It’s truly the first time seeing an audience on the first of January after the sunrise I think it’ll be a good thing to spend New Year’s day with all the audience and we are looking forward to it

In 2009, my closest goal is to make through what is front of me, the musical “Shinshun Takizawa Kakumei” with the same members (till the end) without any injury If the result comes out good, then it’ll be a good start

This year starts from solo activity, but I want to cherish the thing that I can only do in the unit and the time for unit activity too of course For that reason too, from New Years day my first target is to make through this musical with fun together with Nishikiori-san and all the co-performers and Juniors
