Hi Aquarius!
I had an idea I wanted to share with you: SAGU creator reader who likes to make little bits and bobs for their acolytes. For example, Childe vaguely mentions that his gloves are starting to wear out? The creator crochets or knits him a new pair-Can’t have his fingers getting chilled in the Snezneyan snow now can we?
(I just wanna give my skrunklis lil gifts and make them happy is all :3)
(Also, could I possibly be 💌anon?)
WHOFOHNJDFjhkbfsgddf Genuine keyboard slam i just kinda slammed my hands down in excitement ahem-
That would be a lovely idea anon, yes very much so indeed,
so im like hella into giving ppl useful but still aesthetic/pretty gifts, like i dont want the things i give ppl to be things that get donated/thrown away (when i genuinely care abt a person)
Also IF I DIDNT RUN U OFF FOR BEING SO LATE YES HELLO U CAN DEFINITELY BE 💌 ANON THATS SO CUTE I LOVE THAT EMOJI-

EDIT 9/19/23: WTF HELLO??!!! 1000+ NOTES??!?! THANK YOU SO MUCH?!!!!!! <3
PART 1 (you're here!) / PART 2
ELEMENTS HERE: Babygirls, Pyro, Electro, Anemo
☆
Babygirls:
Aether = The most beautiful, amazing, sleek, and functional pretty hairpin that is also a knife! So he can have that badass moment of unsheathing it from his hair and having a surprise weapon and showing off his long hair, acted all shy when you gave it to him, he doesn’t get gifts often, all the birthday letters were for you afterall, i feel like you deffo have walked in on him miming taking it out all badass for practice lol
Lumine = bless her, you handed her this gift and she just looked up at you and u swear didnt blink or look away for a full minute. Then she nearly crushed you to death squeezing you, god she’s muscular, as you made a sort of self-care kit, including her favorite scents you added to like blank soaps/face masks, and towels you initialed with “Lumi”, she deserves a break afterall (and she thinks you deserve it too, and subtly tries to get you to join like *“*oh this is so sweet, something for us to do together”)
Dainsleif = sad little man deserves happy little things, you make him a weighted blanket, in these blankets it’s usually like sand or something that is put into little like quilt squares so it evenly distributes weight, but you used that water from the fountain that soothes Khaenri’ah people’s curse instead. He literally went speechless when you gave it to him. He has not had a single night of insomnia since. He would literally do anything for you, and literally stole you off to the side after a few nights of good sleep to tell you this lmao
Pyro Allogenes:
Diluc = Another bitch who just needs a break, you steal him off one evening and tell him you need a hilichurl camp wiped out, and there’s a cryo mage so you need him, bc thats the only way this workaholic is actually gonna drop everything and actually take care of himself, you have to deceive him, and then surprise him by showing him a hot spring you found. Teyvat has a lot more things to it now that it’s in real life, and that includes natural hot springs apparantly, and you’ve already prepped the place too, with his favorite non-alcoholic drinks, some indulgent foods like chocolate and fruits, and a soft robe. Man’s went wide eyed and nearly fell in LMAO, and then, looking away all pink, said he couldn’t accept this… unless you joined him.
Amber = a pair of comfy shoes, with baron bunny decorated all over them, like you sewed patches over them to personalize it, and the insoles are GODLY good, so she can run to Sumeru at this rate and her feet will feel like she went for a light jog! Some Mondstadt citizens, and knights tbh, are honestly a little afraid of Amber now bc her feet aching was sometimes the only thing stopping her from going 100% all the time lol
Bennett = a lucky charm, yes, yes, I know, basic, but it’s different coming from you! You’ve given him a bandana to wear as a neckerchief around his throat (it’s unprotected and he’s that unlucky?!) and it fits great, you’ve made it from Liyue materials, and imbued it with geo energy, so it actually makes a small shield/barrier around his head lmao, he’s practically thanking you every week and telling you how it helped him that week 💀
Klee = a treasure hunt map you made! every little stop/treasure gives her some candy or a snack, plus the next instructions, and she insists you go with her, and drags you along lol, and you planted them within range of the Mondstadt so she’s not too far off, and the final treasure (bc u planned it so she was supposed to start at a certain time/get to the end in a few hours) she finds at late sunset, and it’s a type of challenge that u were able to make, (bc apparently being the “highest god” means u get dev access, like the teapot functions but more OP). It makes a rainbow of glowing fish appear as targets to better Klee’s bomb throwing skills, and to entertain her, she gives the most dramatic gasp ever, and is just vibrating telling you “The fishes! They’re so pretty! ‘Bedo said that you give the greatest gifts, and he was so, so, so SO right!! Thank you very much!!!” :D in her cute little voice and then proceeds to speedrun you a hug and then starts throwing bombs lmao
Xiangling = HOO BOY- she has nearly every cooking utensil known to man, thanks to her being a young famous chef, and bc her family’s restaurant makes good money bc of it, so it was hard to think of something for her, but you eventually made her a handwritten and sewn together recipe book (look up “how to make zine”, its very easy actually, theres one with sewing the paper and a smaller one with just folding). It’s full of all of your favorites from Earth and what you think could substitute here, and how it should taste. Xiangling literally took your hands and spun you bc she hates luxury stuff, and really loves and appreciates homemade gifts, it’s the first anyone’s heard of your homeworld’s food so it makes her feel special <3 (she will be constantly harassing you with a spoonful of food to try and see if it’s close)
Hu Tao = You remembered one of Shakespeare’s plays and wrote a rough screenplay for Yunjin to adapt, then took Hu Tao with you to see it! She loves poetry and singing, so she loves to see Yunjin play usually, but she hadn’t had the time lately bc of funeral spirit work, (u also brought Zhongli so she could have fun embarrassing him lol), and she literally made a whole bit/joke about getting down on one knee to marry you, which was promptly interrupted by said embarrassed adepti, people even clapped lmao
Xinyan = You made her an aweinspiring outfit to wear onstage, modeled after classic rockstars from your world, she nearly teared up at the sight of it, and then nearly took ur ear out bc she was getting so loud and excited, u try to convince her otherwise, but Xinyan refuses to wear it outside of big occasions like Lantern Rite or performances with Yunjin (looks like this, I tried very hard ok, check it: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/76631631152377154/)
Yanfei = Once again, a written book, or at least 20 rap songs for her to look through. This sounds weird, but she eventually hopes to see a future where people are just better at obeying laws and considers then she’d be out of a job. So, after seeing some of Xinyan’s performances, she decided her back up career would be a rapper. She will literally stop you every time she sees you and lowkey force you to hear her latest rap she’s made, partially inspired from the Earth ones you gave her a lot of the time! She literally talked your ear off for hours, and didnt realize that she linked arms with you at one point and made you both walk at least 3 miles around the port lol, very embarrassed but grateful for the gift, another person who really adores homemade stuff
Thoma = you sewed him a cute plushie of Taromaru, along with a little plushie tea cup set. He literally covered his mouth in shock, and turned away, were those tears?? Very carefully took his gift and nearly bent in half bowing and thanking you for the gift, and was cutely touchy all day, linking arms, guiding you by gently nudging your back in crowds, etc. You once woke him up out a day nap on accident trying to find him, and he walked out half-asleep clutching the plushie Taromaru and nearly jumped a foot in the air at the sight of you lol, all like “HIGH EMPEROR?! OH MY- Oh my gods- Uh- sorry, so sorry about that!” and then proceeds to immediately hide Taro behind his back all red in the face lmao, refuses to acknowledge it, will get even redder if you keep pressing him about it lol
