RAINBOW / Ayumi Hamasaki
from RAINBOW album.

——

That day, when you said something to me
I still remember how your profile looked
Hey, sorry for not being able
To listen to you till the end

I honestly love you
I just lack a little bit of courage

We hid our tears
Knowing that we would never be able
To return ever again
We waved goodbye, saying “See you again”
Just like how we always did

Letting go of our held hands
Was so much easier than we thought
But getting a hold back once more
Is so difficult

I can’t smile without you
Just that phrase that I can’t say

The wind is so cold
Now, the tears flow
I know that I’m not the only one
Who feels the cold
But it seems like I’m already too late

Will distance slowly make it go away?
Will time’s flow slowly make us forget?
It’s Over

You were so precious
Someone I wanted to protect the most
The wind is so cold
Now, the tears flow
I know that I’m not the only one
Who feels the cold
But it seems like I’m already too late

Will distance slowly make it go away?
Will time’s flow slowly make us forget?

Goodbye, to the person who will never fade away
Goodbye, I can’t even say this well
It’s Over

HOTEL Love songs Shizuoka Branch Day 1!!!
29 July 2012. 11:50

As the scorching sun rays, hot enough to burn our skins, shone down as if it’s the height of summer!, the HOTEL Love songs Shizuoka branch opened in Shizuoka Ecopa Arena yesterday!

Tension ran high during the live, making it a steamy show where everyone’s heat overpowered even the heat from outside (^O^)／

So, let us present some commemorative photos of the sparkling smiles of everyone who stayed over on this summerish Day 1 at the Shizuoka branch!!!


Nacchan the Sun (in charge of the DEICA demonstration booth ☆) always surrounded by lots of smiles ☆(^_-)

Thank you so much to all who cooperated with our phototaking and showed us your wonderful smiles!

And then, today is Day 2 at the Shizuoka branch!

Summer may be short, but the HOTEL troupe will not hold back, so as to create the best summer memories with everyone today. We sincerely await your arrival.

Princess Yoko ☆
29 July 2012. 11:30

Hello, everyone~!

This is Princess Yoko, a chorus singer for the hotel!

Did everyone enjoy themselves during Day 1 at the Shizuoka Ecopa Arena?

Talking about Shizuoka…
It’s definitely about

this!!


Tada!

This was taken during New Year’s this year, at my hometown Fujinomiya City in Shizuoka.

And today, I’d like to introduce the new chorus team, a power up since this year~ (^o^)／


A shot in this year’s tour T-shirt ☆

From the right, we have new chorus member Micchii, always fashionable.
Then Timmy, one of the special composers from our hotel!

Chorus member Kawamura-san, who has been obsessed with the PS-vital game recently.

And then, the leader, myself.

And then, and then!
These are the two who always help us to put on beautiful make-up.


Nagai-san (left), who does our hair and make-up
And Naka-san (right), who does the band member and dancers!

We’ll continue to work hard to deliver the very best powered-up harmony, so everyone, please support us~ (*^o^*)

And that was chorus Princess Yoko ☆

Everyone, please enjoy Day 2 as well~ ♪

Memories of Stayover ☆ Osaka Day 4!!!
28 July 2012. 18:30

Day 4 at the Osaka branch was so sunny, making the rains from the previous day seem like a lie ☆

The strong sunshine shone down and it was a really hot summer’s day, but the live was a hot, hot, hot night as well!!!

The Osaka branch LIVEs are legendary for the crowd’s loud voices, and the earsplitting cheers when general manager appeared on stage on Day 4 made us wonder if the venue was rocking on its foundations!?
And the ayu call which resonated throughout the venue was truly unforgettable too!
The power of Osaka which we felt during these 2 days was truly awesome!

And then, let’s quickly show off some photos of the smiles of everyone who stayed over on Day 4 at the Osaka branch wih a DOOOOOON! ☆

And the baton of sparkling smiles passes from Osaka to Shizuoka ☆

LOVE LETTER☆KO
23 July 2012. 02:20

Thank you so much to all who stayed over at
OSK HOTEL love songs

Also, thank you truly to everyone from all over the world, who could not come for the show but still sent us your messages and power~!

This is hotel staff KO, who is in-charge of the Super suite room on the 101st floor (lol)
You Kansai folks really get into the mood!!
Really makes me wonder why and how you manage to do it (lol)
During the LIVE, you really played catch so well,
I just got so excited~!! So excited~!!!!!
It was really really great! (lol)

Thank you so much
So, everyone, I’ll be typing a long letter from now on, so get the BGM ready! (laugh)
Please read it while listening to your favorite song~!

During the HOTEL show on Saturday, the princess (general manager) performed that summer ballad as the first song for encore
Listening to everyone’s cheers when the first chords of the song played, then the princess’ voice, I got really really really carried away… (keep this a secret lol)
Lots of things ran through my mind

I joined this troupe a year ago
In this one year, I made so so many memories
I spent lots of awesome times with everyone in the troupe, laughing and crying
But it wasn’t just all fun and laughter, there were painful times too
Times when I felt like bursting
However, during those times, my comrades were beside me, the seniors helped me out, the staff protected me
Now, I recall those times and memories which cannot be put into words

That’s why, to be able to put up such an amazing LIVE now…
LIVEs are living things. It needs to be alive, so we always try to make it FRESH, and go all out
And because everyone is serious about it, we take that seriousness and make sure no two LIVEs are the same!

And the staff who support this wonderful show are truly the best!
Every single time, they ensure that the show runs smoothly without accidents
Putting in so much effort to work and protect us
Without these people, we would not exist
Everyone, led by Boss Nomi-san (director), will never go wrong

And as always, lastly, I want to borrow this place to say something which I can never say
All the family and friends who support me
And
And
All the dancers, band members, STAFF, fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And then, ayu-san
AYUMI HAMASAKI

I LOVE YOU　 GUYS SO MUCH

That was embarrassingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg! (lol)

And that’s the reason behind the title of this post
So sorry about this!
You may think I’m a little weird, but please forgive me~! (lol)

Thank you so much for reading this long essay to the end
Again, I wish to continue growing everyday, so that I can show everyone my best smile, without holding back
And with that, this Osaka HOTEL Love songs BLOG LOVE LETTER has come to an end!

Are u happy?　 Im happy

PEACE
KO
