The past three years
I was meaning to take you for a walk but I never did
Moving away was my excuse
I should have taken you out
I had so much fun on our walks
When I was little you were already so big and each time was such an adventure
You would pee on so many poles

It was so cute how you would catch every jerky I would toss you

Whenever Keiko or I would have a problem you would be there with us looking up at the sky
Even for hours

You were so shy and could never stand being alone
Can you make it to heaven by yourself…

Thank you
Thank you and sorry
Even as an old dog I still remember you were in heat and tried to attack Chibita.
I’ll never forget your bravery.

Keiko, Eiko and Shoko

Will live on in this continuing world

〓Shokotan〓

Thank you Chas

The world continues on
Until the day I can reach you
The future holds so much more
Your warmth will continue to protect the three of us

I worry about Eiko because you were the one who always took care of her

It’s been a wild year
For good and for bad

I will never forget the three incredible pets that I grew up with

It’s work time, gotta get myself back together！！This photographer is a giza fun guy so I hope some of it rubs off on me. Watch over me Chas.

CHAS

I sang Shiny GATE on “Music Fighter” (a Japanese music program)
I sang it for you I sang my heart out
This isn’t a sad song so I used our happy memories to help me through the song

These last three days you lost your appetite
Last night you were able to eat your favorite bamboo shoot that Eiko gave you
You went in your sleep as Eiko sang you a lullaby…

When we found you on the street 12 years ago the doctor told us you were 5 years old

You lived a long life didn’t you
You would pull so hard on all those walks we took together
All those fights you got into with other dogs
Pouncing on male cats and licking their ears

Your big appetite
Your cute footprints after playing in the snow
Your shy nature at the restaurant when you didn’t accept the meat that the chef brought you

Sitting under the stars and watching the Leonid meteor swarm with Keiko and I

That scared look you would give me whenever I had to tie you up during our walks
It was because you were abandoned before wasn’t it
Keiko, Eiko and I did our best to take care of you
You had such a presence with all of your lower teeth growing outwards

You had the cutest footsteps
After moving out I regret not being able to take you out for walks these past three years…
I should have taken you out more

You were the one who looked after Keiko, Eiko and I
And I know you’ll continue to protect us

I won’t be home until tomorrow night because of work so it hurts that I might not be there for the burial
I only got to see him for 5 minutes
I cried the whole time

Your cute ears
Your cute feet
Your cute teeth

I’ll never forget you

Talin, Micheal and Chas…
They have been family since I was little
Now all gone

Chas was truly the cutest dog
I want to tell the whole world
I’m writing this but I still can’t believe your gone

〓Shokotan〓

Chas…

I’m about to go sing Shiny GATE now

I’m going to sing as hard as I can so my voice reaches you

I won’t cry until I finish the song

I will sing for Chas who used to sing along when Aerith’s theme was played
I hope you can hear me

I won’t cry yet I still can’t believe it
You loved taking walks

My one and only Chas

Too many goodbyes this year…
But
I won’t cry yet…
Gotta keep it together

Ahーーーーー

All of my

important shows that I recorded are gone

Proof of my existence

Money can’t buy back all of the memories

“24Hour Television” and
“Kouhaku” (the annual end-of-year music program) and
The episode of “Brunch” featuring Micheal, Talin and Sanbarukan and
“The Solomon Style” (a Japanese documentary program) and
The episode of “PochiTama” (a Japanese pet program) featuring Mamitasu and

All of my dearest memories are all gone

I guess I could ask people for copies
But I’m sure no one will have shows from that long ago

I’m so shocked…
Can someone make me a copy…
Can’t believe it can all disappear so easily…

I’m shy about watching myself on TV but they are all good memories and I was meaning to watch them one of these days which makes it worse…it’s really so shocking…what should I do

〓Shokotan〓

Hello！！I’m Fuguruma Youbi. Have you all watched “Gegege no Kitaro” and “Pokemon” this summer？
I loved them both as a child so to be able to be part of them was awesome

Fuguruma Youbi is good at using ghost laptop(＾ω＾)
For my lips, they put on stacks and stacks of safflower which made them red at first but eventually they gave off a green iridescence(＾ω＾)

Stars twinkling in the sky...
How heartwarming Sendai folks are...

Dusk is my favorite time, the candlelight world turns blue.
I especially love this time of summer.

After it’s done, it starts to rain.
During my concert live, cuz everybody is Donyoku excited and supporting me, maybe even rain drops hold themselves from falling down.

Before a live concert starts, I always feel really nervous, shaking and nearly crying,
but the fans always support me, and then my anxiety is blown away.
It is MAGICAL.
I owe them so much, I always think that I have to pay them back, but I end up being saved by them all the time.

