『According to rumors, he’s a 9mm’er (lie)』
The 9mm Day “Chaos no Hyakunen vol.5” ended without incident.
In the staff blogs uploaded yesterday, it suddenly warped from the signboard being finished to the backstage when the show was already over. That leaves a definite hole in time, so let’s shed some light on the events that took place for those of you who weren’t able to attend. I’ll write down my memories of yesterday.
Firstly, the secret guests in question were the comedians Dienoji, who brought along with them the young comedians Genkis, Penguin Nut and Long Hair!! I’m sure you all know them, right. Since it’s a big festival, we had to have everyone laughing, right! Us in the band didn’t get to say a thing! Nhahaha. Yes, we got them to do our intros as well as all the MC’s between songs. Ah man, it was really, really funny all the way through. Our show supposedly lasted close to two hours, but it felt like five minutes to us. It’s been a while since we’d played a live house of that size, too, so that aspect of it was fun, too. The audience was really close. All the venues on the tour, too, are like that. Very good, very good.
The comedians joined our wrap-up party, all high and mighty. You take your eyes off them for a second and they start telling jokes. Hey, wasn’t this supposed to be 9mm’s party? There was even a beach parasol at La.mama (the owner’s hobby apparently). After receiving lots of alcohol from several sources (shochu, nihonshu, wine, everything), we drank all of them in succession yesterday. Thanks to everyone who joined us in getting smashed.
Today I slept until afternoon and in the evening I received seitai, acupuncture, massage, the full course. There’s nothing more to say. Starting from tomorrow, we’ll be again heading towards our next show. I’ve been writing this while listening to the new album from SOIL, the band we’re playing with on the 17th. I can’t wait. Chomo’s going to be there, too, so there’s no doubt of it being a good show.
With that, see you at the next show.
