Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lawl. It really is a year old :'D
And I'm still managing to update it D: that's even more amazing.... though not today probably. >D
hm....a whole year
i wasnt a fan from the start(i didnt even hear about An cafe until 2 months after his graduation XP) but to think that it was a whole year ago makes me realize that it still doesnt seem like such a long time. And An cafe is still awesome and has grown^^

☆Hokkaido Live☆

This is Yuuki('-^*)/
Today was a Hokkaido live(*^-^)b
Today was the first day for the NGAW Japan Tour, so after it finished, everyone was saying, overseas and Japan is different so I get so nervous~( ´Д`) and stuff like that(・ω・)/
But I can relax the most in Japan so I like it(*^ー^)ノ
I will work hard so that everyone will have fun during this Japan tour all the way to the last live!

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

Thank you o( ≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku. Today was the first day of the tour☆
I was really nervous, and there were a lot of new things around me like the ear-moni and such so I made a lot of mistakes and I regretted it. I caused trouble for everyone. During the live I was healed by all the Cafekkos' kindness and it really seeped into my heart. And on top of that, after the live I was reading the survey and it really touched me. Thank you. I'll really try to take in everyone's feelings and go around doing the tour o(≧∀≦)o
During the encore I got to put all my energy into it so that was good. It was fun. I got so absorbed in it so it was good. I think that was the first time I genuinly exposed myself that much to the Cafekkos. Today became a very important day for me. Let's meet again, Sapporo o(・∀・)o
Also, thank you for the letters and presents. I'm thinking of soaking this moment in today, so I'll relax and read the letters tomorrow on the airplane. Ok then, really thank you all very much, Namara-nyappy o(≧∀≦)o

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

We don't have time to be playing basketball.

This is Teruki.
Thank you for today's Sapporo Pennylane 24☆

How was today's live? As for the performance, I think it became a very first-day-like performance so I'm regretful of that(-.- wink There were a lot of mistakes, but for some strange reason I was so excited from the beginning to the end♪

I feel like the values of the set lists for the lives have changed a little these days. I think the lives in Europe are influencing that. When we were deciding on the set list for the Europe tour, we had a lot of conditions to think about such as: "the people coming to see the lives are mostly people seeing AnCafe's live for the first time, right~?" "And on top of that, Magnya and Gokutama are the only ones let out in Europe..." "But don't you think the majority of the Cafekkos in Europe all watched YOU TUBE and got to know AnCafe? What are the songs uploaded onto YOU TUBE?" and talked about things like that, so we thought long and hard about which songs would make everyone have the most fun? The set list for today and the one for Europe isn't the same, but the way we thought up of them is mostly the same. After getting today's reaction, we were all talking together saying "We can keep doing this from now on" or "I thought this song was already out the window, but...it's actually pretty good, huh?" and such♪

AnCafe has made many songs up until now, and after each album we've been showing a different side to us, but even when you mix the songs up and combine them together and put them on a stage, I'm sure there are all kinds of ways of performing them. When you think about it that way, it's not just concerning this tour, but every single time we perform new or old songs, we can increase a new way of making them shine each time. Of course while including the surprises in them too. I'm pretty excited.

After becoming the 5 of us, it's almost going to be 1 year, and for Me, Kanon san and Miku kun it'll be almost 5 years. We got to discover a new kind of fun that can only be given to bands who have piled up a certain amount of years. I'm very excited thinking about things in a longer time span.

Today's live was very fun! Thank you for teaching us all kinds of things. Good night.

Hokkaido is you- from Kanon

Yesterday the tour started in Hokkaido-
I was more nervous than any overseas live
As usual Pennylane had terrible humidity, and the stairs to get back to the dressing room is made out of concrete, but it was all drenching wet
It's dangerous if you run
That just means it was that hot of a live
In the end, it's the happiest when you can see the Cafekkos right in front of you
My heart was clentched (he says "kyun kyun" wink
I'm sure all the places we're going go to after this will clentch my heart too *thinks*
This morning I woke up early and I went out to the streets
I looked at the souvenir shops and also when to UNIQLO and bought a T-shirt.

