YUCCHI, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CREATED THIS GAME, RIGHT? JUST STOP IT! YOU KEEP LOSING, DEAR...

Dated : 16.12.2011

Good evening
I’m Nakamaru Yuichi

We did Taguchi's "I like this present nya"

Previously, Taguchi had 3 points and won the game. Hence, we've restarted the game

The presents are as follow:

- Watch and gloves set
(click)

- Drinks set which Taguchi likes

- Refrigerator

- Family game console

As to who have prepared the above presents:

- Watch and gloves set
Kame

- Drinks set
Koki

- Refrigerator
Uepi

- Family game console
Nakamaru

You can roughly guess who is the winner~

Taguchi picked the watch and gloves set

That means Kame received 1 point

Indeed, I didn't think that I'll get that point

I'll work hard the next time!
Happy Birthday, Taguchi-kun!

By the way, changing the topic, I made Aglio e Olio (pasta) yesterday
(click)

It was delicious

Good evening
This is Nakamaru Yuichi

Today was a radio recording and rehearsal for Dream Boys.

The other day between rehearsals I ordered soba.

[pic]

It's chilled nattou soba.

The one I also ate between rehearsals of the Dream Boys I appeard in 5 years ago.

So nostalgic.

And I ate ramen.

[pic]

This time I tried taking it a bit further away than usual.

All those ramen pics are slowly getting annoying? I understand.

But the taste is unannoyingly wonderful.


Yesterday I watched the completed version of the first episode of "Last Money".

It's great!
It's really interesting!!

This is without a doubt interesting!!
I now want to see episode two soon.

I also hope that everyone will definitely watch it. That is, you should watch it.

Because it's seriously interesting.

The first episode will air on Sep 13, from 10pm.


On Sunday from 8 am is the live broadcast of "Shuuichi".

Please watch it.

That was close.

I somehow managed to hand in this week's course work savely.

I'll try my best next week too.

Plus, yesterday at early dawn was the finals of the Soccer World Cup, Nadeshiko Japan [name of the women's national team] against the USA.

I watched it live.
It was a great game.

I cried.

The game was incredibly dramatic.
Because it put me in such an excited mood I couldn't fall asleep like that.

Due to the difference in physique, you could see how the strategy of passing the ball around and not letting the opponent take initiative was thwarted by their fast pressing.

But their force of will to not give up brought the tie, which I think resulted in their victory.

Soccer is definitely a great sport.

Thank you for the excitement.
Nadeshiko Japan.


Yesterday was "Shuuichi". Today there's an interview and "HEY!HEY!HEY!".

How was the new corner on "Shuuichi", "Majissuka?"

This time I went to report on a cooking class.

There were a lot of students in their twenties and thirties. Since you can also eat the food you make in the end, there were a lot of people who came to feel like they were eating out.

I'm looking forward to next week.


Plus this is Sadogashima in Niigata, which we visited for the shoot of "Last Money", I took a lot of pictures.

Leaving the ship.

[pic]

The weather was good.

[pic]

I ate sasa dango. [a type of dango typical for Niigata]

[pic]

I had squid prepared.

[pic]

The night before returning to Tokyo everyone of the staff ate the fish together.

[pic]

It was very delicious.

I'd like to come back again.


On Tuesday around 12 in the night there's a radio program I hope you'll listen to, R-One on Nippon Cultural Broadcasting.

I got entrusted with a corner for the first time.

I want to give my best that it becomes a corner aimed at the watchers.

They also let me draw the logo to use on location.

The other day, the recording of the coupling song for "RUN FOR YOU" took place.

During the break, we got fruits.

[pic of a plate with various slices of melon, oranges and some cherries and stuff]

We were able to do a very good song.

Anyway, it's hot, isn't it.

Since there are many places that cannot use air conditioning to save energy, let's all be careful of sunstrokes.

Stay hydrated and keep a moderate salt intake for what you lose by sweating.

And for the sake of saving energy, let's use it in a reasonable way during the peak time from 12 till 4 pm.

Since it seems like the energy supply is sufficient outside of the peak hours, it's nothing impossible.

Let's do our best together, little by little.

The deadline is Sunday.
I'll do it tonight.