Yoimiya = so Yoimiya canonically really loves to go out into nature and explore, and go for that sunset hike type of person! so you, once again assume all these thru tutorial or teyvat craftsmen help, made her a hammock! She’s apparently really bad about falling asleep outside, and since hammocks can be really lightweight and good for temperate weather (ive tried it, sleepin in a hammock for camping its kinda nice, as long as you dont fall out/toss and turn a lot in ur sleep), and you even added some extra ropes on the sides so she can tie it down and not upend herself while she’s sleeping (keeps the hammock from tilting). She literally squealed and dragged u all over Inazuma trying it out with you, and because she chats with her neighbors/community a lot, EVERYONE KNOWS YOU GOT HER A HAMMOCK, YOU PAINTED IT AND EVERYTHING, DID YOU KNOW YOIMIYA IS ONE OF THE ALLOGENES THAT GOT BLESS WITH A PERSONAL GIFT FROM THE ALL-GOD??!! - everyone in Inazuma near her house, including yoimiya
Dehya = so Dehya likes to upkeep personal hygiene as much as she can between her mercenary job roughness and the general battery of the desert. She also is known to stop by the market place to pick up makeup and other personal hygiene products! So you figured if she’s collected so many of those over time, she might just have a practical bag to carry them in, and you offer her a multi-pocket cloth bag (like for taking makeup when you travel bags) and also attach a mirror inside! She literally covered her face with her hands and Dunyazard lightly teased her for weeekkssss lmao, and the other guys in her mercenary group like “wowww, someone managed to tame the Flame Mane?” which just makes her more shy bc the God of ALL decided to HANDMAKE her a gift, and not just a frilly thing, an ACTUAL USEFUL PRETTY GIFT- she accidentally set her claymore alight when you finished explaining what it was and handed to her (it’s fireproof too)
Electro Allogenes:
Lisa = a decorated tea set! Specifically, you painted it her favorite color, with some of her favorite book quotes across the saucers and her favorite flowers across the teapot. She gave you the prettiest smile, and just “Oh cutie! For little old me? You’re a bit above a librarian like me, but I’ll still accept this with all the grace of a lady courted, haha!” insists on “trying them out” with you all the time, especially when you get too busy from the other allogenes <3
Fischl (they/them Fischl supremacy) = You made a book cover (like how some books will have the paper sleeve and the actual hardcover is just colored? like that) of Prinzessin der Verteilung, but looking a lot more like them rather then the old protagonist! They collectively lost their mind over it for literal weeks, and did the same for you for your most relatable protagonist! :D They insist you two start a fantasy book club now- NO they don’t care if you’re the All Fürst! That makes you all the more qualified for joining the elite literature society they’re starting!
Razor = a bunch of hair ties! You’ve made scrunchies, bows, clips, etc. for him to try and decorate his hair with, all of things he likes, like little wolf puppies, or Andrius’ but cuteified, little symbols of all his friends like little bomb design hairclips for Klee, a red four leaf clover for Benny, a purple rose for Lisa, a golden star for the traveler, and an eight pointed star, like the four-pointed one but with some flare in between its points. A prominent symbol apparently associated with you u found out :0, Razor is giving Barbara and Klee a run for their money bc of how cute he looks walking into town for Lisa’s lessons with all this cute little clips and hair ties and braids in his hair now <3
Keqing = you know. you know EXACTLY what to give her. Plushies of cute animals or creatures in or around Liyue, like the little snow foxes from Dragonspire, a tiny oceanid, the small geovishaps, etc. Keqing doesn’t care if you’re a god, remember! So you better swear to never tell a soul you made her these!! ���she sleeps with them too.
Raiden Shogun (puppet) = what to give a cold hard b*tch? …a break. you talk to Ei and make her give the puppet some off days, and you also may or may not have bullied Ei for being a hermit, so she can explore and learn more about herself, instead of being forced into the image, literally, of her god. She tries to write you months in advance for making plans on her days off so you can join her!
Ei (god) = an open window bc she’s a hermit, i mean of course you bring her out on “updates” (she weirdly choked a little over tea when you presented this idea to her, “Ahem- cough- a date? Oh, as in getting more familiar with the world, yes of course,” you basically pull out a map and take her to other countries so she can see how the other gods are doing these days and finally do something new, she is overwhelmed but in a good way? And she's especially willing to do it if you keep calling them that, these “up-dates”
Yae Miko = you were honestly kind of intimidated by giving Yae Miko a handmade gift, it just seemed like she would like something of high quality, which your gifts weren’t always guaranteed to be. So instead, you didn’t. You made a cool little picnic, and in remembering her love of stories from her lore as a kid, you brought some of your world’s stories to show her, the classics, then any favorites of yours, and some you thought she might like, and read them all to her about once a week. You both talk about and discuss the book and let Yae nitpick it and try to give her more context for books like Shakespeare in hope to answer all her detailed questions about the stories. Yae was so fucking smug (and secretly so in love) that she wrote a story for Yae Publishing House about it… “Joining a Book Club with the Akitsu Mikami, a Romance Novel” 💀
Sara = damn another busy woman, you steal her away with the promise of “needing a body guard” and she immediately answers and drops everything (u made sure to choose a slow day, dw ur not a rude god) andddd you’ve got her! Sara literally just stood there in shock when you showed up at your meeting place with homecooked food, specifically new recipes from your world, and some recipes from Xiangling! She would not stop stuttering out thanks yous the entire time, and fumbled with her chopsticks constantly, and she ate a lot, and even shyly asked if she could take some of it with her for later, now anytime you mention food around her she unintentionally starts looking at you with puppy dog eyes, (baby crow eyes??) even if the rest of her posture is perfect/gives nothing away lol
Beidou = A hand woven wine cask holder! a bit more solid so you can paint some designs on it, and you painted the whole crew, with Kazuha in the crow’s nest and Beidou is the biggest figure on it (stylized, u arent trying to paint a renaissance artwork here) and you even put her name on it “Captain Beidou” :) You were rewarded with a tall muscular woman squeezing you with her muscular arms, Beidou only puts her best wine/sake bottle in it, and only uses it for special occasions! she may or may not have had to make sure and hide it in her Captain’s quarters so other pirates won’t steal it, since everybody on the seas heard about the All Mighty giving her a personalized gift, but dont worry! She’s a pirate captain, she’s used to defending her most prized treasures from others <3
Shinobu = a spa day for another overworking woman, you made her another mask and hair tie! They still match her of course, but they also subtly have that eight point star symbol you’ve had associated with yourself before (like the four point but with a little flare), and she literally went so red, she hid behind Itto for a second. who helped morally support her enough to try it on, and it’s definitely her most comfortable mask!
