picture) — 1:23 AM Aug 26th

Please do your best with this kind of energy tomorrow in Nagoya, too.

I’m also looking forward to Nagoya tomorrow!

Good work at Λucifer’s Osaka live. You couldn’t see from the performance at all that it had been 7 years since the last time. The five of Λucifer really are the best. This time I’m only able to go to the Osaka live but I’m hoping for tomorrow’s live to be a huge success. Thank you very much for the seriously good time.
Commented by しぃ at 2010-08-26 00:43
Good work!
The live was the best!
Although I couldn’t really get the best spot, seeing Towa again, you were cool like I thought (≧▽≦)b
The next time you have a live in Osaka I want to again ヽ(´▽`)ﾉ
Commented by つる at 2010-08-26 01:02
Good work at the Osaka live.
For today’s sake I worked 16 days straight without a day off, and with that payroll travelled alone from Kagoshima.
As I thought, Λucifer is the best.
Since it was 7 years since the last live, I’m sure you must’ve had some uneasiness about it, but the body sure does catch up to old things quickly, right?
Thank you for a day filled with happiness.
Please do your best tomorrow, too.
Commented by 静香 at 2010-08-26 01:53
Thank you very much for the fun time. I really really love Λucifer.
Next, I’m going to attend the Akasaka show.
I managed to get Towa’s pick. I’m going to take care of it as a heirloom (≧ω≦) (lol)
Thank you very much.

Good work! It was a fun live!

As a bonus, here’s a live report by 濱中＠刺身以下 on mixi

The MC’s we’re generally relaxed and topics included Makoto jokingly asking “Should I let you see that lowered eyebrows look I used to always do in the old days?” and showing off that cold glare again, doing a Koriki impression, and exposing Yuki for using a facial massager in the dressing room (lol)

From beginning to end, the members were really laid-back or should I say kind of touchy-feely, and seemed to be enjoying theirselves.

However, during the MC when Makoto got on the topic of how it’d been many years since Aucifer’s break-up, and yet the fans were still waiting for them, he suddenly stopped mid-sentence and looked like he was holding back the tears.

According to him, apparently his “tear glands had become loose lately” (lol)

Makoto got Atsuro and Yuki to do something of a speed-picking guitar battle on a whim (lol)

Makoto accidentally called out to Atsuro by the name “Kato” (lol)

Atsuro forgot to join in at the beginning of a song (lol)
→ Makoto covered for him by making the crowd make some noise

Towa and San-chan seemed like good buddies as always, talking while reading each others’ lips during songs.

This is getting long so I’ll stop here (sweatdrop)
Towa is my favorite member and from my location I mostly just paid attention to him so I don’t have much else to report about other happenings. Sorry about that. (sweatdrop)

Personally, if you asked me to compare them to the Λucifer of olden days, I think everyone has really matured a lot in the good sense ´･ω･`)

Let the rehearsals begin!

The countdown for Λucifer’s revival has started!!
All the tickets even to the additional show are already sold out.
Their schedule looks like this.

8/25 (Wednesday) Osaka Shinsaibashi CLUB QUATTRO
8/26 (Thursday) Nagoya ELL
8/31 (Tuesday) Akasaka BLITZ
9/1 (Wednesday) Akasaka BLITZ (additional performance)

I’m gonna go see them, too!
Everyone who was lucky enough to get a ticket, let’s meet at the venue!

Λucifer’s members are now in the midst of rehearsals.
The staff from the old days are back, too.
They must be having a good time working together.
The concert staff, who in those days often helped me out a lot when I was running around at Λucifer’s shows, mailed me about the state of the rehearsals.
Little by little the feeling of “Ah, so they really will reunite～” started to come about.

Some of the members are on twitter, so definitely follow them and read about their thoughts and latest happenings at the rehearsals!

The end

The Λucifer rehearsals are over～

As we’re finally nearing the Osaka show that’s the day after tomorrow, the truck loaded with our equipment has begun its journey～! (^w^)
Have a safe trip～!

