DAYS OF STUDIO REHEARSALS

Hi, this is Kazuki who had been said cute like a fairy till I was five.

 

We had the event “WOWFES” yesterdayyyy!

Thank you for comiiing!!

We played only a single song, but

I really enjoyed iiiit!

The first play of “Frame!”

Did you like it?

By the way, the today’s photo shows the back stage!

You can find the photo on the official mobile site.

The faces are a kind of blackout, so we use the flumpool board instead of amosaic mask.

And, we have a rehearsal today!

The tour members assembled after so long.

Really excited!

I’ll do my best with flailing at the guitar!!

After Seeing “Bloody Monday”

The scale and the world view are so great and

I felt as if I saw a movie.

The drama is so exciting that

I can’t take my eyes off the TV screen.

I’m gonna see it in real time every week.

After Seeing “Bloody Monday”

Who is us, and who is them…

I was drawn to the storyline

betraying us, the viewer in a good way.

It is breathtaking from the beginning to the end.

I like it very much.

I’m gonna see it next and every week.

Those who didn’t see it, don’t miss itttt.

After Seeing “Bloody Monday”

I usually don’t watch dramas.

But this drama was so exciting

that I wanna see every week.

I got a shiver up my spine

when the theme song

“Over the Rain-Hikari no Hashi” was played.

I look forward to the drama every week.

SEEING MOVIE

Hi, this is Kazuki who’s scared sooo easily, and wearing earplugs while seeing horror films.

I had time yesterday, so I went to a movie after sooo long!!

I saw Biohazard.

It was really interesting.

But, I had the earplugs…, of course.

Because it scars me.

Think of it.

Isn’t it uncool that a guy who’s showing off so much, crossing the legs, crossing the arms, and wearing 3D glasses is suddenly frightened.

Countdown

Hi, this is Kazuki, a live-action version of Furby.

Finally at 19:00 tomorrow,

the distribution of the ringtone of

“Over the Rain-Hikari no Hashi” will staaart.

I’m gonna download earlier than everyone else.

You guys, fight me!!

Bring it oooon.

Well, well, do you know au* limited version of

our first mini-album “Unreal” (on sale on November 19)?

The special cell-phone strap of LISMO** is so cute.

Orders should be placed by October 20.  So, don’t miss it!

By the way, I, who is becoming a Internet otaku**,

am doing nothing but writing a song today.

Hmm.

It is hard to write a nice song, isn’t it?

I’m not good at being thoughtful about writing a song.

A nice song is made,

when I write it without thought.

When “labo” was made,

I was lying on the beeed actually.

I didn’t make it sloppily!

But, surprisingly, a song finished at such time

may be satisfying myseeelf.

So, I’m writing while lying!

Oh!?

Co-mi-ng, co-m-ing!!!!!!!!

I can see the view of all of you being moved to tears.

The “bridge of light****” is coming into my sight.

I wanna let you hear as soon as possible.

You guys, get ready to be happy.

So, your support for years to come is appreciated.

P. S.

Someone talked to me on the street today.

The question was “Where is the Moyai statue*****?”

The god seems to be busy today.

*au is a mobile phone brand.

** LISMO is an online music service provided by au.

Without Break

Hi, this is stoical (i.e., dedicated) Kazuki who has written blogs everyday for two years.

If Kazuki’s blog book were issued, buy one.

Well, I had a lot to do at work yesterday.  It was really difficuuuult.

As difficult as calculating 56 × 73 × 29 × 69 × 41 for three secoooonds.

And, what I did was terribly haaard!!

As terrible as diving off a 20-meter high board into a pool.

And I worked solid without a breaaaak. 

Like having six lessons without a break at schooool.

And, I had a yummy lunch box meaaal.

Such a delicious meal that I thought Zhou Tomitoku* cooked it.

VS

Hi, this is Kazuki who rushes 50 meters in 6s.

Referring to the record when I was in the fifth year of the primary school.

Well, the photo shows the set used yesterday.

You can find the photo on the official mobile site.

I had serious bouts with Genki on the soccer game nearest in the photo.

Genki vs Kazuki.

The winner of the first WorldflumCUP is…!

I won the title!

I beat Genki up!

Then, Ryuta and Seiji vs Kazuki and Genki.

Not “doing fine all life long!*”

The result of the tag-team match for the first team is…

We, Kazuki and Genki are the winner!!

Well, I don’t know whether or not the shot is used anywhere,

but don’t miss it.

And, and, today we’re rehearsing for an event.

Lots of special artists will appear on the stage.

So, I’ll really enjoy itttt!!

Guys who are coming, I hope you will enjoy, too.

Now, the weather is getting better,

so I’m gonna have a nice day todayyyy!!

Translator’s Note

*Kanjis (i.e. the Chinese characters) for Genki and Kazuki are also read as “doing well” and “all life long,” respectively.

Late Debut

Hi, this is Kazuki, the prince of music.

