『We merrily made lots of holes』
Good evening.
We woke up early today to head to our PV shoot. Everyone’s in high spirits with the album coming out soon. The director was again Mr. Shimada, also responsible for “The World” and “Discommunication”. The feel of the clip is kind of strange. It kind of feels nostalgic in a way.
The title will leak soon, but it’s still a secret for now. We made the PV somewhere where you can see a ferris wheel. It was a fun shoot with some getting all hot-blooded whereas others were trying to have a cool expression in their eyes which was deemed no good (me).
Anxiously awaiting for it to be finished!! But we only just shot it today, gahaha. The tour’s about to start, too.
The shoot ended at sundown. Everyone did good work all the way from dawn. I’m exhausted.
Now then, our explosive tour reports are going to start appearing from next weekend (hopefully)! I have high expectations!!

『Unreasonably excited』
Oh! There’s the cover art of our album there swirling next to this sentence!!¹ “What’s with the design of that thing?” is what many of you might be thinking, but it’ll all be clear when you get your copy and take a look at it, so patience, please!
We’ve been invited to Hanamatsu tomorrow by ELLEGARDEN so we’ll be heading over to put on a proper show!! I’m excited as it’s been a while since our last one in Hanamatsu.
With that, later.
This was Takuro……!!!

『Trimmed, feeling refreshed.』
Hello, it’s Kazu Nakamura.
For some reason, it seems “Discommunication e.p” is selling very well and and debuted at 9th place on the Oricon Weekly Charts. Amazing. I feel grateful. I’m really happy.
It’s gotten cold.
The other day I took out the kotatsu, but I still haven’t plugged it in yet.
I have an interview for a bass magazine tomorrow. Feeling nervous since I’m going solo.
Wonder if it’ll be cold tomorrow, too.
Though I was born in Tohoku, I’m still weak against the cold.
Thank you, this was Kazu Nakamura.

『That guy’s shake from Mac D’s』
It was a great night yesterday. It was long but I really enjoyed myself. I’d like to do that kind of an event throughout Japan. Come to think of it, there is a tour like that at the end of the month. It’s featuring comparatively rather young people. Hope it’s fun.
I’m listening a lot to this CD by a band called “badun” that I bought the other day. Also, M.I.A. is the best.
Later.

『The reason women wear clothes is for the purpose of then being able to undress them (George Moore)』
I’m embarrassed for staying silent so long.
A rascal in love, this is Chihiro.
The other day on 10/10 our lovely musical composition…
“Deathcommunication” was it?
“Communication desu” was it?
I don’t know what it was, but it was released.
To everyone who bought a copy, I extend my gratitude.
Thanks to you, due to some error, it got to 4th place on the Oricon Single Daily Chart (on 2007/10/12).
I’m sorry. We’re to blame for the situation having gotten this grave.
“These bastards, they raped Oricon!”
Please don’t say anything like that. I hate things like rape.
…And like that, the members along with the staff have an agenda of destroying Oricon.
Nah, we’re actually really delighted.
It stands as the result of slaughtering who knows how many hardships.
The leading force behind making this possible, one of our fans sent me this.
It’s ginseng all the way from Goryeo (refer to attached picture).
This guy’s delicious, faintly sweet and good for recovering from fatigue.
At first it has the taste of ginseng, followed by a lovely mandrake-ish finish.
I’m drinking it habitually.
To the mother of a high school 2nd grader (Ms. C.K.), thank you very muhh (sic).
That’s the same initials as me. Sorry for ripping you off.
And so, since my urinary bladder has gotten fat from drinking too much tea,
I’ll be heading to the toilet to fire away.
Keeping you company,
the one from 9mm who must single-handedly carry the burden of delivering all the dirty jokes,
the heroic Chihiro.

『We’re currently offering this product for a special, fated 9mm price!!』
Good evening.
9mm are currently busy talking and talking more about their album that’s to be released next month. In interviews, that is. I think they’ll eventually be featured in magazines or TV or comedy shows. Looking forward to seeing if it’ll benefit the album.
As mentioned previously, we safely had our major debut on 10/10. The mother and the child are both fine. It was a splendid, easy childbirth of four healthy boys (who were already adults at birth).
Thanks to the crazy displays as well as all the staffers’ hard work at all the CD shops, “Discommunication e.p.” is selling like hotcakes! There are reports of it being sold-out all over (lie)!! We’re hearing a barrage of pros and cons (?) on it everywhere. Really, thanks everyone.
“It’s okay if he can’t do well with his studies, as long as we just raise him properly……” is what I’ll keep reminding myself of as we do our best.
It all starts here.
The day after tomorrow it’s party time at Liquid Room!!
