masato, 2009-09
Bulk form time! :D
Also, who said we haven't been active? Sry for having a life.
2009-09-01 11:29:45
Thank you for the dream.
I was disconnected from everyone that helped me with the Oro-C campaign.
I'm sorry.
I think there was about 190 subscriptions but it didn't reach [the goal] did it!
But everyone, thank you so much!
I have a lot of Oronamin C in my house so I'll keep my strength up and do my best!
I thought, 'Is there a gift that I can give everyone?', but I guess returning peta a few times is it?
I think, the Cinderella peta I get from September 2nd, from then until 00:30 I want to return the peta to those people!
Can I leave peta for everyone in 30 minutes?
I guess it'll be a lot of peta to return, and I might not return it to those that miss [the Cinderella] although I will do my best!
This is my way of thanks to everyone!
Right now I can't do the things I can do, but please accept it if you'd like na☆
ByeBye.

My dream came true☆
Official update!
They finished my guitar!
Well I already got my guitar of my dreams at the time but I'm my excitement was unbearable!
My guitar was made buy the maker FERNANDES☆ [what happened to purple again? XD er, also masato's model isn't on the site.]
The bigger the voices are, I'll make it into the model and so I'm waiting for your voices so that the masato model isn't just a dream!
The next dream guitar is the masato model!
I'm really happy!
It was here when I got home, and when I walked in it was lying down on my futon (laughs)
By the way I'll be using this guitar for the second part of tomorrow☆
This is a promise to the maker!
Honestly, my dream was to have my own guitar made by FERNANDES☆
Tomorrow the live will be the first fulfilled dream so everyone, yoroshiku!
And now my neighbor is glancing at the quality as I blog!
I'm so happy~!
Although, having instruments made for SuG is a big thing, but it's because of everyone's support, so I think my dream came true because of everyone!
Thank you so much!
Let's have fun tomorrow too!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-03 23:48:37
The beginning.
Thank you everyone that came today!
I think that there are fans that saw the HP and know already, but from today SuG has become a 5-man band.
From today again, SuG will do their best as possible to be the strongest.
Because of that, everyone's support is really important.
It's for sure a new decision start thanks to everyone, and I want to make the best scene with everyone.
Therefore, everyone, yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
Everyone with us, we'll make SuG the strongest band!
Also thank you for the letters today!
I can really feel the support from everyone's powerful voices!
Thank you!
Well, before today's live even begins the equipment has already broken.
But we've already climbed over the 'we can't go on since the production parts break' thing, since I got to borrow an amp from someone important!
It's the most atrocious trouble for a perfect band life.
I guess we don't really climb over the trouble that comes.
About 10 seconds before the start of Scheat I changed my guitar! [TN: The original arrangement for the song is on 6 string guitars, but after Scheat released masato switched to a 7 string (Diamond Schecter in Alterna., and since then has been using and buying only 7 string guitars.]
It was really rushed!
I saved my new guitar for it!
There were many crossed over wires but it's okay since this is the kind of situation that comes with work! [TN: on stage. Note that he has a pedal board too, so there's usually a lot of wires where he stands]
This child is really amazing! [...what's with JRockers calling their favorite guitars 'this child'?? o.O]
Ahh, you'll see a vary of guitar talk from now on!
I promised everyone that we'd become the best band, so from today, everyone, yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
Love to all the Papico
Thank you
ByeBye.

Battle injury
I already wounded my guitar at yesterday's live!
Ah, but the picture doesn't show of where it is!
The other guitar I bought won't recover from it's injury, but this time it's okay since it's rather like a battle wound instead! [TN: dented/scratched. Er, I'm guessing he's talking about one of his black guitars. But masato, be glad the neck didn't snap! At least it's just a few dozen dents!]
So it's okay...
It's...
Okay...
(laughs)
Yeah, it's like that!
It's only a small wound so I don't mind it!
As one would expect though, if it gets wounded then I'll be in plentiful shock!
By the way, there were fans that wanted to hear about the guitar but do you still want to hear of it?
I'll reply to everyone if your voices are loud enough☆
It seems I have an obsession with it's appearance too, but to be honest as a guitarist I'm packed with obsession! [THIS. SO HARD. My f-list knows what I mean |D]
I think there are a few fans that play guitar that want to know [of my guitar].
Since it's like the instrument of the artist I like! [TN: hide]
I'm waiting for your messages on those things said☆
Since there are a lot of fans that have in interest of how hard it is to make this instrument into a product, everyone had made the maker interested in making it! "So? How about it? Do you want me to make it?"
And because of that I'm already facing my next dream☆
ByeBye.

Obsession! From a guitarist's POV compilation
There are hot feelings in the answers so I'll tell everyone of my obsession with this guitar. [TN: ...it sounds weird in English, but obv it's to sound positive]
The image is the back of my guitar!
I wonder if you know the difference between the surfaces?
You can see the glaze in the other photo, but on this side there's no glaze at all! [TN: WHOO, my turn for geeky guitar talk! Basically, since the back isn't really viewed when performing there's no point in putting glaze over the entire guitar. Especially since the neck of masato's guitar is through, therefore using the same wood. What they likely did was just finish it off with varnish]
I fussed a lot over this!
It's good that the front is glittery, but the bottom of the guitar is an important part too!
But since there's no glaze the wood feels nice!
And the neck is a through-neck which means that they made it with one 1 sort of wood, so body is connected [to the neck]☆
Also, in the previous entry where I obsessed, the switches of the guitar; volume, tone, coil tap switch, direct switch and selector switch!
I guess people don't know this part of the instrument?
Well they are useful functions of the guitar, since they vary in what kind of sound the guitar puts out☆
At a live some time ago I was saved by this function!
And since I got question in fanmail about pickups and strings, I'll answer☆ [GIVE ME A MOMENT, I'M STILL GOING 'OMFG I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WAS THE TIME I STOPPED CHECKING YOUR BLOG'.]
