Again, we are very sorry that we have to make a disappointing announcement.
I think the fans who look forward to Hokkaido performance are disappointed but we are positively considering that we can perform again, so we hope you understand.

And another information.
This is a great announcement.
I think many already know this, but we received the Yoshikawa Eiji Literary Award for Newcomers. Clap clap
I received congratulations from lots of people.
My house smells like flowers. lol
I never been congratulated this much so I’m honestly happy, that I feel that I am able to give back a little to everyone who supported me.

I also had the cracker (party popper) being popped on the stage rehearsal hall, and I cracked the kusudama. lol
Here is the kusudama.

(Shige posted a photo of Alternate with a yellow obi indicating that the book is the recipient of Yoshikawa Eiji Literary Award, beside an opened kusudama laid down - kusudama is a ball-shaped decor for events, with a string that can be pulled so a banner would come out.)

And did you notice?
Alternate's obi.
This obi was made earlier by Shinchosa’s editor-in-chief on the day of the selection, hoping to win the award.
In other words, this is a special version, not an obi that is actually made. 
Only 10 books have this, it seems to be an illusion obi. 
I thought about what should we do if I didn’t win the award (I might also think that during Naoki Prize...) but I'm glad that I was able to see that day (of winning).

Nonetheless, Kato Shigeaki hasn't changed at all so please continue to support me.
Well then, I'm going to Modern Boys rehearsal today!
