Letters for Karyu -project UPDATE

Some people have shown their concern about the poste restante system of Angelo. We visited the local post office and asked about the poste restante system. The post officer told us that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have the poste restante system in your country when you’re sending a letter to a poste restante address in another country. So according to her words it should be possible to send a letter for Karyu, no matter what’s the country you’re sending the letter from or do you have poste restante system or not. The only thing that matters is that the address is clearly pointed to “INTER PLAY MEMBERS" Karyu (because some other artists are using the same poste restante address) and then the address.

If you still have some doubts, you can visit/call your local post office and ask for more details. If you get a declining answer (which shouldn’t be the case), please don’t hesistate to contact me

Letters for Karyu – project

This project is about gathering all our love spirits into a letter etc. and send it to Karyu, known from bands Angelo and D’espairsRay. The idea of this project started when listening to Angelo’s radio program starring Kirito and Karyu. During the broadcast Karyu implied that recently he has been getting few positive messages and letters. And he asked everybody to write nice letters for him. This saddens us, the ones who came up with this idea of the project. A person should not need to ask to get positive feedback – positive feedback should be a self-evident thing.

Karyu is a man who has gone through both a lot of happiness and a lot of pain. He’s a man who keeps on going on and bravely walks his own path of life. But as everybody else, he’s craving for constant acceptation and love. He needs to know that people appreciate what he is doing right now and support him when he’s trying to find a place where he belongs to. The sentence “Please send me some positive feedback too” has got a deeper meaning behind the words.

Do You care about Karyu?

If your answer is “Yes, I do”, we challenge you to show it to him. The task is very simple: send something positive to Karyu – a letter, card, drawing, anything.

You can send your letter to the following address:

〒105-8799 日本郵便 芝支店留
「INTER PLAY MEMBERS」　Karyu様

JAPAN

or

"INTER PLAY MEMBERS" to Karyu
POSTE RESTANTE
Shiba-branch Post Office Tokyo
〒105-8799 JAPAN

We would like to know the amount of participants so when you have sent your letter etc. to him, we hope you’ll inform about it to us.

This time we ask you to concentrate on the good things. We know that there are still many D’espairsRay fans missing the band but the topic is really sensitive for him. And we think Karyu knows as well that there are people graving for the disbandment – But! He has got a brand new level on his life and that’s Angelo. Karyu is an amazing composer, guitarist and person and he is doing his very best all the time. So to sum up, we hope You to focus on Angelo and Karyu’s current life on Your letter etc.

We ask you to help. Today. Together.

Don’t we owe this to him?

Karyu's birthday

As you know, Karyu had his birthday on 7th December. I've got a picture of his birthday cakes, other one from the band and other one from fans.

Can you guess which one is presented by fans? ;)

The whole Angelo was on radio 23rd November in the program "Midnight Rock City" and here's the picture:

Karyu is no doubt the most handsome one!

And once again Karyu was together with Kirito in FM Fuji.

After the release

I received my copy of RETINA some days ago and I'm listening to it for the first time now. What are your impressions about it? I think... I think it's not one of those albums that stand out from the crowd, it's average good and I haven't found any of those kind of songs that would've blown my mind. I think I'll write a review at some time in the future.

---

Karyu has composed the following songs:
PROGRAM
Calvary
CONVICTION
RIP
Script error
Synapse

---

During the first week after the release RETINA sold 6027 copies and got the 23rd position on the Oricon list. I think over 6000 copies in a week is really good!

---

In the end, a picture of  Karyu and Kirito in BEAT SHUFFLE.

And finally, here's the cover art of every release:

Maifo + Angelo

Let's start with Karyu! The photoshoot of new album, RETINA, has been published!

What do you think? Karyu seems very normal himself in these photos, tho his hair seems shorter. But gosh Giru is handsome, don't you agree?! 

Have you already pre-ordered their new album, RETINA? :) I'm struggling with my money so I've been buying only the regular edition of Angelo releases - this time too... Since I'm not that big fan of Angelo, I only listen to it because of Karyu.

All the members from Angelo will be in FM NACK5 ~Beat suffle~ on November 16th from 19:10 to 20:30 JPT.

ROCK AND READ said in their Ameblo that the new interview of Karyu in RR044 is long and he talks about his pain which has gone slowly away. He also talks about his ambition. Here's another picture of the photoshoot:

---

TSUKASA hit his knee to a snare of his drum set and he has been so much in pain so he went to see a doctor in orthopaedic. He was given some medicine and he gave some blood test and went to a X-Ray. He will receive the results later. Let's hope everything is okay.

Maifo's new tour, THE WORLD OF THE LIGHT started today from Saitama! ZERO was again peeking the fans when they were queueing... Here's some pictures from today!

As you can see, Maifo has got their 1st photoset now! I found HQ big pictures via my friend from a Japanese but I need to ask her if I can use the pictures and upload them here for you to see. Be patient~!

This is ZERO's hand. Maifo has made some sticker tattoos, as you can see. XD

TSUKASA presented us two Montaro (Maifo's mascot) stickers in his blog! Here they are~

Angelo Feather PV preview

You can see the Angelo's new PV preview right here. It comes after the GazettE's new PV preview. The video is very low quality so there's not much to see. But the 25-second-long clip reminds me of D'espairsRay's Squall PV this far.

Angelo comment & TSUKASA blog translation

Angelo posted recently their new comment with the whole five members! Karyu makes me smile. In my opinion, he seems very excited and because of that is trying to hide his smile but there still IS the fabilous smile we all love. Comment here.

One of the earlier D'espairsRay ameba blog translators, livejournal's iwasaki_momoko has started to translate TSUKASA's personal ameba blog. Thank you! You can find the translations here.

"Information! http://angeloweb.jp/entrance.html I decided to start walking toward a new dream in this group. Now I'll just do my best to continue to bring different emotions. And to meet a lot of smiles and excitement again!" - Karyu in Ameba Nau

"Finally!!
It was finally announced!!
Karyu join the band Angelo!!

People hoping to dance again,
People having a mix of feelings,
Who sent me many comments also,
You will surely see Karyu on Live soon!
I think it's a good thing!
Because Karyu is Karyu, it will never change !
After the creative project [url = http://www.umbrella-h.com/] UMBRELLA [/ url] of Hizumi,
A stable resumption of activity from buddies seems starting!
With the dissolution, a great year
Turned into a really sad year but,
It's a new beginning from now,
It will also become a important thing with all of you,
I hope so anyway.