Yesterday I had a shooting for the NHK drama "Last Money ~The Price of Love~", and an interview for "Theater Guide", and did the choreography for the solo song. Today is a set shoot for "Last Money".

The broadcast of "Last Money ~The Price of Love~" will start on Tuesday, September 13 from 11 pm on.

Ito Hideaki-san is playing the main role and the shooting started around the beginning of last month.

Roughly, it's a story about an insurance company.
By the way, we yesterday did the shooting on the Miura Peninsula.

[pic of a field, lots of blue, cloudy sky and a tree in the middle of the horizon]

More details at the next opportunity.


After a long time, I did a new solo song again. It seems like a pretty long song. I like it a lot.

That's Otamajakushi-kun. [japanese for tadpole] I'll let them appear somewhere these days.

Yesterday was "Shuuichi". Today is the recording of "Galileo Hit Nouken".

The other day I ate tonkotsu ramen with a soy sauce flavoured broth.

[pic of bowl of ramen... who would have thought!]

Normally I order the big portion, but since it was the middle of the night, I got the normal one.

Even though it's summer, for this miraculous ramen my appetite doesn't lessen. I again feel like eating it.

Yesterday I ate pasta.

[pic of plate of spaghetti with shrimps and other stuff]

The citrusy cocktail went well with the fried squid and it tasted incredibly good.

It feels like I'm only eating noodles.
I'll also eat some rice!

But never mind that.

I had ramen the other day.

[GUESS]

I'm thinking I'm about to maybe eat it too much. Let's reduce the frequency.

Yesterday I had a shoot.
Today we have the shooting for the PV of "RUN FOR YOU".

The release date for KAT-TUN's new single is decided

It's August 3.
The song name is "RUN FOR YOU". It's a song that was made for the CM of Suzuki's new Solio model.

For coupling songs the song "COSMIC CHILD", from the CM for Wings' 'Zurui Bra' and 'Zurui Pants' &

and "DIAMOND", the image song of the baseball commentary 'Dramatic Game 1844' on NTV since April this year and theme song of 'Going! Sports & News' on NTV, will be recorded.

Furthermore, for the first press and normal release, there will be a new song for each.

It's a big variety.

I'd suggest to preorder the limited release with the additional video early

Please make sure to watch the backstage corner!

The other day we had a public radio recording in Fukushima.

It was fun
It took place in a university.

[pic of big lecture hall]

During the recording I tried to draw the face of Ueda while wearing sunglasses.

[rather questionable drawing of Ueda making a sort of ^3^ face]

I think it looks like him.

Thanks to everyone it was a fun recording. If there's the chance, we'd like to visit again, so please take care of us.


Apart from that, Mister and Choco went for a trimming.

Super cute.

Though Mister is seven now, which is middle-aged in human years.

He's a cute ossan dog.


The last chapter of the 700th anniversary project "Purupuru quest" is online now.

Could Purupuru and the others actually reach Tamagon's origins? And could they save Aitsu?

So I got a a straight perm after all.

Thanks to that the volume decreased and it's pleasant.

I asked for a natural finish, so they straightened it without using a hair iron and only the dryer.

Like that I might get through the rainy season.

Today the shooting was over in the evening, so I think I'll do my school assignments after getting home.

And I'll read the messages I requested in the 700th anniversary project.

Thank you very much!

I have only read one part yet, but I want to read them all taking my time.

So far I saw that a lot of people enjoyed the "emoji debate" and the pictures.

On the other hand I received a lot of well-meant reviews that said the "soccer commentary" wasn't that interesting because they don't care about it.

I'd like to reflect on that for the next time.

I quickly attached pictures of sandals and sneakers I bought recently.

The weather in Tokyo is bad.

Like a characteristic display of the rainy season, an incredible amount of rain is falling.

It's such an amount that I'm wondering whether to use an umbrella.

Such trouble!

Still, I went to eat ramen.

[another one of his countless ramen-photos xD]


The other day, there was the Kirin Cup match against the Czech Republic.

The result was a goalless draw, 0-0.

It looked like the 3-4-3 system was working more than it did in the previous match against Peru.

But as for the attack pattern, the number of overlaps expected from the players Nagatomo and Uchida on both sides were fewer than with the 4-2-3-1 system.

The reason is probably that for the 3 forwards the space to the front disappears.

