[208] C'est bon.

Translation: Delirium-Zer0

I used French in the title, but the phrase means the english word "good", and it's been said quite often.........

Wait, huh?
Before I go into that, I'm back! Me, who hasn't really been saying anything. So now, even though I've kinda blown you off, and I've missed the right times when I could post, I'm gonna talk now. lol

So that "C'est bon", when you say the "bo", the amount of breath you use is pretty small, and I like how it sounds, and even now
it's still hot inside me.
So, that's what I made the title.

Ah, isn't that fun to say??? lol
But but but - change it to "C'est pas bon", and in english
that's "no good".

As for me, I like "C'est bon"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That said, sorry about that really looong introduction. m(__)m
Now, the main subject.

In Paris I was filming the PV for the new song "Mirrorcle World", and it seems that everyone already knew that I was filming the new song's PV there.
I'll leave out all the details though.
But yep, this trip to Paris was my second time in Europe this year.
(I'm leaving out too much.)

But since where I was staying was close to where the shoot was, fans (even kids) from the area all got together and came over to the hotel where I was staying.

And it was REALLY cold out, but every day no matter what they were kind enough to come out, [this part was hard for me to figure out - something about someone saying "okay!" and applause] But I did get to talk to them every now & then, in between shooting,

How come everyone knows these details about me? lol
I was like, AM I REALLY IN FRANCE??? (o_0;)
Really, everyone knowing about it surprised me
& even impressed me.

And also, every day the fans would sing songs like "Who..." and "Voyage" together, all in perfect japanese!!!
Isn't that AWESOME??????? It made me well up! (T_T)
However, the most surprising, was that on the day I went back to Japan, they all got together and sang in a huge chorus,

"Together When..." Oh. Wooooww....

That was all I could say.

"Arigatoutte~ i-itaka-a-taaaa~!
Arigatoutte~ i-enaka-a-taaa~!"
I heard their singing voices but I had to go away quickly, and I started on my way home feeling sad that I had to leave.
Merci! (*^_^*)

So, today I'm waiting to record yet another new song. Off I go! ヾ(^_^)

P.S.:
The PV is UBER-cool so look forward to it!
Of course both songs are very "C'est bon" so it's great!

[206] Waaaaaah~ ∈^0^∋

At the moment, the colours in the sky are so.... beautiful!!!

In sequence from top to bottom, there's blue, lake blue, green, yellow, purple, and just above the buildings is dark blue~

Quick go see it everyone~

It's so beautiful that I want to send the news to everyone immediately~ (^_-)-☆

[205] Ummm...

I decided to write again since everyone's messages were so concerning.

So uh.... um.... it's like...

I, as much as I can, and in my own words, have been wanting to tell you all my thoughts on what's been happening. I figured for sure you would all understand.

Um... yeah. I believe that.
So, I'm writing it, you know?
But even though I love my family, and my staff, I didn't even tell them about it.

No... that's not totally true.
Mama (that's Mikajohn) is the only one I told.
That my left ear couldn't hear.

I decided to go to the hospital, because it felt like something terrible had happened to my ear.

It is because of my new ear monitor, I'd say to everyone.

Honestly, when I heard the doctor say it was untreatable, that I'd come to the hospital too late, my mind went blank.

I have to tell you, in my heart, I can't help but wonder that if I'd had an operation done earlier, maybe I'd have been able to save my hearing.

But no.

Even now I can see the doctor's eyes from that moment. They seemed regretful, apologetic...

So, I smiled.

"Dunno why I knew you'd say that, but I should smile!" I said, and I did smile.
The staff, who i love, were all around me in my quiet hospital room.

But, what I'm saying here, I ask you not to see it in a pessimistic way.

I'm just reacting to the truth of all this.

So, I'm trying not to be sad, I want the light of hope to shine, and I want you to please understand.

It's because everyone said things like, that they should become my left ear, and cry out louder & louder so I can hear you more & more.

Right?

So, I go forth with the right ear that I still have.
I don't think that's an unreasonable thing to do.
It would be best for me.

Nothing to worry about!!!!!!!!!!!

From now on, even as things are, I'm gonna keep on going~~~~~!!!
Come on together with me, everyone~~~~~!!!!!!

I want to show you a dream.
It's neverending, It's invisible
This kind of dream, I want to see.
This is my wish.

Thank you, everyone, everyone, everyone...
Thank you, Mama (Mikajohn).
Thank you.

I love you, Aneki.

Let's go on to my 10th year!!!!!!!!!!!!

[204] P.S.

My resolution this year is tough.

Before the new year, I had an exam on my ears, but my left ear has completely gone deaf, and there's no therapy or treatment that can be done.

Despite that, I still wish to remain a vocalist.

So, until I get to the point where my right ear doesn't work anymore, I'll keep singing.

No giving up.

No making excuses.

I'm a pro, so I'll keep delivering songs that you all can be proud of.

I don't usually like saying "do your best" really, but....

I'm gonna do my best!!!! Definitely!!!

Until that someday...

[200] Digital Single

Translation by Delirium-Zer0 based on an automated translation. Revision by D-Z to come soon.

This is the first time that I've released a digital single,
and we've finished shooting the cover & the PV.

To end the message, here are "Together When..."'s chorus lyrics:

I wanted to say thank you
But I couldn't say thank you
Because it seems too much like an eternal good-bye

it is too sad
And so if I am reborn one day,
I will probably travel around searching for you.

[199] No Title

Translation: evolusean

Just the other day, I lost someone very special to me.

To tell the truth, I was panicking right up until the recording...
That I just wouldn't be able to sing.

But watching from the monitor in the greenroom
How everyone looked as they came into the studio,
Some with kind of excited faces, some with really happy faces,
I knew I had to pull it together.

And then somehow I was able to make it through and sing to the end.

And so I really want to thank you.
Thank you for everything.

And thank you Mika John,
For pushing me to go on stage.

[197] I'm in charge of...
