“Kagiraーreta〜〜、
Sora〜〜 no〜〜 shi〜〜ta〜〜 de〜〜〜♪♫“ (Leeca)
Beep…
… ‘ello ‘ello〜…
Oh, how’re you?
It’s been awhile.
What’s up, you felt like meeting me?
Eh?
“Are you overseas today as well?”
… you ask…
This morning, I got back to Japan.
Yeah, I arrived at 7 this morning.
Eh?
“Why didn’t you contact me
since you came back to Japan??”
… you ask…
Ahahaha.
My bad, my bad.
I headed straight to the sea.
Today, I’m looking at the sea.
Eh?
“What are you doing at the sea at such a cold season?”
… you ask…
Ahaha.
I came to say farewell to the sea
before winter arrives.
With everyone.
The weather isn’t that great though…
Eh?
“Who do you mean by “everyone”?”
… you ask…
Today I figured I’d do a 【beach closing】 so
I gathered around 150 friends
and did a barbecue on the beach.
It got really amazing.
Even though this time was a barbecue among friends
it’s the one with the most number of people so far.
Well,
it’s a good thing that my number of friends have gone up.
That’s why,
although it was really problematic
when it came to providing food and drinks,
the friends and senpais in business
helped to make arrangements.
Nevertheless,
it was a frightful amount of food and drinks.
At first sight of the sheer amount of drinks
it really shocks you
and makes you wonder if it belongs to some vendor.
So, from morning, the senpais
made the arrangements for the barbecue.
It was really difficult I believe.
Getting all the way here is a festival on its own…
The level of our play
is growing bigger and bigger.
What I’m happy for is to have been able to meet
these friends who are so willing to play with abandon.
Because everyone plays earnestly.
Eh?
“Exactly how much does this cost?”
… you ask… …
This time, just food alone should cost more than 1.5 million yen.
Who cares about the costs.
For the money,
it’ll be fine just having the guys with money split and pay for it.
In other worse, it’s alright as long as
the young, hardworking guys can think
“I’ll give it my all too!!”
when they see this level of play.
Unless the successful businessmen
do things like this well
and show the younger guys and kouhais all sorts of things,
the young guys won’t feel stimulated right?
Rather than money, its more of time and effort.
In other words, the businessmen taking the lead
and doing something like that with their best effort
is most amazing in my opinion.
Just how much
can the young guys who come out to play
keep taking the initiative to lead,
keep finding themselves and helping out?
Well think about it everyone.
Just preparing like this from morning,
is really quite hard.
Eh?
“Are there people who don’t help?”
… you ask… …
It is unfortunate but they exist.
Oh well.
There is also a time and place to teach them these things.
Having experienced this many times
it is really very important to
take the initiative and go and participate yourself.
Being strong in that in return
ties in with work and meeting people which opens up your life.
In other words,
those who are successful
know very well that this is important.
Because they’ve gone through all sorts of hardship to get this far.
It’s an amazing thing.
This time,
the ones who took the initiative to do this
are the successful businessmen…
But, I want everyone to be successful in playing.
That’s why I produce this earnest play.
With the feelings of
“as long as I can convey just a little of this to the youngsters…”
it was done without anyone making a face.
You should also know that
it’s easy to say something
but very difficult to put those words into real actions right?
Eh?
“The scale of play is really different!!”
… you say…
This,
is something we usually always say.
Japanese are really bad at playing.
To be able to work hard
you have to be able to play hard.
Unless there is a place
to increasingly charge up your energy it’s no use.
Eh?
“It can’t be that, you’re intending to go into the sea,
in this season… right??”
… you ask…
Ahahaha.
Too bad.
We go in.
We came here to do a 『beach closing』.
Isn’t it pitiful if we don’t enter the sea?
We also brought all our playing equipment.
Not everyone has to go into the sea but,
the guys who were filled with KiAi brought their swimming pants,
and went to say their farewells to the sea together.
