here's the schedule if anyone was planning on trying to watch the live tmr!!! Tra is on 2nd at 16:40!! DON'T MISS IT!!!!

you can never look like an idiot when expressing love for bandmen <333 NO SHAME!!

YAASSSS!! Here's the youtube link!!! TRA TRA TRA will be up second!! SEE IF YOU CAN FIND ME!! lolol

Hey guys! So I forgot to mention earlier, but you can order TRA TRA TRA phone cases for your iphone/android!! (◯ロ◯) The phone cases are only available online and they ship internationally! The shipping fee will be added separately to your order (information here) And don't worry! The site has English!! If there is any Japanese with no English equivalent/the English is too Engrish to understand, let me know and I'll help you out as best I can (◯ョ◯) black (iphone) white (iphone) black (android) white (android) I bought the black iphone case a while back. The quality is not the greatest to be honest (the thread kind of frayed quickly, but not so much that it's falling apart). Also the back creases after a few uses. BUT OVERALL I LOVE IT *biased* It protects my phone well! (necessary considering how often I drop it lol) and even has some slots to put important cards in! Other than the string around the edges fraying a bit now and then I haven't had any problems. I'm not sure how the android cases would hold up though. In any case (no pun intended), the designs are beautiful! I'm not sure if Hiroki designed these too or not (he seems to do a lot of designing and he promoted the crap out of these for a while, but I can't remember if he actually mentioned who designed them lol), but regardless! They are awesome! and Tra <333

NUUUUU I'M SORRY GUYS T____________________T </3 I PROMISE TO WORK HARDER IN THE FUTURE m(_ _)m

GUYS!! HIROKI HAS AN INSTAGRAM!! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS????? https://www.instagram.com/hiroki_official__/ <33333333333333333333333333333333

ugghhh I'll be at work during that time T_T

LOLOL RYO <3 I'm just gonna put this here... Those are all my favorites too!!! They don't play We-KID live though very often though. I think it's hard to get the crowd hype with it unless they like hiphop-y things T_T (there's not really any jumping/headbanging/furi... I mean there's a little, but compared to other songs it's juts like swaying with the beat like yeeeeeeeaahhhhh this is awesooooommee... but typical bangya don't appreciate that maybe??? lol) oh and KAMIKAZE IS SO GOOD! lol <333 que sera sera, メルト, and KAMIKAZE are DEFINITELY the most fun live imo. AND AS RYO KEEPS SAYING, they are a "LIVE BAND" soooo everyone HAS to see them live to really understand how awesome they are <3

IT WAS SO FUN!!!! and no problem!!! ^^ hopefully you can see them someday~!! JUST DO IT!! SEND HIM A FUCKING HEART!!! hahahah Just be like "Hi, Hiroki!! I'm not in Japan so I can't go see you but <3333" lololol

BEHOLD THE PIC SPAM FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE (◯ロ◯) one-man rehearsals: (◯ミミ◯) one-man pre and post-live: (◯キ◯) complete with download links if you want all of the pictures without having to save them individually (◯ョ◯)

HIROKI IS RESPONDING TO ALL DMS (twitter direct messages) UNTIL TOMORROW NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT! (JST) Go send him something!! Even if you don't know Japanese. Just a "Hi! I like TRA TRA TRA!" would be good! They need to feel loved!!!

Hiroki <3

nothing yet, but they're always tweeting about making new music and when I asked Ryo about a PV he was like 楽しみにしてね！ SO maybe soon? ^^

Set list from their first one-man last night!! I will never understand why people stand in the back at a freaking ONEMAN, but whatever. I had a great time! For Shangri-la we did the circle mosh and Ryo was trying soooo hard to get the people in the back involved but they were having none of it. lol at one point the shikiri just ran straight at someone in the back to get them involved (I think they were friends though? lol) but yeah despite those people, it was great ^^ And Mamoto was there! And other bandmen I didn't recognize cos I suck at recognizing people! lolol Overall, the guys all looked really pleased with themselves. Ryo was all smiles. Hiroki's drum flashed when he hit the snares lol. Omi's face was LITERALLY in my face. He needs to not lean over the bear so far haha Other than Ryo dropping the mic mid song (lol) and not being able to find the mic when he came back on for the encore, it went down without a hitch. ^^ So proud of these guys!! They said thanks about 230947340873 times. It seems like this band is really important to all of them. Hiroki mentioned that Tra3 is the first band he's been a part of since the beginning. Ryo and Omi both said that last night was their first one-man EVER (I forget if Hiroki said if it was his first one-man or not as well. My friend said he did though lol). For Ryo it was doubly special since the one-man was actually ON his birthday. It was a night of "firsts" for everyone I don't think I've ever had so much fun at a live before!! *can't stop smiling*

I TOOK PICTURES WITH THE BANDMEN. I will post more later when I'm like.. sober. hahahaha

I LITERALLY CANNOT WAIT!! just a few more hours til the one-man!!!!!!! *dying*

@Yukimotome too T_T Hiroki's birthday is in late March!! Maybe you'll be here in time if they have some kind of birthday event? Another oneman? It seems unfair If only Ryo and Omi get birthday one mans. I would assume they'd have one for Hiroki too lol (◯ロ◯)

One more day until their one-man!! Here's some pic spam from their dress rehearsals! lol lol and some Hiroki English fail: Anyway!! Pretty sure I'm the only one on these forums going to the oneman haha but they will have atari cheki. If you get Oatari you get a signed snare head. If you get the regular atari you get a signed personal belonging of one of the members.

Thats true. I pretty much only ever bought it if my bands were being featured. I think the sharing of it online was a big factor, but yeah they definitely should've stopped production or changed their marketing plans or something before it ended up like this. They could've tried to make it more easily accessible for foreign fans maybe. That's part of the reason why we shared it online I think.

@Pho LOL I was just about to do that too

Omg I just saw bandmen posting about this on twitter!! I was hoping that I was misreading it (read the article like 3-4 times) ｡ﾟ(｡pдq｡)ﾟ｡ They said a lot of it had to do with the rise of info being available online and whatnot now yeah? The internet is a blessing and a curse... >< I still can't believe it... granted I haven't bought a SHOXX magazine in years but... T_T

http://v-live.futureartist.net/video/60199 TRA TRA TRA comment! Why is Hiroki so awkward? lol He just copies people/repeats what they say lolol