Cyno = you were a little… embarrassed to make this one, but Cyno mentioned wanting it so… You made a TCG card of yourself. With the world in your hands as you hover in the middle of a solar system, you paint yourself giving a small smile down at Teyvat’s world cupped in your hands. One of the symbols they associate with you, the eight pointed star, not equal points, but rather a four pointed star with embellishments, said symbol glows and dangles from a necklace you wear, above it all. You swear he stared at it for a solid minute without blinking, and when you initially offered it, Cyno held it like it was spun glass. He gently laid it on a table nearby, his eyes never leaving it as he got out his deck, and put the card of you, on the very top. The mahamatra then gently set it down, and then gently hugged you and picked you up off your feet a bit (when you said maybe you were too heavy for this, he just raised an eyebrow, and that’s when you remembered that trailer of him throwing a body-builder man, one-armed, over his shoulder. He easily lifted you and set you back down. 💀)
Dori = A herb garden. Strange, but Dori’s sister has a lot of medical issues, and the herbs can be hard to come by, even for Dori, you didn’t tell her that you read some parts of her life, but when she saw the planter box, she knew. You had ventured far and wide, all over Teyvat, and the stuff you had came with you! so you put one of every herb you had or went out and got some because you’ve been exploring Teyvat anyway. And for once… you made sure no one was around, Dori teared up. She carefully set the box full of lively plants aside, and you were in the middle of explaining how to take care of them when she just, wrapped her smaller frame around your lower legs. You squatted down to hug her back :’)
Anemo Allogenes:
Venti = another book you made (look up “how to make a zine” on youtube it’s actually kinda easy) that you filled with all the lyrics to all your favorite songs, and some classics! The bard was ecstatic because he technically had vague knowledge or recognition of most of Teyvat’s songs, but songs from another world didn’t count, hehe! …he may or may not have lightly guilt-tripped you into trying to sing or hum some of the tunes or melodies of the songs, “I need to hear the melody so I may play it for you for eternity, your highness!” That’s his gift back, is that now you can get a Venti medieval sounding cover version of any song you like lmao
Sucrose = you’ve made another book (bought in Teyvat or made, check out “how to make a zine” on youtube it’s easy so I think you could feasibly handmake it!) and filled it with as much information as you can on how things like electricity works, luckily you can still retrieve information from Earth thanks to Albedo managing to somehow get you a signal?? You don’t wanna know, but point is, she’s literally spiraling. It’s been days, Albedo had to be the one to drag her out of the lab and eat, while you are starting to doubt if your gift did more harm then help… as soon as you voice these thoughts to Sucrose she nearly shook your head off from shaking your shoulders so hard while she ranted about phones, telephone poles, paved roads and she actually offered books back in exchange, for leveling allogenes up, as long as you told her more about “Those ships that go underwater again?? Please, Your Highness???” cute puppy dog eyes but worse bc she’s got cute glasses on too, oh no-
Jean = another workaholic woman who just needs a break, god why are there so many of them?? Your first thought was a spa day, but you like to think you can do better than that. In fact, she’s had a pretty heavy load since she was a kid trying to uphold the Gunnhildr clan’s name/knighthood, so you decide that instead of spa day, you should have a fun day! So you decide to take her out some days for some fun around Mondstadt (and recruit Venti to help do things like boost the winds for extra fun), like shield surfing! (look up Breath of the Wild shield surfing video if you dont know what i mean), it's something a lot of young knights do, and it’s perfect for Mondstadt’s hilly landscape! Other things like flying kites, or even rerouting all her work for part of the Windblume festival so she could enjoy it more! THEN you kidnap her all over again, and Barbara, to go to Fontaine! What better way for her to have genuine fun than getting a break to see and have fun with her younger sister and go see a colorful circus/fair? Jean was literally just a constant stream of “thank you your majesty! my gracious god, thank you- this is too much-, All-Fürst I am forever indebted to you for this!” and ur just like :/ Jean that’s the whole point of a gift is that you aren’t indebted to somebody-
Xiao = a friendship bracelet :) since he likes jewelry, and he likes you, it's perfect! and u made it match his necklace. you’ve also put that same water from the fountain that soothes the Khaenri’ah’s curse, and put it in there, and it actually lessens his karma, so for the first time in about 2 centuries, Xiao the Yaksha, can actually sleep through the night. You weren’t looking, but when you turned away to show him your sketches or plans for how to craft it, he sort of, reached out. You felt his hand warm on your wrist before it retreated, you could already feel the callouses, as the small weight of a bracelet was wrapped around your hand, his return gift, so u guys could match 👉👈 Xiao breathes out what sounds like all those years of pain in one shaky, relieved, “…thank you” (he did all that while you were turned around in your bag too, he was too shy to look at you when he put it on lmao)
Kazuha = “So this is what you’ve been up to lately, hm?” Kazuha’s been kind and laidback enough that he’s one of the allogenes who quickly dropped the formal titles luckily. He’s been seeing you sneak around and present your gifts to the others… and he came prepared in case you came to give him something too! Before you can even get out, “Hey, Kazuha, do you have a minute? I’ve got something for y-” boom. He’s beat you to it, he’s saying the same damn thing, and pulling out his gift for you. It’s a lovely Inazuman outfit, decked out in your favorite color, it’s like if you were an Inazuman character yourself- You just accept it half in shock, while Kazuha gives this small smile, but u can see the smug little look in his eyes, that little shit he really prepared a countermove- HE EVEN WROTE YOU REALLY SWEET POETRY AND EMBROIDERED IT INTO SOME OF THE INSIDE HEM LINES LIKE THE COLLAR -//////- ← you rn as Kazu’s all fucking smug, you end up just being like “take ur crummy gift u little shit” and nearly throw it at him lol, sweet asshole that he is, catches it anyway, and you’ve made him new hair ties, some minimal clips that look like maple leaves (like felt fabric stuck onto the clip bit) and the new hairtie is more like a scrunchie with a pretty red knot on top, your own symbol of an eight-pointed star, like an extra four-pointed star not the star of david lmao, sits in the center of the traditional japanese knot. He wears it nearly all the time, and mentions making you one to match (>:/ sweet considerate little shit he is)