It seems like when Nagatomo on the left had the ball that, to pass it the other two in front of him, he often cut into the inside.

But I also thought that, since Honda on the right was shooting a little over the center, Uchida's overlaps from the outside were effective.

This is definitely a developing system with points of improvement.

I'd like them to complete this quickly as Japan's second system.

[pic of big pizza with various toppings and a glass of coke]


By the way, have you played the second chapter of the "Purupuru Quest"?

Thank you very much.

Could you find the treasure box? The content was a flash stand-by screen which changes pictures when you open your cell phone.

It seems to be distributed to students this year.

I'm happy about this.

Apart from the schedule, it's for memos, it has trivia about Waseda and points to pay attention to while drinking and so on.

It's a note book that somehow gives you the feeling of being a student.

Thank you.


By the way, have you played the prologue and first chapter of the "Purupuru quest" already?

The sky in Tokyo is clear.
This pretty comfortable temperature saves me.

Yesterday I ate tonkotsu ramen with a soy sauce, fish based broth.

[pic of bowl of ramen. he really likes ramen, it seems.]

This is really delicious.

Here's a photo I forgot to add from when I went to the batting center with Taguchi before the baseball match.

[pic of a batting center room]

You can also practise pitching. I was throwing the balls in silence, standing next to Taguchi.

Back then, I got them into the strike zone fairly often, but being on location in Tokyo Dome I got nervous after all and maybe due to my lack of experience it was all sorts of difficult.

If there's another match, I'd like to show some results because of this time.

The other day, I watched the Kirin Cup match [this is soccer] against Peru.

It ended 0-0.

In the first half, it looked like the 3-4-3 system Zac [trainer of the Japanese national team, Alberto Zaccheroni, if you care that system is explained there somewhere too] was trying didn't work.

I think it'll take some time until the players can also get used to the change of system, so it might be good in the long run until the preliminaries for the World Cup.

In the second half, when they changed back to the 4-2-3-1 system like in the Asia Cup, the players chosen as starting lineup also came into the game, and before you knew it the chances increased.

And something I noticed all over again was what an important factor it is how Nagatomo's overlap causes an impact during an attack.

They're a threat depending on the partner. They go as fast as top speed.

Watching it was promising.

Apart from that, Honda's very strong as goalie. He's good in keeping his balance and I was surprised by his middle shoot from a standing position.

The next time is against the Czech Republic on the 7th.

I'm looking forward to it.

This is Nakamaru Yuichi

Today was the recording for Galileo Brain Research. From 23.50 on is the live broadcast of "Kamisun!"

By the way, recently I'm into sake.

I like drinking it hot.

Having grilled soramame with it is also good.

[pic of plate with soramame]

Incredible.


By the way, today, on the 16th, at 8 o'clock, HEY!HEY!HEY! is on air.

On Tuesday at 12 in the night there's a radio programme I'd like you to listen to: R-One KAT-TUN on Nippon Cultural Broadcasting.

This time it's about "New song 'WHITE' release commemoration! Ueda and Nakamaru in a serious battle that will make sparks fly?!"

Please enjoy!

Good evening

Today I had a shoot and a radio recording.

In the evening, during the shoot, it started to rain. Soon the rainy season will begin.

For people with frizzy hair this is a quite difficult season.

Such trouble!

They're showing the new CM for the new Suzuki solio model now.

You can also watch it on the Suzuki homepage.

And there are original wallpapers for download, too.


Since we're heading for summer, I bought a fan.

With the electricity problems, this might cut back the usage of the air conditioning a bit.

There's quite some wind power.


And today, May 18th, KAT-TUN's new single "WHITE" will finally be released.

We will perform it on Music Station on Friday this week, so please watch it!

Yesterday we had a shooting.

It feels like Tokyo is steadily getting closer to summer.

As for classes, I realised that in a seminar I chose I'm this year the only participant.

Which means, for the next two years it'll be a man-to-man with the teacher and a coaching teacher.

What a luxurious environment.

But if my motivation drops, it maybe will quickly show in exchanges on the Internet.

It's man-to-man, as you know.

Well
I'm looking forward to this.


Picturing the condition of my hand today.

[pic of his hand, beautiful as always]

Not bad.

