Long time no write.

I'm doing great.

Lately, I've been totally addicted to the "Aibo" series.
My daughter and I play make-believe Ukyo-san.

And the person that does the bad things,
apologizes like a chimpanzee.

That's how my days have been.

Today we were in meetings...

and checking drafts and stuff.

Sorry to have kept you waiting...here are the official photos from the KK50 festival.
Here's a rehearsal shot from the 1st day at the Budokan.
The song was Oriental Diamond.

Another rehearsal shot...

The setlist started with "Jet Keisatsu" and was a great setlist.
The back the T-shirts say "KAWANISHI50". Some of you may have noticed but the girls wore similar shirts everyday but it was all different. We made 8 different "KAWANISHI50" T-shirts.

Here's Yusuke-san...

Here's AMiYumi singing "DOKI DOKI"

Naka-san doing his guitar solo.

During there MC, calling Kawanishi-san onto stage.

Lately, the sun falls earlier,
and the morning/evenings are colder.

Gotta be careful not to catch a cold.

Anyway, our team
is full of silly people.
It's just such a lovable team of silliness,
that when we talk about Puffy's future...
the scale of the dreams are gigantic.

It's fun listening to them talk even when I'm sober.

We're in the middle of planning lots of fun stuff
that you guys will all definitely enjoy
so when it happens

just shut up and join the ride!!!

Even if we're silly, we put in all our energy and do it seriously.

For the encore we all went on stage together and afterwards we took a photo.
What a group!

Congratulations on your 25th anniversary!

Before the show:

Heading to the stage:

Girls performing "Asia no Junshin".
On the side of the stage Yusuke Santamaria was waiting.

Today we held the first PUFFY cup...fishing tournament.

The photo is obviously Ami.
Since it was her birthday, the other day Ami got a fishing rod that was specially made with "Bring it!" colors.

Participating in the tournament was...
Yusuke Fujita, guitarist, from the PUFFY band.
He's also a fishing mania and brought his own fishing rod.

Band master, Kinoshita Senpai also joined us.
Looks like he knows what he's doing but...today was only his 3rd time.
Seems like he caught huge fish the 1st, 2nd time and is now starting to love fishing.