I use 2 pickups from DiMarzio, the front being D Activator and the back D Sonic!
And I use D'Addario EXL110 set for 7 strings!
Since they only have 10~59s for 7 strings the strings are really thick!
Since SuG's songs are 7 strings we drop the tuning to drop A! [TN: GENIUS ♥! Remember that yuji uses a 6 string, so the tunings are obv different if both guitars are in standard. Anyone that knows basic music theory should get this, but to those that don't -- yuji's guitar is drop C, which fits with masato's drop A tuning because A minor is the relative key of C major.]
Ahh it's nearing 2 years since I've been using these string I guess?
This is the kind of impression of obsession a guitarist has☆ [damn right]
The things I won't talk about are the hard to understand ones?
Well, the easiest thing to understand is the body of the guitar, so it'll be good if you remembered about the glaze on the top but not of the bottom of the guitar I guess?
You don't normally see guitars that are made like this in instrument shops, since they are quite special☆ [TN: custom made guitars aren't custom made for no reason -- majority of them are specifically made for certain artists (as you can tell), but there are models that are called 'custom', too. For instance, the Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty is an upgraded model from it's brother LP, Les Paul Goldtop, not an actual custom model made from scratch like masato's.]
Well, this was the obsession of a guitarist!
Next is an appearance compilation☆
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-08 11:10:59
Obsession! Appearance compilation
Appearance compilation!
Well, the appearance on the red body has grains where the gold parts mainly are, and since that's really easy to understand, today I'll talk about the head of the guitar!
Which is this part!
This is the best looking!
There's the grain on this part too up until the neck with white framing!
It's perfectly frozen with reduced gold parts☆
It's quite gorgeous, right!
It's really quite that sense!
Ah, well, if this guitar was made into a product would the fans want to buy it?
If this wasn't limited, how much would spend if you wanted to buy your favorite artist model?
I want to know the fan's feelings [on this]!
It'd be good if you told me since this is a simple thing that I want to know!
But guitars aren't cheap, so don't say things like 'free'! or even '5000 yen!', so persistently tell me the cost for the guitar!
Well, I don't really have plans for turning my guitar into a model so I'll refer to this from now on☆
See you!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-12 14:46:56
Cold!
It's really cold today!
I'm quite surprised that it is!
Ahh the weather is so dull naa.
I unintentionally took a photo from my window.
I want the weather to be clear for the tour!
Since it's been cold recently, everyone be careful to not catch a cold!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-14 11:33:15
Osaka today!
Good morning!
The weather was good when I woke up earlier but it's getting cloudy!
I hope it doesn't rain.
Ahh, but I'll have fun today with all my strength☆
ByeBye.
_____
17:58:36
Setup complete!
I'll do my best today too☆
I'll get changed just after this!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-15 00:00:10
Thank you Osaka!
I borrowed AND's Ken-chan's armband for today's live!
I became an agent! (laughs)
I knew that tension went up with everyone's influence that AND has gotten good!
But aside from that, the tension goes up with different bands doesn't it!
We were able to do an enjoyably hot live☆
Thank you!
And thank you for the letters!
I'm happy that I get drinks and tobacco during the tour!
Since there's no conbini around the hotel, I'll save it for when I want to take a day off!
Thank you☆
Well, next is Fukuoka!
Everyone let's make the tension hotly rise in Fukuoka too☆
ByeBye.
_____
13:44:42
Dull.
This morning it was raining, and it just stopped so it looks dull!
I want it to clear up!
But I guess you can see the blue part where it's cleared up a bit?
I'm bothered by how used I've become to seeing the scenery on tour.
I guess there's no new scenes.
ByeBye.
_____
17:44:03
It cleared!
It cleared up!
Even though it's the evening (laughs)
It was dangerous since it was warm while driving (laughs)
It easily gets warm in the car though!
My tension went upper☆
If you noticed, I've been caught up saying 'upper' since the guest DJ from September 3rd, Kerwin, used it a lot (laughs)
See you!
ByeBye.
_____
21:39:56
Food cart!
It's my first time eating at a food cart but it was good!
We had a lot of fun since we wanted to go around!
ByeBye.
_____
21:57:22
Silver person!
Near the food cart, there was a Silver Geisha!
Fukuoka has awesome people!
It's interesting☆
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-16 11:45:55
Good morning!
The weather feels good today!
I'm all energetic since I drank Oro-C☆
Let's have fun today!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-17 00:20:36
Fukuoka!
Thank you Fukuoka!
It might have just been my imagination, but everyone seemed stiff today?
I wonder if everyone that came to Fukuoka had fun?
It's good if you had fun, but today during each band's performance I got the impression that everyone was stiff!
As for me, I really had fun today!
Since I was able to study the ways of song structure [from other bands] today☆
Thank you everyone!
And thank you for the letters!
After today's live finished everyone went out to eat Motsunabe!
When we come to Fukuoka we almost certainly eat ramen and Motsunabe!
It was delicious today, too☆
I ate garlic since we don't have a live tomorrow (laughs)
I'm satisfied☆
The next live is at Okayama!
Everyone at Okayama, yoroshiku!
ByeBye.
_____
11:33:40
It's hot!
The weather is really good!
It's quite hot!
I'll do my best to drive by drinking Oro-C for now!
ByeBye.
_____
13:40:53[-GASP-! HE DIDN'T USE BYEBYE. XD]
Reward!
Since I did my best driving in the hot [weather] I'll eat ice cream as a reward!
Don't mind Peichan's hand in the photo (laughs)
=X=X=X=
2009-09-18 10:31:37
Good morning!
Okayama today!
I'll definitely do my best since it's the last day of the tour!
The fans from Okayama, have fun with all your strength ok!
See you later!
ByeBye.
_____
22:22:17
Okayama!
Thank you!
We did a good live today too!
