Still up and wide awake, waiting for my hair to dry. Even though I have to be up early tomorrow...

Then I remembered that it's Sunday after all, and Shinjiro should've posted on the official AAA blog by now.

こんばんは〜！！！

今日で、あれから一年がたちました。
人によって、考え方や思いは違うやろうけど、起きたことは、巻き戻せない。
でも、もう一回作り直して、前より素晴らしいものができると思う！！前を向いて、お互い助け合って楽しく生きていこう！！

僕も、いつも家族や友達、メンバーやスタッフ、ファンのみんながそばにいてくれるから、こうやって生きていける☆

毎回毎回思うけど、せっかくこの仕事をしてるなら、一人でも多くの人を幸せにしたい(^O^)

みんながHAPPYな日本になるように、大きなことはできないけど、やっていこうと思います☆

今日も、舞台をいつもと変わらないようにできて、お客さんが笑顔になってくれたことを、心から感謝します！！
そして実は今日なんと、メンバーが全員観に来てくれたんだな！！
来るなって言ったのに、みんな来やがった（笑）

まぁホンマは嬉しいねんけどね(^O^)

そして、夜からみんなで飯を食う！！

こんだけ一緒にいると、ぶっちゃけ、色々あるけど、もう家族みたいやから、何があっても強い絆があるなって最近思う！！

なんやかんや、みんな結構照れ屋やから、普段はありがとう、とか言わないけど、お互い実は思ってる。なんか不思議な関係（笑）

これからも、七人でできるだけ多くの人を幸せにしたいし、何かを伝えていきたいなぁ〜(^O^)

写真は本番あとみんなで☆
ありがとよっ！みんな(^O^)

I actually think this is quite a thoughtful post - his posts have a tendency to be that way sometimes, but I thought this one was especially nice - so I'm going to make an effort to translate it:

"Good evening!!!

It's already been a year since then, today. (A year ago, to the date, was the Tohoku Earthquake.)

I guess people's ways of thinking and their thoughts have changed because of that, but we can't go back and change things that have already happened.
But I do think we can rebuild, and we can make things even better than before! Let's move forward, and help each other out so that we can all live life to the fullest!

For me, I've been able to live in this way because my family and friends, the other members and our staff, and fans, have always been by my side ☆ 

I think about this each and every time, but since I'm in this line of work, even as an individual, I would like to make many people happy. (^o^)

I think that for us to be a HAPPY Japan, even if we can't do great things, we must all carry on with our lives ☆

Today as well, the play went on as usual; seeing all the guests' smiles, I was really thankful, from the bottom of my heart!! (Shinjiro's currently acting in a stage play, which I think started its run just this week. He's sort of headlining it, together with Maekawa Hiroki.)
And actually, today, all the other members came to watch!!
Even though I told them not to come, they all came, haha...

Well... but I was actually really happy (^o^)

And then at night, we all had dinner together!

Just being like this together, being frank with each other, and many other things, it's just like a family. And no matter what happens, we have our strong bonds with each other; that's what I've thought recently!!

We're all kind of shy, so we don't usually say thank you and things like that, but I think we do think that of each other. It's kind of a strange relationship, haha. (Really, he thinks everyone is shy...?? I thought that was just him in particular. Lol.)

From here on as well, the seven of us want to bring happiness to as many people as we can (^o^)

The picture was taken with everyone after the performance ☆ 
Thanks, everyone! (^o^)"


And then there was this on Naoya's Twitter (which I suppose was taken during dinner):

Ahh, they all look so happy together. I just love these people. (^-^)

 

And from the Twitter conversation that followed the picture...

Naoya: Everyone was gathered together today. ru-ru-ru ♪
Misako: appuru, appuru, ru-ru-ru-ru-ru ♫
(The infamous line which Shinjiro was forced to say during the Aomori performance of their 2009 tour XD)
Shinjiro: That's mine!
(Although I didn't think he'd actually claim it... LOL)
Misako: Ah, it's Yano-senpai!
Naoya: Yano-san ♥

LOL.... So I guess Shinjiro's character in the play must be named Yano... hahahaha....
