Holy crow... all right, Motsu updated on Electropica. THIS IS A VERY VERY ROUGH SUMMARY. I have a very difficult time understanding man-Japanese. Yuri's writing is much easier. He says that this is all a very emotional thing for everyone. He mentions that it's kind of odd for him, because most people his age go into producing by now rather than being singers. (He does not, however, disclose his real age, as usual.) But he says that this (being a musician) is the path he has chosen, and he intends to continue pursuing it "with all [his] power". He reminisces about how he and T-Kimura met 17-18 years ago and started working together and how Yuri eventually joined them. He says that as a trio, they laughed and cried together, and were together through good times and bad times. He says that this change in their group (going from three down to two) was not sprung on them at random, and that it was a mutual decision (so, like Yuri, he respects T-Kimura's decision). He mentions that this album coming out, as well, will reflect this change in their dynamic, but he will wait and see what people think. He says that, as well as continuing his work with m.o.v.e, he will continue to work hard as a part of Mother Ninja. He says that compared to m.o.v.e's aggressive sound, Mother Ninja is more laid-back, and although that might be risky for his image, he thinks it's a good combination. He says when he looks back over the years, he can say with honesty, "This life hasn't been so bad." Then he says that's a risky thing for the eternally-18-year-old Motsu to say! He's not yet reached the zero-milestone, so he'll keep going full-throttle! (I have NO idea what, exactly, this last sentence means, but it certainly sounds rather inspiring. XD; ) I'm sorry my Japanese sucks so bad. XD I'd really like to be able to give you guys something more accurate, but this is the best I can do. *had to use the dictionary... a lot...* m(_ _)m Thank you, i had difficulties to understand with google translation (but i was still close)... It has been a long time since Motsu doesn't write on the diary... Maybe he felt the need to say something to fans that doesn't go on Mother Ninja blog (or maybe my message where is say it's not move site has been read ? lol)

Wow, really interesting entry! I'm even more anxious for the group's upcoming album now and really curious as to how the group's direction is going to be since T-Kimura is now going to be officially out of the picture after Humanizer.
It's going to be weird seeing PVs without T-Kimura in them. It's not like Nagao Dai of Do As Infinity. He'd stopped doing public appearances with the group way before he "officially" left (he's not doing anything with the group since it's resurrection).
Either way, we'll see what happens, but as Yuri suggested, I will still continue to support the group. ^_^

electropica.com/images/discography/AVCT-10169.jpgI really don't like it because : - Kimura isn't on it - They are half naked and seeing Yuri like this is kinda degrading more when her breasts look like plastic one. - They are edited to make them 3d style but muscles of Motsu aren't real. Maybe it's what they looked for when making them "too much" and not human in a way and human in the simplest wear possible in a other. They look like Barbie dolls !

i think they are meant to look like dolls, if you look closely on motsu's arm you can see it seem as if it was attached to him there is even a line cutting through his neck in the middle

Well, there was an update on Electropica regarding BLAZABILITY and Lady Butterfly. I think that they've been released on mu-mo and other sites, but you can only get them if you have an amazing Japanese cell phone. The weird little barcodes on the information page are codes that you scan your phone over. I'm not sure if they're the songs themselves or simply ringtones, but either way I can't get them for you guys because I'm not in Japan anymore and my Japanese cell phone is only good as a paperweight these days. T__T

Thanks for the explanation, spike.
I'm still pretty sure you can only get them with a Japanese cell phone, though. You choose one of the supplier sites and then they're 105yen each and they want a cell phone email address - there are three buttons: one for ezweb addresses (E), one for docomo addresses (i), and one for other addresses like vodafone, etc. (Y).

Little behind in the m.o.v.e blog updates - sorry. Bad stuff going on at home.
Anyway, for Christmas I figured I'd try to get down what's been talked about:
Yuri got the flu and felt terrible for a while, but she's feeling much better now. She says health is the most important thing, and she encourages people to get the flu vaccine if they haven't already. From her image on that post, it looks like she really does have that tattoo that they print on the band t-shirts, which I did not know. She hopes everyone has a warm Christmas, however they decide to spend it, even for the people who are stuck working. As for herself, she says she'll report on her Christmas at a later time.
T-Kimura posted THE MOST ADORABLE PICTURE EVER of his children on his most recent blog entry, and then responds to the first 21 comments left on his entry about leaving Avex, with a promise to continue his replies soon.
Motsu put up an animation of the Mother Ninja logo, and in the post prior to it talks about how he had so many New Years cards to send out, and that he's concerned that he didn't send enough of them, because he received more than he gave out, he thinks. He says, "To anyone that reads this, MERRY X'MAS!!" In the entry before THAT, he talks about going bar-hopping for end-of-year parties and how he plans to cross over into the New Year while having a nice discussion with his liver. (LOL) Before THAT, he talks about how he saw graffiti while he was out and that it's a really cool art form. He says that he got drunk and probably said something like, "Please let me be your disciple!" to the graffiti artist. He says the streets at night are like a treasury of art.
*breathes* BEFORE THAT! He says that Aboo had a baby and the baby is really cute and has its father's eyes. He also talks about what I assume is his dog, which I didn't know he had one, named Pochi, and how he had to bribe him with food so he'd sit still long enough for Motsu to take a picture of him. He wanted to compare a picture of Pochi now to a picture of him three years ago. (He ends this entry with "pochikaresama" instead of "motsukaresama" XD)
And there are even more entries that I've missed before that, but since none of these actually have anything to do with the new album and it's 1:12am on Christmas and I have a raging migraine, this is where I'm going to stop. XD;
