The eve

Good evening, this is Shou.

Finally, the day after tomorrow... from tomorrow the tour is starting.
I'm really looking forward since it's been almost half a year since Shibu-kou, and at this moment I feel that I can't help but to give more than just a passing thought...(￣∀￣)

Last year, we truly received a lot of power and emotions from our encounters with everyone, and as we put this into a song, our intent was to return to the original energy of the band, so even if there was a period during which nothing happened, don't worry, I guess.
I want to do lives that wrap it all up, just in case there were people who'd been worried.
If we walk together holding hands, even if it's a bit overflowing with routine, I think it's necessary to hold on with a tight grip.

The new songs, I wonder what you all think about them.
JEWELS, simply put, I think I'm filled by the feeling of wanting to sing it in front of every soon, and ROSARIO, since it's me who wrote the lyrics for this one too, I believe that my colors have left their mark strongly onto it (laugh), 13 is... well I'm looking forward to see everyone in action during the live. During the intro and the first verse, raise your fists... I guess you could jump during the second? (laugh)
I can't wait.

Also, I think that those of you who already bought JEWELS know already, but on June 6th, we'll be releasing a song called "WHITE PRAYER".
Since it was originally supposed to come out along with JEWELS, as far as I was concerned, it was like "the song I want to sing for everyone = JEWELS", "the song I want to sing for myself = WHITE PRAYER", it could have been a great pair, I think they match together.

If I want to make everyone happy, basically I have to let my ego aside, so I'm constantly asking myself "I wonder if they'll like such and such song" while I'm making them.
Even if I don't particularly believe that it's wrong to do this, it's hard to demonstrate your individuality with this technique.
Because of this dilemna, I think that even a trivial decision can become difficult.

Mah, in a nutshell, my thoughts are all mixed up, but right now we're pursuing the things we think are genuinely cool like the three songs included in "WHITE PRAYER"'s coupling.
Of course, I still think that the songs we've made up until now are the greatest, but (laugh) it might be impetuous.

Anyway, during this tour, please welcome the three new songs we'll be bothering you with (laugh) There'll be:

"WHITE PRAYER"
"STRAY CAT"
"THE LAST EMPIRE"

THE LAST EMPIRE is the Saitama one (laugh)
For now, "STRAY CAT" is the song that'll put a smile on everyone's face, the song of an old cat who hasn't died yet. With such feeling of wanting to laugh and be in high spirits with everyone, "THE LAST EMPIRE" has a "Mosh pit! Raise your fists! Let's stop the world!" sort of feeling. (like such)

Truly, please let the colors of these cute, lively songs leave their marks upon you (laugh)

It's getting so long... to be continued

This is the continuation

Then, we've announced a summer tour (laugh)
There's no words to describe the feeling I got when it was announced that we'd visit places we've never been to before,

but right now we're seeing nothing but the tour that's before our eyes.
Right now we plan to dedicate our whole power to meet the expectations of all of those who're waiting for us in various places, and I think that the additional date is going to be filled with the various feelings we got during the tour.

Anyway, right now we want to look at what's right before our eyes.

That's all.

For now, from the first day, we're gunning for the best, Sendai's people.
