What up everyone?!
Been a while since my last post - hope you guys have been feeling groovy!
お～～～～～～～い！
皆元気だったか～～？？！





fade has been gearing up for our upcoming shows and the release of 天～TEN, but I managed to find some time to check out the Annular Solar Eclipse yesterday in Tokyo, and soak up some of the days magic rays in YOYOGI PARK.　
fadeはこれからのライブと「天～TEN」のリリースの準備で忙しいけど、昨日はちょっと自分の時間を作って、明治神宮に金環日食を見に行って、その後代々木公園でしばらく魔法の日光を浴びてた。





For anyone who hasn't been able to check in with us on facebook, twitter, our official HP etc., here's a list of updates / reminders.
最近fadeのfacebookやtwitterやHPとか見れてない人のために近々の報告とリマインダーをどうぞ！

Look forward to reading your comments!!
Make sure to leave LOTS!!
皆のコメント読むの楽しみだぜ！！
沢山残して！！

CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK TO NORTH AMERICA!!!

So only a few days have past since the end of fade and RIZE's 1st tour in North America, and I already can't wait to get back and do it all over again!
From start to finish、it was a totally unforgettable experience!
fadeとRIZEの初北米ツアーが終わってから数日しかたっててないけど、もう戻って、またツアーをやりたいんだよね！　本当に最初から最後まで忘れられない経験だったぞ！

And the crowning jewel of the whole adventure was without a doubt our show at Webster Hall in NYC on 3/26.
People from all over the States, Japan, Venezuela, Brazil came out to represent BIG TIME and make the "East meets West" event a real success, and something that both fade and RIZE are PUMPED to do again as soon as we can!!
そして、３月２６日のツアーファイナル＠Webster Hallは最高に楽しい終わり方だった。
アメリカのあっちこっちから、そして日本、ベネズエラ、ブラジルからも人が集まってくれて、皆が超良いエネルギーを出し合って、お陰で今回のイベント "East meets West" 間違えなく成功できたと思う！　とにかく、RIZEとfadeの皆が早く戻りてぇ～～～～！





To everyone who came out to ROCK with us in TORONTO & NYC - you guys are amazing and we are TOTALLY THANKFUL for the support and great vibes you guys brought with you to the show!! You have no idea how much it means to us!!
会場に足を運んでくれたトロントとNYCの皆 - お前らは本当に最高！　応援と抜群に気持ちいいヴァイブスはマジ、マジ、マジ感謝してる！！

ALSO HUGE THANKS TO Dorian and Big Apple Style Marketing (@bigapplestyle) for organizing this event!! Dorian - YOU ROCK!!!!!　

fade may be going back to Japan, but MAKE SURE TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH US!!!

王様のブランチ ー The King's Brunch

おーーーーーーーーーーーーーーい！
チェック、チェック　ー　1, 2, 3
聞こえる？？
このブログついてる？

あ、きた。
よっし！

元気か皆？！
今日の昼はG,巧、真矢さんとオレの王様ブランチ出演見れたのかな？

初テレビの生放送面白い経験だったよ！
でも、さっすがに収録と全然違う！！www

一緒にブランチした人は感想でもよろしく！





HELLOOO?!
TESTING, TESTING - 1, 2, 3
CAN YOU HEAR ME??
IS THIS BLOG ON?!

ehem, alright, well then...

HOW YOU BEEN EVERYONE?!

Anybody out there manage to catch G, Takumi, Shinya-san, and I on "King's Brunch" this afternoon?

I have to say, it was a very interesting experience!
One thing I did learn is that LIVE broadcasts like today, and PRE-RECORDED broadcasts are TOTALLY DIFFERENT ANIMALS!! LOL
(If you saw the show I'm sure you know exactly what I mean - hahahahahaha)




Make sure to comment if you had brunch with us!!

Oh~~ Mexico♪

Hey guys!

You'll have to forgive me for the infrequent blogs since the year kicked off.
Don't worry, I'm doing great and of course I haven't forgot about you guys!!
Just really focusing ALL ENERGY right now into making music with fade and YFC- which in and of itself is a very LUCKY thing!
今年入ってからblogの頻繁のなさはごめんね皆！
でも心配しないで！　今いい感じだし、もちろん皆のことを忘れてないぞ～！www
ただすべてのエネルギをfadeとYFCの音楽にぶっち与えてるだけ　ー　ありがたいことだよね？！

Moving ever closer to Canada Music Week in March.
SO STOKED to play in Toronto and hopefully some other shows while we're over there.
If you are in the area - MAKE SURE TO COME OUT AND ROCK WITH US in March when fade hit's Nrth. America!!
気づいたら３月のCanada Music Festivalも近づいて来てる。
トロントのフェッスでライブするの楽しみだね！
North Americaにいる間に他の街でもライブできたら最高！
近くにいる人は絶対にROCKしにおいで！！

Be well everyone!!

Jon
