『”Mori no Kokage de Cool Biz“¹ by Korpi』
(Attachment: the maestro, me and alcohol)
Aaaahhh… I understand time must go on, but don’t you think it’s doing so just a liiittle bit too fast? Just a while ago we were on tour and now we’re already busy with recording. Once in a while I want to go on some Southern island, forget about time and just take it easy. Oh dear. Such a precocious child, this is Chihiro.
For the time being, just remove the time axis from my space-time continuum, Mr. Albert=Einstein. Huh? It’s impossible? Actually I was just thinking the same myself. Looks like you and me are gonna get along.
At the wrap-up party for our tour finale, I was able to spend time with the great maestro of drumming Makoto Takahashi who played in one BOΦWY. He was too kind. “I-I, the first thing I ever tried covering on the drums was the intro to B・BLUE!! That snare attack, it was seriously, seriously the best!!” After telling him that, he profoundly, gently nodded his head several times while patting me on the shoulder, and said “Ahhh, that one… yep, I really banged hard on those drums that time!!!!” Yaaaay♪♪ Heh hee～☆
Next to him, the current president and former director of Capitol, Mr. J.K, was saying “Yep. Mm-hmm. You were really banging on them that time. Mm-hmm.” while recalling their past memories. According to Mr. Takahashi: “Hotei would tell me that I didn’t need to play during certain parts.” Mr. Hotei… as expected. I wish I shared the same luck as Mr. Takahashi.
I was moved by the exchange of stories and got utterly smashed from the alcohol we were having, and so I shouted out “This is the best. I wouldn’t mind to just be completely erased by a harsh wind at this point!! So you couldn’t even hear my last words!!” …Or, well, that’s what Takuro told me the day after anyway. That’s the kind of party it was.
Oh. The recordings are going all right. I guess I should say something like “I ask that you look forward to it” while looking cool. But, as I thought, that does seem like I’m being self-important which I don’t like… so I guess saying “well… look forward to it I guess?” would look more modest and thus better. This just goes to show I’m a weakling full of vanity. Not having self-confidence is also uncool.
Ah well. Since I genuinely believe we created something good, I’ll proudly stand behind it.
Wait for iiit.