〓Shokotan〓

The 11-year old girl came to see me as she cosplayed an outfit of mine.

Blue twilight (＾ω＾)
Dusk falls to night.
Lie lying time.
Magic hour.
I'm so glad that I could do a live concert in this favorite time of mine with everybody.
I'll never forget this...this is my precious summertime memory! (＾ω＾)
I love live concerts. So much FUN! Lai lai (´；ω；`)

The research book that I found at the fabulous book store yesterday!! Amazing thing is it is not published by Shueisha! (LOL) Their passion is sugoi awesome!

This is really a great book, well researched, well organized.
They fill in some gaps with imagination. Very Funny!!

Sendai, yay! ――(゜∀゜)―― I got to Sendai, but I don’t feel like I’m in Sendai yet. ((o(´∀｀)o))Thump thump, Excited!

〓Shokotan〓

I just found a fabulous bookstore!

They sorted out and categorized books by years, from the 1940s to 2000s. And all the books are selected by the store manager who has great taste, so all the books look really interesting!!
I bought a lot. Recently I start buying photo books and painting books for sky or scenery, rather than manga... So the selection they have is really attractive.

As for manga, they have nostalgic selections such as Daijiro Moroboshi and Kyoko Okazaki.

When I find a book that I wanna read so bad, I don’t wanna be stingy and hesitate to buy.
Cuz books are treasure.
I wanna have as much sense and knowledge as possible.

It’s a waste to be stingy with books.
On top of that, this bookstore's open til 2 in the morning with no set holidays! Awesome!! Even though I wanna go to a bookstore, most of tthem close at 10pm, so usually I cannot make it.

I’ll be a frequent customer for sure.
So happy. (＾ω＾)

I spent lots of money on painting sets, books, and flowers for the TV show called Waratte Iitomo. So I am broke now…

〓Shokotan〓

Today is Kamiyama’s birthday, so we had a cake during the web chat tournament!

What's that...? A summer festival today? I can hear the faint beating of drums. (゜ω゜)
When I recall the smell of summer night, or festivals in Taito-ku and Bunkyo-ku, I always get nostalgic and wanna cry.
Night, dawn, dusk… each moment has their own special memories.

Guys, are you enjoying your summer?? (＾ω＾)

Oh, my precious pink Sticks.
My treasures that I collected little by little.

Stick, skip skip!
When I draw a line of light, my wish comes true as easy as saying “one, two, three”!

HEART BROMU of Magical Emi...
KURU KURU BAATON of Perusha...
FLOWER BATON of Yumi...
I wanna add MINT ARROW of Sweet Mint.

Magic Collection (゜ω゜)
Oh, I wanna sing the theme song for Magical Girl Animation!!
I love Magic!! MAGIC!! Magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic, magic!!

My oil painting set makes my room more cluttered and leaves no more space. My room is filled with treasures...videogames, anime and live-action fantasy DVDs. I can't even find a place to step. But Mamitasu loves this room of Shoko goodness.
Mamitasu is always cool and serious anywhere she is, but when she is in my room with me, just two of us, she shows me expressions of love with her face. So cute!!
Giza kiss, which rocks the world, which the world would fall in love with.
Stripe Chocolate
I love you, Mamitasu. Love ya, love ya, love ya!

〓Shokotan〓

Watermelon, tu-tu-lu level up! Watermelon, tu-tu-lu level up! (゜ω゜)

Dragon Quest 5 is too good to play! (´；ω；`) Childhood is over really quickly. Papas is so kind, which makes me cry. As soon as I injured, he HEALED me right away. He rides me on his shoulder and we saw a river together. He saves me, risking his life. PAPAS…
How cruel. He was burnt until the body was gone, the smoke has risen, only a shadow remains….

Mamitasu had to watch it, right in front of her face…

Geregere was standing alone when everybody was gone…. How sad, what a pity!

Been a slave for 10 years… How sad it is! He became a king and his son became a brave man, but he deserved more than that. He is so unfortunate…

This game teaches me that even though you have a hard and tough time, you'll be rewarded if you can hang in there and keep trying. I feel this message.

The relationships between the characters are very real and easy to identify with, which shows us a lot.

This game is too good to play!!!

Oh ,I wanna read the novel again! Ryuka!! Ryuka!!

〓Shokotan〓

The three Moon Sticks together at last!!
These are the Moon Sticks from the earliest versions (my favorites) of Sailor Moon!

The one on the left is from the live-action TV series.
The one in the middle is from the first anime TV series.
When you insert the ring that comes as an accessory with this one, the color changes. Also, when you insert a Phantom Silver Crystal—sold separately—the music changes.
The right one has a Silver Crystal is already included. Wasn't this sold during the reruns?

