『Movement YOKOHAMA limited goods』
Yesterday we announced the first batch of the Yokohama Arena limited goods on the site.
Did everyone check it out?
The shirts were designed by thinking about the word “Movement” and trying to express that.
The test prints arrived today～
As we head towards the highly anticipated show at Yokohama Arena, I’ll be checking out how they look on the members!
First up. We were nervous about the “sherbet orange” one, but it looks absolutely great～
The second batch we’re going to announce is the accessories!
These came out really nice, too.
Looking forward to the commemorative show so much!!

『Today’s 9mm』
Today everyone had their respective jobs.
Let’s take a look back at what went on today.
Kamijo had some work by himself today.
He had a secret photo shoot along with his drums.
We’ll fill you in on the details later so please wait just a little more.
That looks like an expensive sofa. Wonder what kind of a photo shoot it was?
These guys started from the recording of J-WAVE’s “TOKYO REAL-EYES”!
Takumi’s always treating 9mm kindly.
Thank you very much.
■ J-WAVE 「TOKYO REAL-EYES」
6/17 (Fri), 6/24 (Fri) 24:00～28:00
Guest appearance two weeks in a row.
Next up, we went to record bay FM’s “Mosaic Night”.
Takako’s a radio personality Takuro and Taki have been listening to since their student days, so they were really happy to be able to appear on air together with her.
■bay FM 「Mosaic Night」
6/23 (Thu) 25:30～

Lastly, InterFM!
It was a live broadcast, so these two were having fun with the guitars George lent them as they waited.
Here’s Takuro after finding a new way of having fun with the guitar (lol)
And here’s George who always greets 9mm in high spirits!
It was their first time together on radio, but they were having fun like always.
That wraps it up for today’s work.
Everyone, definitely do listen to the radio shows, please!
And then let’s meet at Yokohama Arena.
…though I say “today’s” work, the date’s already changed…

『Stamina for Yokohama Arena!』
Right now, we’re preparing for a live airing on InterFM.
George, ever in high spirits, lent two guitars to 9mm who had arrived early!
Because of that, Taki’s concentrating on playing the guitar now.
Just loitering around with his acoustic.
Takuro’s taken out the guitar strings he bought just because he felt an affinity with them and is now busy changing the ones on George’s guitar to those.
What kind of an affinity, you ask?…
※Look at the price!!
Heading towards Yokohama Arena, 9mm together with the staff were in the studio yesterday working diligently! All the exciting details of the show have now been worked out～.
The same 9mm are properly building up their stamina, too!
This is from dinner…
※Photographer: Takuro
That’s Kamijo’s itadakimasu-pose (lol)
Just kidding.
Today they had a radio appearance as well as a secret photo shoot.
We’ll tell you more after the live broadcast this time has ended～
Look forward to it.

「The backs of the interviewees」
9mm Parabellum Bullet, being interview for an article filled with high praise.
What might they be talking about…? Look forward to the publication～
The interviewer this time is a former member of a band with ties to our company, AFRICAEMO. The last time we met he was a fellow band comrade, but this time he’s a writer. It’s a really strange feeling but as he’s an acquaintance of 9mm as well as a band man, they seem to be having a really relaxed and harmonius interview.

Broadcasting live on J-WAVE!
Takuro and Taki are making a live appearance. Due to popular demand, Taki’s introducing his self-made effect pedals as he’s producing all kinds of squeeing sounds with them! Doing that on program for adults… I wonder if it’s alright…
But it looks fun!
2011/05/23＊Staff
In the middle of a live radio broadcast!
They’re having nagashi soumen!!
Looks good.
Taki’s absent as he’s playing guitar at a live charity event.
