01.2008 - Message from Fu-ki and Kaede

Greeting
"I've really been helped out by lot of people again this year. There are always people who help us when we go overseas by doing things we can't do ourselves, and I think it's because of them that our lives have been successful. And of course I'm truly thankful to our fans. Thanks for this past year. I'll do my best again this year to repay you all through our works and performances. So, everyone, have a great year."
Fu-ki.

New Year
"Happy New Year. I had a lot of help from a lot of people in the past year, and I'm grateful to all of them. I'll do my best to return the favor this year."
Kaede.