When I went to Nakano Broadway yesterday, I found the middle Moon Stick on the 4th floor!! And for 6,000 yen!! The ring that's supposed to come with it was missing and there was no box, but I really really wanted it. I had this when I was a kid...
So I bought it immediately!!
Nakano Broadway! I cannot beat you, Nakano Broadway!
Banzai!
These three sticks are what dreams are made of for Sailor Moon lovers.

〓Shokotan〓

I haven’t read any books to learn how to do oil painting. Gotta get me one.

I drew a picture of Game of Death starring Bruce Lee when I was in junior high. It was real fun. I wanna do an oil painting of Bruce Lee (゜ω゜) Cutie cute!

〓Shokotan〓

I decided to start doing oil painting. (゜ω゜)
I bought a set of painting tools. (゜ω゜)

EXPENSIVE!! SHOCKED!! (＾ω＾;)(;＾ω＾)
I didn’t know that each color has a different price.
My room is small, so when I brought in the easel and paints, my room became even more packed and has no space anymore. (＾ω＾;)(;＾ω＾)
Oh!!

Happy-happy! When I was giza small, I wanted to be a waitress at Fujiya restaurant, but I was too young to work then, so I’ve been dreaming to wear that striped uniform. But you know what?!?!
Usually you cannot take this uniform anywhere else!!
The show called MUJACK made my dream come true!!
The uniform of my most favorite Fujiya Restaurant...Honancho store!! They let me wear it!!!! Woooooooo!!! giza happi happy!!! Scream!! Gyaaaaa!!

I just finished singing during a recording of the TV show THEM. Many thanks to the band!
Thank you so much to the fans and everybody who came all the way and waited to see me even though it’s a really hot day. Many cute fashionable girls in pink or costumes. I saw a girl in a Shiny Gate costume, which was perfect!! I wonder how she did that (LOL).

I made a mistake. Just one. I am sorry. Sowwy, sowwy, sowwy.

〓Shokotan〓

Today will be another hectic day (＾ω＾;)(;＾ω＾)

Awful, unbelievable footage!! Dangerous!! (＾ω＾;)(;＾ω＾) Dangerous(LOL) (＾ω＾;)(;＾ω＾)

And the products Nakano Broadway has were really awesome! (゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)ーーーーーーーーー
They really have a huge selection of Sailor Moon and Ranger stuff, so I ran over to them and bought tons of stuff even though I wasn’t planning to buy anything! Giza dangerous (＾ω＾;)(;＾ω＾) Expensive (＾ω＾;)(;＾ω＾)
But I found a giza beautiful rare product! Today’s Broadway trip was really cool!!

So I’ll do my best.

Bruce Lee's real handwriting and some clothes he actually wore! They showed me rare valuable treasures one after the other. I was stunned, my jaw dropped, and I was seriously drooling, ooooops!! I cannot dribble all over these Bruce Lee mementos! Safe, I managed to avoid that somehow. But my hands are shaking seriously!!! Mikomi, you’ve been living in this fabulous place since you were born!!! What’s up with that?!?! Marry ME!!!

〓Shokotan〓

This boy is awesome! He is the Nakamura's son, and his name is Jun-Fan Mikomi!! What a Fabulous name!!! Jun-Fan is the real name of Bruce Lee. Mikomi means “ultimate life”. So his name means “Bruce Lee is the ultimate life”!!

On top of that, Bruce Lee's daughter, Shannon, loves Mikomi. Super awesome!!! But I wanna get married to Mikomi, too!! Because he knows how to deal with girls even though he is still six years old.

〓Shokotan〓

A little dark but…

Wow！！ The legendary world famous Bruce Lee goods collector who also teaches Jeet Kune Do in Los Angeles who is said to be the successor of Bruce Lee,
the charismatic Yorinaga Nakamura, his wife, son and Keiko were all here for dinner！！！！

This was too cool, Nakamura-san is an idol to all Bruce Lee fans！！
He is the only man that Dan Inosanto has recognized as a full Jeet Kune Do instructor and he also has a giza huge Bruce Lee collection.
Awesome. I can’t believe it. Who would have thought I would meet someone like this in Los Angeles？

Had a great time talking about Bruce Lee’s private life, death and also about the people around him！！ He really cheered me up！！

〓Shokotan〓

Today is the anniversary of Bruce Lee’s passing, so I’ve uploaded tons of pictures.
We had a legendary night in Los Angeles！！

I had free time to eat dinner just one night in LA so I joined Keiko.
I was a bit depressed then because I couldn’t say hello to audience at Anime Expo’s opening ceremony.

