Sorry for being MIA but here's the latest photoshigenic. Hopefully more to come! :D

Happy birthday Shige!

For the past two months I was focused on butai. It really turned out to be a great experience. To the fans that I met, thank you very much for coming all the way to see us. Of course from the members, past costars, the dear people related to the entertainment industry, and from the various people who came, thank you for giving me lots of flowers. Maruyama-kun of Kanjani 8 also came during the closing day of the Osaka show. I actually didn't have any plans, but after the closing performance in Tokyo I got an email. "I missed it, but good job on the performance in Tokyo. The butai illustrating the life of a cicada... it was interesting because I've never heard of it. Based on how it looked I wanted to go, but because my schedule did not agree, this time with tears, I gave up on going. From September, the Osaka cicada, in the summer more so, stay one step ahead in semi... good luck continuing your butai. I'll be cheering you on from far away. Semi, cicada*, using that as a boke would really be a useless reply, so try not to use it." ...what a funny mail. Thinking that he's an interesting fellow, I entered the Osaka theatre and there were flowers sent to me. Normally if you're in the same agency then you wouldn't give flowers. But-- he really is a wonderful senpai. Yet even while saying that he eventually ended up coming to see the butai. Thank you very much. I really didn't want to write this but, it just came out. Sorry. I'll send you a funny email soon, so wait for it!

*[This entry was a play on words: cicada is pronounced "semi" so the title literally meant "cicada-nar."]

In the June issue the suggest we thought of, "elbow pizza", was well liked,
This month the chosen subject had positive participation from the producer Masuda.
"This month will be this" and put down chairs, with Shige sitting in the middle,
lively saying "Chairs are good!"*
Koyama and Tegoshi were there, and also the staff had taken the photo it, thanks to their ability.
".......It looks like I slipped off! Uwa~ it looks like a public execution!"
Shige obediently obeyed the producer.
Nice combo!

Polaroid:
Hey. Doesn't look like I slipped?
Chairs are good.*

*[Again, play on words. Originally this said: イス、いいっす (isu, iissu) where isu means chair, and the second part a casual way of saying "いいです" (iidesu)]

What a great smile--. Koyama looks very lively, ne. Recently he's had a lot of time on his hands, so he's been fully enjoying his private time. I feel so envious. Now that I mention it Koyama-san has been working on his radio show, and when I came on as a guest I said that Koyama resembled "Kinnikuman's Ramenman." After that, during our concert the Koyama uchiwa's that fans made became Ramenman uchiwas. Sorry Koyama. Then, on the most recent radio show a postcard came that said "If the NEWS members were from GeGeGe no Kitaro what do you think you would be?" and to the sender, I said that I was like "Medama Oyaji" and I thoroughly wrote the reason why. But, Koyama said... "Ittamomen." Reason was "Just because." ...Being told that, there is a resemblance I think. He really does look like him... bububu. He'd be a yellow Ittamomen. I can laugh... again again sorry Koyama. This time your uchiwas may increase.

*[Kinnikuman is a popular manga about a wrestler. Ramenman is a part of the show as well. You can Wikipedia it to see if there is any resemblance.
In addition, GeGeGe no Kitaro is a popular manga about ghosts and spirits. Medama Oyaji is the "Eyeball father" who is Kitaro's father. Ittamomen is the strip of cloth that flies around and Kitaro often travels on him.]