Sayu = you’ve made her a quilt! stitched together from all sorts of cute fabrics, so it still matches her color scheme, she wraps up in it now before going into that balled up tanuki form lol, she insists you break it in with her and take a nap with her constantly lmao, and you give in even if you dont always sleep because of her tiny half-asleep smile (sayu knows the grip she has on you lol💔)
Heizou = a mystery novel a friendship necklace! you knew him and his friend had once had something similar, (they were more like matching river rocks or pebbles not jewelry you think) so you desperately hoped it wouldn’t be too offensive. The little shit who saw it coming #2, whereas Kazuha suspected you might offer him something, he didn’t have quite the same intution that Heizou did, so the detective knew you were going to give him something >:/ little snitch- he was so smug and teasing about it right up until he actually saw the necklace, it draped lower so it didnt look weird with his choker, and it was a pretty crystal you’d gotten from a riverbed (you didnt tell Heizou bc of the similarity w/his old friend, but he knew anyway) and he immediately looked the most serious you’ve ever seen him. His grin was less of a smirk and more of a smile when he processed what you gave him, and he wears it all the time :) Calls it his "God blessed good luck charm"
Scara/Wanderer = It was very hard, and you had to learn how from a blacksmith, but you finally got it! You made a small addon that latches onto the outside frame of his Vision, so instead of the sort of teardrop shape it has, you’ve made a heart shape. Since he sees the vision as his heart, you thought it’d be cute to actually see it that way! He was all like “I don’t wear jewelry, I already have some metal holding my Vision, are you trying to embarrass me?” You: “okay, well you don’t have to keep it, I’ll take it back-” Scara: “No? Shut up it’s mine now.” He went pink the first time he put it on, and he only wears it when it’s just you two, or you both and Nahida (bless her, she only lightly teased him, just enough to have him yell a little, not enough to discourage him)
Faruzan = a compass that points towards ruins/magical places, so she can explore all the ruins the desert has to give, and also, more importantly, guides her out, you deffo relied on a blacksmith for this one, and got Nahida to help you add the magic to it. She just got this, soft and bittersweet? look on her face, and redirected the nostalgic look towards you, bowed gently and thanked you, … you offered her a hug. Faruzan accepted, and you could feel the way she exhaled, relieved.

The Freedom of Expression - Vol:16 - Spring (2023/03/25)
(*This is a very long post, so to summarize the topics discussed quickly:
•Baseball/ The WBC
•Hanami/Cherry Blossom viewing
•Kaoru's dislike of chalkboards
•First Meetings - Kaoru tells a fun story about this.
•Spring Songs
•Moving house - Kaoru talks about dealing with cockroaches, and house sharing with Kyo.*)
K: Ok, here we are getting started with The Freedom of Expression on our Niconama channel. Im Kaoru from Dir en grey.
J: Im Joe Yokomizo.
T: And Im Tasai from Tokyo Sports.
*applause*
J: Well, everyone's writing cherry blossom emojis in the comments.
K: Yeh, its already blossoming, right?
J: It did seem to be at full bloom, but then with the rain it might already be starting to fall.
K: Ah, yeh, maybe. Actually, today its cold all of a sudden, isn't it?
J: It is, yeh.
K: It was really warm until yesterday, but today I even have to wear a leather jacket.
J: Yeah, you need it to keep the cold out.
K: But then Tasai is here dressed like that! *points to Tasai* You came from home like this??
J: Hahaha
T: Yeh, I was so cold.
K: I bet you were!
J: Its weird...Out in the dressing room he was saying he was cold, so I told him to put a jacket on, and he was like, 'No, I came here like this'.
K: You must have felt cold when you left home though?
J: Its not even a little bit warm today!
T: Yeah, but I thought I would be ok. I mean, on the way to the station I saw a woman wearing a coat, and I had a moment of doubt, but then I thought, 'No no, I can do this'.
J: Cause its already evening, right? By the time we finish this, it'll be really cold. And you've gotta go home like that.
T: Yeh, I havn't got the hang of this adulting thing yet.
J: Adulting thing, haha.
K: Haha
J: Im not sure if thats really the issue here, haha. Well, today, its just the three of us again at long last, but I should ask you Kaoru, and Tasai, as you both like baseball...the WBC was on until last Thursday, right? Did you watch it? How was it?
K: Did YOU watch it?
J: No, I didn't even watch a second of it!
K: Haha, I thought so.
J: I can't say anything about it, but I figured you two could. So, did you watch it?
K: Yes, yes, I did.
T: Of course we did!
J: Did you watch all the Japan games?
K: Yeah.
T: Yes
J: Well, I should ask who played well etc, but..
T: Ok, Joe, do you know this...what pose was trending during the WBC?
J: Oh, a lot of people were doing this. This twisting motion (*twists fists one on top of the other*?). What is this?
T: Its...strangling the eel (*or something, I dunno, haha*)
K: Hahaha
J: No way, haha, the Samurai Japan team wouldn't do that.
T: Haha, like squeezing an eel.
J: I mean, that is quite Japanese though. What actually is that pose though?
T: Don't you know? Its like grinding pepper. Like with a peppermill.
J: Why are they doing a grinding pepper pose?
K: Yeh, why? I dont actually know either.
T: Well, you know the player, Laars Nootbar? He's part Japanese, he's really likeable.
J: Oh yeh, I've seen him.
T: His mother is from Higashi-matsuyama city. But anyway, its his move. The meaning behind it is grinding, like making a big effort, and doing a perfect job. For example, you can do this action to congratulate someone who tried hard and did well. So Nootbar uses this pose, and its just started trending in Japan.
J: I see. Hey, lets do something like that for this show, for when we have fun conversations.
