Hello, this is Kazuhiko Nakamura. Long time no see.

Yesterday, I went to see an event called HIGH LINE NIGHT at Shimokitazawa QUE. I had a really funny experience there.

After the show, I was hanging about back in the corner. A woman approached me and said “Um, may I shake your hand?” OGRE YOU ASSHOLE and People In The Box were playing that night, both bands that 9mm has connections to, so getting someone approach me like that wouldn’t be out of the question. I shook her hand, then just to make sure, I asked her. “Do you know who I am?” And so she answered me. “Ummm, OGRE’s……“

Wha–, whaaaat!!!!!!! Was she mistaking me for Deto¹ or something!? So, I calmly replied to her. “Wrong.” Following that, it somehow got really embarrassing for me and I left without saying my name. In other words, I never told the woman I’m the bassist of 9mm.

Well, it seems that woman came there with one of the people organizing HIGH LINE and she seemed to have later realized who I was. That’s good. Afterwards, when I told this story to Deto, he told me he’d just recently been reading a magazine where he mistook a picture of me as himself. Hmm, do we really look that much alike?

Everyone, be careful when calling out to artists.

This was Kazuhiko Nakamura.

¹ Vocalist/guitarist of OGRE YOU ASSHOLE
