VMAJ2012. by Keita

It was so fun o(^▽^)o
I had so much fun on stage and even backstage, with all of the amazing artists.
I quite enjoyed talking with AAA's Hidaka-un, Shuuta-kun, and Chiaki-chan.

I received AAA's new song Still Love You and SKY-HI's album FLOATING' LAB -- I'm looking forward to listening to them after this!!
I'd be really happy if they listened to w-inds.' new album MOVE LIKE THIS!

And here's the four of us guys who went to eat together!!

I Don't Have a Rough Draft by Keita

I am without a draft for this update.
At such a troubled time, I rely on my muscles!

I haven't been working out at all this year, but I went back to doing so every day for one week alongside our tour. It was a given that after a performance I'd head to the gym.

I don't have this body right now, so please don't worry. haha
I can change my body into that of a typical overseas actor (￣^￣)ゞ

This is advice I got from people who weight train: i think it's best not to take protein supplements.

Let's consume our protein from our meals.

Also, let's be strong-minded.

as much as I respect you, Keita, I cannot give up my morning whey protein shakes. For all you weight lifters, here's my advice: make coffee and refrigerate it overnight, then mix it with low calorie chocolate whey powder in the morning. depending on your powder, it can be a 112-calorie mocha with 27 grams of protein! I've done this with fat-free, sugarless mint chocolate powder, but it didn't work for me. chilled peppermint mocha, anyone?
and as usual, i do not own this blog post or the image used.

Budoukan!! by Keita

Our final performance at Nippon Budoukan.
We had a great time.
I thought, "I'd be happy just to spend my time like this."
But there's just one glittering instant amount many..
If you try your best with work, with love, and even with socializing,
a shining moment will definitely come.
In the passing time, there will be a right moment in which your efforts are reached.

We've decided that the Hong Kong portion of our tour will be in October, so I've decided to end my blog accordingly.

Please keep up with me here for a bit longer. m(_ _)m

Today's Mezamashi Live was awesome!

Lately everyone has been getting so great that I can't stand it!!
It's an awesome feeling!!

On the way back, there was one more tension-raising thing!!

Golem from Dragon Quest!!

To metal slime!

I want to knock him down!! lol

To Shanghai.

I'm on my way.
I'm looking forward to it because we haven't done a show in a while.
I'm nervous, though, of course. lol

Kind of changing topics here, but I received a thousand paper cranes from some fans the other day.

I'm terribly sorry for making you all worry.

Again, I want to work hard to give you all some good performances!

[Concert Report] MLT 2012 Shizuoka

please note: i tried to be as accurate as possible, but i didn't tae notes during the performance. please forgive me if the information is vague or possibly incorrect.

PICTURES: our cameras were taken upon entrance at 5:00, but they allowed us to take pictures of the venue at 3:00. faces have been edited for privacy.

“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.

w-inds. in 2011

Happy New Year, everyone! Looking back, 2011 has been a big year, hasn't it?
w-inds. to words hopes that 2012 will bring you happiness and fortune.
See you again in the new year!

Yesterday we recorded for Karaoke Chart TOP 100.
It was a fun place for our high spirits.
Tomorrow w-inds. is also going to appear on the 2011 FNS Song Festival.
I want to have fun as I do it.
It's really gotten cold recently, so please be careful not to catch a cold, everyone.
On days like these it's nice to stay at home and watch a rental DVD.
A movie or an overseas drama, perhaps.

The picture is of myself, Go Ueki-san (PaniCrew), SO-san (Derepio), and AICHI-kun.

"Dance" by Keita

It's the mystery how an action shot is captured in a still image. lol

Inside of me I'm practicing, and I'm working to close the gap between the moves inside my head and the moves my body can do.

I'm really dancing all that I can, but the truth is something else.*

I even still have the same singing voice!

Videos to Pictures by Keita

I can do it!

That's what I noticed from the previous blog entry's picture!! lol

I don't usually take a lot of pictures, so I was a bit troubled by the one in my blog.

But I'm always taking videos of my dance, and that doesn't bother me!! lol

Nice KT!!

Hello. by Keita

How are you all doing??
Is that so~
It's so cold, isn't it.
To those of you who have yet to catch a cold, let's all take care of each other~ ^ ^

We appeared on the Asia Children's Film Festival the other day.
It was a sudden appearance, but every year I'm surprised to see children's movies that raise your spirits.
I was moved by these [films] that accurately represent children's selves.
From now on, we'll expect another leap forward in [the world of] film festivals!!

Today was our Hajioji live.

Everyone really raised our spirits!

I'm so thankful!

In the end, we all end up having fun together.

I'll be really happy if our next live, at the Budoukan, turns out well. 

The picture was taken together with our good friends in the agency.

Everyone is a good person, making for an amazing friend. 

This is of w-inds. and Daichi Miura-kun and Lead-san.

Good evening. by Keita

Recently it's started to get dark earlier.
the other day, we had a lot of fun at our live event in Gunma Prefecture.
It'd been a while since we were at Gunma, so it had a fresh feeling for us.
I wanna go again o(^▽^)o
Yesterday we all got together and were interviewed, which was rare!!

This is with Daichi Miura-kun and Lead-kun.
Everyone's so serious!!
We're learning a routine!! haha
