YOU is still touring with S.Q.F. They were in Sapporo this weekend, but earlier this week YOU and some guys from the band found the time to see the Dragon Quest Live show at Yokohama Arena. Sato also went to this, but I think they went to different shows.

Sato made a trip back to his home of Hokkaido this week. While he was there, he visited the Ondoko music store in Sapporo, and picked up a copy of the new Camui Gakuen DVD that was released this week. If you look behind Sato, to the wall on the left, you can see a huge poster of GACKT in his ARROW costume. When the band were in Sapporo for the LVL tour, GACKT also visited the store and signed that poster.

Hi bros n sisters. How are you doing? I'm got to the KL AIRPORT. Really tired... This is a regular back flip. You just need to pull your body up first, tackle your legs and roll. That's it. I'm not good at pulling it up but you should get this. Just try it.
Hi bris n sisters. How are you doing? It's a wonderful morning here. Well, this is a back flip without a jump. If you can tackle and roll quickly, you can do like this without a jump. Just try it. Have a good day anyway.
How are you doing? It's a wonderful morning here. The Lambo is back from a factory so really happy. I'll go for a drive now. Have a good day.
(If you look at his Instagram, tap on the photo to see where he's tagged himself...)
Hi bros n sisters. How are you doing? I'm working out now. This is a regular back flip. Tou can tell that they tried to keep to look at the front when he jumped. This is the way. Ok. Just try it.