Maybe because the temperature rose, they're less likely to get dry.

This is good, because I hate it when my hands get rough.

And here's a pic of the ramen I ate the other day.

[pic of bowl of ramen]

It's tonkotsu flavoured with a fish broth.


Today from 8 o'clock on we'll appear on the live broadcast of Music Station with "WHITE".

On Saturday Galileo Brain Research will be on from 18.58 till 20.51.

Plus, on Sunday there's the news programme "Shuuichi" from 8 am until 9.55.

Good evening
This is Nakamaru Yuichi.
My muscles hurt.
Yesterday we practiced for 'Dream Boys'.
Today we have the interviews for 'Asahi shinbun', 'Tvfan', 'Myojo'.
The feeling of training, it somehow brought back memories.
It seems physical and emotional strength is more important than expected.
First I must keep these words in mind.
I'll do my best.
Also school's soon going into summer holidays.
It's next week right?
However by then I must hand (something) in and there's still two more major assignments to do.
If I get through this I've got one year and a half before I graduate.
I'll do my best.
See you

Everyone who's currently having Golden Week, how are you?

Yesterday I watched the game between the Giants and Tigers.

Taking part in the audio commentary was fun.

The Tigers won the game, but since both teams scored plenty of homeruns, the atmosphere was uplifting.

At the site, they played KAT-TUN's new song, DIAMOND.

I was delighted.

I'd like to go watch one again.

I'm sorry for the delay with this update.

I made those who are looking forwards to this worry.

I completely forgot I was supposed to update today.

I will be careful from now on.

We had a radio recording today.

Yesterday was vocal training and a meeting for "Shuuichi".

Recently, vocal training is fun.

I'm doing training to control my soft palate.

I'm giving my best!

Yesterday was the recording of "Shuuichi" and "Galileo Brain Research".

Today I think I'm gonna draw the serial illustration for Wink Up.

The other day, Masuda mailed me, praising my illustration in Wink Up.

Receiving praise makes you motivated, right.

By the way, on Tuesday at 12 in the night there's a radio programme I'd like you to listen to: R-One KAT-TUN on Nippon Cultural Broadcasting.

Today were the interviews for duet, POTATO and TVnavi.
And the PR recording for our new song at MUSIC JAPAN.
Plus, we did the choreography for the second chorus of WHITE.

On May 18th, our new single WHITE will finally be released.

The B-Sides are PERFECT, Yuuki no Hana and SILENCE.

I want everyone to listen to them quickly.

Preorder the first release with the videos early~

Classes at uni started again.

This semester I registered for quite a lot of courses.

Mostly subjects I'm very interested in, for example about media literacy or environmental issues and so on.

I'll do my best that my motivation to study will continue.

Last week Saturday I took a pic of the Tokyo Tower from the NTV building.

We're giving our best for the dance.

Since we'll be performing it at music programmes, please check it out

When I left the house recently before the recording of "Shuuichi", I took a pic of the morning sun.

(pic of sunrise from pretty far up, showing the Tokyo skyline)

It looks kind of dreamy.

Since I thought I could play a bit during the break, I brought a soccer ball.

But because the wind was too strong, it was impossible, to my regret.

Yesterday was the second day of the CM shooting.

The temperature has been rising, hasn't it?

It's quite warm.

The day after tomorrow we'll confirm the choreography for "WHITE", and I think I will also check it before at home.

It's actually quite complicated~!

Since there's a video of the steps, I will repeatedly practise them while watching it.

When I cannot put the volume up, like during the night, wireless headphones are good.

(pic of headphones, I'm not sure about the brand, but they look like those Sony ones)

I'll do my best.

Yesterday after "Shuuichi" there was the recording of "HEY HEY HEY" and the interview for "TV fan".

While changing location, I took a picture of Tokyo Tower from the car.

(pic of Tokyo Tower, taken at a 30 degree angle for whatever reason ^^ reminds me more of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.)

The weather was not really good.

By the way, since I'm recently trying to gain weight, I'm eating a lot.

Today I had ramen.

(pic of bowl of ramen om nom)

I started out with a weight of 55 kilo, and now I'm at 57.

(pic of scale reading 57.55 kg)

For now I think I'll aim for 60 kg.

