\u300c999 (at Budokan)\u300d<\/p>\n
9mm Parabellum Bullet is going to play at Nippon Budokan on 9\/9\/2009. If someone’s wondering “why Budokan?<\/em>“, the answer to that is “because we thought that if 9mm’s going to play on that day, it’s gotta be at Budokan<\/em>“. We’re just going by the members’ and staff’s intuition and heart, there’s no deep reasoning there other than that. If the goal’s just to play a grand show with lots of people there to watch us, there’d be lots of other places we could’ve decided on, but as we were thinking that, many in the 9mm team were just going “that’s no good<\/em>“. And thus, we decided on Budokan. Well, I’m making it sound too simple though. I extend my gratitude to the many staff and authorized personnel who made this possible. If we’d missed this, our next chance would’ve been in 2099. Even if we assume just for argument’s sake that all the members were still alive by then, actually performing would’ve been difficult.\u00a0(laughs<\/em>)<\/p>\n This is one of those things I’d describe as being “a little further ahead<\/em>” when in reality it’s actually already right around the corner. Firstly, our tour with THE BACK HORN called “Daisanji Memai Taisen” is happening this month, after which we rush right into a dizzying 10 summer festivals & other shows as well as playing with other bands in the mean time, and — whoa! It’s already time to play Budokan. I think that’s how it’s going to feel. It’d be awesome if you picked up “Black Market Blues e.p.” tomorrow afternoon when they line it up in the stores and if we could have you come to all our shows<\/p>\n At our shows there are people who are going wild, people who are just really happy, people who can’t shed their gloominess and people who are just in an overall bad mood. But, our objective is that we try to change everyone’s<\/em> mood, even if just a little (or possibly a lot). That’s the kind of a place our shows are. I was supposed to know that already, but lately I’ve been feeling that way especially much. That feeling of “let’s party<\/em>” vibrates toward us on the stage. Seeing everyones’ faces like that, that in turn makes me think “don’t think we’ll let you off easy!<\/em>” It’s awesome. We of course want to make September 9th like that, too. People who’ve seen us before, people who we’ve yet to meet,\u00a0we’re waiting for you all the same.\u00a0Let’s look forward to it. 9mm at Nippon Budokan, I hope to see you there!!<\/p>\n Finally, something that’s also written on the homepage: “Today, June 26th, it’s exactly 99 days before 9\/9!!<\/em>” I’m sure it’ll be here in no time. Let’s look forward to it together as much as possible, yeah?<\/p>\n With that, later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u300c999 (at Budokan)\u300d 9mm Parabellum Bullet is going to play at Nippon Budokan on 9\/9\/2009.
