Ryohei's Ameblo Translation: Oct 11, 2011
2011/10/11 by Ryohei
w-inds. appeared on the The Nichi Etsu Yuukou Ongaku Sai event in Vietnam.
With an invitation from Ryotaro Sugi-san, after the last event, we came to vietnam for a second time.
Their language and environment are different, but through music and performaces we were able to touch the hearts of many local people and their culture. We were able to spend some valuable time with everyone.
We've also decided to extend our appointed plans for the overseas tour, and I'm happy that we were able to [fit time] in the production schedule to perform for Vietnam. It's been awhile since we've done that.
We were really anxious and nervous... haha
But even among Vietnam locals, we had fans!
I'm thankful for that.
Speaking of, the time difference between Japan is two hours.
This is kind of a side topic, but I have a feeling that by going to all these overseas [countries,] the bond between w-inds. members and the w-inds. crew will become stronger. It's mysterious.
More than usual, we'll share intimate stories and stuff with everyone.
Well, that's about it.
Thank you to Sugi-san for providing us with this opportunity, Godai Natsuko-san, the rest of the cast, the officials who came, and to everyone of Vietnam.

Keita Tachibana (solo) Oricon Style Q&A [Part 2]
to be directed to the original article (which i do not own), please click here. This was done as a continuation of yesterday's post for 18 Days to Michishirube.
----- From here on out, what kind of artist would you like to become?
In w-inds.' five years, we've tried many types of music, and I've come to like the kind we're doing now. With that in mind, I'd like to try many genres and record them. Right now, more than before, I want to be able to express what I'm feeling now.
----- How do you think your solo music varies from w-inds' music?
w-inds. [releases] songs and dance that can only be done with three people, while solo Keita Tachibana is about the world of lyrics that I'm into. I waited for these lyrics and melodies, and I want to express these feelings. If you can hear my music and feel at least one thing, I'll be happy.
----- And lastly, your message towards your fans.
I, as Keita Tachibana, would like to add something to my lyrics by incorporating and expressing my thoughts. And I'll be happy if my melodies can give everyone a little strength, even if it's only a small amount. Please listen to my "Michishirube" so you can feel what I'm feeling.

Keita Tachibana (solo) Oricon Style Q&A [Part 1]
This was done as part of 18 Days to Michishirube. Check in tomorrow to see the conclusion of this Q&A! I do not own the original article by Oricon, found here.
----- Please briefly explain the details involving your solo debut.
For some time, I've wanted to write my own songs and lyrics. On top of that, I'd say to the agency, "I want to do this kind of music,"and we'd discuss it, but it would always end up that "it's kind of hard to express this [type of music] with w-inds." That's why I decided to go solo.
----- Specifically what kind of music do you want to do?
I've been practicing guitar, so do I want to play guitar and sing. But most importantly, since I've really come to like the world of lyric composition, I want to sing songs that will describe this world.
----- With Michishirube, I feel like Keita has shown the world a life-sized version of himself.
Right. Well, I wrote the song with that intention. Forcing yourself to write [about anything] is fine, but for me, the easiest thing to write about are my personal thoughts.
----- Do you have a message you'd like to get across?
Let's see. Well, I wrote the song because I love people who are trying their best, and I want to support them. Many songs have lent me their strength, and with that in mind I hope people who hear this song will be given the same.
----- Do you think the thoughts included in lyric composers' songs and your songs are any different?
There's no doubt with one's thoughts. Composers all have their own worlds, and they can sing easily and straightforwardly.
----- The title of your coupling song, Koe, seems to have a similar meaning.
Is that true? (blushes and laughs). I want to be able to explain the world of lyrics, and so more than going backwards and singing normal[, overheard] songs, I'm consciously trying to start to sing my own.

Keita's Ameblo Translation: Oct 11, 2011
Vietnam by Keita
Thank you, Vietnam!
The trip was short, but we had a great two days in Vietnam!
As for the live concert, the MC extended longer than intended and we worked super hard, but it was fun! o(^▽^)o
Being on stage with artists from both Japan and Vietnam was awesome!
And thank you for the support from all you local fans!
I want to come to Vietnam again!
I'll do my best (^_－)－☆

The Return from Vietnam by Ryuichi
We did it.
On the flight back home, we had Sugi-san's distilled spirits. And then there was solid ground.
It was laid back and sweet, and we could smell the Satsuma sweet potatoes, which were really god.
But in the end, I got good and drunk and went to sleep.
When we got home, I looked at Godai Natsuko's blog, then started handing out persimmons for no reasons.
Too bad.
On the way home, our car was headed towards the dance studio, so I think I heard Ryohei say, "We're not going to practice, are we?"
Then, "Ryuichi, are you coming as well?"