While looking through the photos I had saved on my cell phone, I found some nostalgic, pretty photos of the sky which I'd like to share.

(The following photos will be uploaded today at 10 pm.) They weren't uploaded to the j-web from the start, which means they were also missing from the blog, maybe they'll appear later

When I climbed the Fuji with Masuda, from the top of the clouds.

(pic of sun rising over the clouds)

It's the sunrise.

Then, a pic of the clouds from the airplane.

(pic of white fluffy clouds below)

It was the airplane going to Korea during last year's tour.

The clouds are somehow pretty.

And "Nakamaru's Page" will soon meet its 700th turn.

The project is also still in progress, but I'll introduce one photo which I won't be using for it.

(A hand-drawn pic of a block of tofu being watched by... fuck this, I'll upload it.)

Tofu-kun is sleeping.

By the way, on Tuesday at 12 in the night there's a radio programme I'd like you to listen to: R-One KAT-TUN on Nippon Cultural Broadcasting.

The pollen is definitely bothering me lately.

I've been sneezing extremely often and my eyes are itching.

This can't possibly be hay fever? No, I won't accept it.

For now let's just apply eye lotion.

Since it finally has gotten warmer, I bought shirts.

Lately I've been wearing shirts a lot.
I'm also quite into that one.

And I like gingham check.

I like shirts.

Plus, his rival, "Ma-kun the Marionette" also updated. (I seriously have no clue what this is about and couldn't find anything helpful on it either. If anyone knows, tell me. It might be some kind of inside joke referring to previous jwebs.)

On Saturday, "Galileo Brain Research" will air from 7.54 pm on.

IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, SENBEI IS A TYPE OF JAPANESE CRACKERS

Good Evening
This is Nakamaru Yuichi

The pollen is quite bad, right.
Is everyone all right?

Recently, I'm obsessed with senbei.

When I'm at home, I sit on the sofa, my mouth full of senbei while reading a book.

I feel at home.
And it's tasty.

By the way, the flavour of the senbei is 'soy sauce', and I drink tea.

I'm impossible, aren't I?

A book I recently read was "The things you should know about as a Japanese person".

It feels like it's been a long time since I last finished reading a book.

Since I lately stopped reading books halfway through, I felt good about finishing.

Because I have some free time until school starts again, I will keep reading lots of books.

Apart from that, the other members and people working for the jimusho went out to eat.

We had sushi.

It was delicious.

We talked about a lot of things.

We want to do this regularly, and I think once about every three months is just right.

By the way, there's a radio programme on Tuesday at 12 in the night I'd like you to listen to.

"R-One KAT-TUN" on Nippon Cultural Broadcasting.

This time it's about "Ueda introducing rumours about KAT-TUN he wished were real! Having a talk, going beyond the limit!?".

I cut my nails right now.

I've been peculiar about the length of my nails for a long time.

That is, there should be 1 mm of the white part left.

It's because when I was a child and my dad cut them for me, he always cut the whole white part, and I hated it when it got a little bit into the base.

Now I leave at least 1 mm.

But if I don't cut them frequently, they give off the impression that they're growing, so I have to pay attention to that.

Yesterday we recorded the B-Side for WHITE.

It'll be released on May 18th.

Those of you who haven't preordered it yet, please do.

Since for some reason I have the envelope of the recording company lying here, I took a picture.

J-STORM

By the way, soon Nakamaru's Page will reach 700.

I'm currently preparing the 700th anniversary project.

DON'T WORRY YUICHI, THE WHOLE WORLD PRAYS FOR JAPAN!

NAKAMARU'S PAGE NO. 668
Dated : 16th of March 2011

It's been a while since the last update of "Nakamaru's Page".
My deepest regard to the people affected by the Tohoku region Pacific Ocean offshore earthquake.

Recently, we got to send a (J-web) Message as KAT-TUN, and all the members are worried about everyone at the disaster-struck areas.

During the earthquake all the KAT-TUN members were in Tokyo.
We've never experienced such violent shakings before, but everyone is alright.

I've seen the image reports of the huge earthquake and tsunami.
There are also images of places that I’ve visited before such as Kesennuma, seeing the places that I’ve memories of being engulfed in tsunami is very shocking and heartbreaking.

