『Recording news flash 5』
It’s The Kazuhiko Nakamura. It’s the 5th day. Today we’ve decided were doing an analog re-recording of a song that was also included on our last single, Wildpitch. When recording digitally, you can clean up certain parts where you messed up, fix the entire take and edit with ease. With analog, you can’t do that. Or, if you can, it’s not very often. So with that comes this sense of nervousness, this little high you could say, and you can quite often hear that when listening to the take. When about to record, it feels like you’re going to play live. Also, when recording on tape, there’s also this sort of “flavor” to it that’s not there when recording digitally.
With that method of analog recording, the songs we did today include the fast one we also played at Mujuuryoku no Cube as well as this song I wrote the other day that just sounds like chaos pretty much all the way through. Junji tried expressing that chaos in a drawing (see picture).
Now then, tomorrow we’re adding in more guitars and whatnot. I don’t have that much to do anymore so I think I’ll spend my time telling Taki and Takuro that their takes were no good and that they need to redo them.
With that, goodbye.

This is Kazuhiko Nakamura. Fourth day of recording. As we’re now four days in, the members are starting to lose their minds. Taki’s trying to break free from the drum part around him. Nice.
Today’s songs included a silly, farmer-type song as well as an instrumental, beach-themed one we’ve recently been playing live a lot. The instrumental one is dangerous. Beginning with Junji, no one could stop dancing to it. That’s a good sign.
We’re planning on doing two songs tomorrow as well!
This was Kazu Nakamura.

Hello, this is Kazuu Nakamura.
Even recording is a violent affair for 9mm — Taki’s not even playing anything in that picture.
We recorded two songs today, too. One of them is a rocker and a future crowd pleaser whereas the other one’s our first song to be over 5 minutes in length, an epic. I predict both of them becoming popular tunes. Oh, and we found that doing 2 songs a day is just right for 9mm.
It seems today was the Tanabata festival, so I wrote down my wish¹.
With that, good night.

『Recording news flash 2』
Hello, this is Kazu Nakamura. Today was the second day of recording. The people in the picture, it looks like they’re testing different guitars and amps. It looks really fun.
We recorded two songs. One of them is a really danceable song while the other one’s a really high-tension, refined kinda song. Also, I somehow managed to catch the last train today.
Alright, sleep!

Hello, this is Kazu Nakamura. With the ridiculously fun Nipponia Nippon behind us, 9mm rushed straight into recording starting today.
We recorded two songs today. One of them’s a straight-up simple song whereas the other one’s a little bit tricky. Somehow we managed to record the both of them. They’re cool. I’ll do my best tomorrow, too. Good night. Yes!

Taki’s stored away under the seat.
