ブラジル×写真×3日目。
2015-07-21 12:53:58
Keiです(￣▽￣)
サイサリスツアー初日のブログを書き終わったので、
ブラジルの写真をまた上げていきますよ～♪
今日は3日目、ライブ当日の写真。
{
まずは朝からリハ。
沢山の人に支えられてライブをさせてもらってます。
いつもありがとうございますっ！
{
リハの後、Anime Friendsの会場がオープンする前に探索。
INKTはアニメ、ゲーム好きばかりなので普通にテンション上がる。
{
みんなが歩いて進む中、マインクラフトのブースを見つけて単独行動。
そしたらこのお姉さん最近まで日本に居たらしくて日本語ペラペラ。
助かった～♪(´ε｀ )
マイクラブースからみんなの所へ戻ると…
{
ダンスエボリューションみたいな所で、
kissyとマネージャーが踊ってました（笑）
{
サイン会の時にはブラジルで応援してくれてるみんなからの寄せ書きを頂きました。
本当に嬉しかったなぁ。
ありがとう！！
朝から雨が降っていたこともあって、
だんだんと気温が下がってきた結果、
{
ブラジルで一同毛布にくるまり寒さを凌ぐ。
{
あとは例のセグウェイ破壊事件（笑）
フェスの主催者の方が乗っていたセグウェイを、
mACKAzがお借りしていざ出発！！
の瞬間。
スコッ！Σ（ﾟдﾟlll）
ハンドルと足場を繋いでる部分棒の部分が抜けてしまって、ハンドルと足場が二つに分かれてしまいました。
これは一大事とスタッフが集まる集まる（笑）
あーコレは笑ったわぁ。
後々、帰る時には直っていてスーッと僕らの前を走って行きました。
{
そしてライブではINKTを見に来てくれた人、たまたま通り掛かりで見てくれた人、
その場にいた全員で楽しい時間を作ることが出来ました。
ありがとうございましたっ！！
とこんな感じ。
では3日目のベストショットは…
{
ベストショットはというか、レアショット？
サブで用意して頂いたギターを持っての一枚。
オーダーの行き違いがあってレスポールになっちゃったけど、普段全然使わないから逆にめっちゃ珍しい写真が撮れました(*´ω｀*)
このギターめちゃくちゃ重たいんです。
だから腰が悪い僕には合わないんですよ（笑）
{
と言うことで、ブラジルでは自分のストラトをメインで弾きました～。
この日はなんだかんだドタバタしてたからか、
みんなの集合写真があんまり撮れてなかったみたい。
明日はきっともう少し集合写真があるはず…！？(-｡-;
んじゃ！( ゜∀゜)ノ

Brazil x Pix x Third Day.
July 21, 2015 12:53 p.m.
It's me, Kei (￣▽￣)
Since I finished writing the Physalis Tour Opening Day Blog,
I'll start ul'ing more pix from Brazil～♪
Today I'm on the third day, the day the concert was scheduled.


First we had rehearsals in the morning.
We were able to do the concert with the support of many people.
Thank you for everything!


After rehearsals, we looked around the Anime Friends venue before it opened.
Everyone in INKT loves anime and games, so we were just as excited as everyone else!


While everyone was walking around, I wandered into the Minecraft booth.
Then I met this lady who seems to have lived in Japan until recently and speaks Japanese fluently.
She saved me ～♪(´ε｀ )
Then on my way back from the Minecraft booth to find everyone...


Kissy and the managers were dancing
in the Dance Dance Revolution area XD


At the Meet and Greet, we were given a flag signed by our fans who were there in Brazil rooting for us
We were really happy.
Thank you!!
It had been raining since morning,
and the temperature was dropping steadily,


We all endured the cold Brazilian winter by wrapping ourselves up in blankets.


After that was the Destruction of the Segway Incident XD
mACKAz borrowed a Segway that the venue staff were riding,
and right at the moment of take-off,
Woa~Σ（ﾟдﾟlll）
The thing that was attaching the handlebars to the base came out, so the whole thing ended up coming apart
This was a serious issue, and the entire staff gathered around XD
Ah, what should we do about this...*nervous laughter
Much later, when we were on our way home, it had been fixed and we saw it go zipping by.


