[FF] REGRET


It’s already afternoon, time for me to do my job as a maid ^^ . I am on the way to cafe latte. The sun shining brightly but there are grey clouds, I think the rain will falls. But the sun.....
I arrived the Cafe. It’s still quiet, no customers there only me and Asami. She’s my partner and the cashier. I change my clothes at maid-room. My uniform, navi-blue blouse and black skirt, it’s about 3cm overknee. But it’s still comfortable for me. I always like this uniform!
One-by-one, customers come in. And the cafe slowly become crowd. Another maid already there too. Finally, the rainfalls.

I see a customer who like a mysterious man. He’s wearing a black hat and black-leather jacket. Anything he wears all black except his shirt, it’s solid white. He’s sit near doors. WAIT!! I think I ever see that style, but where and when? Even I can’t remember his name.
“Maid! Come here!” I think he’s calling me. And I immediately approaced him and ask what he want to eat or drink.
“I want a cup frappuccino, please.” Ask him.
“Uh.. another?” I write down his order.
“Nothing.” He said shortly.
“O.k wait, sir.”

~~

The frappuccino is ready to serve. I give it to the ‘mysterious’ man.  And I go back to my place. Leave from him, but at my place, I’m still curious with him, why he use all-black except his shirt. I think I ever see him.......
 I see he’s writing a letter at the table, I don’t know why he’s write it in the cafe.
That man walk into the cashier and pay bill. After he receive his bon, He’s not leaving the cafe! He sit on the another chair ask me to remember him.. But I can’t remember who is he. His face covered with mask and his hat on his head. He give the letter that he wrote. And suddenly leave and dissapear.
Ayame-chan... I’m very sorry that I’ve made you hurt last time. That girl, I’ve leaved her. And sorry I’ve made you curious with my style today. All-black white shirt that I ever wear when first time I meet you. I scared if I use a shirt and jeans that I usually wear, I scared you will more hate and you will kicked me out from this cafe and I can’t give this to you. I STILL LOVE YOU....
Uhm,, it’s okay if you still can’t forgive me. By the way, I’ll move to Hokkaido for my job. And never come here again. It will make you happy, right? As you told to me ‘I don’t wanna see you again!’ and leave me alone. This what you want, never meet me again. I will leave today after I leave this cafe....
And the last...  It’s really GOODBYE.

– Kuwahara NOBUTO’

All of sudden, my tears are falling and finally I remember who is he. He’s Nobuto, a man who was made my heart hurts. I have forgive him for long time but he doesn’t know. I leave from cafe and try to chase him. But, He’s already leaved...... I cry and cry.. Regretting the moment in the past time..
“I SHOULDN’T SAY THAT TO HIM!!!” I scream under the rain. Kneeling and regretting.
Now, he’s really leave me.... I thought. I stand up and wiping my tears. I walk back into the cafe with my all-wet body. Nobuto’s letter still in my hand. And thinking he’ll happilly live in Hokkaido. Goodbye dear... Only that phrase that I can say right now...

UVER Interview : Katsuya


50 Questions for Katsuya

1. Can you raise up one most memorable event to UVER?
It would be annual UVER Steamboat. That’s our year end celebration party. Since it is near to Takuya∞ ‘s birthday, and also the completion of the album, hence making it even more memorable.

2. What is the difference between the current house and the UVER house?
Very quite. Partly because the current house is half underground (?)

3. After moving to this house, what’s the first thing you purchased?
Toilet paper

4. What’s the first thing you would do after you reached home?
Since my computer is used to play music, the first thing I would do is to switch on the computer and play CD.

5. Which part of the house is the best to relax yourself?
For now, the place I can calm/relax myself would be the working room.

6. What is needed to relax yourself?
Music. Recently keep buying CDs home and listen to them.

7. What CD did you buy then?
Marina Lake.. Something like Last Winter. I will buy those that I found them nice when I was in TOWER RECORDS (CD store in Japan)

8. Usually what time you wake up, and what time you go to bed?
Before this, around 1a.m. I will go to bed, but yesterday when I looked at the time, it was already 5a.m. It looks like my inner clock has gone a bit haywire.

9. What would you wear to sleep?
Singlet. Top would be T-shirt. Sometimes I would put on the Infrared stockings.

10. Are you someone who scared of cold?
Sometimes only. I can’t sleep when it is too cold. But that’s the same if it is too hot. When the weather is too hot, I would find ways to make my feet cool down. (smile)

11. Please describe your most recent dream.
Making Pre production with the other members in the new house. Later just to find out that the room itself can never fit in that many people, but that’s what happened in the dream. Anyhow, most of the dreams would be going to amusement parks.

12. Now there is 2 days holiday, what would you do?
Go for a trip. Hot spring or something like that.

13. Going with who?
Traveling around should be fine. Don’t know where I heard this from, but someone told me who traveled alone to overseas said that was a great and fun experience and that you can do whatever you want!
Favourite Space in My Life
Sofa :: After struggling for 3 days, wandering from shops to shops, finally I found it. Can choose colours, can wash, comfortable. It is so soft when you sit on it, it is definitely reasonable to sleep on it (smile). It is a 4 person sofa. When you are alone, you can always put your feet up. The point that it can be stretched out is very awesome.
Table :: This is also carefully picked. Eventhough it is coffee table, it is taller than the sofa. Really like the glass design of the table. Actually this has not been delivered to my place since it is actually quite big. It seems that the workers of the store took 2 hours just to assemble the item. Very tough to put them together, I don’t think I can do it alone. (smile)
IMac :: The Windows that I was using spoilt, so I bought an Imac to replace it. At first I really have no idea how to use it, but now I am getting used to it. Really like the design. Now, I always use it to compose songs. But since I was too excited when I was purchasing this, I bought the big screen, making my neck very exhausted, this is the downside of it (smile)

14. When do you feel happy?
In Sleep (smile). I will always look forward to the time I go to bed. I always go like this, “Yes! Sleep ba!” After taking a bath, doing all the necessary things, then I will only go to sleep.

