???????
Konni-chihuahua!
??????????????????????
Maybe this isn’t the best way to start off the first diary of the new year?
????????????????
Happy New Year!
YUI???
It’s YUI.
?????????????TV??????????
The live broadcasts of Kouhaku and Countdown TV have ended without any problems
??????????????
and since the new year started, I’ve been sleeping the whole time.
????????????????
The town is quiet and there’s a dead silence about it.
8?????????????????????
I didn’t think that closing the door on 8 years worth of activities
??????????????????
would be this difficult of a thing to do.
???????????????????????????
The fact that it was a decision I made on my own started to put even more weight on my shoulders
???????????
and it felt like I was under a lot of pressure.
???????????????????????????
But I think that that’s a sign that I was able to have a happy and fun time
????????????????????????
thanks to the many people who supported me so much.
???????????????????
“I’m an artist, but I’m also human”
??????????????????
is something that I strongly felt after it seemed like my spirit was about to break.
?????????????????????
As humans, we have strong feelings as well as weak feelings.
??????????????????????
As we get older, and we forgive and are forgiven,
???????????
we become kinder and stronger people.
???????????????
And I thought very hard about things like that.
????????????????????
This may not be a very cheerful subject for the start of the new year
??????????????
but it’s a wall that I want to properly overcome,
??????????????????
and I want to write down all the feelings of gratitude that I have for all the people who have supported me
?????????????????????
as well as my feelings right now.
??????????????????????
It’s impossible to completely express people’s feelings in words.
?????????????????
But we are able to put the effort into trying to express them.
??????YUI???????????????????
Even after this, I, YUI, will always pray for everyone’s happiness.
???????????????????????????
Music will always be by your side in painful times, sad times, and happy times.
??????????????
I hope that music will always
??????????????????????????
continue to be that type of existence inside all of you.
???????????????????
And then, to all of you who were involved with me (and my music),
??????????????????
I really and truly thank you very much.
????????????????????????
I hope we can continue to have a positive outlook and do our best.
??????????????????????
If there is a chance for us to meet again, and the day for us to meet comes,
??????????????
let’s have fun together again!
2013??Happy????
Let’s be Happy-chan in 2013
??????????????????
May this be a year full of smiles for you.
???????????
Well then, adieu-year.
YUI
P.S.
????????????????????
I would like to very ca~sually update every once in a while ?