Then at the show, with all the people who were there,
those who came to see INKT and those who happened to be passing and stopped by to check us out,
we were able to have a fun time.
Thank you very much!
It was like this.
And the best shot of Day 3 is...


the best shot, or rather a rare shot?
This is a pic of me backstage getting ready with a loan guitar
There was some confusion in the order, and they gave me a Les Paul,
but I never use one normally, so this is a really rare shot of me (*´ω｀*)
This guitar is really, really heavy.
So with my bad back, we don't really make a good fit XD


That being said, I ended up using my own Stratocaster as my main guitar in Brazil～。
Maybe it was because we ended up screwing around a lot that day,
but for some reason it doesn't look like I took that many pix of all of us together
I should have some more group pix tomorrow for sure…！？(-｡-;
Later ！( ゜∀゜)ノ

Manager blog update:
http://ameblo.jp/inkt122/entry-12053148510.html
(Not gonna translate the whole thing, but they celebrated mACKAz's 31st bday!
In Brazil, people were calling him Marcus XD
While the manager was filming him, he saw Koki off to the side beating up on one of the staff XD
then there's Kei at the end, exhausted but still being courteous. XD)
田中聖✖️ヤンチャ✖️まっかつ✖️誕生日
2015-07-22 00:47:14
お待たせしました！
先ずは7月15日、INKTの変人mACKAzの誕生日！
mACKAz！ ※ブラジルではマーカス
誕生日おめでとう！！
Tour初日の柏ライブの後、関係者とスタッフと
メンバーでお祝いしました！
マーカ、いやmACKAzに31歳の抱負を聞いたら、
相変わらずポンコツでTourの意気込みを語ると言う…。(^^;;
そして問題はmACKAzの挨拶終了後、
周辺を写したら！！！
ミスした金井をKOKIがシメてる！！笑
また、週刊誌に書かれちゃう！笑笑
安心して下さい。
はいてま、ではなく仲良しですよ ＼(^o^)／
そんな、しょーも無い映像をお見せします(^^;;
最後は、グッタリなのに愛想ふりまくKeiで
締めてます。笑

@INKT_Staff:
『田中聖 10845』の発売に伴いKOKIのインタビューが宝島社から発行されている7月24日（金）発売のsmarthttp://tkj.jp/smart/、8月7日（金）発売のsteady http://tkj.jp/steady/ に掲載されます！是非、ご覧下さい！
To commemorate the launch of Koki's book, Tanaka Koki 10845, Takarajima Publishing will issue two magazines containing interviews with Koki:
Friday, July 24th's issue of SMART http://t.co/EDllUst3cM
and Friday, August 7th's issue of STEADY http://t.co/5oVFighxPB
Please take a look!

(These next ones are my own personal pix. I got all this stuff within a few days of each other. I ordered the book from cdjapan, which is very easy to use and geared toward overseas clients. The INKT merch I got from White Rabbit, and because the DVD was for fan club members only and they don't ship merch overseas, it was a mess to get it. Please click to "1st Live DVD" tag to the right if you want more info on how I got it.

INKT 1st LIVE DVD




I've only been able to watch part of this DVD. I know, I know. But I've been soooo busy. And every time I try to watch it, people start talking or interrupting. We just got a new rabbit, and the dvd player is right next to the cage, so yeah. Plus my comp won't play any discs at all, so basically I'm screwed.
All I can say right now is that the musicians in INKT are really amazing in their own right. If you can just see this version of Past & Future, it is really, really beyond words. Really.
And Koki has improved sooo much since they posted their first fan meeting footage on the fc page. He seems much more comfortable in rocker mode now. The fans at the Brazil con were talking about stage presence, and you can see it here. Of course he's always had great stage presence, but he seems to have found his flow since that first fan meeting. He is also a lot calmer in this dvd than he was in Brazil. In Brazil he was flailing around all over the place and headbanging constantly. He must've been really, really excited to be there XDD. But the sound quality on a con DVD is much better than fancams, obviously, so you can really hear a lot. It makes me appreciate this band so much more.
I have no idea why this is only available to fc members. They should make it available to anyone on the website. If it's some kind of website glitch, I hope they fix it.

TANAKA KOKI 10845


I can't even count the number of pix in this book, seriously. Of course most of the writing is in Japanese. There are articles, interviews/conversations with Koki, band members, Director Shinagawa, pix of Koki's hometown, current house, pets, family pix, baby pix, concert pix, favorite album and movie pix, close up of body parts, him wearing different favorite outfits, etc.
I haven't really tried to read it yet, but I did see this~ they asked him 128 questions, and this was #53:

Q : 旅行は好きですか？
もう一度行きたい旅行地とその理由は？
Do you like to travel? Where would you like to go next and why?

Koki: L.A. ですね。
なんとなく自分に合っている気がします
I'd like to go to LA.
Somehow it seems like it would suit me

That's all I can handle at the moment or I will have a breakdown. seriously.)
