Moving~

Exactly!

I will finally leave blogger. It really sucks... xD
If you have the money (to install a full customizable copy), and time, I think the best option is by far wordpress.

If not. I think it is tumblr.
It has a couple of things that could be improved (search engine please!) But all in all, it beats blogger in terms of... I don't know I just hate blogger xD

So please, if you are subscribed through blogger, remember to check in about a week from now and subscribe again!

Same if you are subscribed through RSS. I'm afraid after the change all the subscriptions will be lost so please make sure to come back and subscribe again >__<

The new website will have an improved layout and it will be easier for you to leave feedback using any platform you like (facebook, twitter, etc)

That's all for now!

Laugh Away

This was a request from aaron and dso



Once again Illustrator, trying a photographic approach. It's more time consuming, but doesn't require much creativity... just copy what you see... :S
It took several weeks!! DX
I was later playing with the colors to make something fun / interesting / crazy, but it's not really working... aah need more color expertice.

Is this from Laugh Away promo pictures right?
Uhmm It looks like they made three different photoshoots for I LOVED YESTERDAY
This, with the sky background, the box and the truck~
I really love the truck pictures, but YUI looks a little different from usual on those.

Do you have any requests?
PV screenshots would be fun. (HD screenshots please xD )


I'm currently working on a new strip. Really! xD
Please wait a little longer  >_<

Sigh... blogger updated it's entry box and now it's even worse than before lol..
They are doing a very good job with google+ I wonder why not putting a couple of thinking heads on blogger as well? xD

YUI and YUPI

I think I made a drawing called like this before.. xD




This was a request made by blackdog, and it took me a lot of time!
...and it is very different from what he requested .. SORRY! >_<¡

I accept more vector requests, but you should know I always take requests as starting points and the outcome will be very different from what you have in mind... actually this drawing is very different from what I had in mind xD

hope you like it~

"HELLO cloud" was made by Gotchi! Thanks! and... I'm so envy T___T

Now i will definitely try to continue YUPI's comic.

Why is YUI and YUPI's hair blue? I have no idea xD

RE: Yusuke

Everybody were really happy and grateful for Yusuke's kindness towards us. Being a person so close to YUI, you would expect him to be more distant when it comes to interact with fans.

But we were surprised when he showed himself so concerned about our birthday present to YUI.
I was almost completely sure the present got lost after the earthquake's confussion. Even Hisashi -who even talked about last year's present in his radio show- wouldn't reply our messages, so I was about to give up on the subject. But since I have always distrusted Icchy, I had to find a way around him to confirm the present's whereabouts.

The timing was perfect. Icchy was in Hong Kong making arrangements for the -at that time yet unknown- concert YUI will hold this month over there. And I recalled a contact email in honeybee's website. I wasn't sure, but I had the feeling that it would be Yusuke the person in charge of dealing with those emails. So I gave it a try.

The next step wouldn't had been possible without the help of azmikun and hirotana. Yusuke must have tought: "This gaijin can really speak japanese!" But no. The brightest side of globalism made this possible. When I was sleeping, these guys were translating my messages with Yusuke back and forth. Thank you!

Finally, the present "appeared", and a couple of days after, YUI was holding our CD in her hands for everyone to see.

After the raffle in aid to Japan, PWRTSM and MrSean won the two copies we put up for the contest, and Panda decided to give his copy to Yusuke in gratitude to his effort.

I don't remember if it was my idea or someone else's, but I thought it would be nice if I included a little cartonish portrait along with the CD. So I made this drawing:



And I didn't sign it, on purpose. I'm still affraid that any kind of info related to me or to YUPI-Locks will automatically be banned from being published. But I'm 100% okay with that.

Gotchi later wrote a letter -again, trasnlated by hirotana- explaining Yusuke the reason of this present to him and also telling him we raised money for Japan.
And the package was sent...


いただきました！
I got it!

会社に行くと・・・
When I came to the office...

以前「海外から」YUIさん＆e.u.Bandへ届いたプレゼントが僕の元にも！！！
The present "from overseas" that was given to YUI & e.u.Band was given to me too!!

何でもメンバーに無事に届けてくれたお礼の意味を込めて送ってくれたそうです。
I think they wanted to express their gratitude for helping them to deliver the present.

わざわざ似顔絵までありがとうございます！
Also thank you for the special portrait!

たくさんの方々に支えられていることを改めて実感しています。
Once again I feel that I'm able to help a lot of people. (not sure)

いつも応援ありがとうございます。
Thank you always for supporting us.

This is actually the first time one of my "YUPI style drawings" appear on a YUI related website.
I wonder how far can I push this?
If I put a little www.yupi-locks.com on one corner, would have Yusuke still shown the drawing?

YUPI and Kikino Travel!

I decided to make a new version of YUPI conmemorating YUI's concert in Hong Kong. This time I used my favorite look from HELLO MV. Rocker YUI with fake bangs ♪

G.C also asked me to make a paper Kikino, so I could join YUI-Lover members somehow ;__;
Did she ask for it or was my idea? ...can't remember xP
I'm wearing YUI-Lover t-shirt... that has not been printed yet!! ...anyway:



This is just a sample! It's not meant for printing.

Take me and YUPI to Hong Kong!! >o<
