[Note] gratitude

i've been meaning to say this for a very long time.
even though i quit updating this blog, i periodically check its stats. I'm always curious to see how many people still sift through its pages. And i must admit that the numbers are always astonishing. thank you so much for taking the time to read these translations -- i am ever so thankful and honoured. thank you so much, everyone. 

[Concert Report] MLT 2012 Shizuoka

“Hey, people, it’s T2P. T2P.” On July 28, 2012, w-inds. appeared in a small theatre in Shizuoka to put on a fun, theatric, and intimate event. They performed at Dai Hall from 6:07 pm to 8:03 pm. Concert goods were sold from 2:00 pm; by 3:00 there were no lines and plenty of merchandise to choose from. Fans escaped the heat by excitedly waiting inside the venue, during which point some dedicated w-inds. fans passed around a Mount Fuji t-shirt for us all to sign. The shirt was indirectly given to w-inds., along with a photo of some of the fans who came.
            The show began with the traditional revealing of the stage set, with music blaring so loud that it vibrated through our hearts. We become increasingly excited as a computer-generated video plays on the main television screen. a simulated aircraft “arrived” and “landed,” from which point the three boys were elevated on a platform from below the stage.
