I'll split the Maifo information in two blog entries, this one is about Maifo's activities in Japan, the other one is about Europe.
TSUKASA will be in a talk event called "This is backstage" in 30/3. I wonder what is this exactly, will it be open to the public or is it the same kind of event TSUKASA attended before - we got only a sneak peak video from the party.
SHUN., TSUKASA and ZERO will attend to the 3rd (30/3)and 4th (20/4) DJ event.
Maifo has already booked a venue for their 2nd anniversary live. It's 24th August at LIQUIDROOM EBISU and the live is entitled as REVERBERATIONS. Tickets will come on sale 14th July and they will cost 3,990 JPY.
Maifo has also opened a brand new online shop! You can take a look here!
At the end I'm presenting you a comment & live video from Shinjuku LOFT 2/11 and a picture of ZERO after the live.
The first time in 2013 year I went to have some drinks and today I'm having a hangover because of that... Well, I'm not the only one. HIZUMI wrote few days ago to Twitter that he also had his first hangover of the year. And we know he doesn't drink that often, I'm pretty proud of myself he had a hangover before me! >:D
Maifo announced they will have a live at 21st April with these bands: Kiryu, MEJIBRAY, Moran, Lycaon, Kameleo and Black Gene For the Next Scene. Pretty impressive list! I wish I were there. The concert will be held at Kawasaki CLUB CITTA and it's the final of Stylish Wave CIRCUIT'13.
ZERO went to a hair salon today and got his hair cut. It's so short now!
Also Maifo presented us today two videos from their previous tour:
I just read TSUKASA's latest blog entries (three of them). Believe it or not, it took ONE HOUR from me! XD His blog entries are always so damn long, now my neck hurts... However, I decided to blog about the things he said in the entry - the funniest things & pictures.
Okay. Maifo went by a ferry to Hokkaido at their The WOLRD of LIGHT tour. TSUKASA sang karaoke passionately, at first he didn't get any buddies but then little by little people came to sing with him. When returning, he sang karaoke alone since nobody wanted to sing. :D
TSUKASA was also speaking about sea sickness while travelling by a ship or a ferry. His advice is to take some alcohol! As some of my friends said, it might be his resolution to every little thing. XD Well, I'm going to a cruise just a night before Maifo's concert in Finland so maybe I'll try his advice :P
TSUKASA told us that ZERO and Kazuya had some deepthink talk together: they were talking about some serious stuff. Then TSUKASA joined them and it turned into a humorous talk.
He was also talking something about meeting a friend but I didn't fully understand that part of the post - did he meet an old friend of his, did he see somebody alike his friend or did something remind him of the friend.
Here's a picture of TSUKASA at their Hokkaido live:
And here's a picture of him at their Tokyo FINAL live:
Also TSUKASA made us some drawings, for Christmas and New Year.

And now for the ending of this blog post, something about ZERO:
He was thinking in his blog that he wouldn't be so "cool" if he had moustaches. Lmao! XD
He also wished everybody A Happy New Year 2103! So shall we enjoy the year 2103! ;)
Since my last posts there have been so many new pictures, blog posts and videos I'll write more about Ricky's, SHUN's and ZERO's trip in London!
ZERO were in a train together with SHUN. There came an old granny who was about to sit next to SHUN. but then he looked at him and sat next to ZERO instead. I find this very funny and I wonder how did SHUN. react. I bet he didn't get offended but laughed at the moment. And ZERO tweeted this to "humiliate" his buddy, LOL! XD More pictures of the exact event:
Maifo visited in such places as Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and then they went to few pubs and to a night club one evening. Here's a short interview from the event. And below there's a good video from the HYPER JAPAN.
The three of them bring some souvieniers to other members, for example, TSUKASA got chocolate. What a good imagination they have.
--- Apart from London, Maifo posted a short off-stage video in their YouTube Channel. (Watch it here) At the moment Maifo is in Sapporo, and ZERO posted a hot picture of himself.
Oh dear these Maifo posts are always so long! First of all, a video from Fukuoka.
And here's also ZERO's look from the appointed day:
Maifo also went for a car exhibition(?) and Kazuya posted a picture of it in Facebook.
--- And now I'll move to the London part~ Were there any friends of yours? What have they told about it to you? :) Two friends of mine, MonsterAyu and Emilia were there and they met especially ZERO maaany times.
So, Maifo had two signing events and the talk. MonsterAyu took a short video of the talk and posted it to YouTube. Here it is:
And the last, some pictures from London. In the first picture they just arrived in UK, the other pictures are from HYPER JAPAN.
"Today is rainy weather. Five seconds ago frozen HIZUMI here. It's November now, so it has become really cold. Nobody has got a cold, right? This year will end just in a month, safely one whole year finished UMBRELLA has its last event notification for the year! 23rd and 24th December are the day limits!! Everybody is super busy so why not hold a Christmas meeting! (laughs) The place is the well-known BUDDY in Koenji. Subject is (have no idea what the following means) ~ in the middle of great admiration plans!! You might see the new work "TRANSCORE" double name accessory if you come!"

HIZUMI went photographing together with Masato. Masato posted a picture in Twitter. I wonder, which one of them he is? I can't recognize, it's too dark and no face :(
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.
First of all, SHUN. has made his own Facebook profile and you can add him as a friend! This morning I was surprised when I logged in Facebook and saw a new friend request which was from him. I wonder... how did he find me or why did he add me. :D Maybe somebody requested me for him? You can find him by name "Shun Shun". ---
Two weeks ago Maifo had a live in Kumagaya which is ZERO's hometown. May I present some pictures from there:
---
Few days ago some Maifo members attended to a DJ event. Here's a picture of ZERO of that night (I suppose) and his song list.

There's also some new news about the event HYPER JAPAN in London. So, THE MICRO HEAD 4N'S will have two meet & greets and the talk. The meet and greets are at 5pm on Friday 23rd November and at 6pm on Saturday 24th November. I'm envious for those who can go :( --- And at last but not least some "news" from HIZUMI! He was partying the other day and the next day he had a very bad hangover so he decided to go to play some basketball with his friends Tatsuro (MUCC) and Gunji (the Fool).
