Shinpei's Blog 

BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DESCEND INTO ANARCHY NOW DO WE.

Just some basic stuff.

1. Be nice! Sarcasm and jokes are fine (as long as everyone's okay with it), but don't be a douchebag to anyone. Nobody likes douchebags. Don't be mean to people, basically. If you feel threatened or uncomfortable, send the mods or admin a personal message and we'll see what we can do.

2. Don't spam or be obnoxious. Don't make a million threads about the same thing, don't post a bajillion times in a row about the same thing, you get the picture. Don't be annoying, basically. XD

My beloved grandma

Hi.
I have sad news today.
It's showed up in many blogs, too, but
my beloved grandma suddenly passed away.

I heard about it from Manpei.
At first I didn't believe him at all, but more than anything else, I was surprised.
I told Manpei something like
"Bastard, don't lie to me."

The inside of my head just went pure white.
Cause just a while ago she was doing so well.
Even though she said, "I'll see you again, ok?" with a smile...

How?

Why?

Winter-ish



Good evening.
Thank you for all the comments.
I carefully read them.

We got into December and it suddenly turned cold, didn't it? It's finally feeling winter-ish.
But me. I'm not good at dealing with the cold.
I shiver and tremble like a puppy.

Well this is from about 2 days ago, but when rehearsals ended, I met up with Manpei and when I saw his outfit, I was freaked out!
A V-neck...

Dress rehearsal



Good evening!
Thank you for all the comments, as always. I read them all carefully.

Today I had dress rehearsal for the play "Donden".
There are lots of things I'm experiencing for the first time, so I'm just soaking it all in.
To think that I'm still quite inexperienced is amazing! It's a really good experience for me to have. I've got a lot of things to master before the performance, but...

Good Twins Day!



What's up!?

Yesterday, November 25, was "Good Twins" (ii futago - 1125) Day**!!
Looking at the number, isn't that how it's read?

Also!

When I went to the convenience store...

777 yen!!

It's super exciting~!
Hey, it looks like good things are gonna happen.
If something good does happen, I'll let you know!

And please continue cheering...

On cold days...



Hey!
It was cold again today, huh?
It finally feels like it's winter...
When I walk down the street, an X'mas mood is in the air.
Even though it's cold, it's somehow warm & fuzzy

Today I made nabe
Kimchi nabe~!
plus ・hackberry ・chicken ・Chinese cabbage ・bean sprouts ・wieners

Thanks, Nagoya!!
It was only for a short while, but it was really fun and let me feel refreshed.
The time I spent with my family
It's definitely special.
I treasure it.
And more than anything else, getting to see my grandma!
She was really doing well~

When I told her "do your best to stay upbeat until I get back to see you!", she just replied with *smile*.
It was just a *smile*...

Yesterday I exchanged working on "Ouran" for "Kizuna" rehearsals.
