Kawatani Enon's blog post after Becky's first TV appearance in 3 months

13 May 2016
To everyone

After watching the broadcast of KinSuma today, I felt that I had to write and I'm bypassing my agency to write this blog.

First of all, the LINE content published by Shukan Bunshun is all true.
And when I first send the FAX out to say that Becky and I were friends, that was a lie, it was a romantic relationship. I am truly sorry for lying. Until the divorce, we said we would be friends. I couldn't see around me, actually I wasn't thinking about how anyone else would feel. I caused sorrow to both of them.

Trampling my wife's feelings and bringing Becky back to my parents' home was also my decision.
I am deeply sorry to my wife and Becky.

Then, the comment I made about 'who I should apologise to'.
That was not meant for my wife, Becky, the fans and the people concerned.

I meant that for the people on the internet who were making cruel remarks. Everyday, thoughtless comments like 'Die' and 'Disappear' appeared on Becky's as well as my SNS. I couldn't stand it anymore.

But there was nowhere for me to say that, and I was not in a position to even say it. In the end, more misunderstanding was caused. I regret my childishness.

And, why did Becky cease all activities while I did not?
There is no other reason besides there are fans waiting. I could not betray the people who came to listen to the music.  It may look like I'm just glossing over the matter, but there's nothing more I wanted than singing what my members and I have created. It may be selfish of me but that is the reason.
I was mulling over what I could say when 'Ryouseibai' album came out but there was nothing else for me to do but that. For fans to enjoy themselves, that is the most important, and that thought has not changed.

I had an affair with Becky and tormented my wife with my betrayal. Furthermore, I caused a lot of trouble to the members, staff, the people concerned, my fans and Becky's fans. I am truly sorry.

For what I have written, and in this timing, I am sorry.

From now on, we will face the fans fully with our music, indigo la End, Gesu no Kiwami Otome. Together we will do our best. Thank you.

Yoshino's comment below.

********************

Someone who doesn't know about music is getting started in it.
Music beginner. First year music student. Music freshman.

Through the work I have done to this day,
little by little, my interest in music grew.

Will I be able to show myself when I'm not playing a character?
What can I express through music?
What can I convey to everyone?

I am grateful to Kiramune which has lend me its strength so I can start on my music.

Thank you very much.
Sing. I will sing.
I am inexperienced but I look forward to it.

It's not a joke that I'm releasing a CD.
It's coming out.
It's a mystery how it will turn out but
it will be out.
With enthusiasm

Yoshino Hiroyuki

HY to hold special Leap Day Event

5-member band HY will hold a live performance 'HY’s PARADE ～Leap Day “4年に一度の”Premium LIVE～' at Shibuya's Space Shower TV The Diner on 29th February. The event is a special tribute to their hit song '366 Nichi' which was the theme song for the drama and subsequently movie version of 'Akai Ito' which starred Mizobata Junpei and Minamisawa Nao.

Akai Ito was composed by member Nakasone Izumi, as a heart-rending love song to paint emotions which cannot be contained in a mere 365 days. In a message to fans about the live, she said, "For you who are in love, for you who has just ended a love, and for you who will fall in love, there will always be unspoken feelings you wish to convey to someone. On this day, for '366 Nichi', why don't you send out those feelings to someone precious to you?"

The event is limited to 366 people who have experienced 'a broken heart'. Tickets cost 3660 yen apiece, which includes the live performance and dinner and can be obtained from the official site through a lottery. The event will also be streamed on Nico Nico Live.
