An cafe

Thank you for the six years.

It’s Miku. I’m late in writing this diary, sorry. I hadn’t sorted out my mind, so I couldn’t write. It’s still not sorted out, but I’m going to be honest.

Members, staff and cafekko, together we grabbed the Budokan. Can you believe it, I never expected this when the band started. I still can’t believe it.

The wedding ceremony at Tokyo Budokan. I can’t tell in a single word how much I enjoyed it. More than enjoyable, my feelings were greater and different.

The encouraging voices of the Cafekko made my heart tighten till it hurt. It was painful. I knew this activity pause would be difficult. I can’t say any pretty words. Even though I say we’ll be back, even though I say we’re not splitting up, we end up creating a distance. I’m sorry. Even though I was the selfish one who said “activity pause”.

“I’ll be happy if I can just play there once.” I thought so before I did Budokan, but now I want to see you (Cafekko) and that view again. Because [who?] will definitely show [what?]. So just wait. Because we’ll become stylish and return.

Then, January 5th was my birthday… It was really lonely. Usually, every year, we have a birthday live. This year, we didn’t. I notice this gratitude because I’ve lost it. I’ll be good if we can do it again sometime.

I really can’t wipe the lonely feelings away. But the feelings will change to strength. Because my goal as a 26-year-old is to have self-confidence. Believe in myself. After all, that is self-confidence. I will strive to gain self-confidence!! Because I want to meet all of you again. So from Miku from An Café, it’s Bye Bye.

Thank you for the six years.

It’s Teruki. It’s late, but thank you for January 4th, Budokan.

With what feeling should I stand on stage, I didn’t sort it out until the end of the end. Activity pause, Budokan, what we promised Bou-kun, the memories of six years, the place that was the goal of the important person that passed away last year, the many benefactors we’ve met until now ... there are all kinds of feelings.

The answer that came out of all that was, after all, that I should do the best live that I could. Isn’t that the least I can do to return the favor? I wanted to show how I’ve grown and get a feeling of “How good that we supported you!” from everyone. And then, on the Budokan stage where everyone was so kind to raise me up, I myself wanted to do a live with no regrets. Before the live, as I stood before the once-in-a-lifetime big stage, I had a feeling like I it was a challenge to a fight.


When the live started, and I tried to stand on the stage, I could see everyone’s face well, and I could perform like myself with a good feeling. I thought it would feel like you were far away, but it was surprising. I could see everybody moving, and it was really a lot of fun. Nervous feelings and a proper pleasant feeling, it was very enjoyable. At the other side of the last one song, I ended up crying, but I don’t even understand that very well myself. Suddenly, the tears came, just like that, I raised my voice and wept.


And in the end, before we left the stage, didn’t everyone sing? “Smile ichiban ii onna”. I was so moved. I was surprised. What’s that, I thought. Thanks! From now on, I’ll work hard.

After the live, I went back to the dressing room, and as you could expect, I got so lonely. Because our lives were mostly An Café every day. Photoshoots, writing songs, going to the studio, before, everyone was there. Because when we move as An Café, we all move. And the moment I started feeling that that’s going to take a break, of course I got lonely. But at the same time as loneliness, I felt a lot of gratitude. It’s a thanks like it would be good if I said it tens of times. I’m too happy. Six years.


That I was able to meet An Café, now, I’m more grateful for that than for anything.
The studio in Ikebukuro where I saw An Cafe’s notice and met Miku-kun and Kanon-san and Bou-kun, and also takuya and yuuki, the many friends and everyone on staff, and then all the cafekko around the world, I could meet each one of you.

I liked music and drums from before, but now I like it tens of times more than before. I love it when someone enjoys my music. Many lives, many travels, many letters and messages, and many many things that happened …
Through music, I’ve come in contact with people, and I’ve learnt about people. I have still a lot left to learn. But if I hadn’t met An Café, I would never in my life have cried as much or laughed as much from the bottom of my heart. Because I was able to meet An Café, I became who I am now. What moved me on January 4th was the wishes and passion of the many people who have supported us until now.


We’re still, yet, from now on. But each of us will mature on our own, and some day, we’ll definitely come back. If you’d like, please wait.


The wonder of a fortuitous meeting …

THANK YOU Cafekko From KANON.

Yesterday is a scene with a lot of memories; I felt your voices with all body, all soul, at a cell level. Thank you so much.
I was deeply moved by your beautiful tears, smiles. Thanks.

I will love the Cafekko until I die.

Today, I’m all out of energy, I can’t move.

Flop.