Ramen Heaven o( ≧∀≦)o

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku. Today we came back from Hokkaido to Tokyo☆ At the Hokkaido airport, I ate a miso butter ramen. It's so good. You really need to have butter in miso. I was thinking of drinking up all the soup, but the bulge on my stomach bugged me so I didn't drink it(;_ wink
And then we arrived at Tokyo, and I went to do my personal practice. I focused on my weak point and did the practice o(≧∀≦)o
And then I ate ramen on my way back home again(laugh) At first I was planning on eating at Matsuya, but I was lured in by the smell coming from inside the shop. And the one I ordered was Chashuu-men (pork slices ramen). As you can see in the picture, there was a crazy amount of pork o(・∀・)o This is crossing the level of chashuu-men. There's more pork than the ramen.
Oh yeah yeah, I'm planning on doing brain-training on DS for a change o(≧∀≦)o These days, my brain isn't working much o(≧∀≦)o So I'll work hard☆ Aim to become a genius. Well then, I'll go in bath(`・ω・´)b

Discovery.

This is Teruki.
Today we came back to Tokyo in the afternoon airplane. After I came back home I went to the dentist, and I went to go see a friend's live and came back home.

I needed to go near my old house to go to the dentist so it was a trouble, but my treatment finally finished today(-.- wink The live was fun too.

Osoraku (most likely)
Renshuu jikan wa (the practice time)
Hanpa janaidarou (will be very long)
Hotondo nenaide (without sleeping most of the time)
Mouretsu ni (intensely)
Jagaimo yori wa (other than a potato)
Yasaidattara (if it was a vegetable)
Nasu ga suki dakedo ( I like eggplant, but)
Iijan! Betsuni☆ (that doesn't matter!)

Tomorrow's a live too, I'll do my best~! Good night.

(the acrostic says "Ore wa homo janai" meaning "I'm not a homo)

My neck...

This is takuya.

I'm a little late, but our tour started yesterday at Sapporo. I newly brought in another equipment so I was a little worried, but without any worries, I got to safely concentrate on the live so I'm relieved now.

My muscle pain is bad(つд`)

I'll do my best at yesterday's live too.
Good night-

It got sucked in-o( ≧∀≦)o

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku☆
Today was a live at Takasaki♪ I had a lot of mistakes at the Sapporo live, so yesterday, I went into do personal practice. I don't know if it's because of that, but today I got to do a sute-king live in my opinion!! Yes, speaking of which, whenever we come to Takasaki, we always get this chicken rice bentou. Is it their famous product or something?? I think if they put a little bit more of the fat meat part of the chicken meat in, it would taste even better♪ After getting energy with that bentou, we went to do the live. These days, I love sweating. "The sweat that you let out will not lie". That was the wise saying that my Judo club teacher in High School always said, but it's so true. The sweat that we let out today with everyone is a treasure within us and the Cafekkos o(≧∀≦)o Everyone was sweating too, but it was beautiful. When we see that from the stage, we can get courage and energy. And right now I'm eating cup ramen o(・∀・)o As I was waiting for the 3 minutes to pass, I was reading the letters from everyone, but my noodles stretched. There's no more soup left(;_ wink How funny-(`・ω・´)b Well then, I'll keep reading. But, ramen is so good o(≧∀≦)o

☆Takasaki Live☆

This is Yuuki(・ω・)/
Today was a Takasaki live o(^-^)o
Compared to Hokkaido, my nervousness is getting less in a good way, so just like Hokkaido I got to have fun at today's live(*^-^)b
Also, today I ate chicken rice(^~^)
I'll do my best in the next one too!

FUT-TUN

This is Teruki. Thank you for today's Gunma・Takasaki FLEEZ!

Today I personally tried to out-do my regrets from Pennylane, and I tried changing the tuning and as a band we changed the set list, but good results came out of that so I think it became a good live today. There was no objections to the heat coming from the Cafekkos too☆ Thank you!

Right now I'm at home and I was listening to the recording that we took today. As I wrote up there, there were regrets and also responses...These days my style of how to make sound on the drums at lives has started to get established. During this tour, I might get one more partner for the drums(^-^) That's if I find something good.

But you know for musical instruments, no matter how good you get, there is no top point. Every time you keep growing, you start to increase your confidence a little more, but there is never a time where you can go up on stage 100% full of confidence. As you grow a little bit more, your ideal-self goes one rank up also. No matter how much I grow, the distant between the actual me, and the ideal-me will never shrink. I'm thinking this is a very good thing though.

Good night.