K: Like what?
J: I don't know. Viewers can give us suggestions in the comments about what pose they want us to do.
K: Haha, no no, this was your idea, you think of something!
J: Ahh, I can't think of anything of the spot. But for people who didn't watch the WBC, just give us your highlights. Who played well, the best moments, etc.
T: Lets hear Kaoru's thoughts.
J: Yes, Leader first.
K: Wellll...of course Ohtani was memorable. But for me personally, I think Yoshida did well.
T: Ohh, from the Red Socks.
J: What did you like about Yoshida.
K: Well, he hit when I wanted him to.
T: He was great. Especially in the game against Mexico, he got 3 home runs. And he could hit even a perfect pitch. He was amazing.
K: Even when they used to play at Tokyo Dome, Ohtani and others would hit regular home runs and get the crowd excited, but Yoshida would just hit the ball right out of the stadium.
T: Yeh, if we didn't have him...
K: If we didn't have him, it would have been tough.
J: Japan might not even have won, or might not have even made it to the final?
K: Yeah...well, that goes for all the other players too.
J: Well, yeah.
T: All the players were very active, right?
K: Yeah, but there was also that special 'Goodbye' at the end of the semi-final.
J:...I have no idea about any of this.
K: I cried a bit with Murakami at the end. He hadn't hit anything until then, it was like, 'What is this guy doing??'
T: Do you know who Murakami is, Joe?
J: I don't know who he is, but I've seen the news that he had been playing in bad shape, and some people wanted him replaced etc. But I don't know where he's from, or what was actually going on, or anything like that.
T: He plays for Yakult.
J: Oh right.
T: He won a triple crown
K: Yeh, he is the youngest to get it.
T: He's had 56 home runs.
J: Haha, Tasai, why are you sitting like that all of a sudden. Oh look, someone commented, 'I thought Murakami was like a god'. Amazing. Lots if people watched it. So, Murakami was great?
T: All the players did great though.
K: Yeah, they all did.
J: Ive heard people telling me the manager was great too. Whats his name again, Kuriyama? What do you think, Kaoru?
K: Well, yeh, he had faith in the players.
T: Yeh, he is the type to throw his support under the players to raise them up, as opposed to pulling them up from above.
K: He would have been criticized for this method if the team had lost though.
J: Yeah, people would have said he should have been more strict. Ahh, it all depends on the result.
K: Yeah, thats it.
J: Well, anyway, they won. What do you think? Lets hope for more of this when the pro-baseball season starts this Spring?
K: Yeh, it starts next week.
J: How is it gonna be this year?
K: I think it'll be interesting.
J: If anything, the amount of baseball fans will have increased after the WBC.
K: Yeah, baseball is gaining more fans every year. Its great.
T: I think they will keep increasing too. Oh, and then this year, the Tigers have Okada as their manager. They are aiming for THAT*, right? (*Translated from the japanese word アレ meaning 'that thing', which is pronounced 'ah-re', and written as 'are' in roman script)
K: Oh yeh, THAT.
J: What? I don't understand.
K: You know, THAT.
J: THAT...
K: A-R-E, 'アレ'(THAT)
J:...A-R-E...?
K: Its the team slogan.
J: Really? I had no idea! Why A-R-E?
K: You know, THAT/アレ!
T:The only thing a player in yellow can aim for!
J: ...To win?
T, K: Just THAT/'アレ'!
J: THAT?
K: Yes, everyone is aiming for it!
T: Look at the comments!
J: Oh yeh. Everyone knows what this is??.A-R-E, is it like the english word 'are'?
K: No, just アレ(THAT).
T: Of course its THAT!
J: Tasai you are scary today.
T: Haha, its cause I didn't sleep last night.
J: You've been acting weird today!
T: Joe, you are still on air, haha.
J: Ok, ok, well, both of you enjoyed the WBC, but for the show today we'd like viewers to send in lots of messages. Anything is fine, ideas, opinions, suggestions, send them in. If you are using Twitter, you can use the tag TFOE. The first part of this show is free for anyone to watch, but the second part is for members only. If you become a member, you can watch this broadcast in the archive for one year, and we also have extra videos for members only. So please use the link at the top of the screen to become a member and watch to the end. Ok, so today, Leader, we have this chalk board behind us, with various phrases written on it. Its already Spring!....Well, its already Summer for Tasai...
T: Yeh, I saw a comment about this, so I'll just show you my tshirt.
K: Ah, its our Phalaris shirt.
J: Yeh, but I wore that already on here!
K: Haha, there's no need for.....Ok guys, thats enough...(*gestures to break up fight between J and T*) Thank you, thank you, I appreciate it, haha.
J: Haha, its a fight over who loves Dir en grey more!
K: Hahaha
J: Ok, so today we're gonna be talking about all these Spring topics that are written on the chalk board behind us. Oh, there we go, we have a close up of it. Leader, could you read out the topics for us?
K: Yes, 'Graduation', 'Starting school', 'Hanami', 'Spring songs', 'New starts', 'Food you want to eat in Spring', 'Spring Clothes', 'April Fools'....'Moving house'
J: No, hold on, hold on...haha. Leader, you missed that one right in the middle!
K: Haha, 'April Birthday'.
J: Yes, but who's?!
K: 'Joe Yokomizo's April Birthday', haha.
J: Thats right, thank you. haha
T: Were you born in April?
J: Yes
T: Which day? Must be the 1st, right?
J: No no, the 8th. Its the same day as the Buddha's birthday.
K: Ohh, thats a shame for the Buddha.
J: Haha, don't be like that! You should be celebrating!
K: Haha, ok, next...'Sports Days (Recently, some schools hold Sports Day in Spring)'....Oh, ok, yeh...., and then, 'Koshien', and, 'First meetings'.
J: Thank you. Ok, so we'll discuss some of these topics, so if you see any you'd like us to choose, please write them in the comments. If anything really stands out in the comments, we'll go with that.
T: So, its really up to the viewers?
J: Yes, the viewers can get involved. This is really how niconama works. Ok, someone suggested Spring songs...
T: Joe Yokomizo...
J: Koshien...Hanami...
T: We could talk about them all.
J: Haha, yeh....Moving house...
T: Lots of people saying Spring songs.
J: Yeh, is Spring songs the most popular? Oh, maybe Hanami?
T: Yeah, Hanami....Joe Yokomizo.....Hanami isn't one of the topics.
J: Yes it is!
T: Oh yeh
J: Hanami...First meetings....There are a lot of votes for Hanami.
K: Lets go with that then.
