I FELT SOMETHING IN ME CHANGE

Drop a line... and hint more !!

2012”

あけましておめでとうございます。
2012年のことをさくっと。

年明けすぐはライブをしながら作曲・レコーディングと準備。
そして「Your Heart EP」のリリース。

無料配布にもかかわらず、タワレコ・ヴィレッジバンガードなど店舗で試聴器にまで入れてもらったり。
Ice Grills RECORDSなど、オンラインストアに置かせてもらったりと、多くの人の協力でいろんな人に聞いてもらう事ができました。

そして、KICK ROCK INVASIONの「BEYOND [THE] BLUE」、
THE NINTH APOLLOの「In the Stage COG」のコンピレーションに収録させてもらいました。
ありがとうございました！


少し長いツアーでも、単発でもいろんな所でライブができました。

そして、B[T]B Tourでは、EVERY AVENUE / MAYDAY PARADE / ME VS HERO / THERE FOR TOMORROW / William Beckett (ex-THE ACADEMY IS…) / WITH THE PUNCHES、

今年もIce Grills Tourでは、A LOSS FOR WORDS / NO TRIGGER / IN HER OWN WORDSと、
ずっと大好きだった海外バンドと共演することができました。
ホントに嬉しかった！

そしてここからまたライブをしながら作曲期間。
悩んで、話し合って、の繰り返しでした。（この間は長くなるから端折ります）

そして2012.12.12にFASTLIFE RECORDSから「My Heart Burned That Day」全国リリース！

ジャケットはSHILL Design！

「Light A Fire (Official Music Video)」

2012年はほんといろいろありました。
初めてのこともいっぱいだったし、初めての人ともいっぱい出会ったし。
ほんと多くの人と繋がれた１年でした。
今年ももっともっと出会っていき、みんなと最高の１年になればなと思います。

2013年はすぐにツアーが始まります。
ほかにもいっぱい楽しみなことがあります。
楽しみだー！


今年もよろしくお願いします！

twloha: In the days after Thanksgiving, i traded emails with my friend David McKenna. He shared that 2012 had been the hardest year of his life. i told him i was sorry for the weight of those words, and we agreed to try to spend some time together soon. Tragically, David was killed in a car accident two weeks ago. In the hours following his death, i learned something that has stayed with me. i learned that David’s final days were hopeful. He was excited about 2013. For some reason, David believed that the year ahead could be different than the one behind. He believed that things could be new. This blog is dedicated to the curious hope that lived inside my friend. i wrote the words below one year ago, wrestling with New Year’s. While i’m proud of what i wrote, it was the words that came in response that meant the most. This blog asks questions and it was amazing to see people answer the questions. Especially on twitter, people from around the world shared their thoughts and feelings for the new year, what they wanted to leave behind and what they wanted to find. It was a blog that grew into something more and i’m posting it here and now in hopes that you might join the conversation.************************************************************************************Five.Four. Three.Two. One.The ball drops and fireworks.

************************************************************************************

Five.
Four. 
Three.
Two. 
One.

The ball drops and fireworks. Resolutions are made. 
People scream and people kiss and is it possible to change?
Is it really truly possible to leave the past behind?

Welcome to Midnight.

Another year comes to a close. Another year begins. 
With a moment in between.
Why the fuss? 
Why the fame and fireworks? 
Is it more than hype? More than something else to sell us?
Is there something to this holiday? Something true inside it?
Because isn’t there something inside us that aches for change…
Dreams it to be possible…
To let go.
To hold on.
To leave it behind.
To start again.
To be new. 
Is it possible? 

If you’re reading this, if there’s air in your lungs, then you’re alive today tonight right now.
And who can know how long we have here…
And is it a gift? Was it ever a gift? Did that ever feel true or could that one day feel true?
Are there things to fight to live for? 
Moments and people… Weddings and children and all your different dreams… 
Love…
Is your life more than just your own?
And are there broken things you were made to fight to fix?
Broken families, broken friends… Injustice.
Will you move for things that matter?

Wouldn’t it be nice if change took just a moment?
Wouldn’t it be nice if it were that easy?
Midnight and we’re new. Midnight and the past erased. Midnight and we’re free.

It seems to come slow. It seems to be a surgery.
Forgiveness. Healing. Sobriety. Letting go. Starting over.
It seems to happen slowly over time.
One day at a time, the choice made new each morning.
Will you fight?
Will you fight to be healthy?
Will you fight to be free?
Will you fight for your story?
Will you fight to get the help you need?

Change takes more than a moment, but maybe there’s also something to this celebration of a moment, something to the way it speaks to us, something to the way we fear it, and dream it to be true. Maybe it’s the most honest moment of the year.

It’s possible to change.

Welcome to Midnight.

Here’s to the possibilities.

Peace to You.

インターネットの一番大きな「罪」はそんなことではないと思います。

「本来知らなくても良いことまで知ってしまう」
「知ってもどうにもできないことまで知ってしまう」

これは人生にとって大きなマイナスだと思うんですよね。その重大さを理解できている人はそんなに多くないような気がします。

Title

少しずつ枠が見えてきました。
いろんな人に聞いてほしいな。
何かしらの刺激に、行動の原動力となればこれほど嬉しいものはないだろう。

そのためにもよりはいすぴーどで。

円

個があるからこそ集があり、
集があるからかそ個があるのだよ
出来の良さはその反転だけども。

関東10日間

関東にレコーディングやライブで行ってました。
何のレコーディングかの詳細は、少しお待ちを。悩んで考えた分、僕ららしいすごく良いものできています。
完成が楽しみだなー。

レコーディングの合間に静岡でRIOT FES 2012でライブでした。
初静岡だったけど、すっげー楽しかったです。また静岡行きます。

人生最後の夏休み。
大学四年間の夏休みはバンドばっかで、大学生らしいことなんてできてないけど、好きなことができてる環境を良かったと思います。
もっともっともっとだけどね。

オリンピックで世界中盛り上がってるねー。
でも裏側では大きな問題がいっぱい起こってるんですよねー。
スポーツにあまり関心がないので、こういうことの方に目が行ってしまうですます。

山口/周南 福岡/小倉

１日目山口周南rise
久しぶりだったかなー。
仲が良いバンドが多く、ライブもみんなで楽しめて最高の１日でした。

２日目福岡小倉WOW
この日の地元から一時地元がないので寂しい。Herish先輩とこうこうせいの時以来の対バンだったので、ドキドキしっぱなしでした。かっこよかったなー。
ライブも普段ライブハウスにこない人が多かったかな？


EPたくさん持って帰ってもらって嬉しいです。ありがとー！
また来てとか、ここに来てとか、地元ないから寂しいですとか、嬉しい言葉たくさんもらいました。
県外までみに来てくれる人もいるし、ライブ楽しみにしてくれてる人がいて、そう言ってもらえることが何よりも勇気になります。
絶対に忘れません。
必ず行きます。
