「The beasts on the covers give the books a nice feel, right?」

Due to strange circumstances, I’m currently reading Osamu Tezuka’s “Buddha”. I’ve already read it who knows how many times, but it’s still interesting. Whether it’s sad things or painful things, happy things or fun things, there’s no stopping whatever’s coming our way. The release date of VAMPIRE is one of those things. We can’t stop any of it. As I was thinking “won’t it come out already～”, I realized its release is next week already. It’s approaching.

Yesterday before our rehearsal at the studio, I headed to the convenience store to buy things. Since I had some time to spare, I was reading there while standing when suddenly “Living Dying Message” came on. Since I go there pretty much daily, you’d think I’d have noticed the change in the rotation of songs. So, since I’m not at all accustomed to hearing our songs like that, I was caught completely off-guard (I wonder just how someone can get “used to” something like that) and so I just stood there astonished for a while. “Ahaha, I know this song. Wait, the man next to me reading Shounen Magazine, there’s no way he knows it’s me singing, right? He wouldn’t think it’s this guy frilly-headed guy next to him, reading Morning (I read a soccer manga called GIANT KILLING first. Unfortunately, I know nothing about soccer, but I do like the manga), right? Nhahaha.” That’s my easygoing way of getting excited as we’re getting closer to our upcoming release. Tomorrow we’re doing an open to the public live radio broadcast, so we’ll be going to Spainzaka in Shibuya. People around the area, please come and see 9mm behind the thick glass. Hey! You can’t give them food! And of course those of you who can’t come, do listen in, too～.
