『Her exploding waste』
Inside my stomach, yesterday’s dinner had today changed into shit. To go and re-re-relieve myself a bit, I made my way over to the comfort station at the studio. And so, the previous visitor was this cute staff girl. And, you know, she got done just as I entered.
Seriously, it really, really smelled. The bathroom.
It smelled so bad, I got partial memory loss. With such a cute face and everything, I wonder what the hell she’s been eating. For various reasons, I want to have dinner with her. To replace my lost memories, I want to create dirty ones. Let’s make some!!!!
This kind of heart-warming tale, the winter’s number one heartful story, I wanted to share it with all of you.
Go away, smell.
…Yeah. It stiiinks!!

Yeah, yeah, beacoup merci beacoup.
Happy New Year.
A raging man, gigantic as the mountains of Nagano,
Also known by the name of “Dynamite Shinano”, I’m Chihiro.
Really, my apologies, this character I do is my only redeeming feature.
Since I felt like it, I thought I’d post a blog.
…I-it’s not like I’m doing so because I felt down during the recordings and wanted to escape from reality by writing a blog or anything like that, just so you know!!
But really though, somehow I already kind of feel exhausted.
I want to escaaape. KyaAAaaA.
Mmm? What’s that? Proper adults shouldn’t complain, you say??
It’s fine, it’s fine.
I’m just relieving streeess.
Trying to act like an adult without speaking what’s on your mind will sooner or later destroy your spirit. That in turn will end up causing trouble to those around you. More than those people, the one who’s actually the greater adult is meee, ahahahaa.
It’s MEGA bothersome but,
after all this gaudy lazing around, I think I’ll try getting up.
Alright, I’ll struggle to do so.
In 2011 as well, don’t take your eyes off 9mm. Or something. I don’t know.
Kyahaha.
Shit, shitit, shititit.

『Oh that’s right, let’s write a blog.』
Mmm. On this week’s edition of “Weekly Shounen Chihiro“, I’m sending you a two-shot picture they took together with designer Neil Barrett.
Ah, Chikkun has quite the drunken face going on here. He’s obviously had too much to drink. How unattractive. Looks like he’s just about to pass out, look, he’s going to pass out, look look, he looks tired, looook he’s no good anymore– what the, he hasn’t dropped dead yet. Hey, get to sleep already. If you close your eyes it’s goodbye for you you son of a bitch. Shit! Just die! Fucking fuckkk!!
Alright, good. From next week and onward, we’re planning on suspending the publication.
Please do as you like.

『Peko-chan, pregnant from fooling around in nightlife』
Hello everyone.
I’m an energetic fuckin’ Jap today as well!!
Fujiya. I quite like them.
Especially their cakes and stuff, though I don’t really eat them much since they make me fat.
The body weight of Hello Kitty was three apples’ worth, right.
I’m guessing the body weight of Peko-chan would have to be something like several thousand Milky…
Age and weight are something you don’t inquire ladies about if you wanna be popular.
Just giving you this advice from my own experience, you know.
Be careful, everyone ♪

You’ve really pissed me off this time.
I’m gonna leave without flushing the toilet.

