Tomorrow is M-Station day!

Today I got my hair cut!
OK, who wants this ball of my hair? I’ll draw names out of a hat.

Just kidding! *lol*

Otsukare-chan!

The live is over!

I had so much fun~
Lives are great.

Otsukare-chan is his cute play on “otsukare-sama”, a set phrase used at the end of work.

Today, I’m rehearsing for the live!

I just got hold of the samples of my new goods!
They’ll be for sale soon.

Hi everyone, it’s been a while.
How are you all doing?

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I decided to change my artist name to tetsuya (TETSUYA).

I have several reasons for doing this, and maybe I’ll decide to explain them someday.

(Picture of a rack containing three of his basses)

I’m at the studio! Why could that be?

As of December 1, 2009, the subject of this site is known as tetsuya (for L’Arc~en~Ciel work) or TETSUYA (for his solo work).

This site will reflect his wishes.

The translator’s policy is to preserve his name as it was at the time of an item’s publication. Consequently, new translations of previously published material will still have him listed as tetsu/TETSU69.

Thank you for reading.