The Return of the Kami Kami Prince

This is takuya.

Yesterday we had a live at Takasaki-. As I was nervous in a good way, I got to have fun with the live and concentrate on my guitar play. Although I still have a lot of things to work on(laugh)

I want to eat the chicken rice again-(・∀・)

Well then I'll go to a photo shoot now.

Nyappy chan weather o( ≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku☆
Today I didn't feel so well, so I stayed home the whole day. So I got to play with Nyappy a lot. Today's Nyappy was really lovey-dovey and she was so cute o(・∀・)o (he says "amaenbou" meaning wanting attention, or sticky, or just wants a lot of love) She keeps coming up next to me. She was just too cute, so I took her for an extra long walk today. Also, I bought her some canned food. Nyappy's favorite food is actually canned food. I was thinking about her health so I held back on the canned foods, and I was giving her the snack kinds of food, but I couldn't hold back anymore, so I bought her canned food. The pet shop lady was saying that Nyappy loves canned food. And sure enough, she ate a lot of it o(≧∀≦)o I'm happy☆
Nyappy is tired now. The picture is the sleepy Nyappy chan o(・∀・)o

Bring out the sake(`O´)

This is Teruki.
Today we had studio from the afternoon. Hasegawa-shi joined us too, and it was the musical group's practice.

takuya had a photo shoot so he joined in from half-way. At night, I was talking on the phone with Yuuko san, but supposedly during the photo shoot they had this kind of conversation.

There is this person named, S-shi, who is in charge of AnCafe in SHOXX, but for some strange reason that S-shi started talking about "My encounter with Teruki". This is what happened↓

The first time we met was during the PV shooting for "Odoru Meruhen Tokei", and SHOXX san was doing an interview. It was a PV shooting, but it was using a Handycam(^_^ wink And on top of that it was on a rooftop of a building, and we took it at night so Michiru san was saying "Teruki kun, don't hit the drums! Please just pretend to hit it! Because we'll get complaints from people". It was that kind of strange environment. And the biggest puzzle to me, was that Miku kun was doing the photo shoot holding a guitar (laugh)

The introduction got long, but S-shi's first-impression of Teruki on that day was↓

He was up on the rooftop clinging onto the wire-fence and looking far off. He was crying saying "I want to go back to Sendai...".

Supposedly that's what he thought. I remember that. The place we did the photo shoot was Ebisu, and the outside scenery that you could see from the rooftop was full of tall buildings, and it really felt like the "city". And at that time, I hated Tokyo.

And, Yuuko san thought that was so funny, so after she got back to the company office, she talked about that story to everyone(-_-#) she said things like "Teruki is a really soft-hearted man~" or "That guy was starting to get homesick in Europe, but even when he's in Japan he gets homesick~(laugh)". death(*_*)

Hmph. That's right. I'm originally a no-good man. When I'm in AnCafe people say that I'm the reliable one, but it's because there's no one else who is reliable so I have to act like that.

I'll just go cry by myself-!!

Good night.

Daybreak.

This is Teruki.
Today was a day off, so I was sleeping until the afternoon, and I hung dried my futon. I finally got to hang my futon in the afternoon(^_^ wink But you know today, I learned a very important truth. The verandah in my room only gets the sunlight in the morning...

In the evening, I went around to a couple second hand music instrument stores, and was just walking around. At this one second hand store I found a snare I liked, and I got to test it out, but I tried out tuning it one by one myself, but I stayed a long time at this one store. I was even sweating a lot(^_^ wink I didn't find anything that I really liked, but it became like a tuning practice or a study session so I felt like I gained something♪

My blog entry tomorrow will be long. I want to write all kinds of things, but I don't want to break it up into parts and write it. Good night.

Gokutama Rock Cafe o( ≧∀≦)o

Nyappy o(≧∀≦)o it's Miku. Today I talked a lot with my band friend and went shopping together and stuff.
When I went shopping, I bought this rain coat looking outer at Lumine's LHP. If I wear it on a rainy day it'll totally become a rain coat. But depending on the way you wear it, I think it'll look really cute.
And about the talking, at first we talked about some random lame things, but it turned into this serious talk about bands. There were a lot of things he made me realize, and it felt like my heart was squeezed really tightly. My mental state is all packed into Gokutama. I'll write more about it when I have the chance some time.
Today is a very important day, so I want to soak myself into memories. Well then, good night.