J: Ok, the first topic of conversation is 'Hanami'! ( Cherry Blossom Viewing)
T: As for Hanami, im generally against it.
J: Eh?! Are you trying to ruin our plan? You are scary today! I mean, cool. Haha.
K: Why are you against it?
T: Well, don't you feel cold doing Hanami?
J: No, no, thats just cause you don't dress warmly, haha.
K: Yeh, you are too lightly dressed, haha.
T: Haha, its just a coincidence today, really.
J: You would be cold dressed like that! Haha
T: No, but when you do Hanami in the park or somewhere, you sit on a sheet spread out on the ground, right? Don't you think the ground is quite cold?
K: Thats right actually, it is cold. Well, its not bad during the day, but at night it does get cold.
T: Yeh, and I always end up wanting to go indoors to drink, so Hanami loses its meaning for me.
K: Well, yeh, after you've bought all this stuff from the supermarket to eat, you do end up thinking you might as well have gone to a restaurant.
J: For something nicer and warmer, right? Haha, yeh, there is that.
T: See, Kaoru is coming over to my side.
J: You don't actually spend much time looking at the blossoms either, do you?
K: Yeah, people just want to drink.
J: Yeh, its an excuse to drink. But still, it is only a short time when the blossoms are here.
K: Its fine during the day, but you can't even really see the blossoms at night. Plus, its warm during the day, well..today was raining, but yesterday would have been great for Hanami.
T: But someone just commented, 'Hanami is impossible if you have hayfever'
K: Ah, of course, yeh.
J: Look, someone wrote, 'I prefer the food carts in winter', Ah, winter, right?...'Street vendors are fun!'. But there are food carts out in some places at this time of year too! Havn't you seen any?
T: Ohh, they are good.
J: Yeah, see!
K: There are some places that do have loads out, like how you see at festivals.
J: Ah, like in Ueno park.
T: Those are good.
K: Yeah...but there are some places that have like a restaurant feel, right? There'll be oden, and you can grill seafood, like you can sit around the grill and have a drink.
J: There's a good atmosphere.
K: Right?! That type of place is good.
T: Didn't there used to be something like that at Hanazono Shrine?
J: There was, yeh. Leader, tell us about some of your Hanami memories.
K: Well, yeah, it does just feel a bit cold, and the food is usually nothing impressive.
T: See!
K: But I do like having a drink outside.
J: Yeh, it feels spacious, right?
K: Yeh, but its better when its warm.
T: Someone's commenting about pizza for Hanami.
J: Thats pretty interesting.
K: Well, you can get it delivered easily with Uber.
J: Oh right, so you could specify which tree you're under, and you just raise your hand when they call out your name?
K: Well, yeh.
T: I read something in a magazine ages ago about how people playing pachiko used to order pizza, and even specify the machine they were sat at, to get it delivered directly to then.
J: Ehh, to pinpoint their location?
T: Yeah.
J: Well we'd love viewers to let us know their hanami memories, or recommendations for good hanami spots, so please send them in. Hey, we could do daytime Hanami on this show next year?
K: Yeh
T: Someone wrote, 'I want Kaoru to pour me a beer from a Tora no ana food stall'.
K: Like one of those ones? How do you even get those, we probably can't, right?
J: Tokyo Sports could do something for us, couldn't they?
T: No, I don't think so.
K: Aren't those the type of things that get handed down to people?
T: Im not sure.
J: Hm, you probably have to have connections in the street vendor business. Tokyo Sports has power in that sphere, right?
T: Not at all, haha.
J: But Tokyo Sports is like a street vendor.
T: Well, the street vendor of mass media maybe.
K: But even if we didnt have that kind of thing, we could do it with just a regular hot plate, or your pressure cooker...an event where we make that kinda stuff would be good, like a public live broadcast.
J: Oh, thats a good idea!
T: Apparently you can rent food stalls.
J: Well, if we have enough support...
T: Someone wrote 'The pressure cooker is nostalgic'...Nostalgic?
J: Well, we could do The Freedom of Expression Hanami next year.
T: I wanna do it this year.
K: Oh, those comments are too fast, I can't read them! haha
J: Why do they go by so quickly sometimes?
K: I don't know.
J: Can't Dwango even tell us? Ehh. 'Cause they do fly past too quickly sometimes don't they?....Oh, it only happens to long comments? Long comments move fast!
K: Ah, I see. That makes sense, cause it goes fast when people use lots of applause emojis.
T: Oh right! Lets test it, everyone do lots of clapping in the comments.
J: Ah, Tasai, you're on good form.
T: Aren't you curious? haha
*everyone sends in a load of long emoji strings*
K, T: Oh, look how quick it is!
J: Amazing
K: Wow, its so fast!
J: Should we really get so happy about something like this? haha. Ok, so that was our first topic, Hanami. Leader, could you erase it from the board.
T: Isn't it that one in the middle next to April Fool? (Joe's bday)
J: No no! Don't erase that one yet! Not yet! Erase Hanami.
K: Ughh, I don't really like chalkboards.
J: Why? The noise?
K: I just imagine my nails on it. Just looking at it I get a nasty feeling in my nails!
J: Aghh, there always used to be someone who would scrape the board like that, right?
K: I can only picture that when I see it. I just get so sqeamish in my nails, haha.
J: I know what you mean, and you feel ticklish all over too, right?
K:....Well, no, I don't feel ticklish.
J: Eh, why is that just me?
K: My nails just get this awful feeling.
J: Don't you get this ticklish sensation down 'there' though, too?
K: No.
T: Hahaha, this is too funny.
K: But actually, its not the noise that bothers me. Its that sensation of nails draging on the board.
J, T: Ahhhh
K: I hate that.
J: Kaoru, you are showing your cute side. So you hate even looking at the chalkboard?
K: Yeah, it just makes my nails feel awful.
J: Ahh, I cringe just imagining that sound aswell. Ok, well we finished Hanami. Lets decide the next topic. Write what you want to hear about in the comments.
T: How about we choose the first really fast one?
J: Ok, but there is a bit of a time lag, so just wait a sec. The first fast one right? Ah, there!
T: Spring songs!
K: First meetings!
J: First meetings overtook Spring songs!
T: Haha, lets go with First meetings.
K: Spring first meetings, right?
J: Yeah, like meeting people when you start school, or start a new semester etc. Haha, there are a lot of Spring song comments.
T: Haha, someone wrote 'There's a perv* around' (*Looking for a better translation of 出会い厨*)
J: 'We hit the limit', haha, great. Anyway, Spring first meetings!
