The band finished their first live in Kyoto without incident.
Ah, and MOJO sure has a nice mascot, no?
Tomorrow it’s the Osaka DROP★
Our best regards m(__)m

『The hydrangea have bloomed』
On a casual trip.
Me and Kazu we went to Kyoto and Osaka, visiting CD shops to scribble messages and going on radio shows to chatter restlessly. Went did an evening open exhibit live broadcast over the radio. I was really happy to see so many people there. That was really embarrassing though, I was even closer to the window than Kazu.
I think everyone who came is already asleep by now. I think it’s time for me to lay my futon down as well.
Tomorrow we have our first show of the second leg of the tour at the Kyoto MOJO.
With that, good night.
This was Takuro.

We’ve finished the open to the public live radio broadcast.
Thank you very much to everyone who came or listened to it.

“The World tour” has now circled back to Tokyo where the band already played their show. 9mm Parabellum Bullet are now departing on the second half of the tour. Everyone, please support them all the way until the final. The movie’s now started, too, so those of you who are itching to come to 9mm’s shows but can not, we’d be happy if you watched it.¹
Takuro and Kazu are hanging about in Kansai today. Starting from 20 o’clock, they’ll be appearing on an open to the public live broadcast on satellite radio from inside the Tower Records Marubiru store.
For now, they’re eating takoyaki… that’s their nutrition supply.
¹ Again, I’m guessing this was some sort of a promo site for the album/tour.

『Praising it’s deep, vivid blueness. －－－ Yes, Brassica rapa.』
In this early summer weather, I wonder if you are all spending your time pleasantly.
If I am called by my name, I’ll fly right over. I am Chihiro.
“Could I actually be a country bumpkin?”
I already know the answer without even having to ask myself.
I’m from the genuine countryside of Nagano.
Along those lines is what I was thinking as we played at Nagano LIVE HOUSE J.
Fufu. It’s a nostalgic place for me.
I’d only played here once before, 10 years yearlier.
If I’m not mistaken, I think I remember it being a terrible show.
I certainly didn’t expect it was my destiny to come to this place again like this…
Truly, the live show of man can be a thing of terrible misfortune.
Though I wasn’t exactly as calm as I could’ve been, being busy falling in and out of flashbacks of my past nightmares, I did my best anyway.
…
Wow,
Takuro, your hair’s a mess and your head’s huge.
Aah,
Kazuhiko, your mic’s too low, you’ll break your back.
Ooh,
Taki, doing his captivating dance without his guitar.
Next to me was some boy unknown to me, playing Taki’s guitar. Yeah.
It was cool.
My drumming was completely hopeless due to Taki’s disruptive behavior.
…
After enduring and putting up with these hardships of the past for 10 years
I was finally able to close the books on the matter.
Aah, Brassica rapa’s deliciooous.
There’s nothing better than eating them cooked in oil.
Mmmmm, yes.

『Yes!』
Hello, it’s Kazuhiko.
We played our show in Niigata and are now heading over to Kamijou’s parents’ house.
We have a show in Nagano tomorrow.
I’m feeling really sleepy after the live. I feel sorry for the people who have to drive.
I caught a splendid cold in Hokkaido so I’ll think I’ll rest up and fight it off with all my power in Nagano. With all my power.
I want to eat oyaki.
Now then, goodbye.
Sorry this wasn’t very long.
2007/06/08＊21:15＊Taki
『Even if you catch a cold, food still tastes delicious』
It’s Taki.
Right now we’re on a ferry headed to Sapporo. We spent a few days over at Nakamura’s house, but I didn’t have such a great time as I’d ended up catching a cold. I have a cough and a really runny nose.
It’s my first time on a ferry. There were lots of instances of someone yelling “I can see an ocean sunfish!” or “There’s a huge medusa!” but I couldn’t see absolutely anything which sucked. On top of that, I was coughing and had a constant runny nose.
The sea at night is completely pitch black. If you keep staring at it, it feels like it might suck you in. In a thick fog, you can’t tell where the sea begins and ends, so it feels like the air and sea form a great universe. Leaving behind us a white trace, it feels like the ship is a comet within that universe. And then finally I, too, being able to wait no longer, become part of the universe.
(The history of the universe is kind of long, so I’ll abbreviate)
Eventually, we see lights approaching us from a distance. Sipping back in the snot about to drip from my nose, I’ve returned from the universe as Taki. And I’m still coughing a lot.
This was Taki.

『Your blood is red, you bastard!!』
Yes Sir. This is Chihiro.
We had a show in Sendai today. This is just my personal opinion, but I thought the town was full of beautiful girls. But we’ll keep that between you and me.
After our show, we were at an izakaya holding a proper closing for the evening. Bacchus, the god of alcohol, descended upon us and possessed me, so I drank violently. Theeere, there there. Please do your best, dear liver of mine.
We’re now around 1/4 through the tour and everyone has wounds all over their bodies.
I’m hurting all over from muscle pain. (Attachment: two rascals plotting the restoration of their physical strength.)
And I freakin’ hate milk acid.
I thought I’d write this blog as Yamada (manager #1) is getting angry at us for getting dead drunk to the point of nausea, but I just can’t seem to think of a good punch line to end it with.
Sorry. Too bad.
But, I’m the kind of kid that can probably get something done if I really put my mind to it.
From now on, too, I’d feel truly blessed if you’d continue to watch over me lukewarmly.
Complaining about this and that, just kill me already.
Until the day I’m revived back to life just let me lie dead, Takagi (manager #2).
With that, I’ll be making my entrance to the next world now.
Then, I shall be on my way.

『Noodles』
Hello, Kazuhiko here.
The real pleasure of touring and visiting different cities is eating the local foods. Due to various circumstances we haven’t really gotten the chance to do that on this tour. However, today we’re in Morioka and the chance has finally materialized for us to do just that.
Pictured here is the drummer eating reimen.
Basically right around after we’d formed 9mm, Kamijou treated us members to a mad feast he called “Reimen Party“. Ever since then, I’m always reminded of those times when it comes to reimen.
Ah man, those were good times.
Tomorrow we’re playing in my home town of Sendai. Seriously can’t wait. We’ll do our best.
2007/05/31＊00:15＊Takuro
『I’m OK』
Takuro here.
I sustained a little injury at Mito SONIC. After the live, I went to the the hospital, got treated, had my X-ray taken and I’m alright now. Sorry to have made you worry.
Right now the 9mm team is commuting to our next location.
The tour is going on as planned and we’re playing Takasaki tomorrow!! Wait for us!!
Lastly, thank you to everyone who came today.
It was a great evening.
Well then, talk to you later!!