I was able to find a new sound to make too! [TN: aka he got some inspiration to do some composing]
I'm glad that it feels that everyone is having fun in general!
Thank you!
And thank you for the letters!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-19 19:23:49
I'm home!
Safely returned home!
Ahh but since we usually return directly from Nagoya, the level of returning from Osaka and Okayama is naturally different!
The 3 places give really different impressions!
From the time we arrived from Okayama to Tokyo, everyone was saying "punching is effective..." (laughs) [TN: there's a meaning to this, I just don't know what :|]
We were quite exhausted!
Ahh I'll slowly recover today!
It's best to arrive back safely!
See you!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-20 02:33:53
It's drying
It's almost done☆
I'm thrilled☆
I'll introduce it when it's done!
Spraying on the varnish in the dead of the night is bad (laughs)
ByeBye.

16:44:33
Eva mini yonku
I was working on this yesterday night!
I don't think I wrote it in the previous entry, but I completed the Eva mini yonku☆ [TN: Eva = Evangelion]
The first issue came with the chance to color in the mini yonku!
It's good since I like the first issue!
By the way, this kit has quite good performance!
Ah, well the general mini yonku is expensive.
But this one will run the same as the plastic models!
I haven't painted on the part where the sticker goes but it will be so cool when it's complete!
Well, I have a whole bunch of stickers [to choose from].
It's been a long time since I've made one with spray, so it was fun☆
If I make one again I'll write on the blog!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-21 22:36:52
Perhaps.
I've gotten a taiyaki boom.
The day after the Ikebukuro live I found this photo on the way home!
The skin, or rather the texture, is of a baked taiyaki right?
Isn't it awesome?
Though there were some people lined up for it, it was tasty☆
By the way, at this intersection of Ogawa in Tokyo, there's a daruma in the merchant's home!
I don't go very much, so it's unusual for me to have introduced the merchant's home☆
To the ones that live near, search for it in Tokyo!
Maybe I've gotten a taiyaki boom!
I want to eat taiyaki!
ByeBye.
_____
23:19:00
Everyone likes taiyaki!
I was surprised of the amount of fanmail I got from everyone!
Everyone likes it ri～ght☆
I want to eat white taiyaki and custard taiyaki!
Though I guess the custard taiyaki isn't the rare one.
Basically, I can't settle down if I don't have 2 taiyakis to eat?
Having only 1 is unsatisfactory?
I'll go to a taiyaki shop near me if you recommend me places☆
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-23 07:59:03
Good morning!
Breakfast!
Or rather everyone really likes taiyaki!
The number of fanmail isn't odd (laughs)
By the way, this is Kokura's strawberry and milk☆
And also, I basically eat the head.
There was a lot of fanmail for the white taiyaki but there were different places to search for!
Though, I got many that had the same shop name, so I'll go there since it surely has to be tasty!
Ok, I'll go eat☆
ByeBye.
_____
12:42:24
2 white taiyakis was a lot.
2 was too much.
Because of that mochi.
My stomach is going gyuhyuwaー. [TN: ...basically, digesting.]
Do you know? This feeling?
Though I'll be cautious of the times I eat white taiyaki, I'll aim on eating although I'm full!
I don't learn by experience (laughs)
For now I'll go to the Plastic Model shop since I've arrived in Nagoya.
There's a mountain of treasure from Osaka and Okayama on this tour too☆
Particularly Okayama!
And after today I'll look at the letters!
I only go on tour and to the Plastic Model shop (laughs)
Going away from Tokyo, I get a lot of treasure☆
Today, what I bought in Tokyo, the guy was wondering if I'd buy it or not, so I feel like playing with that!
See you later☆
ByeBye.
_____
12:50:42
Spoils of war!
Although I'm walking to my car as I'm walking, I'll quickly introduce today's spoil of war!
It's like this!
It's 1 kit and 1 part!
Err, though there wasn't any treasure.
Though I already went to the general part of the major city, I want to go to a deeper place.
Since it'll have more treasure!
The tour is treasure hunting! (laughs)
ByeBye.
_____
20:21:34
Otsukaresama Nagoya!
We really like AND (laughs)
Ah, don't worry, we make friends with other bands too! [DAIZY~~~]
We have a lot of with AND!
Thank you Nagoya!
It was a hot live today! And today was hot [in general too]!
Hm? It's the results of the live house?
But there were plenty of pleasant vibes from everyone's smiling faces today, so it was really fun!
Thank you everyone!
Thank you for the letters!
Since it was the tour final, it was really fun gathering for it!
Tomorrow's live is at JCB Hall so I'll quickly go to bed so I can do my best!
We'll have fun since tomorrow's venue is spacious!
Everyone from Tokyo, yoroshiku!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-24 23:31:19
JCB!
It was fun☆
Yesterday's moving was dreadful but it was fun today too, so we were really blown away!
The guest seating was a bit smaller than Budoukan's but it's been so long since it's felt that good!
The bands that we went around with was really fun, and they're really wonderful too!
We got to see CASCADE-san perform Saki Midare~yo~ for the first time, I was so excited!
When I was watching TV back in the day it was only this voice!
Iyaa it was a great day☆
These 2 days were hard so I'll quickly go to bed!
Everyone, rest at ease too!
Good night☆
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-25 13:10:40
Strong sunlight!
It's such a strong day of sunlight!
This is a spray type of sunscreen!
For summer this year I got this to help me☆
Since generally the cream type of sunscreen smells, it makes my stomach smell bad. [...you actually put it on your stomach!? And here I thought he was the type to keep his shirt on while at the beach or smth... xD]
Do you know? I guess there's no one that knows.
I use this type of spray since it doesn't smell as much!
I feel at ease with the spray!
Well, it's actually because the smell of this smells like grass (laughs)
So I'm not bothered by the smell of sunscreen.
I guess it's good though?
Oh yeah, I forgot!
Good morning! (laughs)
Morning greetings are important! Even though it's already noon!