Somebody said “I will take you a place that cheers you up”. And I followed…and then…

〓Shokotan〓

Rai-Tin seems to adore Bruce Lee, too (＾ω＾)
“Darn it, Raymond Chow!” yells Rai-Tin (＾ω＾)

Today's the anniversary of Bruce Lee’s passing AND the birthday of my dad, Katsuhiko!!
I'm holding an annual event of watching "Enter the Dragon" with Keiko. Might wanna watch "Game of Death" after this, cuz I'm so in love with that movie.

I dunno how many times I watched "Enter the Dragon". I'm glad it wasn't titled something else like "Han's Island"！！ Can’t get better than “Enter the Dragon”！！

This moment, I bet lots of people are watching "Enter the Dragon" everywhere around the world. So cool. Proof of his amazing life.

If there was a PS2 remake of Persona 1 with full voice and new dungeons it would be a god game.
But keep it mysterious and difficult！！

If I could hear Nate’s voice (;゜∀゜)=3 pant pant

And if it was done on PS3, then I may have to buy a PS3.
Hope it comes out.

I hope a heavily animated witch game comes out, like Creamy Mami Magical Emi Minky Momo！Newly added voices！Animated as well！！

Wanna see some new Sailor Moon as well！！The old comics from Jump are making a comeback so why not？

Going to buy Persona 4 today(゜ω゜) haven’t been able to sit down and take my time with games these past few years, so I’ve been playing portable games a lot, but Persona4 looks like it’s going to be a good game. I have the rest of my life to enjoy playing all the games that I have stored.

The Sukashikashipanman DVD will include a strange clip of Sukashikashipanman at the Donyoku Matsuri (＾ω＾;)(;＾ω＾) What’s the matter with you Sukashi? (＾ω＾#)
Are you trying to pick a fight by having the same release date as Shiny GATE?(＾ω＾#)

〓Shokotan〓

I blamed Keiko for not being able to find it (´；ω；`)
Made here look for something that wasn’t even here！！
Yokoegg, you’re too nice. I don’t know how I’m ever going to repay you but if something happens to Yokoegg, I want to be able to support her any way I can.
Lending a gentle and caring hand from one with a Gospel heart.
Respect…！！

Mamitasu is giving you 100,000 mamitasu points. I’ve never seen this many points…this must be the first time ever.

〓Shokotan〓

I bought Yokoegg a cake and started walking to her house wondering how I could help when suddenly

I got a shocking call from Yanagi-san

“found it at Sony”

WH━━Σ(゜Д゜；)━━AT?!

WH━━Σ(゜Д゜；)━━AT?!

Glad we found it but…
I feel giza awful for Yokoegg, and for Kato-san and for the big fight with Keiko…
Feel drained…

Yokoegg didn’t get mad at all.

She was like “No, no don’t worry about it. I’m glad you found it！！” with a smile…

(´；ω；`)ohhh

I though my heart was going to stop.
And it would have been a disaster without the Yoko costume.

Yokoegg and everyone involved, I’m sorry for all the trouble I caused.
Yokoegg, you’re too nice.
Really what can I do…
to make it up to you??
Thank you so much…(´；ω；`)

〓Shokotan〓

It was at Sony, but it was sent back to the Nakagawa residence！！ was all I kept hearing.

Looked all over the house but couldn’t find it, Kato-san, Ebi-chan and Keiko helped too but were almost in tears because we couldn’t find it,
Everyone took time out of there days off to look for it with no luck, it was two days till the flight and I was in tears, couldn’t go without the Yoko costume.

Went to all the Akihabara and Nakano cosplay stores but couldn’t find one, an auction would take too long.

Last resort, I’d have to ask a fan or anyone that owned a Yoko costume which made me freak out even more.
When I called the cosplay expert Yokoegg to see if she knew anyone who had a Yoko costume, she said, “that’s terrible, there’s not much time left, I’ll make one for you！！I’ll go buy the materials now”
and used her day off to buy the materials just for me (´；ω；`)

I didn’t want to be a bother and that’s not what I was implying for her to do at all but that’s her being the good friend she is.

Even had a gigantea fight with Keiko over losing the Yoko costume.

Panic！！

Just then…

〓Shokotan〓

There was a lot of trouble surrounding this Yoko costume (´；ω；`)

This Yoko costume was made for me for Sky-Blue！！It’s by COSPA so it was a giza great Yoko costume,

For my concert in America I was gonna need a costume for the unveiling of Tsuzuku Sekai, so singing a rock song as Nia wouldn’t be the best idea,
My dream was to sing Sky-Blue in as Yoko,
so we decided to take the Yoko costume.

