Recently.

Good morning.


I think it's been a while since I've written an arbitrary blog.


Oh, everyone who viewed the KAS broadcast the other day


I am truly grateful.


Regardless of the fact that there were a lot of unsightly parts because I was pretty drunk in the later half


Even so, I am so, so grateful to everyone who watched.


I was like that


And the other day I did some things with the new song at rehearsal


And I went for Okinawan food with a friend


And there was a gecko clinging to the window;


There was a lot going on.


Well, the gecko surprised me.


It was a shock because it was the first time I've seen one.


That aside,


We, THE GALLO,


Have a flurry of in-stores after this.


I might expose my embarrassing self yet again but


Please look after me warmly.


Or something like that.


When I went for Okinawan food this was playing, so I've been listening to it lately nostalgically.

Everyone who came to THE GALLO's solo performance


It was a treat!
[Gochisousama deshita]


This year's birthday performance was first-rate again!


I received a lot of letters and gifts!


Maou -koibumi- (fan mail)


Kokkeishiki Dokuen -shamo- (Twitter)


Shin ・ Kokkeishiki Kichiku Outou (Ameblo and Ameba messages); via these


I received a lot of blessings!


I am terribly grateful!


Thanks d(ΦｗΦ)b


With an afterglow of the solo performance lingering


I want to disable myself for a little while but


Facing the release of an album for THE GALLO


It is the production period for a while!


Without a break


I would like to have your encouragement!


I will devour all of it (ΦｗΦ)v

P.S.


Thank you for putting up with my ego!


Great!


I am glad d(ΦｗΦ)b

MY NAME IS THE PLAGUE.

I keep drawing a magic square1 in the imperial capital　A hymn bellows from the gallows
The No. 3 subway line2 begins to move　The terminal in the dead of night brings tidings of Hell

I'm tinged and flooded with heat by being looked at like an animal　I'm toyed with, grown tired of, and cast aside

Would it be a luxury to want to be killed by your poison even though I can't even make you happy? Would it be a foolish luxury?

I keep drawing a magic square in the imperial capital　A hymn bellows from the gallows
The No. 3 subway line begins to move　The terminal in the dead of night brings tidings of Hell

WELCOME TO THE NIGHTMARE.

MY NAME IS THE PLAGUE.　I AM A PERVERT AND A RAPIST.

I'm abused and flooded by looks like I'm an animal　I'm toyed with, grown tired of, and cast aside　Happiness

Would it be a luxury to want to be killed by your poison even though I can't even make you happy?
Would it be a luxury to want to be loved with your poison even though I can't even make you happy? Would it a sneaky luxury?

Please kill me...

夢宴

MY NAME IS THE PLAGUE.

帝都に魔法陣を描き続ける　首吊り台から讃美歌が轟く
地下鉄参号線が動き始める　真夜中の終点は奈落と告げる

家畜を見る様な視線で熱を帯びて溢れて往く　弄ばれて飽きて棄てられる

悦ばせる事も出来ない癖に貴方の毒で殺されたいと願う事は贅沢ですか？愚かで贅沢ですか？

帝都に魔法陣を描き続ける　首吊り台から讃美歌が轟く
地下鉄参号線が動き始める　真夜中の終点は奈落と告げる

WELCOME TO THE NIGHTMARE.

MY NAME IS THE PLAGUE.　I AM A PERVERT AND A RAPIST.

家畜を見る様な視線で罵倒されて溢れて往く　弄ばれて飽きて棄てられる　倖せ

悦ばせる事も出来ない癖に貴方の毒で殺されたいと願う事は贅沢ですか？
悦ばせる事も出来ない癖に貴方の毒で愛されたいと願う事は我侭ですか？狡くて我侭ですか？

殺して下さい・・・

Artist Column - Jojo - CURE V-SPLASH March 2014

THE GALLO Formal Thesis - Jojo
Translated by Ku

To all the Cure V-splash readers
Today I will take fanatics (otaku) into consideration
I suppose that "otaku" exist in any world (realm) and support this world (realm)
The world of music is no exception
Without a doubt, you, readers, are sustaining our world!
Without your assistance, even to exist would be difficult
As my name suggests, yours truly, too, is living nobly as a "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" otaku
An "otaku" living nobly as an "otaku"
Is an honor to the world you love
"Otaku" is not "derogatory" it's an "honor"!

1 Keigu is a set word for closing a formal letter; it could be translated into English as "sincerely" but doesn't need to be followed by a signature.
Jojo's written this column in very formal Japanese.

Something good about being THE GALLO

Oh yeah.



In the green room yesterday at Takasaki FLEEZ

a person sponsoring the live, who also had his birthday


got to the venue even earlier than me

and prepared something


He treated us to

a heaping amount of curry and rice

via catering.



I was grateful for it, and


when the performers found the time

they were eating


and several from THE GALLO

decided to

eat after our performance.


I was one of them.



So after we finished performing I returned to the green room

and when I thought, okay, time to eat…


when I looked

Of course there was curry left, but


The only thing missing was spoons… w

The plastic ones.



So

I did this...

It so happens that

I hadn't gotten this

long before.


So with my own efforts

I ate.


The other bands

put a ton of curry on their plates
without noticing

and afterwards confusedly searched for spoons… w


I completely dodged the bullet

with my metal spoon.



That's all.



Each of you, please

keep at least

one silver spoon & white plate


set... w


I give them rave reviews; you can purchase them

at THE GALLO’s merchandise booth.


They are official merchandise.
