Did flyering for the WENDY and I SEE ORANGE show outside of MWAM’s show tonight, and it felt just like the old days! Meetings music fans face-to-face and telling them about music you think is cool. It’s truly the best.

Thanks to everyone that took a flyer and had a chat about music! 🎶

Seeing his face on the GazettE’s poster at Japan Matsuri in London at the weekend made me a bit emotional tbh, especially with fans pointing at him and sharing their stories with me.

One of my biggest regrets in life was sitting next to REITA and being too starstruck to speak to him. I think about that moment a lot. Because of the regret I felt I always make sure to push myself a little further than usual when feeling anxious or out of my comfort zone.

Honestly, usually we are not this involved, so it’s difficult to really FEEL the impact a group is having. We’re so thankful that WACK trusted us to make this all happen. Next stop: the finale at The Underworld, Camden - see you there!

JPU Records 💿 @jpurecords.com · 16d

Trafalgar Square, Bristol and Manchester have been so fun! Thank you to everyone that’s joined in on the ASP adventure so far! This tour has really opened our eyes to the potential WACK and ASP has overseas, we’re so grateful they chose us to coordinate everything and be with them at each step.

🇺🇸 America! We’re back, baby! All orders include duties at checkout, so you don’t have to pay a penny extra when it arrives! It works out like an extra £1 a CD, which still means your CDs from us are cheaper than the UK and EU because we’re not charging you tax. 🙌
