「Kitami → Kushiro」

We’ve just arrived at the club in Kushiro. It’s noisy everywhere as people are preparing our stage settings which are getting rave reviews. It looks like the speakers are a bit loose and shaky today, so you need to go crazy today and push back so they don’t fall. club green has three stories, but I’m feeling worried that there might not be any left after HORMONE’s done… what do we do if they just crash on top of each other like “DON! DON!“… that’d be quite legendary… yeah. Well, 10-FEET played a rocking show here as well, so it should be fine. We’ll play to our hearts’ content!!

To get back to our Kitami show. Watching the footage from it with everyone yesterday, I noticed I said in an MC that “Obihiro’s the only city on the tour I haven’t been to“, but it’s the opposite. I have been to Obihiro. (laughs)

Onion Hall is a venue with an extremely heavy atmosphere… “you’ll be completely beat when you play here!” is what HORMONE told us, and we started preparing for the worst. But once we started playing, the atmosphere felt really pleasant (…is what I say now, but all the cool air immediately changed to hot steam because of the heat, and drops of water were dripping from my head aaall the way through (laughs)). Thus, we narrowly escaped Onion Hall with our lives.

The venue, with adults and children jumbled together, was full of good vibrations. Wakkanai was like that, too, but everyone was so into it, you wouldn’t believe it was our first time there! Thank you to everyone who came to see us. We’ll definitely come again. The backstage was like a bar as well, so after the show we unconsciously started partying. We all got completely wasted and thus didn’t get to exchange final greetings with the staff there, so I’m taking this chance to say thank you. Seeing the parking lot having gotten all three-dimensional afterwards… that was another thing that surprised me.

Now then. As the tour goes on, the shows will be different as well. I’m looking forward to tonight as well. See you again soon!