In two days, the drama will start, in which

“Over the Rain-Hikari no Hashi” will be playeeed!!

At 19:00, the start time of the drama,

the distribution of the ringtone will also start.

In association with the TBS drama “Bloody Monday,”

I, who was used to an all mobile person, started using a PC.

So, I’ve connected the PC to the Internetttt!

(Clap, clap)

Awsoooome.

I admireee those who can tap on the PC. 

I admireee those who can write blogs on the PC.

I admireee those who invented a PC.

I’m completely a person in the past!

I’ve completely missed the wave of the day!

Yeah, it took 30 minutes to write up to here.

I’m a PC mania from now.

In an up-to-date language,

“I’m gonna be a PC mania!,” isn’t it?

But,

I’m a real beginner.

So, I really don’t know anything.

What is the key F2 for?

Why are alphabet keys so misaligned?    

Don’t you think so?  That’s strange.

Yeah, it took 55 minutes to write up to here.

I almost get tendonitis in my arms.

Well, well, now it is convenient that

you can write songs on the PC!

That’s the most delightful thing for me.

I can make songs more finely. 

I’m so excited to let you hear.

Just one thing….

I’ve just realized

I can do such work without the Internet connection!

Little painful, isn’t it?

So, I’ll search everything on the Internet.

Thank you guys

who are looking forward to my blogs!

I received lots of messages saying

“The blogs of the guitarist are so funny!” or

“I’m encouraged!”

But, don’t expect so much! (laugh)

I’m freaked out recently.

I get strange sweat while wiring blogs.

Your support for me..  No, no,

your support for flumpool will be appreciated!

Hard Working Day

Hi, this is Kazuki who is saddest when he expected one more karaage-kun* in a package but finds nothing left.

The expectation that I could eat one more…

How are you going to make it uuuup!!!?

That’s often the case with karaage-kun.

I went to see a live show of NICO Touches the Walls** after work yesterdayyyy!!

Next year, we’ll go on a tour together.  Seeing the show inspired me a lot!!

The next year’s tour will be exciteeed!!

Don’t miss it!!

Such a day, I’ve been working from morning todayyyy!!

Typhoon

Hi, this is Kazuki whose position would be Tien Shinhan* if he were in “Dragon Ball**.”

Quite strong wind is blowing, isn’t itttt!!

We have to bind up Seiji.  Otherwise, the strong wind may blow him away!!

In this wind, I’m gonna work hard today, toooo.

The photo is Daiju’s room.
You can find the photo on the official mobile site.

Really nice room, isn’t it?

I can stay for 25 hours in such a nice room.

Awesome!

I’m coming again soon!!

And, it was the airdate of School of Lock*** yesterdayyyy!!

Did you listen to the program?

Did you enjoy it?

Ryuta and I were so nervous and almost cried.

At least, we overcame the stop-of-program-just-for-once situation.

Because we are “floral guards****” now!!

Those who could not listen to the radio don’t understand what I’m talking about, do you?

That’s why I’ll do my best today toooo!

I’ll do my best so that earthquake, thunder, fire, and a big buddy**** do not occur!!

“Over the Rain-Hikari no Hashi”

Hi.

This is Kazuki,

who almost gets the wrong idea that

I’m a funny guy recently.

Cool, Ryuta

Oh, what a cool blog, Ryuta!!

Hooold!?

You guys don’t understand.

The real nice guy is here!

May I tell you

why my face doen’t appear on photos of flumpool?

Actually I’m the well-kept secret!

I’m the ultimate weapon of flumpool!

Well, I wasn’t supposed to

talk like that today!

On October 11, the TBS* drama,

“Bloody Monday**” will start.

Our flumpool’s 2^nd download single,

“Over the Rain-Hikari no Hashi” is used.

This song is spectacular and

the new flumpool’s best ballad ever.

When the work was finished, it gave us goose bumps.

“Isn’t it awesome?”

“Isn’t this song awesome?”

Like that.  Well, in a positive way.

I want you to enjoy this song as soon as possible!

And, and, on 11^th,

the distribution of the ringtone

“Over the Rain-Hikari no Hashi” will start!!

“Isn’t it awesome?”

“It is awesome, isn’t it?”

In a positive way.

I’d be happy if you sympathize with us!

I’ll download it soon!

Enjoy it.

We, all the members enjoy reading your comments.

They turn into our driving force.

Thank you so much!

So I wanted to say!

Why Ryuta jumps in!!?

Ahhhhh!!!

I haven’t found yet the “bridge of light***” for me.

Take Care about Hogweeds*

Hi, this is Kazuki whose composing work doesn’t stop everyday but whose runny nose doen’t stop more.

I started doing work to improve written songs today morning!!

Today, such a beautiful day, but my runny nose gets a warning of heavy rains and flooding.

It’s a disaster without my own tissue box in my bag.

Oh, I’m suffering from hogweeeeds..

Hogweeds?  Hog?  Oink?

I’m a human.
