How have you all been?
This is Yurippe.
It has suddenly gotten cold, hasn't it? Managing your health can be difficult,
so please take care not to get sick.
When the hot weather continued,
I liked eating chilled things such as cold soup, cold pasta, and cold noodles,
but lately I have been going to teppanyaki restaurants
to warm myself up as well (laughs).
I went out for okonomiyaki the other day, too.
The soft, warm air rising from the hot plate
is wonderfully comforting.
By the way, I like modern-yaki best.
We have a fan-club event coming up this month.
Since this is a commemorative event for our tenth anniversary since debut,
we are planning all sorts of special things. I can't wait!
There is not much of the year left,
but we will keep going nonstop,
so please keep watching us!

GARNET CROW (vol.11)
word scope in m.f.Es

It has become thoroughly chilly, hasn't it? I wonder if winter will arrive all at once.
I bought a glue stick for the first time in ages. This is Nana AZUKI.
How many years has it been? The familiar standard design I remembered was nowhere to be found—perhaps it was just bad luck?
Every now and then, when I remember something I used to buy often, whether food or household goods,
and buy it again for the first time in a while, don't you get an indescribable little thrill?
And then, when the design has been renewed, there is a bittersweet… or rather, somehow lonely feeling.
Anyway, I bought that glue stick while lost in those thoughts, and I have been using it little by little late at night.
What am I doing, you ask? Making a scrapbook.
I looked at scrapbook notebooks when I bought the glue, but they were only so-so—not worth going out of my way to buy—
so the notebook is a used miscellany notebook I had lying around at home.
I cut out interesting things, things I want, photographs, and articles from magazines and flyers, then stick them in one by one… and it is fun!
It is fun to paste things in. It is fun to look back through them. Well, of course it is.
The notebook is packed with things I like and things that caught my attention. There is no way opening it would not make me excited.
As a result, if I happen to find an article I want to cut out at a hair salon,
I cannot exactly say, “Could I have this…,” so I end up running to a used-book store.
I originally started making the scrapbook to organize all the magazines and newspapers piled up with sticky notes everywhere.
In the end, they have not decreased at all—they decrease and increase, decrease and increase; I have only made the cycle faster.
Ah… I really cannot throw paper away.
All right. My goal for next year is to become someone who can throw things away!
Do not buy things I do not need!
And keep throwing things away!
