HEAVEN in English

We had a live at a place in Kyoto called ARCDEUX♪ It was all young visual kei bands, so my heart was sort of pounding☆ The live itself went well too♪ Apparently the cause of the problems last time was a power shortage due to octopus wiring... so it turns out such basic things can cause problems like that (^^;)

We started yesterday's show with a piano performance of the song "morphine," and it was really fun since we were able to make our group stand out among that unique atmosphere☆ When I first learned that song and just played it on the piano I thought "The melody is so pretty〜", and I wanted to share the same experience with everyone there, though it was just a super-short performance less than a minute long...

But you know, I love the doll I wear in my hat, but it's so heavy!! But I'm a hard worker who gets through a performance with no changes in my facial expression☆ Maybe I should do some muscle training for my neck?

It was my first time performing in a club so the new feeling was a lot of fun☆ Calling two bands from overseas and making an event of it was so〜 much〜 fun〜!! I think it must have been hard on our boss playing on three different stages with GPKism and Spectrum-X and BLOOD, though (^^;)

This time I made a HUGE mistake... because of me, the show was stopped several times before it was over... And you know, it's so rude to make the guests in a club stop dancing, but they continued dancing until the end so that made me really happy☆ I'm still no good at this, but I'll try my best to make sure everyone has more fun next time (^^)/

Also, on the way back to Osaka from Tokyo I almost ran into a car that had wrecked on the highway, so it was good luck to have the person beside me yell out "Ryo-chan, stop!" (^^;) High speed driving on the highway is dangerous〜

Ah〜, GPK-san and Spectrum-X-san both have to go back home〜... They're all so nice and we were just getting along so well, it's so sad... I'm looking forward to doing a live with them again someday!!

I went to the event for Spectrum-X and CLUB NEO too!!
It was my first time going to an elegant goth and black style event, so my eyes nearly fell out just seeing the outfits the guests were wearing (^^;) Outside there was someone tied up with ropes and inside they were doing something like white magic so from beginning to end it was shocking good〜☆

It was a Spectrum-X live I needed to see, but both of them had great style, they looked so sexy & beautiful!! I love that strange, charming atmosphere♪ It made me think I'd like to do skit-type things like that too☆ I'm the easily influenced type, so every time I go to club events it feels more and more like I'll be a bandman who never plays an instrument...

Our new album [THE REAPER BEHIND ME] is about 90% done, I think? There are some nice dark-sounding compositions including lots of synthesizer〜♪ The songs that have already come out as singles will be remade too so look forward to it!!

I've been appearing in live shows since the American tour so most people have probably already seen me☆
"Manipulator" means I make music using synthesizers and computers, that sort of thing♪
I would say it's pretty quiet behind-the-scenes work, but I hope I can make everyone enjoy our music more by adding my sound to it this way (^.^) Pleased to meet you all~♪
