Tired~
With today, work for this year is finished and done!
From early morning until now, I've been filming the new PV!!
Iya~ There was no time to rest, so I'm all exhausted now... (^_^;)
For the last time this year, I've poured my everything, my whole soul into it!!
Please wait for it until the album's release~ ♪
It shall be an awesomely cool PV!!
Look forward to it~ (^^)

Thank you very much for everything during the course of this year and otsukaresama deshita!
This year has been a fulfilling one. (^_^)
I was happy to have been able to try myself at a lot of different things, and I also learnt a lot from them!!
In the future too, I plan to make use of everything I've learnt this year, so that 2009 can be just as rich as the previous year!!
If I had to describe this year with one word, it would be...
"Colour"!! [1]
... Productions and roles of a different colour, various things, various encounters, and maybe even I myself have gotten a bit more colourful? This is the meaning I was thinking of when I chose "colour"!
Well then, what kind of year might the next one be? (^^)
How about you all?
Let's do our best in 2009 as well! ♪
Again, thank you very much for this one year!! Though it's already here in a few hours, please keep an eye out for me in the coming year as well!!
Have a great new year!!☆

[1] Kanji means 'colour', but when doubled, it also means 'various, different'.

Toshiotoko here! :) [2]
Happy New Year!!
May this year as well be a fantastic, smile-filled year for all of you!!
Everyone, please keep an eye out for me in 2009 as well.

[2] Toshiotoko (man of the year) and toshionna (woman of the year), respectively, are people born in a year with the same sign of the Chinese zodiac as the current year. In Masa's case it's 1985, which was year of the ox, same as 2009. Toshiotoko & onna also traditionally have the honor to ritually scatter beans at households during Setsubun.

Fitting for New Year's?!
Right now, I am having kaiseki-ryouri. (^^) [3]
I thought I put up a picture of every portion...
... well half of them at least. (^_^;)
By the way, the one with the empty plate was the sushi I forgot to take a picture of when it was brought to the table. (laugh)
They were filled with tuna, so delicious! (>_<)
They're still going to bring more food, though I'm a bit full already... (^_^;)
But it's rude to leave food like this over, so I'll try to have a taste of everything!
Well then, see you later~☆

☆ Fishing ☆
Ta-da-da daaa! (laugh)
I caught a sea bream!!
I went fishing today with our drummer, Yasu-san!!
It's been a good while since I last fished!
Luckily I didn't end up "bald"~! (>_<)
Ah, let me explain what "bald" means~ ♪ ※ "Being bald" means that one didn't manage to catch even a single fish!
The sea bream in the picture was still small, so I released it!! [4]
Ah, let me explain what "release" means~ ♪ ※ "Releasing" a fish means sending it back to the sea again!
For fishermen, it's evident to always release the small ones. (laugh)
Yasu-san has also released a small squid. (^_^)
Results of today's fishing trip: One squid, one megochi, a small sea bream and a small fugu for me, and two grown squids and a small one for Yasu-san. [5]
Iya~ Fishing is fun!☆
---------
[4] "Release" is written in English.
[5] I assume you all know fugu, dictionary tells me "megochi" is "big-eyed flathead", but rest assured, I won't be googling for pictures of creepy fishes to know more. D: But good for you, Masa! :D
