ItalianoGACKT Official Blog update. Translation below:
In the morning, to prepare for the recording,
I woke up early and quickly finished my training.
I felt like wearing something similar to yesterday but…
Well, I felt like wearing this anyway so it can’t be helped.
The recording went more smoothly than I anticipated.
TAKUMI went back to Japan early because of work but
I wonder if work went smoothly because TAKUMI isn’t here…
I don’t really say this but
TAKUMI will get defensive so I’ll choose to hold back.
Next to me, drummer Baru says that TAKUMI not being around is a good thing,
and scattered his gripes about TAKUMI.
It’s important that he’s able to speak this badly of him.
I guess he’s been accumulating quite a great deal of stress.
I noticed that his cheek tumour grew a lot bigger because of his stress…
Recording progressed smoothly,
and today’s segment was done in a flash.
I went up to the lobby
and slowly spent time having tea until the evening.
One of my friends carefully took something out from his bag, as if it was something precious.
It seems like it’s the stone that was picked up at Okinawa’s beach.
『Why do you keep something like that?』
I asked, and he said
『It’s a memory of having gone there with Waka…』
Recently, I don’t really hear such word from women.
It was casually said but such words touch my heart.
They’re 【heartfelt words】.
It’s something I would really like women to say more of.
After writing my name and the date on it,
for some reason, it feels unsatisfying.
『Anyway, it’s better if colours were added to it…』
and
while staring at the stone,
and image somehow came to mind so
I tried adding some colour to it.
Inspired, I spent about an hour on it.
When I showed it to my older sister, she said
『What the hell is this?? What are you trying to do??』
and
as expected, that was the kind of response I got from her.
She shows little or no interest
for such inspirational art.
With the image of Okinawa in mind, I added colours on it and this is how it turned out.
It’s a beautiful fish that I saw in the past at the sea near my parents’ home.
In the blink of an eye, time passed and it was evening.
Tonight, we’re going to have Hunan cuisine so
we went looking for a new restaurant but…
I was shocked by how underwhelming its taste was.
Despite that the restaurant was unusually crowded on the inside,
for some reason, the taste was just underwhelming.
Just what are the customers who come here are looking for…
I can’t understand it at all.
After dinner, to regain my mood,
we all decided to go have a drink at the bar.
To make a cocktail that I’m recently into,
I downed a bottle of Tequila.
It looks like this place only has Cuervo.
It’s just so very unfortunate.
I wanted to have at least a PATORON here.
Anyway,
I wonder how the cocktail will taste if we’re using this, so we gave it a try.
My staff, Henmi, for some reason, looks gay holding onto the bottle.
Even this,
is possibly the best looking pose of all I guess.
Immediately, my friends got revved up and we stared making a few servings of the cocktail.
Then everyone drank it, and then we made it again,
and in the blink of an eye, the bottle became empty.
If this goes on, it seems like I’ll end up collapsing so
tonight, I’d want to go home while I’m still not drunk yet.
The dangerous night in Okinawa came to mind.
Tequila is dangerous.
To everyone who’s reading this too, have a wonderful and safe night.
I hope you never become weird even when you drink.