『Relatively true to my character. My longest entry so far.』
To those of you always expecting idiotic and dirty jokes from me, it might be wise to just skip this one. You won’t get laughs out of it.
“Cold H¹ e.p.”… was it? To everyone who bought it, I thank you. To everyone who came to the events I was in charge of at Shinjuku Tower Records and Shinjuku HMV, I thank you. To all those who went to the locations with the other members, I thank you as well. …If I act as the considerate band representative who’s being so thorough in his flattery, it’ll raise my public esteem, right? How’s that? I see. This is Chihiro.
I didn’t really want to particularly announce this. We were on the verge of the 9/30 events and I found that I had a lot more to say than I thought I would, but I’m writing it now.
I’ve changed my drums.
I’ll no longer be using Ludwig’s Vistalite.
From now on, I’ll be banging on Yamaha’s “Birch Custom Absolute”.
I’m truly, honestly and extremely happy and sincerely thankful that my former set, the “Blue Demon” as I liked to call it, had people who loved it as much as I did. It was worth using it. I must sound like the devil’s advocate when I say this, but that’s exactly what I was hoping for.
After getting into talks about an endorsement with Yamaha, I spent three months from spring until summer just seriously brooding on the matter. To be honest, there is some resistance to changing my set even from my own part. When I bought the Vista, I boldly thought it’d forever be my favorite. … but in the end, I only used it for two years.
However, as I’ve gathered more experience in concert, recording and other such work, I’m constantly getting more demanding about how my drums sound. As I grew more and more needy regarding the details of the sound, I realized this would be a good opportunity for me to do another honest self-assessment. After thinking about where I stand and my past as a drummer, taking into account my outlook hereafter, no matter how many times I thought it over, the conclusion I came to was Yamaha. Although there are a great number of splendid people, too, Japan is still a hugely underdeveloped country when it comes to drummers. It wasn’t originally in our culture, see. As a Japanese drummer, I wanted to work together with Yamaha who insists on having everything “Made in Japan“; with Yamaha, who made “Recording Custom” known worldwide.
Until now, I was using the Vistalite while placing importance on appearance but now, as I’m paying more attention to sound, I’ve stopped bringing fashion into music.
And with that, I already recorded “Cold Edge” with Yamaha. This might be something you wouldn’t notice or pay any heed to unless you were a drummer, but comparing it to the sound of Termination～VAMPIRE, you have to admit that the range is remarkable. The lows on the kick and so on. For better or worse, the Vistalite can’t put out more than well-rounded middles, so I always had to rely on the mix or PA… something everyone does, sure, but it had its various negative handicaps.
Mmm.
I shouldn’t really be saying that, though.
As a musician, I think about how to mesmerize and satisfy my audience, without saying anything, without supplements, just with the sound of my instrument alone. Well… the Japanese are a race who dislike change but even so, saying that the Vistalite has become established as the color of 9mm, hearing “won’t you go back to using Vistalite?” from fans, I’ve realized I just don’t have the energy to deal with that. The girl who said “I like the blue transparent drums better” to me, she was doing so in all seriousness. Like, high school baseball level serious. However, I also changed my set in all seriousness. Although we clashed because we were both serious, it can’t be helped. Because ,hey, we were both being dead serious — there wouldn’t have been a war if it wasn’t for that.
…
…Taki and Takuro changing into brand new guitars, Haruki Murakami writing depictions about sex, horror movies openly showing massacres… even though I’m not making making that many waves, why does it always result in repercussions with me…? I really don’t get it. “Living sure is such a bother” it makes me think, to be honest. But, it’s also reeeeeeally fun.
Well, this sure has been an annoying, formal, damn sultry entry, but all of it is my true feelings.
And with that, from now on succeeding the “Blue Demon“… joining Chihiro Kamijo will be the “Blue Devil” of Yamaha. Please give 9mm your continued support.
Ah man, I let too much of my true feelings show because of my drunken momentum. To top it off, this is way too long. Even though I myself wrote something like “I hate people who are too sultry” somewhere. That must be because I am one of those people myself.
What’s that, I’m trying to look too cool??
Alright alright, I hear you. ◯nko. ◯nko.
Do you put the “chi” from “Chihiro” inside that “◯” perhaps? The “ma” from “Yamaha“?² Well, let’s think about that in groups.
(Attachment: Yamaha)
¹ “H” = “sex”
² “chinko” = “dick”, “manko” = “pussy”

「Autumn of reading. I want to read the akashic records.」
Yes yes. Up until around junior high school, I had no doubt in my mind that that “turning the calf upside down” was one of the 48 basic sumo techniques. No, I believed that for even longer… That kind of Chihiro has today taken up the rare deed of wielding his writing brush. Hello.
Well, I have a little advertising to do. Zildjian will launch a line of my signature model drum sticks. As long as you have these, you’ll be aaaall right!!
No matter who you are, you’ll be able to play double bass drums with extreme ease when using these.
…that, is something I can’t really promise you. But they’re good for those who don’t believe in anything but the blastbeat.
They’re also good for the air drummers amongst you. Also, those of you who think your brains might’ve been invaded by filaria. As long as you have these, you’ll be able to look quite a bit like a drummer
Playing drums is of course a given, but they can also be used in various other ways.
☆ As everyday tools
Carry them as self-defense tools and if it looks like you might get attacked… put all your strength into it and utilize them as a legitimate form of self-defense. There’s no doubt that you’ll be blamed for using excessive force in your self-defense.
☆ With Japanese meals
If you’re in need of chopsticks… there’s nothing bigger, nothing more annoying to use than these. However, the rare times you do succeed in using them properly, it’s guaranteed that the inside of your mouth will be nothing less than a jewel box of flavor.
☆ As nighttime companions
If you use them as sex toys if you’re a girl… yeah, it’ll be aaaall splishy-splashy.
I promise you a supreme evening.
The examples written here are just that, though… As per your own ideas and taste, the ways to use these are infinite. Right now — as soon as possible — do make your way to your nearest music store.
Not that they’re available yet, though.
They’re planned to go on sale 09.09.09. Everyone, buy ‘eeem.

『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.
