『Inspire VAMPIRE EMPIRE. by TOY○ tire』
Our tour’s ended. To everyone who came, to all whom it may concern, and to everyone who supported us, let me profoundly thank you and offer you my sincerest gratitude.
Yoooooooo.
The attached picture is of a Suicidal cap that was handed to me on the first day of our tour from jealkb’s drummer elsa. He told me “if you wear it throughout the tour, I’ll give it to you“, and thus, I’ve even been wearing it during interviews. Operation successfully completed. Thanks to the cap, I somehow managed to avoid catching diarrhea. Thank you elsaaaaa.

「A new place」
Today we went to the Zankyo studios that just began operating this year. I forgot to take a picture, but it has a really nice atmosphere. You get motivated just being there. I’d completely forgotten how recording feels like, but today’s work brought it all back at once. Using such a fantastic studio makes a huge difference.
Come to think of it, it’s the season of entrance examinations right now, huh. I’m hoping everyone will do well.
9mm is working tomorrow as well.
With that, later.

『A tour doesn’t end until you’re back home』
Hello hello, this is Kazu Nakamura.
We returned from Hanamatsu not long ago and somehow the fatigue from touring just struck me all at once. Right now I’m just feeling worn out. I tried lining up the T-shirts from all the bands we played with on tour. Lining them up like that, there would’ve been a space remaining so I put a 9mm one there. It’s really fun doing this as it makes me reminisce about this and that about the tour. This venue and that venue, this band and that band. Really, so many fun things happened, I can’t even write them all of them down. Bleh, now I feel lonely somehow. The tour’s really over.
Also, those of you who came to see us, thank you very much. There were people who came to a number of shows it seems, which makes me really happy. Well done!
Now then, tomorrow it’s back to the studio for us. We’ll do our best.
With that, thank you. This was Kazu. Guhehe.

VAMPIRE EMPIRE TOUR 08/09
Everyone who attended and everyone who cheered us on, thank you. Thanks to the constant supply of refreshments, there was no shortage of alcohol or Umaibo on the tour.
We drank everything in the picture at yesterday’s wrap-up party.
With everyone feeling hungover, we’re now returning to Tokyo.
Thank you.

「VAMPIRE EMPIRE TOUR 08/09 is over!!」
I’ve lifted my ban on alcohol!!
I drank today, I drank a lot!!
I was surprised at how little it took to get me drunk.
I’m thankful for all the shows having ended safely, for everyone who came to see us and for all the bands who agreed to play with us. Today’s show was one fitting to be called the finale, one that really showed the results of our tour. Thank you very much!!
Only thing left now is to safely return home.
Then, we’ll start on something new.
With that, later～

「9mm and ASPARAGUS have a good enough relationship to be exchanging their goods. In other words, it’s an exchange relationship.」
1/31 (Sat) Kofu Kazoo Hall
We’re in the middle of our commute right now.
Our show at Kofu ended safely as well, and tomorrow is the finale at last. It’s already been two months, huh! Though I knew that, it still surprises me. Around the time we left Kyushu, it feels like the flow of time’s gotten faster. In any case, I’m hoping it’ll be good weather in Hanamatsu.
See you tomorrow.
