Hi ~ It's nice to meet Buffalos from Latin America online. The video you made for Taiji's birthday was very nice and I'm sure Taiji loved it too! I translated Taiji's message into English for the Latin Buffalos..! But I'm afraid I'm not that good at English so there might be some mistakes. From his message, we could feel how much Taiji cares for us and I hope you could feel it too!

Before I start, I want to mention that Taiji jokes a lot in his message, so you should be careful understanding his words! kkkk (I don't want to misinterpret his intentions..!!) Words that I wrote in ' ( )' are additional explanation that I wrote for better understanding.

Oh and another thing..! Taiji held a small concert on his birthday, which started at 6 p.m., and he uploaded this message also at 6 p.m. as a present(?) for the fans that couldn't make it to the concert! He's so thoughtful, isn't he? :)

- Start~! -

It s my 44th birthday..!

Since it's my birthday~~ I should be free to say and do anything I want.

But for those of you who failed to get a ticket for today's concert, and who are reading this message right at this moment...

I want you to know that I feel so sorry..

So I thought that I could cheer you guys up with giving you a chance to see this Birthday message faster than anybody else! That is why I decided to upload this message right at the time when the concert starts.

Actually today's small concert has nothing special~~ (Taiji is just trying to cheer up the fans who couldn't make it to the concert. The small concert was actually a veerrrrry special event!!) You know what?! I didn't even get to have a birthday meal and I'm just busy WORKING on my birthday!!!! While you are reading this message comfortably at home, the 'Unlucky (about)500 people' will be jumping up and down in this dark, damp place..! Since it's hard for me to work on a day like this, I'm planning to make them reeeally exhausted! kkk So you don't need to envy these people :) (Taiji is still trying to cheer us up with these ridiculous, nonsense words!! He is so kind isn't he.. lol)

Ah ... this doesn't make you feel any better... right? ^^;;

Haha ~ Anyways.... I'm really thankful and happy for all your(T-Mania~) birthday greetings. Also I'm proud that our Manias are doing something very worthy(making Seotaiji Mania Forest) every year on my birthday. You guys are awesome!

My 9th album tour is almost coming to an end now..

During this tour, I prepared several small meetings(1. Inviting my fans to my house, 2. a small party, 3. today's small concert), because I wanted to meet my Manias, at a closer distance. I think we really did get closer to each other. Do you think so too ...? :)

I think we have got "this" close..!! (And Taiji shows how much "this" means with a short video)

(Just in case you don't know, Taiji calls us buffalos~~ T-Mania=Buffalo...! So in this video someone(maybe Taiji..? I don't know..) is having a close up look at a buffalo. Funny ~~ kkkkk )

But since I can't invite all~ of you to these small meetings, I guess it's hard to get closer with each one of you at the same time.. ;( I'm so sad..

But if we keep having these small meetings, I think everyone will get a chance someday. It might take some time because I'm too popular~~ but still, we'll meet somewhere someday, so don't be sad~~

Recently many fans strongly want our Seotaiji band's photo shoot.

Come to think of it, I didn't even take a new profile picture for my 9th album ..!! Hmmm.. It's not that I'm not confident with my looks.. But because I'm a Real rocker, I'll just concentrate ONLY on my music! (Taiji is just joking..kk ) Maybe I shouldn't take any more music videos either! kkkk (Taiji is still joking... :) lol!)

I have a question...! Does a photoshoot mean something like this??

< Two example photos of Seotaiji Band! > https //www.seotaiji.com/comm/freetalk/view/num/31486/page/1

Yes ..! Although you couldn't get the tickets for today's concert,

you got the chance to save these examples of Seotaiji Band's photoshoot faster than anyone! I think I am so kind ~~

Does this make you feel better now? :)

Let's meet you at the Quiet Night Encore concert Manias~~

Oh one last secret thing to tell you. In this upcoming Encore concert, the world's cutest? character might make a sudden appearance on stage! Prepare for it~

Then I'll see you guys next week~ Bye!

- The End -

We really hope to meet Latin Manias at Taiji's concert someday..! Thank you for reading!