ByeBye.
_____
13:48:54
White taiyaki!
I found a chocolate and custard one!
I bought it immediately (laughs)
I'll start with the chocolate one☆
ByeBye.
_____
13:53:20
Next is custard!
The chocolate one is good!
Ah! It's not rare! [TN: he means that it's not rare for him to buy them anymore xD]
I'm already on the custard one!
I won't stop eating this one either!
I'll buy either one of these after! (laughs)
ByeBye.
_____
17:15:04
Found it again!
I found another taiyaki shop!
There are a few people lined up!
I have no choice but to buy some!
The thin skinned custard one and the thickly sliced taiyaki!
ByeBye.
_____
17:18:31
Cute!
I got small a taste-test taiyaki!
It's cute☆
And it's tasty!
ByeBye.
_____
17:20:27
Thickly sliced!
The thickly sliced one is standard but it's tasty!
It's not rare☆
If I finish this one I'll get a custard one!
ByeBye.
_____
17:31:14
Thin skin taiyaki!
Melted custard flavor!
This is tasty too☆
White taiyaki is good too, but of course the standard taiyaki is the best?
I like the texture of the flavor☆
Some were quite expensive!
While I was walking to this store, I suddenly heard Ogoge Taiyaki-kun and found it as I looked around☆ [TN: as in he was actually going somewhere else but thanks to that song... xD]
I really like taiyaki, huh (laughs)
I've updated my blog a lot with only taiyaki and ate 4 pieces and 2 small pieces of taiyaki, so my blog is perfection with taiyaki (laughs)
Aah, I'm satisfied with this, today☆
ByeBye.
_____
21:14:26
With the exception of taiyaki!
I seemingly have no choice about the taiyaki today, but today I went to the Plastic Model shop to drive the mini yonkus!
I'm lucky that there weren't many people [at the store today] since it's a weekday☆
Although the people that can talk about mini yonku are sociable and are good to hang out with, I'm glad that I got to play alone (laughs)
But I have no mini yonku friends!
There are bandmen that like it too but they lose interest of it, so I don't actually know who's interested in it!
Ahh but I'm happy to talk with people in that situation!
That are a lot of ojisans and really early people!
Why are there so many early people that don't know about it! [TN: early people = when the mini yonkus first came about, I guess]
It's been a while since I've driven these, after this I'll do home to edit things for the members since I can't help it so I'll go now! [TN: correcting parts of the composition to make it flow]
Today was productive!
Or well, I made it productive☆yeah, it's like that!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-26 23:17:15
AREA!
Today felt really long, too!
It was fun!
Thank you everyone!
The picture is counting a sheep's Masa-san's guitar and my guitar! [TN: counting a sheep is Dolly's alter ego band :D]
Do you know which one is mine?
Masa-san's guitar and mine are actually siblings☆
Masa-san the oniisan!
It was made before Masa-san, but my guitar was able to copy the original!
But the body dimensions are really different, so there are a lot of things [about them] that are different, although its the same type!
Finally, with counting a sheep my guitar is completed, so I took a photo as a memory☆
Well, that was part of the unknown story!
And thank you for today, everyone!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-27 15:53:57
I've made a lot recently!
I've been doing nothing but making mini yonkus lately, so I think every once in a while I'll post them up!
This one is Blitzer Sonic Black Special!
I like that this shape gives quite a good but sharp sense!
Maybe it'll be popular!
As for yesterday's guitar talk, everyone was generally right☆ [TN: talking about the fanmail he got to his question of 'which one is my guitar?']
Mine is the one on the left!
For those that got it wrong, you should look at my guitar more! (laughs)
See you later!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-28 12:36:29
Strap!
I got a small mini yonku strap for free from the coffee everyone gave me!
My tension is uselessly rising! (laughs)
ByeBye.
_____
22:15:06
Liberty Emperor GPA
I like this one a lot too!
But it was hard to paint it...
I always use those lovely Gundam markers on the paint but it's really hard [to use it] on the smallest place!
I guess I need a writing brush then?
Until I'm prepared with a writing brush I'll do these regularly.
Ahh but it turned out alright when I put on the sticker and then sprayed it☆
There's no place for where the mini yonku can drive freely huh.
Since there aren't really many places.
Ah, this really is a mini yonku and taiyaki blog, isn't it (laughs)
So! Because of that I'll make it about guitars again for the maker for having it modded, since I have a lot of things to be doing!
The latest thing I've tried was the really good sound that my guitar gave!
Why does it seem like this is a tsudere type thing (laughs)
See you☆
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-30 13:38:22
Stingray!
It's a photo of a stingray in the water tank!
Isn't the underside of the stingray cute?
I was chasing after the stingray as it was swimming to take a photo! (laughs)
Because of Chiyu-kun and Peichan I was treated like a weird person (laughs)
I'll do my best photographing!
ByeBye.
_____
20:36:45
I suddenly noticed!
I write on my blog about the latest mini yonku I've made, but as for the title [of this entry] I didn't write the name of this mini yonku?
I just noticed it.
If everyone has access to it, do look up superior rankings!
I wrote 2 pages of Liberty Emperor some time ago.
The point is that I'm borrowing everyone's power so I can appeal my love for mini yonku for Tamiya-san (laughs)
Is this alright?
Isn't it awesome?
It'd be perfect for Tamiya-san to find this!
The best would be like "This guy really likes mini yonku doesn't he!" (laughs)
Well actually I don't know Kansai-ben. Well Tamiya-san's company is in Shizuoka. [TN: the above line he wrote in Kansai :D]
Well if he does find it, Maatan will offer his mini yonkus for sale (laughs)
But for borrowing everyone's power for perfection, well, it generally makes me happy that everyone reads my blog.
This tactic will go smoothly right?
Tamiya-san, if you do notice please contact PS COMPANY and I'll reply straight away as I'm waiting for you☆
By the way, I like Emperor the best!
