Our Gig Week has been finished!
Thank you so much for coming to see us!
We'll be back to "the underground".
We're making lots of new songs now.
I'm looking forward to the next one-man gig.
Also we'll play at CITTA' before it.
See you next month!
The gig in Osaka successfully ended and we'll play at AX the day after tomorrow.
It even surprised me I slept all day yesterday, just got up only twice to go the bathroom.
I'm serious!
I felt so fine during the rehearsal today.
It's so nice to have lots of concerts, isn't it?
So, anyway let's get together at AX to see us!
See ya!
Thank you for coming in the rain.
We played in the open for the first time in many years,
but it was so wonderful.
We could watch the shows of many bands, so we could learn good lessons.
I'm looking forward to the next gig in Osaka at the end of this month.
As we talked during the show, We, the Underneath are making new songs right now.
So please expect us!
Some more gigs might be scheduled by the end of the year.
Well, we have a lot of fun things to do!
So talk to you later.

I spend a lot of time making songs recently.
I listened to the other members' songs during a meeting the other day and they were so cool.
I don't want to be defeated by them, so I'm trying hard to write songs.
The other day, when I went to a convenience store, a elementary school kid said to me,
"That man imitated "SHUCHISHIN"'s hair style."
I'm mature, of course, so I caught the kid and told him, "I dyed my hair two-tone first!"
So talk to you later!
We went to h.NAOTO NEW TOKYO COLLECTION.
It's the first time for me to see a fashion show,
so I was little bit nervous.
However, it was fantastic. I want to see again!
Thank you indeed, Mr. naoto.
I secretly took a picture by a mobile phone in the venue
before the show, but it's not enough light. ha-ha
Sorry......
Let me introduce another.
A fantastic analog synthesizer "KORG MS-10" released in 1978 has been re-released as software for Nintendo DS!!
I'm so surprised because a synthesizer is released for Nintendo DS.
I suppose some people buy it, so it is available only at amazon. ha-ha
I received this maniac product as my birthday present(thank you!) and use it every night.
The Nintendo DS's dual-screen touch panel is used to operate this.
Its specs are following;
Two patchable dual-oscillator analog synth simulators
Four-part drum machine that uses sounds created with the analog synth simulator
Six-track (analog synth x 2, drum machine x 4) /16-step sequencer
Delay, chorus, and flanger sound effects available from the mixing board
Three note-entry modes: touch-control screen, keyboard screen, matrix screen
Real-time sound control mode via touch-control screen
DS can do such things!
(sorry, it's too long description and also difficult to understand)
Moreover, I'm so impressed that Mr. Hideki Matsutake took part in the development of this software.
He is a synthesizer programmer of YMO which is emblematic of techno-pop. He is a GOD!!
I'm addicted to this recently after I completed Dragon Quest.
I'm not a cheerful person....ha-ha
so talk to you later....
Do you know iDrum?
It's an application software for iPhone and iPod touch.
A maker named iZotope creats this and its productions are easy-to use,
so I often use them.
For this reason, I purchased the download version of this immediately.
It costs just 600Yen. Cheap, isn't it?
To explain briefly, it's a sequencer containing sound source of drums.
We can input data of drums by iPod touch, so don't you think it's a fantastic time?
This is the software to input by only the internal sound source, so it's impossible for sampling,
but the internal sound source is good as I expected!
It's on the enough level to use and simple to operate.
Of course, there is iDrum for Mac and Windows and it's compatible with Mac and Win version
and easy to use via Wi-Fi.
Such a nice software for killing time, isn't it?
There are lots of applications for iPhone & iPod touch like this, I'll try the other ones.
Sorry I'm a computer guy.
So talk to you later.
I feel so good indeed at the gig.
It was for a short time, but I was so happy that we shook hands with
the audience who came to see us and talked with them directly. Thank you!
Next gig is at CLUB CITTA'.
We'll make a great show to finish up with this summer, so please get together!
So talk to you later.
We'll have an in-store event at SHIBUYA TOWER RECORDS tomorrow.
I've been staying home or in the studio since I came back from OTAKON,
so I'm really excited to go out. Please expect us!
Recently I played "Dragon Quest 5" of DS version when I fell behind in my work or
before I went to bed. I've just completed it.
Well, what shall I do next?
Good morning.
We came back to Japan safely.
It was a bit of a pity that we didn't have any time for sightseeing,
but I was so pleased the event was much more exciting than I expected.
I think it'll be so nice Japanese culture is becoming more and more popular
all over the world through these events and I'm proud to make a performance
at such a wonderful event.
I'm also glad to see the staff who's been so good to us during RTOC again.
What a beautiful city, Baltimore!
See you later.
Today I went to Shimokitazawa to see a one-man gig of AGE of PUNK headed by ASAKI who is my master of Rock.
They were so cooking, so I thought "This is PUNK!!"
After the show, I visited the backstage and chatted with the other my masters of Rock.
Oh, my god!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was Ms Kanako Nakayama from ex. PRINCESS PRINCESS among them!!!!!!
You know PRINCESS PRINCESS, everyone?
What's more PRINCESS PRINCESS than "The hottest summer in the world"?
MASAKI went to their show when he was younger!
She talked to me very frankly, so I was so happy!!
Unfortunately, I had lots of things to do, so I couldn't go drinking after the show.
But I had the gall to take a picture with her!
Are you jealous of me?
So that's the photo!! ↓ (of course, with her permission)
A White Base has come to us!
It's good here in this car.
We've known him for ten years, maybe.
However, it's time to say good bye to him.
He kept running on rainy day, windy day and stormy day without complain.
(you know, it's natural,,,)
He has 250,256km on the clock.
Oh my god!
He logged 25,000 km per year on an average.
Thank you so much! Good job!
I thank all that came to our show and also thank people who wanted to come but couldn't.
There were some troubles, but we've got through the gig.
We'll lead you, so follow us!
Thank you!

I bought a pack of cigarettes from the vending machine by "taspo".
Well, I was totally unimpressed with it.
Sorry, one day has passed.
It was 35th show in CLUB CITTA'. This was the end of RTOC.
I'm grateful to people involved in this tour!!!!!!
Thank you!! Taste of Chaos!!
I went to a rehearsal for "American Syndrome".
Today we had the rehearsal jointly with 3 bands,
so there were the music equipments of the all members in the studio. Oh, my god!
Everything is going fine. I'm looking forward to it.
To change my life that I go to bed before noon and wake up late in the afternoon,
I stayed up all day and went to bed at midnight.
Today I woke up at 8 o'clock in the morning, so I feel like the right sort of a person.
We'll have a rehearsal for "American Syndrome" tomorrow, so I'm spending quality afternoon
processing the data of a session song and playing the bass.
Drinking beer(but low-malt beer, or "Happo-syu"). I'm such a happy man!
RYO(loser...)