But everyone was so busy with the tour and we didn’t know how America was going to turn out and no one was thinking straight.
Between looking for everything at the last minute and getting together all the costumes, nobody could find Yoko！！
I couldn’t find it anywhere！！

To be continued…

I wanna do a concert at Anime Expo again.
To become a queen of anime songs!!

I will keep singing many songs.

Originally, I am a negative person, but now I have many positive dreams.

I will keep living and fulfill my Giza life.

I wanted to eat pizza, but didn’t have time for that… Disappointed! I wanna eat, wanna eat! Pizza pizza! ・゜・(つД｀)・゜・
I Giza want pizza! Tu tu lu! ・゜・(つД｀)・゜・

⊂(゜Д゜⊂⌒｀つ≡≡(´⌒;;;≡

I will work hard and do my best to come back to Anime Expo in America.
I want to come back with tons of anime songs and do a cosplay concert!

This is the last beautiful scenery of LA that I saw.
I took many pics with my cell so I will upload Gigan-tons of them when I come back to Japaaaaaan!

= Shokotan =

Seems like Ms. Kamiyama got a serious boyfriend in LA!
Sam is 20 years old.
Sam loves erotic video games.
We’ve been calling him Erotic Sam.

Maybe they’ll get married!

Tu tu lu! Level up!!

Oooooh, ohhhh… it is sad…
I thought this LA trip was long.
But I have to say good-bye to LA al-lai-lai-dy…・゜・(つД｀)・゜・
No no, I wanna stay here longer・゜・(つД｀)・゜・

Very sad.

I just got to love American Otaku and American people, who are very cheerful, kind, generous, and wild.
But I have to leave soon. ・゜・(つД｀)・゜・

The concert was Giza awesome fun!!

Anime Expo was fun!!(＾ω＾)

This roller-coaster LA trip was a huge success.
I Giza love Anime Expo!

“Yaoi or Hentai”?? (LOL)
Such a wild show. (LOL)
Los Angeles, you are the best!

Glad that I have Donyoku-style artificially decorated nails. (＾ω＾)
The cashiers at the supermarket, the staff of Nokia Theater, a whole bunch of strangers that I met at my autograph session, and people that I just saw on the street…All of them were amazed at my nails saying “Let me see your nails”. It a good way to get along with them.

As I thought, there is no Donyoku-style decoration nails here in America.

When Sylvester Stallone came to Japan, he was surprised at my nails, which helped us talk more. My nails saved me then.
And my nails saved me again this time. (＾ω＾)
Jill&Lovers is the god! _φ(゜∀゜ ) YO!

I wish I could show American people the nails that I did last time. All of my nails had small cakes, macaroons, and Hello Kitty on them…

The roof of this ruined hotel is really high, so nothing is around it or above it. But there were Gigan-tons of seeds that look like red beans on the ground. It is pretty Mysterious,
“Fushigi Yugi : The MYSTERIOUS Play”.

Why, what, how?

Birds must have eaten themヽ(・∀・)ノ●ヽ( ・∀・)ノ● Maybe the seeds were in their poop. Chickens, why did you eat the stuff that you cannot digest at all?! (　゜,_ゝ゜)

You know what? This is the first time to show my forehead ( ・Д・)
We shot the music video of “Tsuzuku Sekai” on the roof of an old hotel!
This hotel is about 50 years old and it has Giza history. Awesome coolヽ(゜∀゜)ノ
Those who love anything old and in ruins, this is to die for.
A sunny day, blue sky, no clouds…
Super hyper coooooooooooool!

Some of the participants of the Masquerade. Those costumes are super high quality!

These girls cosplay Yoko and Nia from Gurren Lagann. (＾ω＾)

They were dancing to Yoko Ishida’s version of “Sorairo Days”.
Cutie゜+.(・∀・)゜+.゜cute !!

I asked how they did Nia’s hair. I guess they dyed their hair with Copic.
Wow ( ・Д・) Sugoi━━ヽ(゜Д゜)ノ━━!!!!

= Shokotan =

I was a judge at the Masquerade cosplay event. The cosplayers acted in skits and danced in groups. It was Giza fun and chaotic (LOL)
They hung in there long into the night. Isn’t this Sugoi?

Shoko’s first love, Sephiroth, did a swordfight. He swung around his Masamune sword and totally beat up Cloud and Tifa. But he later got beat up by big Moogle!!

Because the acting was Giza funny funny and the swordfight was Gigant cool, I decided to give them the Shokotan Award.

