Translation: Letter from Ko-ki's mother

Here is the translation of letter from Ko-ki's mother in DVD 「Pieces of Smile」. View translation for letter from Reno's mother.

Nya~ Ko-ki! (I think should be "Dear Ko-ki")

Isn't today 2012 January? It’s the Nippon Budokan you've always dreamed of.It has become the most special day which we both will never forget. Only that, i couldn't form any words at this inexpressible feeling.

Thank you very much!

It's been hard on you!

ViViD's Massage Trip in Taiwan

During their tour in Taiwan, they went for foot massage. Here are the pictures crop from the scans in ViViD First Artist Book 「Pieces」.

Ko-ki is screaming! It must be very painful. イヴ looks enjoyed, like a big boss(laugh).

Translation: Letter from Reno's mom

View translation for letter from Ko-ki's mother.

To my dear son,

Congratulations, you've finally got to perform on the Budokan of your dream.

All thanks to being with such wonderful members, the company and supporting fans, you were able to come this far,
Thank you very much, this feeling is filled with grattitude


I remember

Time when you believed in yourself, insisted on playing guitar

Time when you was doing part-time job and drummer Ko-ki came to invite you along

When vocalist Shin became a member and you all got in PSC

[..] I'm truly delightful and happy