K: Well, I've never worked for a proper company, so I can only draw on memories from school.
J: What do you remember?
K: Well, I have a friend from high school, I still go for a drink with him now and again, but this story is from our school days. It was a mixed school in theory, but in reality, there were only a handful of girls in each year group. So in our classroom, my seat was at the front, my friend's was behind, and behind him was a boy called Hirai Miki. So on the first day before we'd all met, that friend of mine looked at the seating plan and thought, 'Oh score! I've got girls in front and behind!' (*Kaoru and Miki are both commonly used as girls names too*)
J, T: Hahaha
T: In between Kaoru and Miki! He thought he got lucky, haha!
K: Then when he sat down, he was like, 'Who the hell are you two?!'
J: Haha, like, 'You're in the wrong seats! These seats are for Kaoru and Miki!'
K: Haha, yeah.
T: He didn't expect that you were boys, haha.
J: Ahhh, Kaoru chan and Miki chan! Someone wrote, 'His harlem'
K: Yes, but we were both boys.
T: Thats a good story.
J: Tasai, do you have any stories?
T: Hm, let me think...
J: Oh, by the way, the members only video is great this time, don't miss it! Isn't that right, Leader?
K: Yeah.
J: Yeh, so everyone please...
T: Well, I have a story from my university entrance ceremony.
K: Haha, he just cut you straight off!
J: Haha
T: Yes! As I was saying, my university entrance ceremony. haha. You never know what type of people you will meet at university, but the guy next to me at the ceremony was really friendly to me, and you could also tell he was really well-built. But I was just talking to him, trying to blend in, as you do, and I noticed he kept looking at his watch. Then at a certain time, he apologized to me and got a banana and a protein drink out of his bag, and had them right there. He was like, 'Its time to feed my muscles', even in the middle of the entrance ceremony! So that was one first meeting of this kind of strange person.
K, J: ....
K: That was a bit if an anticlimax.
J: Yeh, the story was ok, but...
T: Aghh, Im sad now.
J: Hey, but the members only content this time is brilliant!
T: Hey, thats not fair.
J: No, but even the staff laughed this time! They have never laughed at any of the members only content until now!
T: Can I ask for some super fast bananas in the conments to make me feel better?
J: Oh, banana emojis in the comments? Ok everyone, make Tasai feel better with some bananas.
T(*reading a comment*) Ah, no, Im not still in contact with him.
J: Oh, the protein guy?
T: Oh look, here come the bananas!!
J: Wow, so many banana emojis!
T: Thank you, haha.
J: Its kinda dirty, right?
T: No, Joe, thats just you!
J: Its just my freedom of expression. I want the whole screen covered in bananas!
K: The screens gone all light, haha
J: They all merge after a point.
K: (*Sees the macho muscle emoji and copies that pose*)
J: Haha, the macho emoji!
T: This is turning out well.
J: Yeah, I think the viewers are getting used to nicinama.
K: But we've had guests a lot lately, so its been quite structured. This time is more chilled, haha.
J: Its good having a bit more freedom, right?
K: Haha, yeah.
T: Ahhh, more bananas! Someone wrote, 'My finger hurts', haha.
J: Ok, lets move onto the next topic.
K: I'll just erase First meetings (*grimaces after contact with the board*)
J: Tasai, you choose the next one.
T: No, I'll leave it to the comments.
J: Strictly the viewers choice?
T: Today we are doing this together.
J: Haha, you sound like a bandman saying that type of thing. Ok, comments. It doesn't have to be a fast comment?
K: Nah.
J: Spring songs... Koshien.
T: Ok, lets go with Spring songs....Oh, but Koshien!
K: No, there were a lot of votes for Spring songs earlier, so we should go with that.
J: You don't have much of a Spring song image though, Leader.
K: Hm, yeh, I don't know any Spring songs.
J: If we had to make a Spring song playlist for this show, what would you put on it?
K: Can I use our songs? Well, probably '304 goushitsu, hakushi no sakura'.
J: Of course, yeh. That was in the comments too.
K: Oh, 'Kaishun' aswell....But what songs would you call Spring songs in general?
J: Anything by Moriyama Naotaro.
K: Ahh
T: And there are a lot of songs out there titled, 'Sakura'.
J: Whats the first Spring song you can think of? What Spring song would you hum in the bath?
K: What would you?
J: Ohh, what would I...?
T: (*reading comment*) Ah, Yuming, right. (Matsutoya Yumi)
J: Oh, I heard a song on a show I did yesterday...What was it again?
K: You won't remember, haha.
J: No I will, haha...Kawaguchi Kyogo!
T: Ah, that singer/songwriter?
J: Yeh, that song is 'Sakura...something', isn't it? I couldn't remember it after all, haha...(*reading a comment*) Oh yeh, Fukuyama Masao too.
T: Joe, someone said that song is called, 'Amnesia'.
J: No, thats just me they're talkIng about. haha. Leader, what are your Spring songs?
K: I don't know.
T: Egao saku....Buck Tick.
J: How does that go again? Ah! *sings*
T: Ah, Sakuranbo! (cherry)
K: Is sakuranbo a Spring thing?
T: Well, it has sakura in it...
K: No, but I mean the actual fruit.
T: Hmm, its not a fruit of sakura is it?
K: No, it can't be. Cherries, yeh?
T:Yeh, its not the blossoms.
J: Wow, its like two teenagers are talking right here.
K, T: Hahaha
J: Anyway, someone just commented, 'Kitakuni no haru'
T: Any cherry experts, let us know....Oh, cherry season is from May...so thats a summer song then.
K: Hm, yeh, Sakuranbo is not a Spring song.
J: Loads of people suggested it though.
K: No, its wrong.
J: Ah, wrong season. Leader, cant you think of any sakura songs off the top of your head?
K: No.
J: What about you Tasai?.....Of course there is Yuming with 'Haru yo, koi'.
K: Ahhh.
J: Also, that one from earlier....🎶mata haru ni aimashou🎶
K: Ah, Hide san.
T: Also, Ketsumeitsu....and 304 goushitsu again.
J: But you can't really think of any Spring songs, Leader?
K: Not really.
J: Ok, shall we do one more topic for the free part? Hmm, lots of people saying Yuming. Well, time to pick another one. Spring songs has been erased.....Oh, look, a strong vote for Joe Yokomizo's birthday!
K: Nah, I couldn't read that.
T: Yeah, what did it say??
K: I didn't see it.
J: But it came up slowly after that!
K: Nah, didn't see anything like that.