Aww. Yuuki is nervous. xD It's kinda cute. Miku is always so positive to the fans. It's touching. xDDD Teruki mentions youtube. /All/ your songs are on youtube, guys~!

Haa. Leave it to him to mention that it's been a year.

Oiya, oiya, that ramen looks delicious! I've had that kind of pork before and it's sooo good. Haa, I'm hungry. -scurries off to dinner-

... ._. Uh. Teruki. Wow. "Ore wa homo janai." That's a bit...-hack- xD

Aww. Poor Takuya. Neck pain. -wince- Tch, hate it when the ramen soaks up the soup. Think I've gone over this before~. ...Anyone notice that food is mentioned a lot? xDD Chicken rice~.

Uwaaaaa, Nyappy-chan is so cute~.

Oh, Takuya had a solo photoshoot? I want to see~.

...xDD Wow, Teruki. Odoru~.


☆★☆This Is. Yuuka.

Aww~ takuya has muscle pains.....

he seems so serious in the lives overseas.....

Let's hope he smiles at Fanime~ Although I will never be able to see it since I am not going.

Teruki blogs a lot. I think it's very cute, especially his voice.

Well, I have school tomorrow.

I'll definitely try my best to get my left thigh muscle-like like my right, but it's very painful☆

I must be careful and work out to fit into my corset-like-fitting yellow luncheon dress for June. And I must work even harder to try to stay able to fit into that restricting Cheong Sam.

And as always, I've got to keep myself from starting a fight with that ignorant b***h Melinda~

Oh well. Using Ruki as a main role model has gotten to me, especially my bad mouth. So I guess it's time for Teruki and Takuya to replace him~ I also have Saga and Shou as Beauty Role Models. And I'm a girl(who can never be as pretty as Saga, of course).

Well, good night.☆★☆

An Cafe
Us Jenga☆

This is Teruki.

Today is 4/30. It is an unforgettable day for the members, for the staff, and for the Cafekkos.

I don't think that I want to forget, and I don't think I need to forget. In fact, I think I shouldn't forget. I was firmly telling myself that the whole time, but when this day actually come closer, you just really get painful. I still clearly remember that day.

In the morning it was as usual, bright and fun. The sky was sunny too, and that day was actually pretty hot. But maybe everyone was empty and energetic. The rehearsals finished, and we finished doing our make-up, and there the atmosphere started to change.

I couldn't stay in the dressing room anymore, so I went outside by myself. I didn't know what was sad, or what was painful, and without being able to sort out my feelings, tears started falling down.

When the live started, the sky was still bright. When I was concentrating on the performance, I was looking at the Cafekkos, and looking at the staff, and looking at the members...Without thinking about anything I glanced up at the sky, and every time I did so, I thought "ah, the sky is darker than it was before...". And every time I felt that, I thought "we are nearing the end". "Is this really ok. Can't I just stop the live right now, and talk over it once more" I knew that was something I couldn't think about, so I crushed those feelings down.

After we finished the last song, and I came down from the drum stand, I remember how there was still an encore coming from outside of the hall. The Cafekkos who got inside the hall knew that we ended, but the Cafekkos who were outside of the hall couldn't see that. I guess they still believed that it didn't end yet, and they kept screaming for us. That was really sad.

There was a time where I randomly compared the band Antic Cafe to Jenga. He was the original person who made AnCafe. One year ago, I thought "if he leaves, then the foundation that's on the very bottom will shake". But now, after one year passed, I think that's not true.

This past year, when there was a painful time or a troubled time, I thought "even at that time, I got to climb over that hurdle with him doing this" or, the successes and mistakes that I experienced with him always became a guide for me. So, the jenga that was on the very bottom, hasn't gone away.
I think it will always be there even in the future.

I'm sure there were a lot of Cafekkos who said good-bye at that time. But still, the Cafekko's who stayed, worked so hard to support us, and Yuuki and takuya worked their hardest too, and that's why we are here now. When I think about it that way, I think "What a lucky person I am. If I don't work harder I'll get punished for it", and I begin to think positively.

I'm gonna go a little earlier than Ya-on (Hibiya), but...