For my general fans (laughs)
There are a lot of boys huh.
Well, I won't forget this feeling of being a child☆
For now, I'll stock up on images of the ones I've recently made so look forward to it!
ByeBye.
Also, who said we haven't been active? Sry for having a life.
2009-09-01 11:29:45
Thank you for the dream.
I was disconnected from everyone that helped me with the Oro-C campaign.
I'm sorry.
I think there was about 190 subscriptions but it didn't reach [the goal] did it!
But everyone, thank you so much!
I have a lot of Oronamin C in my house so I'll keep my strength up and do my best!
I thought, 'Is there a gift that I can give everyone?', but I guess returning peta a few times is it?
I think, the Cinderella peta I get from September 2nd, from then until 00:30 I want to return the peta to those people!
Can I leave peta for everyone in 30 minutes?
I guess it'll be a lot of peta to return, and I might not return it to those that miss [the Cinderella] although I will do my best!
This is my way of thanks to everyone!
Right now I can't do the things I can do, but please accept it if you'd like na☆
ByeBye.

My dream came true☆
Official update!
They finished my guitar!
Well I already got my guitar of my dreams at the time but I'm my excitement was unbearable!
My guitar was made buy the maker FERNANDES☆ [what happened to purple again? XD er, also masato's model isn't on the site.]
The bigger the voices are, I'll make it into the model and so I'm waiting for your voices so that the masato model isn't just a dream!
The next dream guitar is the masato model!
I'm really happy!
It was here when I got home, and when I walked in it was lying down on my futon (laughs)
By the way I'll be using this guitar for the second part of tomorrow☆
This is a promise to the maker!
Honestly, my dream was to have my own guitar made by FERNANDES☆
Tomorrow the live will be the first fulfilled dream so everyone, yoroshiku!
And now my neighbor is glancing at the quality as I blog!
I'm so happy~!
Although, having instruments made for SuG is a big thing, but it's because of everyone's support, so I think my dream came true because of everyone!
Thank you so much!
Let's have fun tomorrow too!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-03 23:48:37
The beginning.
Thank you everyone that came today!
I think that there are fans that saw the HP and know already, but from today SuG has become a 5-man band.
From today again, SuG will do their best as possible to be the strongest.
Because of that, everyone's support is really important.
It's for sure a new decision start thanks to everyone, and I want to make the best scene with everyone.
Therefore, everyone, yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
Everyone with us, we'll make SuG the strongest band!
Also thank you for the letters today!
I can really feel the support from everyone's powerful voices!
Thank you!
Well, before today's live even begins the equipment has already broken.
But we've already climbed over the 'we can't go on since the production parts break' thing, since I got to borrow an amp from someone important!
It's the most atrocious trouble for a perfect band life.
I guess we don't really climb over the trouble that comes.
About 10 seconds before the start of Scheat I changed my guitar! [TN: The original arrangement for the song is on 6 string guitars, but after Scheat released masato switched to a 7 string (Diamond Schecter in Alterna., and since then has been using and buying only 7 string guitars.]
It was really rushed!
I saved my new guitar for it!
There were many crossed over wires but it's okay since this is the kind of situation that comes with work! [TN: on stage. Note that he has a pedal board too, so there's usually a lot of wires where he stands]
This child is really amazing! [...what's with JRockers calling their favorite guitars 'this child'?? o.O]
Ahh, you'll see a vary of guitar talk from now on!
I promised everyone that we'd become the best band, so from today, everyone, yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
Love to all the Papico
Thank you
ByeBye.

Battle injury
I already wounded my guitar at yesterday's live!
Ah, but the picture doesn't show of where it is!
The other guitar I bought won't recover from it's injury, but this time it's okay since it's rather like a battle wound instead! [TN: dented/scratched. Er, I'm guessing he's talking about one of his black guitars. But masato, be glad the neck didn't snap! At least it's just a few dozen dents!]
So it's okay...
It's...
Okay...
(laughs)
Yeah, it's like that!
It's only a small wound so I don't mind it!
As one would expect though, if it gets wounded then I'll be in plentiful shock!
By the way, there were fans that wanted to hear about the guitar but do you still want to hear of it?
I'll reply to everyone if your voices are loud enough☆
It seems I have an obsession with it's appearance too, but to be honest as a guitarist I'm packed with obsession! [THIS. SO HARD. My f-list knows what I mean |D]
I think there are a few fans that play guitar that want to know [of my guitar].
Since it's like the instrument of the artist I like! [TN: hide]
I'm waiting for your messages on those things said☆
Since there are a lot of fans that have in interest of how hard it is to make this instrument into a product, everyone had made the maker interested in making it! "So? How about it? Do you want me to make it?"
And because of that I'm already facing my next dream☆
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-05 22:24:47
Obsession! From a guitarist's POV compilation
There are hot feelings in the answers so I'll tell everyone of my obsession with this guitar. [TN: ...it sounds weird in English, but obv it's to sound positive]
The image is the back of my guitar!
I wonder if you know the difference between the surfaces?
You can see the glaze in the other photo, but on this side there's no glaze at all! [TN: WHOO, my turn for geeky guitar talk! Basically, since the back isn't really viewed when performing there's no point in putting glaze over the entire guitar. Especially since the neck of masato's guitar is through, therefore using the same wood. What they likely did was just finish it off with varnish]
I fussed a lot over this!
It's good that the front is glittery, but the bottom of the guitar is an important part too!
But since there's no glaze the wood feels nice!
And the neck is a through-neck which means that they made it with one 1 sort of wood, so body is connected [to the neck]☆
Also, in the previous entry where I obsessed, the switches of the guitar; volume, tone, coil tap switch, direct switch and selector switch!
I guess people don't know this part of the instrument?
Well they are useful functions of the guitar, since they vary in what kind of sound the guitar puts out☆
At a live some time ago I was saved by this function!
