Hirodolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer~

Merry Christmas!!!!


Today is Christmas.



It's also the FC event.


I'm sending much love to those who couldn't come☆



I hope the snow of happiness will fall upon the world!!!!!!!





Acne broke out on my nose so it's a little bit red...



It's embarrassing~!!!!!!

I was inspired by _miakoda_ to make this. It's a JibJab video where all of the Alice Nine members have a snowball fight (and chaos ensues). I can really imagine the members doing this for some reason... xD Anyway, I was trying to think of something I could do for the community, and this is the result. ^^ Happy Holidays to everyone, I hope you have a happy end of the year~!

Merry Christmas


Tomorrow is finally the ClubAlice event.


There will be two parts so it's going to be a bit rough, so today I'm relaxing at home (laugh)



This time I'm sorry to say the capacity was quite small, and we're experimenting with various things for the first time, but I want to do an event that feels like it's connected with the next.


Everyone, hang your stockings and go to sleep ('∀')b


For sure, Nao-Santa-san will... come...


Maybe.

NOTE: Merry Christmas!

Good news.

Thanks to everyone, Ruki (the GazettE)'s Original ABNORMAL [EYE] DENTITY [MODEL #01] is totally selling out right now!!!!!

So hurry and grab another pair while you still can...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah!! I don't know about the photo we took, but check it out YO!!!!

And, that was me trying to imitate Ruki-kun there**. Yep, there I did it!!!!!

----------
You can't tell with the English translation but if you compare the original Japanese posts you can tell that Sakai was trying to write like Ruki with the katakana and all

(Nuuuu Sakai, you'll make it harder for me to translate!!!! D: *headdesk*)

In reference to Aoi-kun's blog,

Aoi-kun has his photo shoot today and, I, can't go.
It's not cause I'm trying to avoid it or anything like that of course.

Saitou-shi was telling me "You're being left behind so please remember to do some work"
I am doing that though!!!

I was going to go though you know! But now I'm stuck here wearing a helmet!!!

※ Here's a secret (and I really mean it's a secret)
Though you guys won't forget about this tomorrow right right??? Or that's what I usually think! Or maybe not.
Anyway, When Aoi-kun's pumping his fist up during shows he almost always takes off his ring so he doesn't lose it. Good isn't it?!

Anyway, I'll probably be yelled at if I say anymore now so I'm going to shut up.

WHITE PERIOD II in Osaka☆


I'm back!!
Thank you for the Period in Osaka! It was fun☆

Well~, there was a lot of stuff that got people hyped up!
There was even an unexpected drum solo... (laugh)
Mah, it was a live where we didn't know what was going to happen!!
We played songs we hadn't performed in a long time too but with different arrangements and stuff, and there were a lot of things we wanted to include until we all agreed on it, so I'm glad we made it on time for Osaka (sweat)

I'll surpass myself again for the Shin-Kiba period!!
With that said, I hope you're looking forward to Shin-Kiba too!!


Thanks to everyone, I was able to get to like playing drums very much.
I said those words at the Forum too,

but I want to show that I meant it.


Anyway,
I have no makeup so that was Nao with sunglasses~☆

Hello, Ruki here.

I managed to design some glasses

ABNORMAL[EYE]DENTITY

This was what I made today.

It was awesome to be able to do this.

Simply the best.

Don't forget to check it out for me!

Later guys, this has been Ruki.

----------
TN: Ruki's post was not translator friendly, it was all in katakana, evil Ruki *pokes* xD;;;

Just before this time around, I was hanging around Alice Nine's greaty and legendary MG Ono-kun, we were in the middle of singing Shunkashuutou so
we're not exactly able to get any work done!!!

Ono-kun would be alright if you could just quiet down a little for me please???





So,,should I leave before the little devil Ageha finds out and reads this???


Storytime!!

Well, Aoi-kun is pretty cool already right? Anyway, how should I put this? In terms of his guitar playing skills it's really looks like it's gotten cooler.
Go Aoi-kun! Be sure to fanmail him telling him how excited you are!!!

Part 2:
A conversation with Ruki-kun:
Ruki: "Have you been sleeping well lately???"
Sakai: "The fact that I can sleep whenever and wherever I can is a gift I have!!"
Ruki: "Really?? You must have a nice pillow then."
Sakai: "You think so?"
Ruki: "Yep, thanks to that you're terrible at waking up now"
Sakai: "Heyyyy, that's not it! I have to make sure my health for our 12/24 live is nothing less than perfect though don't I??!!"
Ruki: "Mm, that's right!!"

Yep, The pillow is very important indeed.
Ah, speaking of which, before you buy a pillow I don't suppose you can rent if for a try for a day could you??
Well, I say that because I've bought a bad pillow myself 3 times.
I've ended up on the floor a couple times dreaming about it.

Looks like tomorrow's going to be another good day!!

For some reason Sakai-posted this post twice, but I'm only going to post this once xD;;;

Sakai here. Who's once again healed by Sumita-san's smile today.