Eh?
“Isn’t it cold going into the sea in this season!??”
… you say…
Of course, if you compare it to summer it’s colder.
But, we’re not always in the sea.
We’re “over the sea”.
Eh?
“What do you mean… over the sea??”
… you ask…
Well all of us,
are currently into hoverboarding.
Although in Japan
there still isn’t anyone doing it seriously.
We’re the first to being this into Japan
and practice with it.
First of all is explaining how to ride and play it
with a lecture on how to enjoy it for first timers.
Eh?
“That hoverboard… is it easy!!?”
… you ask…
Hm…
If you’re asking whether it’s easy or not
I would say it isn’t but,
the only way is to go out to sea and do it right?
By watching the guys who are good at it and copying them…
In other words you just have to do it.
I can explain it but,
it’s just that you won’t really know unless you try riding it.
In other words,
at first its scary.
You don’t know how to ride it,
or how to get on it well,
and it takes time to get the hang of it too.
But, we don’t really care about whether you’re good or not.
Is there a feeling of challenge?
Can you actually challenge it?
Can you face your fears?
That’s what’s really needed.
It’s the same as work.
Eh?
“So, everyone rode it well?”
… you ask…
Ahahaha.
Of course, initially they failed.
Generally,
when rising it’s easy to get up to 10m above the water’s surface so,
right before falling, the fear is immense.
Because you ride it while fighting the fear of falling,
that makes it pretty scary.
But once you get used to it,
it becomes a feeling akin to
riding on the “back of a dragon”.
This is really irresistible.
It’s about whether or not you can face tremendous fear.
… eh??
“Who’s the best at it??”
… you ask…
Um… there are a number who are pretty good at it.
My junior, Yuuki, rides it quite well,
and dancer Yuusuke who participated for the first time this time
too rode it well.
Yuuki was especially good at it and did it beautifully.
He managed to get quite high up
while saying that he has a fear of heights.
That guy’s riding style is the most beautiful I guess…
If you can ride it
like you can manage riding on a dragon,
of course, it’s fun right?
… eh??
“Is GACKT-san good at it??”
… you ask…
Instead of whether or not I’m good at it,
it’s more like reckless.
Because I attack it more than anyone else.
That’s why, it becomes a pretty extreme skill.
But I do things that are pretty dangerous too.
Because I go all the way up to the highest I can in one breath.
I like riding sideways right?
It’s the same in snowboarding too,
and in jet surfing.
Recently I quite like wakeboarding too.
… eh??
“Won’t you get sunburn??”
… you ask…
In the past,
I couldn’t do anything.
Because I was severely allergic to ultraviolet rays.
But now.
Because there is a body suit
that covers the full body and even face available,
I’ve been able to do things like these by wearing it.
With an appearance similar to Gatchaman
I can ride the boards.
Because I can completely cover my skin.
I’ve become able to play things like this.
Until this day when I go under the sunlight,
I will apply UV protection cream but,
I will still fall into the ocean right?
That’s why until now
I haven’t been able to do things like this.
It’s a really happy thing.
I played like this with everyone until dusk.
Then, we ended it with everyone toasting to each other.
We all had a rock-paper-scissors tournament,
and made a promise to play like this again in the near future
before wrapping up.
To be able to do such events on a regular basis
with “Everyone let’s play with abandon!!”,
and really understanding the importance of playing,
it is only possible with a large number of friends.
Because I have so many friends,
I can play with everyone so earnestly.
Though there were many who had to leave halfway because of work,
we had a really great playtime.
I think we managed to have a wonderful 【beach closing】.
We’ll come play again when it’s beach season.
… Eh?
“Next time, please bring me along too!”
you say…
Can you even ride sideways?
Ahahaha.
Practice hard
and if you get good at it I’ll bring you along.
Well then, I’m going back to Tokyo now.
Once I get back, its work.
I’ll get in touch with you again.
See ya.