And since I got question in fanmail about pickups and strings, I'll answer☆ [GIVE ME A MOMENT, I'M STILL GOING 'OMFG I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WAS THE TIME I STOPPED CHECKING YOUR BLOG'.]
I use 2 pickups from DiMarzio, the front being D Activator and the back D Sonic!
And I use D'Addario EXL110 set for 7 strings!
Since they only have 10~59s for 7 strings the strings are really thick!
Since SuG's songs are 7 strings we drop the tuning to drop A! [TN: GENIUS ♥! Remember that yuji uses a 6 string, so the tunings are obv different if both guitars are in standard. Anyone that knows basic music theory should get this, but to those that don't -- yuji's guitar is drop C, which fits with masato's drop A tuning because A minor is the relative key of C major.]
Ahh it's nearing 2 years since I've been using these string I guess?
This is the kind of impression of obsession a guitarist has☆ [damn right]
The things I won't talk about are the hard to understand ones?
Well, the easiest thing to understand is the body of the guitar, so it'll be good if you remembered about the glaze on the top but not of the bottom of the guitar I guess?
You don't normally see guitars that are made like this in instrument shops, since they are quite special☆ [TN: custom made guitars aren't custom made for no reason -- majority of them are specifically made for certain artists (as you can tell), but there are models that are called 'custom', too. For instance, the Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty is an upgraded model from it's brother LP, Les Paul Goldtop, not an actual custom model made from scratch like masato's.]
Well, this was the obsession of a guitarist!
Next is an appearance compilation☆
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-08 11:10:59
Obsession! Appearance compilation
Appearance compilation!
Well, the appearance on the red body has grains where the gold parts mainly are, and since that's really easy to understand, today I'll talk about the head of the guitar!
Which is this part!
This is the best looking!
There's the grain on this part too up until the neck with white framing!
It's perfectly frozen with reduced gold parts☆
It's quite gorgeous, right!
It's really quite that sense!
Ah, well, if this guitar was made into a product would the fans want to buy it?
If this wasn't limited, how much would spend if you wanted to buy your favorite artist model?
I want to know the fan's feelings [on this]!
It'd be good if you told me since this is a simple thing that I want to know!
But guitars aren't cheap, so don't say things like 'free'! or even '5000 yen!', so persistently tell me the cost for the guitar!
Well, I don't really have plans for turning my guitar into a model so I'll refer to this from now on☆
See you!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-12 14:46:56
Cold!
It's really cold today!
I'm quite surprised that it is!
Ahh the weather is so dull naa.
I unintentionally took a photo from my window.
I want the weather to be clear for the tour!
Since it's been cold recently, everyone be careful to not catch a cold!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-14 11:33:15
Osaka today!
Good morning!
The weather was good when I woke up earlier but it's getting cloudy!
I hope it doesn't rain.
Ahh, but I'll have fun today with all my strength☆
ByeBye.
_____
17:58:36
Setup complete!
I'll do my best today too☆
I'll get changed just after this!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-15 00:00:10
Thank you Osaka!
I borrowed AND's Ken-chan's armband for today's live!
I became an agent! (laughs)
I knew that tension went up with everyone's influence that AND has gotten good!
But aside from that, the tension goes up with different bands doesn't it!
We were able to do an enjoyably hot live☆
Thank you!
And thank you for the letters!
I'm happy that I get drinks and tobacco during the tour!
Since there's no conbini around the hotel, I'll save it for when I want to take a day off!
Thank you☆
Well, next is Fukuoka!
Everyone let's make the tension hotly rise in Fukuoka too☆
ByeBye.
_____
13:44:42
Dull.
This morning it was raining, and it just stopped so it looks dull!
I want it to clear up!
But I guess you can see the blue part where it's cleared up a bit?
I'm bothered by how used I've become to seeing the scenery on tour.
I guess there's no new scenes.
ByeBye.
_____
17:44:03
It cleared!
It cleared up!
Even though it's the evening (laughs)
It was dangerous since it was warm while driving (laughs)
It easily gets warm in the car though!
My tension went upper☆
If you noticed, I've been caught up saying 'upper' since the guest DJ from September 3rd, Kerwin, used it a lot (laughs)
See you!
ByeBye.
_____
21:39:56
Food cart!
It's my first time eating at a food cart but it was good!
We had a lot of fun since we wanted to go around!
ByeBye.
_____
21:57:22
Silver person!
Near the food cart, there was a Silver Geisha!
Fukuoka has awesome people!
It's interesting☆
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-16 11:45:55
Good morning!
The weather feels good today!
I'm all energetic since I drank Oro-C☆
Let's have fun today!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-17 00:20:36
Fukuoka!
Thank you Fukuoka!
It might have just been my imagination, but everyone seemed stiff today?
I wonder if everyone that came to Fukuoka had fun?
It's good if you had fun, but today during each band's performance I got the impression that everyone was stiff!
As for me, I really had fun today!
Since I was able to study the ways of song structure [from other bands] today☆
Thank you everyone!
And thank you for the letters!
After today's live finished everyone went out to eat Motsunabe!
When we come to Fukuoka we almost certainly eat ramen and Motsunabe!
It was delicious today, too☆
I ate garlic since we don't have a live tomorrow (laughs)
I'm satisfied☆
The next live is at Okayama!
Everyone at Okayama, yoroshiku!
ByeBye.
_____
11:33:40
It's hot!
The weather is really good!
It's quite hot!
I'll do my best to drive by drinking Oro-C for now!
ByeBye.
_____
13:40:53[-GASP-! HE DIDN'T USE BYEBYE. XD]
Reward!
Since I did my best driving in the hot [weather] I'll eat ice cream as a reward!
Don't mind Peichan's hand in the photo (laughs)
=X=X=X=
2009-09-18 10:31:37
Good morning!
Okayama today!
I'll definitely do my best since it's the last day of the tour!
