「A winter of ambition」

Lately I hear it at least once every couple of days. “We’ve entered the coldest time of the winter now.” Sure is an ambitious winter. Pretty soon it’ll have been a week since our show with People In The Box. It feels like we got a great reaction at the event. It happens a lot of the time, but everyone’s going “we should start doing this more often!” As I say “thanks to everyone who came, let’s make noise again next year!“, the demons around me burst into great laughter — though unfortunately for them, they’ll be driven out with beans next week.¹

We were mixing a certain song in the recording studio today. We’re working while getting all giddy listening to the sound coming out of the speakers. I want to have you all see and hear this soon. Look forward to it.

Visiting the CD shop, I noticed that the cro-magnons’ new release has come out. TAIJI at THE BONNET, too. Also, it seems ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s best-of album ranked number one on the Oricon charts. It feels really good when a cool rock band’s CD sells like hot cakes. We, too, will fix our postures and create songs even crazier than before. Ones that simply won’t allow you to sit still when you listen to them.

(Picking up where we left off the other day, tomorrow we’re planning on having another meeting with certain people from HERE. No one wrote about it on the blog, but we were creating our battle strategy together. This was on the night when even Tokyo had some snow accumulate.)
