Announcement.
I think there's already been an announcement about the resuming of the tour.
It probably sounded like bleak sentences, and I think there were surely few things to transmit, so I think I'll tell you again myself.
I'll say it clearly, even if his condition has improved during those few days, Tora hasn't healed completely.
There is surely a lot of people who wished the postponed lives would resume without any worry and with everyone in a perfectly flawless condition.
That's basically what I hoped too. Because I don't want to do lives in order to cause worry....
But, though he surely understood our and everyone's feelings, Tora himself came up and his conclusion, in spite of it all, was "I want to do a live".
I think it's a blessing that we're given the chance to do the 5 of us together what we would have done against our will if we'd been 4.
He absolutely wanted to be there if his arm could move.
He took a strong decision and said "I'll do it".
I had nothing more to say than this.
The problem isn't whether we'll stop or won't stop even if it's against our will.
If it's Tora's resolve, then I think we have no choice but to accept it.
Maybe it wasn't the best decision. Maybe we're being foolish.
I know. I know but...
This is life, I think.
I think I want this tour we've put our faith into to go on.
I seem to be brushing away everyone's concern. But that's because I want the tour to comfort you.
We must not show a damp face. (laugh)
Because Aomori, Sapporo and Niigata which have been postponed, we're still going to see each one of you in turn without fail.
Tomorrow we're shooting the PV, the day after tomorrow is CITTA. The tour.
During those few days, we've been truly grateful for your thoughts and concern.
Our, alice nine's way of life. Check it out.
