[Translation] 2016.08.30 Avex Staff Blog "2016 Kisumai Summer"
Hello everyone.
Did you watch last week's performance in Music Station?
As the last summer gift from Kisumai, the SP medley of "Ai no Beat ~ FIRE BEAT ~ Sha la la☆Summer Time" was aired. This is what we call the wide-spread performance of the "dazzling and sparkling" Kisumai themselves, I wonder if the performance got through?
Even during the rehearsal that day, the members were discussing about costumes and formations until the last minute. On the real performance, together with us staff, we fought in full force for each second at the backstage, changing costumes and moving around. The performance went on smoothly, I think it's an energetic scene that can only be seen on a live broadcast.
Even then, the 7 of them concentrated at once and did the performance, it was such a fascinating thing.
For us, through TV, to be able to make fans smile, scream and have a good time is above anything.
And then, as the last of "3 works of Kisumai Summer", the single "Sha la la☆Summer Time" really received many support from many people, thank you very much!
Also, this is the last gift that we received from the fans this summer.
Each piece of CD that was bought with each thoughts embedded in it, we firmly captured those thoughts. And we will certainly repay this gratitude in the form of work.
Together with the members, we are creating one by one, pieces of work that would create smiles for everyone. Please also take care of Kis-My-Ft2 from now on!
With that being said, we are wrapping up this summer with the 3 works: album, live, single.
To include the whole "2016 Kisumai Summer", we are now starting to stare at each footage among an enormous collection of video recordings, to compile the best of "I SCREAM" into LIVE DVD & Blu-ray.
Please look forward to it!!

Reading this today, does it mean... the staff-san themselves realized what was going on last week?! (of course they did, duh!) Did they also follow closely the "war" that happened, especially during the weekend? Well, at least, those last 32,265 pieces bought on Sunday were our last desperate attempt to give the boys their 5th anniversary gift *sobs sobs sobs*. At least we took part, at least we fought together with them! And the staff-san said this was our summer gift for the boys... ~>_<~ *damn I'm teary writing this*
Through this event (I wanted to say incident but it's exaggerating huh), I learned that Kisumai is a group
loved by many. I can say the first few days were efforts of the fans alone. But when things went a bit shaky on Saturday, many people from other fandoms helped on Sunday. There were helpless cries from Kisumai fans, well our funds are limited!!! Then came help from other fans... I really can't express this feeling with words. TT___TT
What makes me wonder, though, if the staff-san realized, the boys must have realized this too, right???
The "Otsukaresama deshita" opening on yesterday's Mainichi Tama really got me thinking. He almost never wrote "otsukaresama deshita" in Maitama, as far as I remembered. Damn Kisumai, damn Avex, I just love you guys so much. Now I grow impatient waiting for I SCREAM DVD & Blu-ray, please Avex-san, put lots of stuff in the Blu-ray!!!
Now, the next thing to do, is to think what I would do with these pieces of Shalala single. And those posters that came with them. LOL. Damn, Shalala is going to be such a memorable single. I'm glad to be able to take part in this event.