J: Haha, now its just turned into JoeYoko in the comments
K, T: Hahaha
J: Ah, but maybe JoeYoko is best saved for the paid section.
K: Yeah, thats a good idea!
T: Ehh?! You should be paying them to listen to it!
J: Haha, like, 'Pleeease!' No no, seeing me being teased can be paid content....Someone suggested a two level billing.
K: Oh, we had someone before talking about that, right?
T:Toshi-Low, right?
J: Yeah, can we even manage that with this system?..Ah, no, unfortunately not.
T: Moving house!
K: Shall we go with Moving house?
J: Yes, ok. Bandmen move around a lot, don't they?
K: Yeh, well I've moved 5 or 6 times since I came to Tokyo.
J: Have you had any disastrous, or dangerous moves?
K: Not reallty.
J: Any hauntings?
K: No, I have no supernatural sense at all, but then again, who knows?
T: Ohh, thats lucky to not sense it.
J: Do you, Tasai?
T: Well, Im really sensitive to noise. So I'll get freaked out by the tiniest thing.
K: Hahaha
T: There was stuff like that appearing on this show too, wasn't there?
J: Yeah, and voices appearing. What even was that?
K: I don't know.
T: We went for purification on that snowy day though.
J: Yeah, and I was foretold many blocked roads for the year.
T: Yeah, how was 2022 in the end?
J: It wasn't that bad really....I just finished my tax return too.
T: Are you talking about your fee? haha. Not about achieving what you wanted or anything? Your fee?? haha
J: I did achieve what I wanted! No, I did, and thats one element of it, haha. Anyway, as for moving, I wanna hear from Kaoru, what was your most difficult move?
K: Hmm, well I have moved after finding cockroaches in my place.
J: Ehhh?
T: I understand that.
J: Thats like a woman.
K: Yeah, thats how much I hate them.
J: Ehh. So if you moved house and found cockroaches straight away, what would you do?
K: Well, I would first try to get rid of them, and if they were gone after that, then its fine. But if they kept coming back, I would have to move.
J: You would give up and move out? Ahh, you would move because of cockroaches?
T: Even with all those cockroaches in your music videos...
K: That has no relation to it.
J: Someone asked, 'Do you get rid of cockroaches yourself?'
K: Well, I get them in a paper cup or something, and then put something flat under it, then take it outside like that, then throw it away. (*demonstrates with notes*?
J: You're so gentle! You let it go?!
K: Well, now I can kill them, but even then I will still always use paper...but they dont run off quickly then, obviously.
J: Yeh, it would be good if they go quickly, haha.
K: Also, when you kill them, they might have eggs, which is gross. So I if I can just catch them with paper, I will, and then just throw them out.
T: 'Use soap on them'. Ahh, yeh.
K: I do sometimes use a plastic bag to catch them, and then tie it up.
J: Ahh, and then throw it away?
K: Well, I will hit it while its in the bag first.
J: Ah yeh, someone wrote, 'If you find one....(there isn't just one)'. Thats true. Its a tough problem, but really difficult if you have to move because of it. Someone else sent a question, 'Do you hire a moving company when you move?' Or do you get your friends to help?
K: I tend to hire someone, yeh. But a long time ago, like when I was first here, I would get the manager or someone to help, and shove all my stuff in the band van.
J: Well, yeh. 'Do you like house hunting?'
K: Not really. I only do it when I have to.
J: You don't always check around.
K: Nah.
J: Ah, someone commented they moved house 12 times. People wanna know how much your rent was back in the day. Where was the cheapest place you lived? Was it an apartment?
K: No, it was a unit. Well, I talked about this on my blog before, but it was towards Nerima ward. It was a two bedroom place on the third floor, and it had quite a big living area, like the size of this room. I lived there with Kyo, with a bedroom on either side. I think it was about ¥120,000 a month, between us.
T: Thats cheap.
J: With seperate bedrooms and a big living space?
K: Yeah, but we didnt really use the living area, because we had our own rooms. Of course we had a fridge, and a bathroom etc. But we never spent any time in the main area, so we just used it to pile up all our band equipment.
J: You put your instruments there?
K: Yeah, and obviously garbage would pile up, and we ended up with cockroaches, haha.
J: Kyo strikes me as someone who would be able to deal with cockroaches.
T: No, I bet he hates them.
K: Yeh, he seems like he hates bugs.
J: I see. 'Did you have a cleaning schedule?'
K: Not at all!
T: Did you write your names on your desserts in the fridge and stuff?
K: Ah, yeh, I think so.
J: 'Did you fight over food in the fridge?'
K: Hmm, no.
J: Ok, well that was the Moving house topic. We've done 4 topics so far, but there are still a lot left. We'll move over to the members only part next, so I'll let you know how you can watch it. You have to be a member if you want to watch to the end. If you join, you can watch this broadcast in the archives for a year, and there will also be a members only video released in the next few days, so check it out. Leader is pointing to the link you need to join. If you click this link, you will get a screen asking you to choose your payment method. Choose your preferred method, yes, Leader is pointing to it now, click proceed, and then enter your details, and then you're good to go!
K: (*Doing thumbs up to the camera*)
J: Haha, thats the 'You're good' gesture! If you havnt already joined, please do to enjoy the rest of the show. Leader, show us your gesture for 'enjoy thr show'.
K: (*spreads both hands out happily*)
T: Haha, they like that. Well, we'll be getting to know Joe more in the second part.
J: Yeh, the Joe charge.
K: Haha, Joe charge.
J: Do you have anything to announce before we switch?
K: Uh, the tour will start next month. Oh, also, I mentioned this at Tora no ana with Joe, but Im planning another art exhibition.
T: Oh, when?
K: Im not sure yet, but I'll let everyone know when I can.
T: Do you have a lot of material?
K: Im in the process of creating.
J: Yeh, you mentioned it at the talk event...is event the right word? What was I calling it?
K: Yes...you were saying talkshow.
J: Yes, we talked a lot there. There was an evening part and a midnight part in Tokyo, wasn't there?
T: How long were you drinking for?
J: Oh, well into morning.
K: The midnight part finished at about 4am, right?
J: Yeh, it would have been great for fans who went to both parts. Anyway, an art exhibition this year. Can you give us any hints about the upcoming tour?
K: No, I can't say anything yet.
J: Well, regardless, me and Tasai will get Kaoru talking a lot in the second part.
T: Ahh, Im sleepy today.
J: Haha, sleeping during the show?? Anyway, we will change over here, the screen will change for a moment, but the next part will start shortly. Please join us for part 2.
