Helmet Hair

2003/06/30

After getting an 'ultra-heavy-duty straight perm' yesterday, my hair's been completely squished flat. I wanted to over-do it because my hair always puffs out after a while.
Since the photo shoot for 'r.o.r/s' is coming up and I didn't want to get my hair cut short, I thought it would be nice to have a little change of pace.

Little by Little...

2003/06/28

Though I'm doing 'r.o.r/s' and 'JAM' stuff now, I'm also working little by little on my own solo work.
It looks like an original album release will be slated for next year, but I think something will definitely be released before that.
For some of these songs, I'm planning to somehow do the arrangements 'on my own'.
I can't get into any more detail right now, but I will be doing arrangement even though it's been a long while.
I've done it 1, 2 times before, though, a long, loooonng time ago.
It'll be a long while before the release, but please look forward to it!

3rd MaBIC Chat Session

2003/06/27

Thanks for your hard work!
You know, today... Some people were talking about getting marriage and, well, since they seemed to be middle-aged people it seemed to be a good conversation. Afterwards, we talked about the 'Get-Together'...
I had some things to do afterwards, so we had to cut the chat down to an hour (usually, it lasts a little longer, I think, since so many things go on...). It was very interesting.

I also had an appointment to do a photo shoot for r.o.r/s, and I saw a lot of terrific picture designs.
Chihii and I are now in the process of picturing ourselves in those pictures and seeing how we like it.
Well, since there are only 2 people to consider, I hope we can make it to fit our personalities.

Today I Went to Mieno Hitomi-chan's...

2003/06/22

10th anniversary concert. With Ishida Youko-chan. It was held in Harajuku's Astro Hall, and when we went in, I saw a lot of people from many different anime press magazines.
Youko-chan and I got halfway into the concert hall and watched as part of the audience. Usually, I'm the one on the stage looking down at the audience, but today I got to be part of the crowd and view things from the audience's perspective, and I jumped and cheered and whooped a lot.
Hitomi is a very good MC.
She has a certain charm that grabbed everyone's hearts and wouldn't let go...
This concert helped me a lot in many ways.
And, on the way home, I grabbed a bite to eat with Youko-chan and we talked for a bit, then I came home.

r.o.r/s ('Rors')

2003/06/21

I showed up as a guest on Chihii's radio show!
'r.o.r/s' is roaring through the summer!!
Please show your support!

It's hot... (>~<)

2003/06/19

Today, I got to look up at a nice blue sky after a long time of overcast, but then it turned terribly, terribly hot. On this kind of day, air conditioners are on full-force everywhere you look. I wonder if there won't be any power outages...
In the middle of all this heat, an inspection team came to my apartment complex.
For a long while before this, some of the tenants had been complaining about hearing some kind of strange noise from a motor. So the inspectors shut off all the power and did a thorough check of the whole place.
As it was in the middle of the day, I decided to grab some soba at a place near my home, so I left the air conditioner on until the very last second, then went out my door 5 minutes before they started their inspection. Then, after I got onto the elevator, immediately, I heard a BAM! and, at the same time, the electricity went out. Inside the elevator, everything turned pitch-black. (T_T)
I screamed for a second... Then the emergency lights came on.
Together with that malfunction, I've had quite a few things happen to me in that apartment complex....

TD

2003/06/17

Today, we finished up our unit's main song.
...And so, I've been staying out all night long.
Right now it's 4:43 AM on the 18th.
I have dark circles under my eyes.
My contacts are glued to my eyeballs...

But everything's now preeeeetty much done!
I'll have the release date, title, and other details up in a little while!

Fan Get-Together '03

2003/06/15

Finally, we've been able to organize a fan get-together! Since there have been a lot of things going on lately, it was delayed until summer. Up til now, we've done things like a 'Bowling Meet' and a 'Acoustic Live Concert' and such; but this time, since I like to travel, we'll be doing a 'Mini-Trip Bus Tour.' And, since we've always held all our events in Tokyo, we've decided for this to go to 5 different places all across the country. The kindness that the staff and fans showed me when I traveled to Sapporo and Fukuoka for the 'Angel's voice' in-store events has always stayed with me, so I decided to include Sapporo and Fukuoka in the bus tour.
Of course, Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka will be destinations, too!

I Want to Change...

2003/06/12

...my hairstyle or something.
I'm thinking about changing it back to my short hairstyle.
But the thing is... longer hair is easier to arrange...
Well, since I have that unit with Chihii, I guess I'll leave it as is just to be safe (my hair, that is).
Besides, if I cut it short, I might be stepping on Rica-chan's territory in JAM... [1] (=^~^=)

notes :
[1] (Matsumoto) Rica is the only other female member in JAM, and she has fairly short hair. ^_^

Today with Chihii

2003/06/09

We recorded our unit songs!! (For the single)
We did the recording at a studio in the city. It was very 'norinori' (is that word still in use...?) [1]. Even after coming home, I feel very elated. I can't wait until everyone gets to hear the songs...

Oh, right.
At this certain studio, a certain female singer showed up. I only saw her from the back, but I think it might have been a very precious experience.

notes :
[1] 'Norinori' is a kind of slang term for 'exciting.'

2nd Chat Session!

2003/06/08

It ended without a problem!!
I thought about the event after it concluded, and how much it was. I think I'll do some practicing on my keyboard in preparation for our next chat session.
I'm off to eat dinner now. (^-^)/***
Tomorrow I'm meeting Chihii for work!

2nd Chat Session

2003/06/07

Tomorrow is the 'Second MaBIC Chat Session'.
The prizewinner has been decided!!
For reasons like 'I want to do a chat,' or 'I want to be a part of a meeting for fans,' many new people have signed up to come.
Really, thank you so much!
Well now, what will we talk about? It would be OK to do something like a focused discussion or something... That will give us a chance to experience the full range of possibilities. |(-o-)|

Yesterday...

2003/06/03

I did as part of the chorus for someone else. Tomorrow, I have something with JAM. I'll write in my diary about what we did, as always.
It's almost time to start up the unit with Yonekura-san. I've been readying my body and my heart for this summer.
It was really hot again today...
