Generating new things from scratch, by that I mean creating things, is difficult.

But while creating, it becomes visible little by little; it takes shape little by little. It’s a moment I absolutely love. I get really exited.

One of course could never do it alone. When people hand in hand, embrace each others feelings, put together their strength, become one, then there is a possibility that the idea expands. It’s an amazing fact.

On the other side, new things, by that I mean trying new things for the very first time, your heart starts to tremble doesn’t it? You can even get anxious.

Feeling exited and heart trembling.
Fun and anxiety.

I recall of school entrance ceremonies and new school terms starting. Everyone, do you feel exited, is your heart trembling?

Feel a lot of excitement, let your heart tremble, let your heart nourish on them.

And now for the end, a haiku.

Shinkansen
Waking from a doze
Rattle-rattle

Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. Only lies.

Are lies coming into fashion? Are lies the truth? The truth lies?

This is the reality. Right now.

There is no mistake, lies. They are coming into fashion.

Recently. Even the news on TV are like that all the time. Politicians whom I don’t know if they are remarkable or not too. I wonder if the politicians truly from the bottom of their hearts are working for the world peace. I smell nothing other than status and honor.

Lies. There are so many of them that everything starts to seem like lies. This is why it’s difficult to find reality. What is true?

I wonder what would be good for us to believe. It’s a difficult era.

Thus right now too, somewhere, a new life is being born, and somewhere, a life is being lost.

I wonder if there is something that I could do.

It has become colder.

I hope you haven’t caught a cold.
Taking care of your health, right.

Yourself, with great care.
Please love yourself.

No matter how hard
After all again
I start wanting to express myself.

Somehow I feel like communicating.

That kind of me, is me.
This kind of me, is me.

Accept
I’ll love you.

Your pace
While properly leaving behind.

Do pretty ladies,

Right now, I have no words. Words don’t come flowing out.

So much as that, already, in case of making them my words, I will sing with words that have no words.

If making them real, nothing above that or below that too.

Isn’t it about being patient? Isn’t it about one’s senses being low? It’s not a talk about that.

T Things to treasure.
I Right now, where to.
M Maze-like present-day.
E Seeming fabulous.
O “Grownup things” mean “things to be said”.
U Full of lies.
T I am tired.

Reporting from Okinawa.

I’m already coal-black. My entire body hurts. Even my face hurts.

But it’s fun.

The sea is beautiful. The clouds are huge. The alcohol tastes good.

That’s why it’s fun.

I went to a second hand clothes store in Okinawa as well. I made a GET on a fabulous Hawaiian style shirt.

Today it seems I might get burned again. I’ve become a little scared of getting sunburned. Although I am wearing clothes I have slowly become a little bit bolder.

Good evening.
This is Ryo-chan.

At last I went.

I was born, but.

The final in Okinawa was the greatest. I felt again that I am supported and made alive by so many people.

I am really a lucky guy. I am filled with the feelings of gratitude. Thank you.

This year, I am happy that it’s my birthday, but it’s hard to deal with. I am really truly happy from the bottom of my heart, but it’s hard to deal with. I have the intention to express it as well as I can, but it’s hard to deal with. I fail at reaction, I’m really useless when it comes to that, but it’s hard to deal with. There are times when my reaction is completely opposite even when I am really truly happy.

However up to this point, this year it all probably went really well. I think I was able to say thank you to everyone properly. I managed to express it to the members, to the staff.

I have become an adult

It was really a happy day.

Each and every one of the members.
Each and every one of the eighters.
Each and every one of the staff.
Each and every one of the managers.
Each and every one of my family.
Each and every one of my relatives.
Each and every one of my friends.

They are all my treasure. They are the greater gift than anything.

Really truly thank you. I love you. From now on too for our lifetime and beyond, please treat me well.

Okinawa eighters, thank you so much. Eighters, thank you.

Because you guys existed, I was able to live to this point. And because you guys were laughing, we were able to conquer the entire country.

There is no mistake, in us, in you. We can do anything with you guys.

Thank you so much. I really love you. From now on too for our lifetime and beyond, we will be together. Thank you.

I know it will never be enough no matter how many times I said it but, thank you.
