「The day after GG08」

Tonight was a really fun and stimulating night. It feels like SOIL & PIMPSESSIONS, Qomolangma Tomato and 9mm Parabellum Bullet were all drawing inspiration from each other for their respective shows. As everyone got on stage, they were saying how they felt energized thanks to the other two bands. I think it helped create a tremendous atmosphere. Motonaru from SOIL was saying how “it’s been a while since I last saw an audience as sweaty as me.” Indeed, the total amount of sweat produced last night was quite something. Every band was completely drenched afterwards, not to mention the stage floor. You could call yesterday a contest between different schools — 9mm, who were there as guests, and SOIL — but also the opposite of that as well. Above all, the presence of friends from another band made everyone excited, or rather, we strongly felt the appeal of having another band playing alongside us (on a sidenote, that also happens on 9mm’s tours as well). And for giving us that opportunity and arranging the event, I’d like to express my gratitude to George and M-ON TV once more. Thank you. The event itself will still continue tomorrow and the day after! George’s awesome!

After our show, we went drinking and had an awesome time with the members of Chomo, Taki, Kazuhiko and the staff. The whole time was spent laughing at utterances I can’t write down here (due to the excessive dirty stories, inside jokes and other indecency that comes with partying). I do however have an example documenting just that on my cellphone, which I’ll now be publishing here. I don’t know if you can spot them. They’re hanging there.