The fans from Okayama, have fun with all your strength ok!
See you later!
ByeBye.
_____
22:22:17
Okayama!
Thank you!
We did a good live today too!
I was able to find a new sound to make too! [TN: aka he got some inspiration to do some composing]
I'm glad that it feels that everyone is having fun in general!
Thank you!
And thank you for the letters!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-19 19:23:49
I'm home!
Safely returned home!
Ahh but since we usually return directly from Nagoya, the level of returning from Osaka and Okayama is naturally different!
The 3 places give really different impressions!
From the time we arrived from Okayama to Tokyo, everyone was saying "punching is effective..." (laughs) [TN: there's a meaning to this, I just don't know what :|]
We were quite exhausted!
Ahh I'll slowly recover today!
It's best to arrive back safely!
See you!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-20 02:33:53
It's drying
It's almost done☆
I'm thrilled☆
I'll introduce it when it's done!
Spraying on the varnish in the dead of the night is bad (laughs)
ByeBye.

16:44:33
Eva mini yonku
I was working on this yesterday night!
I don't think I wrote it in the previous entry, but I completed the Eva mini yonku☆ [TN: Eva = Evangelion]
The first issue came with the chance to color in the mini yonku!
It's good since I like the first issue!
By the way, this kit has quite good performance!
Ah, well the general mini yonku is expensive.
But this one will run the same as the plastic models!
I haven't painted on the part where the sticker goes but it will be so cool when it's complete!
Well, I have a whole bunch of stickers [to choose from].
It's been a long time since I've made one with spray, so it was fun☆
If I make one again I'll write on the blog!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-21 22:36:52
Perhaps.
I've gotten a taiyaki boom.
The day after the Ikebukuro live I found this photo on the way home!
The skin, or rather the texture, is of a baked taiyaki right?
Isn't it awesome?
Though there were some people lined up for it, it was tasty☆
By the way, at this intersection of Ogawa in Tokyo, there's a daruma in the merchant's home!
I don't go very much, so it's unusual for me to have introduced the merchant's home☆
To the ones that live near, search for it in Tokyo!
Maybe I've gotten a taiyaki boom!
I want to eat taiyaki!
ByeBye.
_____
23:19:00
Everyone likes taiyaki!
I was surprised of the amount of fanmail I got from everyone!
Everyone likes it ri～ght☆
I want to eat white taiyaki and custard taiyaki!
Though I guess the custard taiyaki isn't the rare one.
Basically, I can't settle down if I don't have 2 taiyakis to eat?
Having only 1 is unsatisfactory?
I'll go to a taiyaki shop near me if you recommend me places☆
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-23 07:59:03
Good morning!
Breakfast!
Or rather everyone really likes taiyaki!
The number of fanmail isn't odd (laughs)
By the way, this is Kokura's strawberry and milk☆
And also, I basically eat the head.
There was a lot of fanmail for the white taiyaki but there were different places to search for!
Though, I got many that had the same shop name, so I'll go there since it surely has to be tasty!
Ok, I'll go eat☆
ByeBye.
_____
12:42:24
2 white taiyakis was a lot.
2 was too much.
Because of that mochi.
My stomach is going gyuhyuwaー. [TN: ...basically, digesting.]
Do you know? This feeling?
Though I'll be cautious of the times I eat white taiyaki, I'll aim on eating although I'm full!
I don't learn by experience (laughs)
For now I'll go to the Plastic Model shop since I've arrived in Nagoya.
There's a mountain of treasure from Osaka and Okayama on this tour too☆
Particularly Okayama!
And after today I'll look at the letters!
I only go on tour and to the Plastic Model shop (laughs)
Going away from Tokyo, I get a lot of treasure☆
Today, what I bought in Tokyo, the guy was wondering if I'd buy it or not, so I feel like playing with that!
See you later☆
ByeBye.
_____
12:50:42
Spoils of war!
Although I'm walking to my car as I'm walking, I'll quickly introduce today's spoil of war!
It's like this!
It's 1 kit and 1 part!
Err, though there wasn't any treasure.
Though I already went to the general part of the major city, I want to go to a deeper place.
Since it'll have more treasure!
The tour is treasure hunting! (laughs)
ByeBye.
_____
20:21:34
Otsukaresama Nagoya!
We really like AND (laughs)
Ah, don't worry, we make friends with other bands too! [DAIZY~~~]
We have a lot of with AND!
Thank you Nagoya!
It was a hot live today! And today was hot [in general too]!
Hm? It's the results of the live house?
But there were plenty of pleasant vibes from everyone's smiling faces today, so it was really fun!
Thank you everyone!
Thank you for the letters!
Since it was the tour final, it was really fun gathering for it!
Tomorrow's live is at JCB Hall so I'll quickly go to bed so I can do my best!
We'll have fun since tomorrow's venue is spacious!
Everyone from Tokyo, yoroshiku!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-24 23:31:19
JCB!
It was fun☆
Yesterday's moving was dreadful but it was fun today too, so we were really blown away!
The guest seating was a bit smaller than Budoukan's but it's been so long since it's felt that good!
The bands that we went around with was really fun, and they're really wonderful too!
We got to see CASCADE-san perform Saki Midare~yo~ for the first time, I was so excited!
When I was watching TV back in the day it was only this voice!
Iyaa it was a great day☆
These 2 days were hard so I'll quickly go to bed!
Everyone, rest at ease too!
Good night☆
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-25 13:10:40
Strong sunlight!
It's such a strong day of sunlight!
This is a spray type of sunscreen!
For summer this year I got this to help me☆
Since generally the cream type of sunscreen smells, it makes my stomach smell bad. [...you actually put it on your stomach!? And here I thought he was the type to keep his shirt on while at the beach or smth... xD]
Do you know? I guess there's no one that knows.
I use this type of spray since it doesn't smell as much!
I feel at ease with the spray!
