haha, yea, I was quite surprised at the fact that there is a significant number of fans in Singapore *grinns*
I'm still looking around for Longing, can't seem to find it anywhere..
And he's too hardworking and busy to be 'just… a poor man with free time in my hand.'
'I think that is why my power of concentration is stronger than anybody else’s.'
This is quite obvious from his first appearance on utaban. That episode still amuses me a lot. Still, I respect and admire his high level of concentration when playing the piano.

Two things I'll do if the piano started moving around in circles and if people started pointing their fingers at me and laughing their butts off while I'm playing the piano:
1. Totally freak out and calls in an exorcist to excorcise the apparently 'possessed' piano
2. Cry. Because I so cannot stand people staring at me when I play, and to make matters worst, they're pointing at me!!

Thank you for the trans!

Hehehehe... It would be great if all of us can gather together and do something. ^^

Oh, HMV sells it. :D

Ahahahahhahaaha, yeah, you are right. Well, I think he knows they are playing a prank on him and he purposely didn't react to it. X33 But like you, I'll SO totally freak out. XD XD I bow down to his ability to not mind how others react to him. That's difficult. :3 It takes a lot of confidence to get there~

You are welcome~~ :D

osokunatte gomen!! I kept thinking I had to do something, and almost forgot. ^^; Thanks for the translation~ :D

I’m just… a poor man with free time in my hand. (laughs)

Very unconvincing. XD XD It makes me wonder what he's doing right now. Because we haven't heard much lately, but I can just imagine him doing like three or four projects all at the same time, in addition to working on the new album

[sweiled]

Me too!! ^^;;;; I completely forgot about this. -__-; We make great partners as usual. XD You are most welcome, dearie~~ *ruffles your hair*

Hahahahahaa!!! XDDDD I can picture that too. *-* But it seems that he goes away for a period when he is recording album right? So I hope he is getting enough rest. But then he DID attend those Gundam premieres just a few days ago. -__- Gakkun, yasunde kurenai??? XD *pushes him onto the bed*

Oooh~~ My fantasy. XDD

Ahahha, deshou?? XD I can totally see his face as he thinks about it~ Hontou desuka? :O Do you know which part it is? I can't really tell which one is the "pirorin" sound. ._.;;

*NODS* LONGING is amazing~ <3 I really really really love the part where his voice goes back to normal. There is just something haunting about that part. Something that pulls and draws you into the song. Very unique. And the instrumental part in the middle! Hehe, that was random but so Gackt-ish. X3

[gekka_no_neko]

Yes I hope he's getting lots of rest too! Especially with all the touring he did the last several months. But knowing him... he's probably doing way too much already! -__

[sweiled]

I think he might be now. ^^ Or if not, he is probably preparing for the tour. Maybe recording the album. DOING TONS OF CRAZY STUFF. *pushes him onto the bed and jumps in this time* 8DD;

OOOHH, I heard it!! Hahah, hontou da! :D Pirorin~ tte. XDD It does sound like an FF sound effect. @@

They totally set it up so that there has to be a sequel though.
Oh, that was that I heard too! It looked like there will be a sequel to that one. And judging by the ending, I think it's all right to assume that his role in the next one will be a bigger one. :33

X33 You are welcome, glad you two enjoyed it so much. ;) Have you watched a litre of tears already? That one was also pretty good; but not as good as Summer Snow of course. ^^;; It's extremely sad too. ;=;

He still has not revealed anything. XD

So I’m actually focusing on the thoughts. It only seems like I’m daydreaming because I’m not moving.

Heh. You know what I do? Sometimes I'll get so caught up in what I'm thinking about that I stop doing whatever it is I'm doing and totally freeze. XD I'll be standing there, or sitting, totally motionless, frozen in the middle of something, sometimes in a position that isn't at all comfortable to stay in but I don't notice. I only do it when I'm alone but I imagine it must look quite freaky if someone were to see it. XD;;

I do love being alone though I’m afraid of it.

Hm. Yeah. Indeed an interesting conflict, and one that I understand a little of. I love spending time by myself because then I go unwatched and free in a sense. But I also know that being alone isn't really good for me, I need the guidance of others sometimes in order not to fall into self-pity and despair and such. >.>

That is why I’m good in games which require a high power of concentration. I’m really good.I wonder what kind of games he plays. My preference in

[sweiled]

XD XD Wow, that is interesting indeed. I just sit there and stare at something, but most of the time I'm aware of what I'm doing so I can snap myself out of it. ^^;

Aah, I see.. Friends really help in this instance, right? For me, I'm not afraid of it, I just get bored of it eventually. I love to do things alone, like watch movies or shopping, but I also love to spend time with my friends. Sometimes the solitude gets so stifling that I'll hunt down one of my friends and make the go out with me. o.O

XD XD I haven't played games in ages~ I used to play... dragon something. >.> It was fun!! One part of the game which I like very much is that you have to coordinate your timing when using one attack so that it wields maximum power. :D I sucked majorly at it at first, but my cousins were amazing!! XD Gosh, my family is the kings of games. ._. All my cousins and brothers are great in them.

You are very welcome, sweetie!! ^^

[sweiled]

Hey there~ :D

Hehe, I KNOW. I couldn't believe it when I first read it. *0*

Totally. It will be awesome to meet up with everyone. X3

[anonymous]

I: The single will also be released on 25 January. This collaboration is not as simple as providing the soundtrack; you even attended the press conference during your tour. You are really taking on a lot of (projects), aren’t you?
G: Nothing like that at all. I’m just… a poor man with free time in my hand. (laughs)

O-o If he thinks he's poor. Then what would that make me?

Thank you for translating this!
