(○｀ε´○)

Thanks for the love letters and peta (○｀ε´○)
I just got up
And I'll at long-last return the peta ☆

This kaomoji is pretty good (○｀ε´○)

Hmmmm (○｀ε´○)

LOST MY BRAIN

The more I eat, the stranger, weirder curry I perfect (｀・ω・´)ゞ

It's delicious but I doubt my tongue, like does curry taste like this? I doubt my taste. I doubt my brain.

For now, it's spicy!!

The feature of today's curry is garam masala.

If you put this stuff in it doubles the spiciness ヾ(o`冂´ｏ)ノ〃

Thanks to that, I'm dripping with sweat even though I took a bath a little while ago.

SHINING (^-^;

That said

I talked to RYUZI tons and tons
And now I'm starting to make curry.

It's interesting to try putting different things in and trying out different things and making different flavors ☆

By the way, I thought if I put grapefruit in the acidity wouldn't be very good so I don't recommend it!!
Things I've added so far are instant coffee, Nikaido barley shochu, wine, beer, corn soup, consomme, noodle water, cola... etc. etc. there are so many other things but I forgot what.

I wonder if my thinking that coffee was pretty good is because I'm a caffeine addict? (-.-;)

Today I'm making it with vegetable juice instead of water.

I'm hungry (>_<)

Excellence

Just when I thought I'd go out to buy things to make curry
I ran into super bassist RYUZI ヾ(o`冂´ｏ)ノ〃

It seems like he's making a new band!
Let's do our best together (^^)/

I love it

I love salad.

I can't handle its crispness.

Salad over rice
Salad over bread
Salad over okonomiyaki
Salad over takoyaki
Salad over pasta
Salad over yakisoba
I'd have to think about yakiniku.
Nonetheless, curry wins.

Maybe I'll make curry for the first time in a while today (^^)

SHINING ヾ(o`冂´ｏ)ノ〃

Dead-drunk.

I was home before I realized (lol) That's a side effect of having fun ☆
It was really fun ☆
I'm going to get a bath and then sleep now.

I'll return peta when I wake up.

SHINING! ヾ(o`冂´ｏ)ノ〃

Special Merry Christmas ☆

I'm spending a fun Christmas with my senpai bandmen and musicial friends ヾ(o`冂´ｏ)ノ〃
With S.Q.F's Michi-san, The ROMEO's Daishi-san, the guitarist Mr. Riino, and The ROMEO's manager Taka ヾ(o`冂´ｏ)ノ〃
Everyone, happy happy Merry Christmas ☆

Please have a nice Christmas, everyone ☆

RUIDO K2

Thank you!!
Today the weather was nice from the morning and I was able to do the live with high spirits.

The photo is with super-bassist HIROKI-san from bands like Hiroshima, The ROMEO, Loveless, and PENICILLIN (^^)v
Before Loveless went on for real he came just to watch us ☆

No wayy; it was a Chirstmas present. Thank you ヾ(o`冂´ｏ)ノ〃

It was a super fun day. All the members of THE GALLO, the staff, all the fans, everyone from the sponsoring band PRIMEADDICT, Nishimura-kun from RUIDO, and everyone else at RUIDO K2, thank you.


SHINING WIZARD WEAPON HIKARU ヾ(o`冂´ｏ)ノ〃

This is Hikaru!!

Nice to meet you and it's been a while
This is Hikaru, the guitarist who joined at THE GALLO's sponsored live yesterday at Takadanobaba AREA!

Vivi-chan introduced me during the MC but I'm not Shikaru (^-^;

I'm Hikaru ヾ(o`冂´ｏ)ノ〃

Thank you for yesterday, everyone. I'm glad to finally stand on stage as an official part of THE GALLO O(≧∇≦)o
I'll make the stage intense and fantastic so please support me from now on~ (`▽´)

Alcohollll, ahaa

Birthday.

Greetings, this is Andy.

As a matter of fact, yesterday was my birthday.


I am truly grateful for so many love letters.



No, I am really as happy as I could be.