When we took a closer look at Sephiroth, he looked so much like Miyasako of the comedian duo called Ameagari Kesshitai.
Check out the guy on the left: http://www.fandango.co.jp/talent_prf/action/TalentProfileDetailSearchAction?unitId=20012&talentId=0

Because he looked so much like Miyasako, people around him started saying it, too.

Sephiroth probably knew what we were talking about since he lived in Yokohama for a month…

I felt Giza great walking around the venue cosplaying every day. I had never done that in Japan. It was a great feeling walking outside in my cosplay too (＾ω＾)

In addition, doing the cosplay concert was my dream. It’s amazing that my dream came true in America!

It is all of them, this is my Big Gurren Nakagawa Team!! I could do this concert in America and everything else, because they worked giza haaaaaard.
Everybody worked so hard with little sleep!
It finally hit me how big a deal it is to have an article like that in the newspaper (´；ω；`)

HUGE thanks to Big Gurren Nakagawa Team. I was so happy talking about the concert as we were eating some delicious Korean food.

Even though I had never sang in front of that many people in Japan, the concert in America turned out to be a great success with over 7000 fans. Thank you Giza much, everybody.

I am the happiest girl in the whole world.

Everything is connected together, good and bad. There is nothing to be wasted.
Everything leads to TODAY, this day.

Many things have piled up, overlapped, and been connected…

Can’t believe I could do a concert in America and everybody loved it.

I couldn’t do it alone.
It was impossible if it’s me only.
Everybody supported me.

I could meet really wonderful people who are supporting me. Fans who came all the way to LA. American fans who came to Nokia Theater. Every last one of them is a great person.

After all, I LOVE COSPLAY, ANIME and ANIME SONGS!

= Shokotan =

Ayanami from yesterday practicing for the concert and feeling extremely nervous.

The size is perfect for me. Giza like it, magical crush!
My glad rags!

It was fun. I won’t forget this concert for the rest of my life!

= Shokotan =

I sang “Sorairo Days”, “Happily Ever After”, and “Tsuzuku Sekai” for the first time in my Yoko costume. Yay!!
！m9(・∀・) Slap!

I was under huge pressure, cuz it’ll be recorded for a DVD.
The stage was HUGE.
No dancers or a band, so I was all alone. Nervous and lonely, but people from my fan club were in the front row making noise and supporting me. That energy reached American audience behind them. Everybody gradually started standing up.

Everybody loved “Sukashi Kashipan” for some reason.

I was not alone.
It was a heartwarming moment.

There were people who didn’t know me before but they saw my live concert and became my fans. (´；ω；`)　

I cried with joy.

= Shokotan =

I had dinner with some fans. I sang “Tsuzuku Sekai” again with all my heart.
When I finished recording this song, my heart was overwhelmed with emotion.

That was the time my friend passed away, and I was so sad just like the lyrics of this song. I was surprised, and even moved to the point of tears.

I’ll never forget how I felt then, and this song is my treasure. I’ll always love it.
Giza happy that I could show this to everybody for the first time.

= Shokotan =

The picture’s so bad…ヽ(；´Д｀)ノ

The Masquerade judges are all pro-cosplayers!
Their weapons were cool. And the one with the crescent shape and shining shaft…sugoi!!!! (＾ω＾;)(;＾ω＾)um um(＾ω＾;)(;＾ω＾)
Everybody speaks Japanese giza well, so I got along with them. (゜ω゜)

= Shokotan =

I was the Nia-costume-wearing judge at the Cosplay Event called Masquerade (゜ω゜)
It was fun!!!

After the live concert, I judged 50 cosplay teams in a row. No stop, no break. I thought I was gonna pass out, but all the teams performed whatever they wanted to, and it was funny!!! (LOL) Sooooooooo much FUN!

I want to enter this event as a contestant next year (゜ω゜)

= Shokotan =

I’m in the middle wearing the Nia contume. (＾ω＾;)(;＾ω＾) Can you see me?
I rushed ε≡≡ヘ( ´Д`)ノ to come over here right after the live concert, so I was sweaty and stinky for sure, but everybody was smelling me saying “you smell good, you smell good”. Sooooooo embarrassing… I don’t think I smelled that good…
For the first time at Nokia Theater, I showed them
My precious song.
Tsuzuku Sekai.
People I love saw me singing it for the first time. Really happy (´；ω；`)
We ate together and I sang again. Next time I will sing it in the Nia costume.

= Shokotan =

Afterwards, I had a banquet with fans (゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)ーーーーーーーーー(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)ーーーーーーーーー
I’m finished!
They came all the way to LA. Sugoi love (´；ω；`)
My live concert was successful because of their support. Cuz they were there, Nokia Theater got hot! Sugoi, really sugoi!
I kneeled down on the ground over and over. Can’t thank them enough… Thank you very much.
Happy that I could talk to them.

