「The human body is 60% water」
January 9th (Fri), Shiga U☆STONE, with POLYSICKS
Thank you to everyone who came today.
After the show we immediately got on the road and just arrived at Nara.
We had ramen with everyone. I ate a little too much.
This was the first show of our 2009 tour. I thought the name was read as “you-stone“, but it’s actually “yous-tonne.” Seems like it’s pronounced the same as “Houston.” With a high ceiling, it also has second floor seating which is where we spied on POLYSICS’ performance and laughed at their ever-the-same coolness. 9mm might’ve been a little nervous for a change, but that didn’t affect our explosiveness. During the MC, I asked “so much of the Shiga prefecture consists of Lake Biwa?” and got my answer without a moment’s delay: “one sixth!!” I was surprised to know that as it was much more than I thought. Thanks to that, the following MC’s were good and it helped raise our spirits which in turn improved our performance. (lol) Still, it’s pretty great how someone immediately replied with 1/6. I wonder if they have special Lake Biwa education here. Nhaha.
This will be our first time playing in Nara since our tour with ELLEGARDEN the year before last.
We’ll make this show the superior one. With that, see you again tomorrow.
※ Sento-kun greeted us at our hotel.

「An exciting tour diary (maybe)」
I’ve decided to blog everyday on our ’09 tour. There’ll probably be days with really short entries and conversely longer ones as well. How will the first one turn out? I won’t know until I’m done.
The 9mm team departed Tokyo at noon and arrived at Shiga in the evening. I’m not really strong against travel sickness — on the contrary, I can’t take it at all — so every time we’re commuting, my head gets faint, I feel physically bad and I can’t shake off that depressed feeling. I think it’s because there’s no fresh air as I’m fine when it comes to trains. Cause those thing do stop at the stations and there’s a “whoosh!” when the doors open, bringing in fresh air (or something, I don’t know).
Nevertheless, as you saw in the previous blog, our car this time is rather cool (and moreover it stands out). I’m considering if it’s necessary to turn the tour diary into a travel sickness diary or not. Nope, it’s not. Our shows start tomorrow so I should be sleeping right now.
Nice to meet you, Shiga. We’re 9mm Parabellum Bullet. Pleased to make your acquaintance. With that, see you tomorrow.

「Yeah-Yeah-Yeah」
I got my palms read a while back.
After guessing right on all the basics like my personality and stuff, the doctor (let’s just call him that since he was looking at my hands) spotted this little mole between my wrist and palm and said to me “this isn’t good.” I of course asked him “huh, why’s that?” and he answered “it looks like you’ll get a serious illness at around 80 or 90, please be careful.“
The doctor was saying that in all seriousness, but I couldn’t help but laugh a little. I was planning on living until 120 with a live picture serving as my funeral portrait, so dying at such a young age would trouble me greatly.
So with that, I’ve decided on making health my no. 1 priority for the ’09 tour.
Let’s throw safety and lawfulness in that as well.
And it’d be good if it resulted in some good pictures as well. Nhaha.

「Happy New Year」
Happy New Year. This time I properly returned home and ate mochi on on New Year’s. Last time, I was writing lyrics and playing live at the (now defunct) EMI 3rd, so it was quite a more proper New Year’s this time around when compared to last year’s.
And so, 9mm is returning to activity today.
We’re hoping for your support in 2009 as well.
The ’09 tour is starting～!!