However, to tell the truth I caught something of a cold for about a week...


Simply put, I cannot deny that my voice is nasally now, too.


Seeing as I had confidence that I couldn't be defeated by cold germs, my heart is full of frustration.



I must steadily look after my health!



Everyone, please look out for your health, too.



It's like that.

Good morning

The morning is extremely lovely today (´ωＷ)！


Because


It is our four-string black rooster,


Andy's birthday (´ωＷ)！


Oh boy


Joyous (´ωＷ)★


The day after tomorrow is Lulu's birthday


So it is a flush for the December roosters (´ωＷ)！


The preparations for the 1221 GALLO-sponsored [live] are progressing steadily


so won't it be a magnificent celebration for them (´ωＷ)！


A wonderful announcement is in the works


and it is the prerelease day for "Tokyo Cinderella" (´ωＷ)v


That is, if you miss the 1221 GALLO-sponsored [live]


you won't have it in your hands for a whole month (´ωＷ)


Won't you share your lovely nightmares with us (´ωＷ)！


Okay


I am holding out a little longer on having a meal (´ωＷ)！

Game-fowl Jojo

This is Jojo

who has been interested in


game fowl


and


orcas


since


several hours ago (´ωＷ)！


I'm very busy before the sponsored live but


It is Lulu and Andy's birthday performance


so I want to celebrate extravagantly (´ωＷ)！


Okay


Game fowl (´ωＷ)！

1209 Ikebukuro CYBER.

Evening, this is Andy.
[Hokkaido-dialect greeting, "oban desu".]

Thank you for [coming to] the performance at CYBER.


I am truly grateful

to everyone who came, everyone on staff, to all the other bands, and to everyone at the live house

I am also really grateful for the provisions.
[Provisions = gifts from fans]


Well, here's the set list

It was

1. SNOW WHITE AND THE THIRTEEN RxPISTS
2. BOUTIQUE BEELZEBUB
3. Danshou Ballerina
-MC-
4. Maou -taidou-
5. Maou -kakusei-
6. Tokyo Cinderella



It was the first time at CYBER in a while


and somehow it felt like a really long time.


With this feeling


we unveiled a new song this time.


The third song, Danshou Ballerina, is a new song.



We haven't had a tune like this before


and has an undeniably fresh feeling.



That said

next is 1221 at Takadanobaba AREA.



We can only play with a bang next time, too.



I'll be waiting for all of you.


It's like that.

The first Ikebukuro performance in a while ( ﾟ∀Ｗ)★

Thank you very much (´ωＷ)v

This is Jojo ( ﾟ∀Ｗ)！

To tell the truth, all of us gathered today and were busy (´ωＷ)

At any rate, new costumes, too...

No, no

As there was a somewhat large number of problems, we must improve them but

Anyway

We will hold out just a little longer until the 1221 sponsored performance (´ωＷ)！

Speaking of that

This is also the first in a while

[Link to continue reading here; we were unable to recover the rest of the blog entry]

Winter.

Evening, this is Andy.

Noo

Recently it kind of feels like it's gotten much colder.



Naturally, winter is the calmest, huh.


It's like that right now today.



Which reminds me, a questions came the other day


Asking


What kind of shochu I like
[Shochu is a kind of liquor]


So I think I'll answer it.



Actually, in the past I taste-tested a lot of shochu for the best flavor


And I remember potato shochu being the best at the time.
[Shochu is most commonly made from potatoes]



On the other hand, the kind I don't like is shiso.
[Shiso is a Japanese herb]


The moment I drank it I started shaking for some reason.


Shiso is better when eaten as it is,


not when it's made into shochu.



It's kinda like that.



Well then

tomorrow is the first time at CYBER in a while.


I can only do it with a bang!