= Shokotan =

Everybody was standing and dancing during "Sukashi kashipan sukoshi hen”!!
Woowheeeeeeeeeww!
I enjoyed giza much (´；ω；`)

I’ve never been that nervous before. I was seriously shaking.
(´；ω；`)

= Shokotan =

Finiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiished!!!!!!
(；^ω^)(；´∀｀)ヽ(；´Д｀)ノ(；＞＜)(；゜Д゜)(;´Д｀)(;・∀・)(;´∀｀)

I sang “Tsuzuku sekai” for the first time in my Yoko costume.
It’s the theme song for the movie “Gurren Lagann”.

= Shokotan =

Yay━━＼(゜∀゜)／━━!!! Whoo hoo! Wild enthusiastic fans!
I love you, fans from Japan, thank you giza much for coming.
Thank you fans in America!

Gurren Lagann is soooooo popular! Sugoi!
I’ll never forget I did a live concert in Nokia Theater!!

I am on the way to an autograph session and then a banquet with fans from Japan.

= Shokotan =

Can’t believe my live concert was this successful!!
I said “let’s take a picture together for my blog” and they screamed so hard (゜ω゜)
The hall is packed by fans.
This is a huge hall (´；ω；`) but the fans came in one after the other.

During “Kimi ni Melolon”, I heard a couple was kissing.
(´；ω；`)
Hyper gaga!!

= Shokotan =

Fans on this side, thank you very much. You’re sugooooooi!!
Everybody was standing and dancing while I was singing "Sukashi kashipan sukoshi hen?"...Sugooooooi!!
America, you are the best!! I love YOU!!
So THIS is America～～ Sugoooooooi!!

= Shokotan =

Done!!!! (゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)ーーーーーーーーー
A memorial photo with the fans!
I’ll keep it for the rest of my life (´；ω；`)

Fans from Japan made giza noise and created great atmosphere (´；ω；`) So I could be brave. I can’t thank them enough.
When we have dinner together, please let me kneel down on the ground. I reeeeeally appreciate everything.

Thank you, everybody in America, they were standing the whole time. They showed me lots of energy…lots of love. Giza thank you!!

= Shokotan =

Finished my live concert!!!! I was shaking!!!!!
I almost cried.
Everybody got into it and grooved to my music, which blew my nervous feeling away.
It was FUN!! Thank you for making noise and having a blast!
Giza Thanks! It’s like a dream!!!!
Can’t believe everybody in America loved my concert!!

Sprite tastes giza good! (゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)ーーーーーーーーー giza delicious (゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)ーーーーーーーーー

= Shokotan =

I had a nightmare…. It’s like I bought a video game that if I lose in it, I also die.
Giza real. Cold sweats… Scared (((゜д゜))) tremble tremble…
The comedian Arino-san was in there… Arino-san looked real and he was the only one I could count on, and everybody lost and died…
Arino-san saved me, so I’ll buy some gifts for him. I think yaoi goods will be good for him.

= Shokotan =

Ordinary is boring, huh?
Even though I make a mistake, I will get over it, learn from it, and be Donyoku ambitious tomorrow.

If I go for it and open the door without being afraid,
everything will sparkle now, yeah!!!

WE CAN DO IT!!! There’s nothing we cannot do.
Face forward and let’s start, and let wild things happen.

The Final Fantasy costumes are great.
And I see lots of Lucky Star characters.

I saw a cool Sephiroth cosplayer during the panel discussion, but he left in the middle…

Singing “Sorairo Days” in my Rurouni Kenshin contume was pretty hard…
I don’t know how the live concert will turn out… Hang in there, my heart.

= Shokotan =

Oh steak!! It just tastes American (゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)ーーーーーーーーー

I just did a panel discussion type of thing.
People who wanna know about Shokotan are here to ask me some questions.
It was an hour event.
Huge place and so very quiet…

Thump thump (・ω・;)(;・ω・)

But some people are crazy about me, so I’m really happy (´；ω；`)
How do they know about me here in America? Very happy!!

It was a Q&A session, but also I sang “Sorairo Days”
Everybody looked kinda restless (・ω・;)(;・ω・)
But they start striking the “Kamina pose” together!!
Happy happy!

Hope many people come to my live concert.
Fans from Japan, please make some noise!!
I’ll do an autograph session from now (゜ω゜)

= Shokotan =

I ate too many steamed buns yesterday…
I wanna eat steak or something.
I wonder what’s gonna happen today? (゜ω゜)
Hope the American fans can recognize my Rurouni Kenshin costume!!