The shelters will be cold at night.
There is a lack of supplies.
Also heard that the lifelines have all stopped operating.

In addition there are a lot of aftershocks, it's a situation that is both physically and emotionally agonizing.

I'm sad that I can't do anything, but I'm praying that everyone will be alright.
For the self defense force, and people helping out in the relief efforts, as well as rescue workers from other countries, I pray that they will be able to save more lives in Tohoku.

And as reported by the news, Japan now has insufficient energy supply.
Kanto regions are also having planned blackouts.
Apart from having planned blackouts for the Tohoku region, we can also conserve energy by ourself.

For me, apart from the fridge, all the other appliances that are not in use have been unplugged.
As for things to keep warm, if you wear thicker clothings it should not be a problem.

For Tohoku, let's start by conserving energy together.

The small things around us, simple things that could be done by everyone are unquestionably
the necessary measures that must be exercised now.
Everyone reading "Nakamaru's Page", let's do so too.
One person’s action might not be able to save a lot of energy,
but if everyone who is reading this page can do so together, we'll be able to conserve a lot of energy.
Let's become one.

Also, everyone please be careful of aftershocks.

Nakamaru Yuichi

A MESSAGE FROM KAT-TUN

J-WEB
Posted by KAT-TUN on 15th of March 2011

Dreadful things are happening.
Immediately following the earthquake, we confirmed the safety of the members by mail, luckily all were unhurt and safe, but we are worried about everyone's family, loved ones and the victims of the disaster now.

Aftershocks etc... still worrying, but prepare properly so you can calm down and act when it's important.

Conserve energy etc... even just one second, starting from things around us, are there things we can do?

There are still people suffering. It's not someone else's problem. It ought also change everyone’s feelings.
Everyone is connected, we become one.

And then we pray from the bottom of our hearts for the safety of the people in the affected areas.

Good evening
This is Nakamaru Yuichi

I want to introduce the scene of the time spent today drawing illustrations at my house.

Firstly, lately this is the kind of feeing my table has.
(photo: Black shiny desk. Black desktop, mouse, keyboard. White tablet, papers, shelves, cables. Silver lamp, printer. Far distance; curtain.)

It looks like this when I sit on my chair.
(photo: desktop, tablet, keyboard, cables, ...netbook?)

To not forget the next projects I want to do for 'Nakamaru's Page,' somehow or other I ended up writing (them) on a paper.
(photo: paper, pen. Even if it's rough planning, it looks quite neat. The quality of his phone camera isn't that good.)

I created a document to organize the parts.
(photo: desktop screen, he uses Windows! Screen's kinda blurry)

Next let's see the illustration I drew. Lately I've been drawing more (things) digitally, so I haven't been using felt-tip pens and papers much.
(photo: drawing… on tablet+computer)

My hand was actually in the photo.
In the end, I used colour.
(photo: character on screen, coloured, his hand drawing on the tablet again.)

Anyway, the end.

Lately my creative impulse has thankfully been overflowing.

I want this mental ability to stimulate things like the organization of the live and practicing beatbox too.

Wooooah(~)

How is the new song?

Also, how is the backstage corner?

(If) you like it, I'm happy.

Lately I've been using the keyboard to write papers (for uni) so I've growned accustomed to that, however there's the feeling that it's become harder to hit the (right) characters on my mobile ne.

Yesterday I peacefully submitted all the reports for the end of semester tasks

I did it.

I'm looking forward to the evaluation.

Incidentally the subject of the last task submitted is about non-verbal communication.

When communicating your own will (point of view, etc.) with the other party, it seems that, with the excetption of speech, the portion of non-verbal communication is quite significant.

It seems approximately 80% of your will (opinion, etc.) is communicated through things like gestures and facial expressions.

It's definitely (what you) say and (what you) see.

Well then, today, the 4th, 'Music Station' (is on) from 20:00

Tomorrow, the 5th, from 19:54, 'Tensa; wo tsukuru! Galileo Nou Ken' is on air!

This time (with) Galileo Nou Ken's period(season?) change, we'll introduce, while mixing the memorable things like the CM and that time's social conditions, etc, Galileo Nou ken's secret set goods. (*)

It brings back memories.

That person's friends, Elizabeth's, will once again increase.

See you
