About our situation.
As everyone might know, today's performance at Aomori QUARTER and the 2 days in Sapporo PENNYLANE have been postponed.
First of all, I'm sorry for this late report. I was myself a little shaken too,
and we, members and staff, discussed as much as we could, exchanging our opinions about what we should do.
Where should I begin...
Everyone has been worried, so the diagnostic that was given today about Tora's condition is spinal disk hernia,
so it seems that he has lost all sensations from his neck down to his left hand, and his left hand only has been getting cold to the touch.
It's also been difficult for him to sleep as he's been standing up all night, so he hadn't slept since the performance in Sendai two days ago.
Of course, we were aware of Tora's injury since right after the live,
but at that time, we had no idea about the severity of his current condition,
We, including Tora, were positive about this situation, and since he went to get temporarily treated, we were confident that we would be able to carry out the live.
However, Tora returned from the hospital this afternoon, and since there was nothing they could do to treat it and there are risks of paralysis and the like if he keeps on doing more than he can endure, we had a discussion with our staff,
and at the last moment, it was unfortunately decided that the show would be postponed.
I apologize sincerely for all the trouble and worry this is causing.
Especially to those who had been waiting in the snow since this morning, and everyone else who had come to QUARTER eager to see a live, I think there were also people who had come from far away. The same thing goes to those who've been waiting for us in Sapporo...
Honestly, everything was set up and we were waiting with our make up on, and I wish I had been able to tell you this directly.
But since there were some inconsistency such as not having much details, we left everything up to our staff and we weren't able to go on stage.
I believe we'll change the date of the performances and meet all of you again... but this is all we can do at the moment, and I would be lying if I said we were't completely mortified,
But if you saw the worn-out appearance of Tora who has continued to play guitar, even though he has been suffering from chronic back pain, even though the painkillers he's been taking since his neck started to hurt last summer have already stopped working,
More than anything else, we're just trying to think of the well-being of one of our members, of someone who's important to us.
At the moment, he's doing his best to try to heal, but as far as the tour is concerned, we don't know yet if we'll be able to continue or not.
But, definitely, we'll do our best so that the 5 of us can soon appear in front of everyone in the best of our condition, even if just for one day.
Right now, I'll myself keep praying for Tora's recovery, and we'll make great efforts to make everyone's worry disappear soon, even if only a little.
Also, to those who came today, thank you truly. And sorry as well.

To everyone... sorry it's so late in the evening
To all of those who'd been looking forward to see us, I'm sorry.
I think there are a lot of people who already know this but today (the date has probably already changed though)'s performance at Aomori QUARTER as well as the 2 days at Sapporo PENNYLANE have been postponed.
I've also received a lot of messages of concern for Tora.
Tora's chronic disease has degraded, but after the performance in Sendai, his neck had been hurting since we arrived in Aomori and today too, he went to the hospital so we went to the venue...
Since we intended to carry out the live, everyone moved in, but he couldn't even hold his guitar and the painkillers weren't effective...
According to the doctor's diagnosis, if he continues to do the impossible we're afraid he might become paralysed, and as a result of a discussion between the members and the staff, we gave everyone a late notice, so I'm deeply sorry for all the trouble and worry we have caused you.
I knew Tora was taking painkiller drugs.
But since he always seems cool and composed, I truly thought he was doing alright...
I didn't think his condition was that bad.
I feel sorry that we hadn't noticed it sooner.
After this, we'll do our best to stand on stage soon...
and show everyone the 5 of us looking healthy, when Tora has recovered.
To all of those who'd been waiting for us, I'm truly sorry.

To all of our important fans
I think everyone knows it already, but the performances at Aomori QUARTER and the 2 days at Sapporo PENNYLANE24 have been postponed.
I'm sorry to all the fans who'd been truly, truly looking forward to do this live, to those who had surely made various arrangement, and those who had gathered there from various places.
This is honestly the first time such a thing has happenned since the band started, and there are various things troubling me at the moment.
Moreover, I think those who gathered at the venue today and those who knew about this are troubled too.
Everyone's been worried about Tora-shi's medical condition, but in addition to the original hernia, because he hurt his neck during last summer's tour, the condition of his cervical hernia has started to degrade to the point where his hand is getting numb and he can't hold his guitar.
We won't know how long these symptoms will last or what sort of treatment will make him feel better until he returns to Tokyo for a more thorough examination.
Tora himself always seemed cool at first sight, but because he truly loves music, because he truly loves alicenine. as well as all of our fans, I think he's done his best to continue until now.
Tora-shi truly fought until the end with the members and the staff to be able to do this live, but on doctor's orders, since he's more important than anything else to alice nine, since it's something that might affect his whole life, he had no choice but to stop..
I play guitar too, and there's nothing I fear as much as not to be able to move my hands freely.
Also, for someone who truly likes music, his band, playing guitar, doing lives and all of those who've gathered with us, it's truly a harsh decision.
Also, to all of those who had gathered there today and wanted the remaining members to come out and talk to you directly, because of various circumstances and the contradictions they caused, we decided that if we couldn't go on stage all 5 of us together, we wouldn't go out at all, and thus let the staff go on stage instead of us.
No matter what I say now, it might sound like I'm glossing over,
but even though there are people who'd been looking forward to this day, to this tour, people who'd worked hard to get a ticket, people who had made plans for this day how many days, how many weeks in advance, people who had come from far away, people who'd been waiting since early in the day, I think there are also people who weren't even able to come to this day.
We're truly truly sorry, but also thank you.
Also, until we know more about his condition, we don't know if we'll be able to reschedule the performances or when and where the tour will resume.
Right now, we're truly praying for Tora-shi's recovery, and we'll do our best then for the live we weren't able to fulfill today, and well as to be able to fulfill the rest of the tour.
The five of us will unconditonally go back on stage.
We have the best of faith that the five of us will be able to appear in front of everyone soon, even if just for a bit, and we'll do our best to erase the worry of those who're concerned right now.
We'll keep you update on these blogs or on the HP as soon as we learn more about the situation.
To the staff who've been working with us from early in the day until late in order to make this a great tour, to the office's staff,
as well as all the fans who'd been looking forward to this tour more than anything else, who're worried,
thank you truly. And also sorry.
All of the members are doing their best, and we'll be working hard in order to be able to resume touring once again.
damn, it made me so sad .. really hope Tora will be ok soon !

I just found out about it. I hope he is going to be ok. And to think he might be paralyzed.
According to blog posts by each member of alice nine., several of their upcoming lives have been postponed, with no knowledge as to if and when they will be able to proceed with them due to an injury sustained by guitarist, Tora. A cervical disk hernia in Tora's neck, which has been causing pain and numbness down his left arm, has ridden him unable to even hold his guitar. They are unsure what types of treatments he may have to undergo, but plan on keeping their fans updated once a full examination of Tora's condition is performed. They also ask for their fans' continued support and prayers. _________________

Were you on the english one or not? I think something is wrong with the English one because when I went to the Japanese one I got there instantly and it was easy. _________________
