It’s already been four days since Summer Sonic.

Thank you to everyone who watched us play at Makuhari. You weren’t hurt or stricken by summer exhaustion, yes? I see. Let’s be careful.

As to what 9mm’s doing today, we’re visiting graves. I’m visiting the graves of the Taki family, Taki the graves of the Nakamura family, Kazuhiko the graves of the Kamijo family, Kamijo the graves of the Sugawara family. We shuffled it like that. Everyone’s ancestors will be confused!

Yes. What we really did is get out of bed early at 5 to start off on our commute towards a certain sand dune. As to what we’re going to do there, we’re using Pro Tools to touch up the vocals we recorded. I suspect there’s some among you who don’t know what Pro Tools is so just to explain it briefly, it’s a software for audio editing. You can use it to chop up songs, put them back together and edit things to the smallest detail that the human ear can’t even hear. We’ll be working with it to the point that everyone’s just going “That’s enough already, stop it. No one’s going to pay that much attention, they’ll never know. Let’s go back.” (or rather, that’s only the beginning). It’s going to be audio editing with everyone completely on edge. We’ll be doing micro-scale work in completely barren surroundings with absolutely nothing around us. I’m getting dizzy just thinking about it. Which is to be expected as it’s mid-summer.

Okay, fine. In reality we’re going to shoot a video for “Living Dying Message”. The director is the same Mr. Shimada who also did the videos for Termination! It’s also true that we’re going to a sand dune. I’ll upload a picture as proof later.

With that, let’s all be in high spirits today! We’ll be sleeping inside the bus until our arrival! Good night!