And so,
The 10th anniversary festival is finally upon us!
Yeah,
I wonder what kind of drama awaits us!
I wonder if I have enough physical strength to whip out those songs at the tension appropriate for a live audience! (lol)

Looking forward to the day after tomorrow (^O^)

Λucifer 10th Anniversary Live Tour

The tour limited to just a couple of shows is finally starting tomorrow!!!!!

I’m nervous as this time it’s different from the usual when I’m just a supporting guitarist.
This time it’ll be from the standpoint of an artist.

“Let’s give it our all～!” (as Makoto used to always say)

We’ve rehearsed a lot and done a lot in preparation for the live, so everyone please enjoy yourselves! I’m gonna have a lot of fun, too.
The concept is that of a huge class reunion.

10 years since the debut, 7 years since the break-up, we get to do this even though it’s a band with only around 3 and a half years of activity. It makes you realize music really is a wonderful thing. I really think it’s great.

It was my birthday yesterday.
Thank you all for the messages!!!!!
I was going through them on twitter☆ (that I’m strangely enough still using～)

10 years ago yesterday was Λucifer’s first time at Budokan.
10 years ago I would’ve never thought I’d be rehearsing with the same members today…
Music really is a wonderful thing eh. (My second time saying that…)
And about the possibility of there being more than just these couple of lives…
though I don’t like needlessly dwelling on future plans…
Will the next one be 5 years from now… or 10 years from now… or will there be no more after this…
First let’s just concentrate on this live!

The edition of Happy Music I recorded a while ago airs this week on 8/27 (Friday) at around 1:43 AM.
Definitely check it out.

• Last day of rehearsals. If I don’t get everything sorted in my head… — 1:21 PM Aug 23rd
• We played through everything twice at the Λucifer rehearsal. Since it’s been 7 years, I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of an ensemble it’ll turn out to be. If possible, I’d like to play with this kind of feeling at the live. Having experienced a lot and met a lot of people during these 7 years, I want to express those feelings of gratitude! — 1:10 AM Aug 24th

Kaikan Phrase creator Mayu Shinjo and Atsuro/Yuki exchanged greetings on twitter.

Selection of Atsuro‘s tweets.

• Today too at Sukiya before rehearsals. Not in the mood for something hard to eat so it’s my usual of soup and egg. As typical of me, I’ve gotten addicted to Sukiya. I’m often addicted to Yoshinoya, too, but not Matsuya at all. I wonder why… — 12:57 PM Aug 16th
• At Λucifer rehearsal now. First we ran through some troublesome passages with just us instrumentalists (^-^) (picture) — 7:12 PM Aug 16th

• Riding on the train after a while. The couple of minutes of wait when switching trains is making me sweat like a pig (>_<) It’s piping hot♪～ (Note: he says “atsuatsu anettai♪～” which are lyrics from the Shokotan song “Sekidou Komachi DOKI”) — 12:51 PM Aug 18th

Yuki also got himself a twitter. A selection of his first tweets.

• (first tweet) @shuse0317 YUKI here. I started up twitter. Please treat me well. The last chord of Nemuri Hime (awesome Acid Black Cherry song) is B-major 7 9 13. I have a live with DUSTAR-3 today. I’ll do my best. — 12:53 PM Aug 20th
• I started a twitter account. I still don’t know at all how to use it or what to write. It’s my first tweet. Right now, me and HIMAWARI (DUSTAR-3 drummer) are going to Meguro～. — 1:53 PM Aug 20th
• DUSTAR-3’s live ended. This morning I felt like starting a twitter account on a whim and called SHUSE (Acid Black Cherry bassist) who carefully instructed me on how to get started. As I returned home from the live I noticed I’d gotten a lot of followers. Thank you. I still don’t really know how to use it so I’ll try to slowly get used to it. — 12:12 AM Aug 21st

OK, the tour is just 4 days away, and here are some pictures of the rehearsal:

A new section about tour goods is also added, so you can do some fanboy/girling with even higher spirit with the official tour t-shirts, key chains, caps and lots of other stuffs. You can get those things here. Would you mind to buy me some of em? 8)