= Shokotan =

The opening ceremony was giza behind schedule (・ω・;)(;・ω・)
I missed breakfast… What’s gonna happen next??

Meal time! So hungry! I got a seat, and you know what?!? Akemi Takada was there!!
She is the amazing creator of the cute worlds for girls in her stories like Patlabor, Kimagure Orange Road—and even Creamy Mami!!
Wow!! (゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)ーーーーーーーーー(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)ーーーーーーーーー(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)(゜∀゜)ーーーーーーーーー
I so wasn’t prepared for this kind of amazing encounter. Thump thump!! (・ω・;)(;・ω・)
Kyeeeee!! I’ve never thought that I could actually talk to her.
(・ω・;)(;・ω・) Because of her, there is Creamy Mami and other great anime, and also people whose lives were touched by it.
If there was no Creamy Mami, my little Mamitasu wouldn’t be Mamitasu!
And who knows? I might have gone in a different direction and not have become a singer…
WOW~~~~!!!
The restaurant was Chinese, and they served steamed buns over and over.
I was surprised by the entire meal of just steamed buns!!　Tasty, but unusual.

= Shokotan =

Please don't worry, since I moved to a different place without any problems. I didn't expect it would be the subject of an article.

This woman is American Anime singer. Her very first question was about Bruce Lee.
She does cosplay and has a cat named Luna.
She likes Sailor Moon and Evangelion...just like me (LOL)

She's wearing a cute babydoll dress and collecting Bruce Lee stuff. I can be her best friend.

=Shokotan=

he he he he he...
I've already spotted some herds of Otaku...

Some wear Luffy's hat for sure! Bunch of people have mysterious weapons and Japanese swords, and others drag suitcases and walk around. (・∀・)grin

I will go to a welcome dinner. Seems like one of the best restaurants in LA.
Wowwww(((゜Д゜))) tremble tremble. Is it okay?

=Shokotan=

This is a woman who interviewed me.
She knows anime and Japanese pretty good.

Many things going on one after the other, so I want to update you guys.
How much is my cellphone bill gonna be?? Yikes-----(((゜Д゜))) Tremble tremble.
So scared, nooooo (((゜Д゜))) Tremble tremble. I pay everything out of pocket, yes yes.

"Your nails are awesome, let me take a picture!"
Many people came up to me and took a bunch of pictures.
YES! Glad I took care of them. This is called the Stallone Strategy.

Then took a picture with them (＾ω＾)

=Shokotan=

Those people are wearing Rurouni Kenshin and Resident Evil T-shirts.~~
American Otaku! They are serioooouuusss!! (LOL)

=Shokotan=

Her name is Luna. Cute name. (＾ω＾) Really slender and the shape of
her boobs are beautiful.

SHOOOOOT, Keiko is now at the Bruce Lee training hall.
She will meet Dan Inosanto who fought Bruce Lee.

So jealous. She said she saw some mementos of his. So so jealous! Wish I
could go!!!

=Shokotan=

Whoa!!
Had a bunch of interviews. Hectic frenzy.
And we will have welcome dinner with Anime Expo people.

One of the question of interviews was funny!
“Which cats are most tasty?”
They may think that I am a cat-eating-girl.

“Mamitasu (my kitty) Good smell (´∀｀)b Good!”
I said, and they understood my English!
Mamitasu smells giza good!

=Shokotan=

Nokia Theater (*´Д`) pant pant

In 3 days, I do my live concert here.(・ω・;)(;・ω・)
Today I had lots of interviews from American reporters.

Hope Keiko is okay, she is not here yet.

Wow America! Everything is BIG!

=Shokotan=

My staff got to me, yay!

Got visa to visit the US this time so it took more time at immigration.
Reception guy asked me “You singer?”
I kinda behaved suspiciously, so he said “Sing something”.
NOOOOOO(((゜Д゜))) Tremble tremble

Uuuuu, I should have sung something. I couldn’t deal with
American joke like that…(・ω・;)(;・ω・) uuuuu

Bored and waiting at the airport. (＾ω＾) So much like a movie!

Los Angeles YAY!!━━＼(゜∀゜)／━━YAY!!━━＼(゜

Looks like there was an bomb prank all of a sudden (LOL), so we're
stuck.

Lots of police and their popo-puppies (・ω・;)(;・ω・)
If Jackie Chan was here, it would be “Police Story”.
Or maybe Dekaranger can help. http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/dekaren/

Exactly same as the movie (LOL).
Anyway, it’s a pretty weird thing, so I'm just sitting here watching,
but my welcoming committee can't get me so my schedule will be messy!!

(´Д⊂ No...Nopopo (LOL) Got off to a rocky start. Giza (very)
excited!

Shokotan
