How do you do!! We’ve at last started a blog!!
\nI’m the vocalist and guitarist of 9mm Parabellum Bullet, Takuro Sugawara!! Pleased to make your acquaintance!!<\/p>\n

Right, that was my attempt at doing a much too over-enthusiastic introduction.
\nThe first impression people often have when they see our name is “I can’t read this shit.<\/em>”
\nI think there are some among you who can’t either. I’d like to have furigana <\/em>on here to show you, but for now I’ll just write that again in katakana<\/em>.
\nI think its destructive power will remain in any case.<\/p>\n

I’m the vocalist and guitarist of Kyuumiri paraberamu baretto<\/em>, Sugawara Takuroo<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That’s how you write it. It’s too complicated, I know.
\nTo avoid accidents, us members as well as staff like to just say kyuumiri<\/em>.
\nWhen talking about us with friends and family, definitely call us kyuumiri<\/em> please.
\n(By the way, thus far the one who’s been having the most accidents is me. I suck.\uff09<\/p>\n

Well then, 9mm Parabellum Ba…t’s new CD “The World e.p.” is just about to be released!!
\nWe’re excited about the fact that the music we created is going to be made into CD’s and be put on shelves for sale. It’s quite difficult to put the joy we’re feeling into words but damnit, I’ll try. Quite simply put, yeah: it’s the best!!<\/p>\n

The band’s all excited, happily going “Won’t it come out already?<\/em>“, “Is it really coming out?<\/em>“, “If it’s coming out, then when? (May 16th)<\/em>” and so on. The other day this actually went as far as one of us asking “Wait, didn’t it come out already?<\/em>” Quite an obvious case of the May Blues<\/a>.
\nHowever, there’s been an incident going on that completely blows those kind of thoughts away, an example of which you can find in the picture above.<\/p>\n

Before the entrance to the Tower Records store in Shibuya, they have this poster put up as kind of a prank. Blocking the way to the escalator is this news about the in-store performance we’re doing on the 26th. Moreover, it’s not just that, but it seems this kind of prank phenomenon is occurring at several other CD shops as well. There must be people who’ve seen this picture in several places and are thinking “Who the hell are these guys? Don’t block the way to the escalator!<\/em>“, but I can with confidence say that we’re the most surprised out of anyone. I think there must be several gates blocked by our posters. It’s not our doing.<\/p>\n

We plan on taking peeks at CD shops all over Japan after we embark on our nation-wide tour at the end of the month. And of course, before the tour even starts, we’ll continuously keep you updated via this blog, lots of pictures included. I ask that you look forward to it.<\/p>\n

I think I’ll end the first post around here. Starting from the next one, it’ll be nothing but “what we ate today<\/em>” kind of posts (maybe), so please keep reading everyone.<\/p>\n

Well then, I bid you farewell.