I wonder, what's everyone looking forward to possibly seeing on 12/24's live set-list? (ahaha, it's like a race to see what's on it really)
Well, it really seems that way when you think about it, but it's more exciting in that way right?
Not just for the 12/24 X'mas eve live either!! You know, the member's have all been like "ah, should we do this song? do we want to do this one?"
Oh and of course they check out their fanmails too for that!!

A little while back I got something from a fan that said
"The member's all look at the stuff we send to them like fanmail and letters right? But the Managers read them anyway don't they?!!"
Ah, sorry!! But the members definitely read them!!!! Letters, fanmail and all!!!!
It's something that the members are always looking forward to!!!! Serously!!!!

By the way, Uruha-kun told me:
"On your blog you really say "ne" too much. Are you whispering or something?"
Really? Ah, but it's not like that really, but it's something totally positive x 100000000

And....I'll leave that story at that!!

So, in order to prep and get ready for the 12/24 Uruha-kun has been out running regularly!! Really he has!!
So I too will work towards 12/24 by steadily eating more and getting fat.(But I'll try to stay fit too!! *laughs*)
Hey hey, it's no laughing matter!!!!  (What? You can't believe this person is easily angered?)

Aoi-kun also announced:
"I'm going to be even cooler this time."
We'll be expecting that from you then!!!! If anything try asking him about it. (And I'll leave it at that!)
Speaking of which, if Aoi-kun becomes evener cooler though I think I'll give up eating more, steadily anyway right?

If I say anymore than this now.....!! Ah!!!
Let's just say the rest of this story is a se-cr-e-t?!!

Please excuse me then, I can see Sumita-san laughing at me from where I am while I'm blogging (seriously I can).
Ah the joy of freedom!!!

It's rare!


Today I went to Starbucks after the studio!

And at the store, they had run out of sauce to put on my Caramel Eclair Late, it was sold out so...
(´┏＿┓｀)UNEASY


So I used another sauce!!☆


It's rare though...

It didn't really taste strange and I didn't notice the difference (laugh)


That makes me a bit sad... (cries)

And tomorrow is the White Period 2 live in Osaka☆


Let's pili-dance (laugh)
(´┏＿┓｀)

----
NOTE: I guess pili-dance is a pun. Pili (ピリ) can be short for "period" (ピリオド) and it also means "spicy".

So I recently got an iPhone as a Christmas present yay for Christmas and I was wondering if any of you iPhone users out there could share your Alice Nine ringtones. ♥

( well I guess I'll leave a bribe. ♥ )

When I put make up on...


I get hungry...



Today is the last photoshoot this year o(^-^)o


I finally got FF13 ('∀')
I received it from fans too, but I bought it myself dutifully.
Thank you★

I've been all over the place during the year, so I think I'm going to lock myself up at home during the New Year holidays('∀''∀')

Letters


This is something I've been thinking lately, but messages can be transmitted via my blog and the website's mail,

and it's precisely because we live in a world where people can communicate with each other that easily

that I feel like the analog... I mean, methods that require hard word are even more so lovely.


Therefore, I guess the business and live-related priorities have increased more than in the past.

Living things, and things that cannot exist in a digital world,

Like the real flowers we used in the pamphlet's photoshoot,
are truly beautiful.


Of course, speaking of communication methods,
be it by mail or letters or your voice during lives,
the feelings are basically the same, so they're beautiful too.


It's because I live in such a world that from now on, I want to keep myself in sight and convey my message.
Thank you always, everyone.

WHITE PERIOD II


Good job.

It was a live that made me feel glad we went ahead and got a flower arrangement made even if we were told "No way, it's impossible".

It was a live where able to convey the concepts we wanted to convey right in the middle of everyone,


but next time I want to go across the country with the FC in the same situation.


In any case, it was a performance that made me feel blessed more than usual.

Thanks to everyone who came!


This white scenery, we'll make it again for sure.



Today I did a photoshoot and interview with FLOW,

and I was speechless at how nice and humble these guys were.


Since I gave my 120% at yesterday's live,

so when the photoshoot ended, I was like

"Patrasche... I'm pretty sleepy..."¹

so I think I'm going to keel over now.

Adios... ('∀')

At the rehearsal studio


I met our senpai from Kra at the rehearsal studio,

and I was impressed to find that Keiyuu-san properly separates the caps from the bottles...¹


Or at least I'd never noticed the trash separation corner in the studio ('∀';)


I also want to become an adult who separates his trash.



Everyone taught me, so I now understand the difference between cafe au lait and cafe late.


I'll be a coffee genius from tomorrow.



-----
¹ In Japan, you have to separate your trash correctly. Plastic bottles and their caps don't fall in the same category.

It's the nabe season


Right now I could eat nabe every day.


I'm completely yearning for nabe and kotatsu¹.


The Shin-Kiba live is coming pretty soon.


