Well, being in Kansai I got to see Kyo on Break Out a week later than people in Kanto, but its true what he said. They have obviously cut most of his answers!

What we did get was that he eats a lot of chocolate, he is really bad at remembering lyrics, and that Androgynos really tired him out 😅

Footage was show from the Androgynos performances of The World of Mercy and Ranunculus....and I have to say, the camera work is really beautiful. Makes me wish I had bought the dvd 😅

When I see pictures like this, it cements the fact that I am following the coolest person ever.

I don’t think I can write a complete report about this “Shuran no I,”

but I will share some photos taken at the venue to share these wonderful memories with everyone. Photography was basically not prohibited inside, so there might be quite a lot.

First, this is the hotel for this trip, the main entrance

This is my room, a room for four people. You can see a great view of the sea from the window. I forgot to take photos of the interior, but overall, it’s very spacious.

The first activity upon arrival was taking a photo with Die and personally handed the gifts we prepared to him. I forgot to take a picture of the sign at the entrance. I won’t share my photo with him here.

Next was dinner. Here’s the food we had and the dinner venue. He prepared things for us that even he himself couldn’t eat, haha.

This card was handwritten by die, and each one is unique. He said he wrote over 100 cards himself (I counted at the venue, and there were about 160 people). Because of this, he said he’s temporarily unable to play the guitar.

Arche is 10!

I always felt a personal connection to this album. When it was released in 2014 I was 8 months pregnant with twins.

Shortly after the release I was admitted to hospital and had to spend a month there on bed rest to avoid premature birth, and I had NO internet.....so I took Arche with me on a cheap little mp3 player to keep me sane for a month ☺️.

The cover is so fitting, its like it was made for me! Feeling half dead from all the meds I was on, majorly pregnant (seriously😅), and multiple legs trying to get out constantly.

The twins were born full term, both the size of a healthy single baby, and I credit that to Arche, they must have enjoyed it 😂 Now they will be 10 too! 😵🥴

（I also relive this time whenever I see the Oboro video, like ohh, I remember how that feels! Aghhhh 😅)

Kaoru comments that its Hide's 'kanreki', or 60th birthday, and that he will have to give him a red chanchanko (Traditional outfit people wear to celebrate their kanreki, but Kaoru uses 'kurenai' instead of 'akai' for 'red')

The photo shows a section of the letter Hide wrote to Kaoru before he died, and the words read, 'Keep trying hard with the band! Thanx'

Kaoru then comments, 'We still have a way to go, but just as you say, I'm still trying hard with the band'

Kaoru has always said this letter is his most prized possession, and as far as I know he hasn't shown it in public before now.

Yesterday I was searching the back issues of Kaoru's blog for something specific, but in the meantime I was reminded that Vol:62 from Sep 2018 is public!

See TheThe Day for free here! (Scroll down to Vol:62)

This was in commemoration of the release of The Insulated World, he decided to make one update free for everyone so they could see what the blog is really like.

I have had a few questions over the months asking what Kaoru's blog is like, so please have a look if you are curious.

The current format is slightly different from the 2018 format, but you will def get a sense of it.
