Maru, who has always made me laugh;
Murakami-kun, who has always tsukkomi'd us;
Ryo-chan, who has shared his yakisoba with me;
Yokoyama-kun, who has become fat along with me, haha;
and Yasu, who has always been nice to me.
Thank you so very much.

and to all of you who have come to our concerts.
Thank you very much for your many smiles.
SHOTA
Maru, who has always been warm like the sun;
Murakami-kun, who has pumped us up with his fun stories;
Ohkura, who has cheered us up with his drums;
Yoko-cho, who has asked me out to dinner whenever we went to different places ("chihou" is more like "the countryside");
Shibuyan, who I was with together for soooooo long in Okinawa;
and Ryo, who arranged (Shibuyan's) Happy Birthday song for us.
I really had a lot of fun with you guys.