While taking in consideration the things that worked more or less in Osaka, we're rehearsing with a fun kind of feeling.


Lately we're able to do rehearsals with the same feeling as when we just started out, it's fun.



I wanted to make cafe lates at home so I went out shopping for a coffee maker,


and there was one that could make "cafe au lait" for 8000 yen,


and an espresso maker that could make "cafe late" for 30,000 yen.


I was a bit mortified since I didn't really understand the difference,

so I said "*sigh* Nevermind for this time" and left ('∀')

WHITE PEREOD II


Good job Osaka.

It was already the third time this year we played at Nanba Hatch, so it felt a bit like home o(^-^)o



Truly right now, I'm anxiously waiting for every single live, and I'm looking forward,
and I guess feel more blessed than ever before when I sing (laugh)

The first white scenery in Kansai was amazing ('∀')b


I can't wait for Shin-Kiba too...



I'm trembling with excitement

Speaking of December...


Couples... illuminations...




('∀';)



As those two guys passed by some intersection, it got too painful



so we couldn't help doing a V-sign☆ (laugh)




Having a long conversation with a friend put me in a good mood.



Tomorrow finally is Nanba Hatch!


It's our last live in Kansai for this year, so I can't wait.




Let's burn... to pure white (laugh)

For the first time


I bought a figurine for the first time



A moment of tension between Sephiroth and Cloud, from FFVII...



The things that sparked my interest when I was a teenager will follow me throughout my lifetime, so I want to take care of them.



For now, I'll tremble with excitement until FFXIII.

Mos Mos


We're in the middle of doing the long-awaited costume rehearsal for WHITE PEREOD...



There's a Mos Burger near this studio, so I love it (laugh)



Yesterday too, just as we finished a song, Nao-san went "Mos! Mos!" to go buy hamburgers, it was cute.


I'll do my best, drinking a Mos Shake

I who's not sweet


I truly love those things called iced cafe latte,


but lately I'm not satisfied with what's on the market (laugh)


I'm looking for a quality coffee,


so I think I might have to buy a coffee maker (laugh)



As for chain stores, I really like DEAN&DELUCA's cafe late.

There are rehearsals every day


Lately we've been rehearsing intensely for the December's one-mans...

It's going to be full of surprises so I can't wait to perform.

And I'm not lying when I said it's going to be packed full.


Lately I'm feeling emotional.

So when I'm tired, I want to eat sweet things (laugh)


With the sweat I lose during rehearsals and the calories in butter, I'm turning into a plus-minus zero (laugh)



-----
NOTE: By "plus minus zero", I think he means that the energy he spends sweating during rehearsals cancel out the calories in the butter/sweet things he eat.

Good job


It's a bit late but good job with the live!

The next day I was sore all over... it was intense(laugh)


And since a long time ago, my neck pain is pretty bad after a live.


This time, I was often told that the set list was great,


but during the VANDALIZE tour, we wanted to be coherent with the concept of "showing the album's universe",


But in the meanwhile, the experience we got performing with other bands as well as respected sempai at the V-ROCK FES
we learned the coolness of breaking away with the things you've been pursuing.


And I hope we can make use of this experience a little.


Setlists are very difficult to put together, because every has different expectations and ideals,


but we certainly do have the will to make everyone enjoy themselves every time.


There are things that we can't convey,
but I'm glad if we could convey this much.



While on the topic of opportunities,

I'm often asked about it, but the Christmas FC event is going to be really tight (laugh)

Because of the price difference due to the different food menu between the day and night event as well as the different content, it seems like people complain about the high prices (^_^;) Sorry


Because FC-related expenses are always an issue, we did this one in the center of Tokyo,


and while I hope to have FC tours every year,
it's the first time we thought about doing something different for Christmas,

and it's not quite perfect yet,

but since it's the first time the members put everything they have in order to make club ALICE better and create more special features...
I hope you'll enjoy it.


Also
First of all, there will be the Osaka and Shin-Kiba lives in December.


For the band, it'll be quite

charged (laugh)


It's coming so ('∀') I gotta get working

I went on the cd data website and saw this news that said CD&DL and it has a picture of alice nine there and i was wondering what it was.

DEAD END


Yesterday I went to DEAD END's live o(^-^)o


How can I say this... it truly left me speechless.


The kankeisha¹'s enthusiasm was about the same as the audience's enthusiam, it was this sort of mood.


I was intoxicated not only by the importance of history, but also by the sound of a "present" that won't fade away.



In that sense, today I continued to rehearse and stuff,


and tomorrow finally is our first live since the V-ROCK FES~!

I'm looking forward so much that I'm worried I might not be able to sleep today (laugh)



Lately I've been training hard for the sake of singing,
so I want to show you the results~.


Tomorrow let's meet in Shibu-kou.


-----
¹ Kankeisha is pretty much the equivalent of VIP in Japan. They usually sit at the back or on the second floor if there's one, and they usually don't move during the entire show.