Well, it's actually because the smell of this smells like grass (laughs)
So I'm not bothered by the smell of sunscreen.
I guess it's good though?
Oh yeah, I forgot!
Good morning! (laughs)
Morning greetings are important! Even though it's already noon!
ByeBye.
_____
13:48:54
White taiyaki!
I found a chocolate and custard one!
I bought it immediately (laughs)
I'll start with the chocolate one☆
ByeBye.
_____
13:53:20
Next is custard!
The chocolate one is good!
Ah! It's not rare! [TN: he means that it's not rare for him to buy them anymore xD]
I'm already on the custard one!
I won't stop eating this one either!
I'll buy either one of these after! (laughs)
ByeBye.
_____
17:15:04
Found it again!
I found another taiyaki shop!
There are a few people lined up!
I have no choice but to buy some!
The thin skinned custard one and the thickly sliced taiyaki!
ByeBye.
_____
17:18:31
Cute!
I got small a taste-test taiyaki!
It's cute☆
And it's tasty!
ByeBye.
_____
17:20:27
Thickly sliced!
The thickly sliced one is standard but it's tasty!
It's not rare☆
If I finish this one I'll get a custard one!
ByeBye.
_____
17:31:14
Thin skin taiyaki!
Melted custard flavor!
This is tasty too☆
White taiyaki is good too, but of course the standard taiyaki is the best?
I like the texture of the flavor☆
Some were quite expensive!
While I was walking to this store, I suddenly heard Ogoge Taiyaki-kun and found it as I looked around☆ [TN: as in he was actually going somewhere else but thanks to that song... xD]
I really like taiyaki, huh (laughs)
I've updated my blog a lot with only taiyaki and ate 4 pieces and 2 small pieces of taiyaki, so my blog is perfection with taiyaki (laughs)
Aah, I'm satisfied with this, today☆
ByeBye.
_____
21:14:26
With the exception of taiyaki!
I seemingly have no choice about the taiyaki today, but today I went to the Plastic Model shop to drive the mini yonkus!
I'm lucky that there weren't many people [at the store today] since it's a weekday☆
Although the people that can talk about mini yonku are sociable and are good to hang out with, I'm glad that I got to play alone (laughs)
But I have no mini yonku friends!
There are bandmen that like it too but they lose interest of it, so I don't actually know who's interested in it!
Ahh but I'm happy to talk with people in that situation!
That are a lot of ojisans and really early people!
Why are there so many early people that don't know about it! [TN: early people = when the mini yonkus first came about, I guess]
It's been a while since I've driven these, after this I'll do home to edit things for the members since I can't help it so I'll go now! [TN: correcting parts of the composition to make it flow]
Today was productive!
Or well, I made it productive☆yeah, it's like that!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-26 23:17:15
AREA!
Today felt really long, too!
It was fun!
Thank you everyone!
The picture is counting a sheep's Masa-san's guitar and my guitar! [TN: counting a sheep is Dolly's alter ego band :D]
Do you know which one is mine?
Masa-san's guitar and mine are actually siblings☆
Masa-san the oniisan!
It was made before Masa-san, but my guitar was able to copy the original!
But the body dimensions are really different, so there are a lot of things [about them] that are different, although its the same type!
Finally, with counting a sheep my guitar is completed, so I took a photo as a memory☆
Well, that was part of the unknown story!
And thank you for today, everyone!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-27 15:53:57
I've made a lot recently!
I've been doing nothing but making mini yonkus lately, so I think every once in a while I'll post them up!
This one is Blitzer Sonic Black Special!
I like that this shape gives quite a good but sharp sense!
Maybe it'll be popular!
As for yesterday's guitar talk, everyone was generally right☆ [TN: talking about the fanmail he got to his question of 'which one is my guitar?']
Mine is the one on the left!
For those that got it wrong, you should look at my guitar more! (laughs)
See you later!
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-28 12:36:29
Strap!
I got a small mini yonku strap for free from the coffee everyone gave me!
My tension is uselessly rising! (laughs)
ByeBye.
_____
22:15:06
Liberty Emperor GPA
I like this one a lot too!
But it was hard to paint it...
I always use those lovely Gundam markers on the paint but it's really hard [to use it] on the smallest place!
I guess I need a writing brush then?
Until I'm prepared with a writing brush I'll do these regularly.
Ahh but it turned out alright when I put on the sticker and then sprayed it☆
There's no place for where the mini yonku can drive freely huh.
Since there aren't really many places.
Ah, this really is a mini yonku and taiyaki blog, isn't it (laughs)
So! Because of that I'll make it about guitars again for the maker for having it modded, since I have a lot of things to be doing!
The latest thing I've tried was the really good sound that my guitar gave!
Why does it seem like this is a tsudere type thing (laughs)
See you☆
ByeBye.
=X=X=X=
2009-09-30 13:38:22
Stingray!
It's a photo of a stingray in the water tank!
Isn't the underside of the stingray cute?
I was chasing after the stingray as it was swimming to take a photo! (laughs)
Because of Chiyu-kun and Peichan I was treated like a weird person (laughs)
I'll do my best photographing!
ByeBye.
_____
20:36:45
I suddenly noticed!
I write on my blog about the latest mini yonku I've made, but as for the title [of this entry] I didn't write the name of this mini yonku?
I just noticed it.
If everyone has access to it, do look up superior rankings!
I wrote 2 pages of Liberty Emperor some time ago.
The point is that I'm borrowing everyone's power so I can appeal my love for mini yonku for Tamiya-san (laughs)
Is this alright?
Isn't it awesome?
It'd be perfect for Tamiya-san to find this!
The best would be like "This guy really likes mini yonku doesn't he!" (laughs)
Well actually I don't know Kansai-ben. Well Tamiya-san's company is in Shizuoka. [TN: the above line he wrote in Kansai :D]
Well if he does find it, Maatan will offer his mini yonkus for sale (laughs)
