2008/05/18＊Chihiro
『You were wrapped in a bamboo mat, thrown in a river and drowned?』
Long time no talk.
Feeling the maternity blues lately, this is Chihiro.
Once upon a time… Something that happened a long, long time ago～
It was the hot summer of 2005.
Yokohama, the outskirts of Chinatown…
At the first ever 9mm band meeting, we were planning our first show.
After cleaning the room, the members put together this text at that very meeting.
I felt nostalgic, so it’s time I publish it.
Well, we gave up on using it though…

2005 AD, August 1st.
On this day, the end of the first era of the century is upon us…
～Our future together is aflame～
The people who are running about, trying to escape.
The Peking duck getting nuked.
The century egg fluttering about.
The chop suey going mad.
The Chinese manjuu that was to never again have steam rising from it.
From the park of Yokohama that has been reduced to rubble,
the Hikawa Maru is now departing on its last voyage.
The 20th Kanagawa Shinbun fireworks display vs. 9mm Parabellum Bullet.
Just who puts on the bigger festival?
It’s up to the men and women to decide on the summer’s greatest showdown.
In the end,
who will be able to draw in the most people?
On this day, come over and witness the shocking conclusion.
—————————————————
Now, as for the number of visitors. According to the results of the tally — it was by a narrow margin — the fireworks display had the upper hand.
There was variation of a mere 25 thousand in the number of attendees.
Everyone, it’s best to know your place.
There’s a time and place for everything…
Be careful.