Whether we continue AnCafe, or break up, or take a break from it. The company people said "it's your guys' lives. You 3 decide that". No one really spoke up about it, but once someone started to talk about it, Miku kun and Kanon san got in a fight. At this point we had been together for 4 years, but there was never a time where Miku kun and Kanon san got in a dispute, so I was first really surprised. I guess it just means it was that much of an important time. Even for me, I wanted to say "I want to do it" but the worrying part of me was greater so words just wouldn't come out. We want eachother to pull eachother up, but the weaker/loser words come out first.

Out of all the many choices we had, one year has passed and I still don't know what was the right choice. I don't have the confidence to say that this one year was the right choice. But, it's way better than staying at that point and starting to rot on and on. Without knowing if it's right or left, or front or back, we just kept moving forward. No matter if the Cafekkos left were 100 people or 10 people, as long as there were people living to support us, then we needed to work hard for them. I think that was the joy and duty for us, who worked for 4 years to get there.

And, more than anything, I love music. Being able to do what you love in front of a whole bunch of people, I don't think there's a greater happiness than that.

On 5/24 before the Demonstration Live, I asked him "Can we still do Bou kun's songs from now on?", just to make sure. Even though I knew he wouldn't say "no". The answer I got from him was "Of course. I'd be sad if you didn't do it..." that's what he said.

The AnCafe now, has songs the 4 of us made, songs the 5 of us made, and songs the 6 of us made. Everyone, please come listen to them.

1 year ago, without writing my name I just wrote one phrase "I can't sleep" on the blog. This year, I got to sleep well. I will be bright and energetic and work hard starting from tomorrow again! I will treasure all of the jenga that is Antic Cafe from now on☆

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

Sun o(≧∀≦)o

I wrote this in the nyappy-ken too, but I'm only thinking one thing, so I'm gonna write the same content, sorry. One year has quickly passed already. The scenery we saw with everyone, and the tears still haven't changed and it is left in my heart. I composed my feelings into the songs Orange Dream that's in the album Gokutama, so I want you guys to listen to it until it fades away. I'm full of emotions wanting to sing in front of everyone. That's all. I want to live my whole life happily with the AnCafe that we've made with everyone. I want to stand on the big stage that we promised and sing to everyone so it'll reach. So I'll work hard!!



So Orange Dream /was/ about Bou after all.

I think I'm going to cry. Teruki's blog was so moving...

Kanon and Miku go in a fight back then? And Bou wants them to keep playing his songs. -sigh- Oh man. I feel so nostalgic.
Yeeey! Happy birthday thread!!~
We're almost at 500 too. ^^

Yeah, I can't believe it's been a year without Bou.
I hope he's doing well right now where ever he is. :]

Blogggss. Woo!
Miku sure does like to talk about food a lot.
Nyappy-chan looks adorableee. <3
My dogs just fat and ugly (but nice!).
..Teruki, is so..xxxD "Ore wa homo janai." rofllll.
Funny Odoru story though. :3
Aww... Miku's memories.
Gosh darn it, I'm getting all mushy again.. D<
Moar Kojiii? xD

Aightz, second batch of blogs.

Those were really emotional.
I'm feeling all sad but modivated right now.
It's weird.~
Teruki's entry was really touching though.
I still miss Bou.
Jenga..I have that game around here somewhere.
I suddenly have the urge to play it.
And it sorta means more to me now.
But I'm still looking forward to the future of An Cafe.
I'm pretty sure I'll be a fan forever.
No matter what they go through.
--is totally listening to Orange Dream right now--
These kinda things get me all emotionalllll. *sniffsniff*

Double post. rofl.
Nyappy-chan is so cute heart

lol, Teruki why does Teruki feel that he needs to point out that he's not gay? He really does blog a lot, and they're funny too.

That was a really deep post, it does feel wierd though, without Bou, i really wonder why he left and what he's doing sometimes, but i respect the fact that he wants to be left alone.
Orange Dream is a beautiful song too.
awww...
poor teruki and miku o(; ^ ; o)
im sure kanon is feeling just as sad and I hope they feel less sad soon!

im just glad that they were able to push ahead without splitting up

and sooo cute that orange dream was about bou
Did nyone notice how Teruki always smiles and laughs and talks a lot but in his pictures there's something different? Kinda serious about it? I know I've seen a lot of people do it when they take pictures, hell, I even do it myself, but I just couldn't help but notice something since I love him so much~ O3O

It's just something I noticed and I needed to keep the thread alive~
