Right now, we are in the middle of our Japan tour, and next week we will be in Taiwan for a fes and next month we have our North America Tour.
I think it's been 13 years since we last visited Taiwan. It's a festival so our stage time is limited, but we hope we can perform 13 years' worth of our absence for our fans in Taiwan.
The first time we toured North America was about 9 years ago. We plan to play songs from that time so please look forward to our shows. 
Right now we are traveling up north for our shows in Japan. I plan to eat a lot of delicious meals so I won't catch a cold. See you guys at the shows!