15. What did you smile of first in 2008?
Ehm.. what could that be... I think it was because of Nobuto. Either Nobuto or Akira. That time, we were doing something very interesting. Can’t really recall what happened but definitely it was one of them.

16. What made you happy recently?
The sofa reached!

17. Anything that made you excited lately?
Probably when we were having beer. But lately I have been considering to stop drinking anymore. Beer gives off a rather dangerous scent, and it will make someone forget himself.

18. Everybody said that after party BUGRIGHT was completed, Kat-chan was crying and being angry at the same time (laugh)?
Ah, that time was a bit... Everyone also shed tears, why did they cut off that part, as if I was the only one who acted like that. I don’t like this (laugh). It shouldn’t be a problem if that was Katsuya though.

19. What’s your current dream?
Continue making UVERworld shines.

20. What was your childhood dream?
Pilot or a cook.

21. When was that?
During Kindergarden. That time I thought Takuya ∞ how to make paper plane. It was that time when I wanted to 
be a pilot. That’s why I read a lot relating to pilots.

22. What is your kind of girl?
Gentle and understands people.

23. How would a girl attract your attention?
Ehm, talking about this, eventhough generally if that’s a girl it will attract, but whenever I see girls putting their 
hair on two sides, that’s rather attractive to me.

24. What would you do on your first date with the girl you like?
Disneyland and Disney Sea.

25. You like to go to these places?
There are many places that I want to go, but never have the chance to go. That’s why I want to go to somewhere that can also satisfy myself, just like Disney Sea. I have wanted to go there for a long time now.

26. Do you believe in UFO and aliens?Absolutely YES. Isn’t there an Area51? I am very interested with the mystery which has not been solved after like 50 years.

27. Have you watched a movie repeatedly?
Yup. There are lots of them such as, THE ROCK, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, GAME etc.

28. Dogs or Cats?
Definitely dogs.

29. What would you do when you are angry?
I will not talk at all.

30. Do you have some countries that you want to go?
Countries such as Egypt.

31. Have you tried overseas vacation?
On our graduation from the Specialised School, we (10 persons) went to Los Angeles (7/8 days)

32. Any knockdown in drinking before?
Countless. I am sure the team know this better than me. (laughs)

33. Until now, the most epic hairstyle.
Dread black-hair. When I was 20/21 years old.

34. Say something to the 10-years-ago-self?
I was 17 years old. I would tell him not to go into Specialised school is actually better. Don’t go... (laughs)

35. Next, 10 years later?37 years old? Are you still alive? (laughs) Next would be, where are you staying now?

36. Up until now, the most embarrassing event that happened.
There was once this year waved at me, so I waved back. I didn’t realise that the girl’s friend was actually standing behind me.

37. When did that happen?
During high school time. That was the girl I like, that’s why I was so embarrassed. I got the -“Ah! It wasn’t me??!!” –feel. I quickly rode my bike away. Seriously too embarrassing.

38. During LIVE, after entering the backstage, what would be the first thing you do?
Find my place, then put my things on the seat.

39. Before this, weren’t you the fastest one to prepare to go home?
Last time, before LIVE started, I would pack my things first, well prepared to go home. But recently I found out that it would be better if I don’t do that.

40. Why?
Because if I have packed my things, the staffs would always ask me to clean up the backstage. (laughs)

41. What did you buy recently that captures your heart most?
Jeans.

42. House chores, cooking. Which are you better at?
Cooking. Every UVER steamboat, the food is normally prepared by me. I know how to clean a chicken and also how to make fish cakes.

43. How would you release your tension?
What would I do... Running ba.

44. Are you quick in bathing or slow?
I would use quite sometime to bath. Around 1 hour oh.

45. All the members are slow in bathing, what happened when you guys were staying together?
The bathing time is usually separated – morning and night. Due to the fact that only Takuya ∞ and I bath at night, we rarely crashed into each other. The problem would be Nobuto, Akira and Shintarou bath in the morning, hence they will normally crash into each other.

46. What would do in that 1 hour bath?
I will only play PSP before sleep and when I am bathing. Or reading books. Last time when I was staying in UVER house, I will bring my phone into the bathroom and watched TV. But I can not do this now in my new house because my house is half basement, hence the reception is a bit bad.

47. You do use bath tub?
Yes. Normally it would be 45 ˚C. But recently as my body has been sweating irregularly, so I changed it to 42˚C

48. In your eco life, anything that you have been practicing?
Separating rubbish. And won’t switch on too much electronics.

49. Lastly, anything you are proud of?
Having a Qualification (Certificate)

50. You do have many of those yes?
Around 14, I guess. Chinese letters appreciation Level 1, Programming National level and also, Bookkeeping(?) Level 1, Other than that, the 5 level that must go through to become a Tax officer, I have already gone though 3 levels.

Rice.

None (laugh). I don't want to tell others about my personal life.

46. During LIVE, what's the first thing will you do when you enter the backstage?

47. Did you buy anything good recently?
Bass I guess. I bought 1 new one!

Charming point? That's disgusting... If I were to say about myself... If I do have to say one, I think it's one of my shortcomings?

49. What's something that you are afraid of and incapable of handling?