Okay

"Rainy Blue" / Hideaki Tokunaga

Interview - Risknote November 2009

The horror nursery rhyme in which black roosters chant their magic

Let's open the door to the strange world where we can see such a scene

Interview by Ayako Tokita

Translated by Chiva

―Gallo started their activities only in the beginning of this year, right?
Jojo　Right, right, right. This year in May.
Andy　From a small meeting.
Kaede　We were already playing in a session band at the end of January though.
Jojo　Andy, Lulu, and I were previously in the same band, so it was more like we were searching for new members while doing sessions and many other things. And I've known Kaede for a long time, so at one unexpected meeting, when I asked him: "Kaede, won't you play drums?" he said, "Okay." (laugh)
Kaede　By chance, when I was doing support for a band called Watashime Slug, I also played at some of the same lives as everyone else. We met up every month for one thing or another and in December I called Jojo.
Jojo　I was kidnapped. (laugh)
Kaede　I said "Let's do a little something!" And then he was like: "Okay then, please join THE GALLO." (laugh)

―Did you play with each other's previous bands?
Jojo　That's right. There was that as well...

―According to some sources, Kaede is Jojo's senpai.
Jojo　Hahahaha!!
Kaede　To put it frankly, he was a member of a band my roadie was in. (laugh)
Jojo　Well, I think that the fans also probably know that Kaede is older than us...
Kaede　Is it because I'm doing something differently? (laugh)
Jojo　I guess they probably know because of the atmosphere, but we haven't made any official announcement. (laugh)
Kaede　That might be it, since I'm in a band with those old men [test-No.]

―Well then, you have that big brother image in THE GALLO?
Jojo　Hmmm
Kaede　... I'm hearing this for the first time. (bitter laugh)
Jojo　More like Kaede bro.*
Kaede　That's only you who says that! Everyone thinks that you are a bro here!
Jojo　No way! Every time something comes up, it's like "It was Kaede bro!"
Kaede　You turn me into a bad guy!
Jojo　But somehow it's because you're the busiest. But since there is only Kaede for us, if it's not him, we don't like it.
* aniki - originally yakuza terminology; meaning someone older and more experienced, literally older brother

―In other words, Kaede is the busiest, but you want to be in [the band] with him.
Jojo　But I was really happy. I think I can stand on the stage only because everyone is there.

―It seems like you three [Jojo, Andy, Lulu] have always been in bands together though.
Jojo　 That's right, from the time when we were kids. It wasn't that we were together, we knew each other's faces. I've known Lulu since kindergarten. (laugh)

―Kindergarten!?
Jojo　And Andy since primary school.

―I wonder what it feels like to grow up and be in a band together with people one has known since they were children.
Jojo　Our love for home is strong. (laugh)

―In this case it is understanding each other, thus doing a band together, right? THE GALLO created a great individual worldview, but has it always [even before] been such a harsh worldview?
Jojo　It's because I like harsh. (laugh)

―You don't do sparkly nor even a little happy.
Jojo　Exactly.
Kaede　It's not happy, hmmm.
Jojo　I think that whatever we do, it probably ends up being that way. Even if we did the sparkly... it would become-how should I put it?-a little weird. If it's in this business, we want to be a little heretic.

―What is the meaning of the word THE GALLO?
Jojo　We write the name of the band in katakana, but transcribe it as GALLO in romaji; it's the Italian word for a 'rooster'. It has this"Eh, why a rooster?!" feeling, but Gallo just had a good sound. We even have a song called "Black Roosters". There is a grimoire called Black Pullet [hen] too...

―A grimoire?
Jojo　It really seems there is. By chanting the incantation "Elloim Essaim Elloim Essaim" written in this grimoire, apparently you can invoke an evil spirit. It makes a hen lay eggs. So, isn't "Black roosters" cool? That's why we've been calling ourselves "a flock of black roosters". It's that kind of a strange concept...

―You started your activities in May, released a CD right afterwards and then released another one in September. You produce ... a lot. (laugh)
Kaede　It certainly feels that way. (laugh)
Jojo　Even though we are roosters. (laugh)

―The title of the 1st single is...which one?
Jojo　It's "Mudai."*
Kaede　Because the title of the first song is "Mudai."
*actually means "untitled"

―Contradicting yourself in such place already!
Jojo　Haha! Right! (laugh) But it also means something; what we do is... our works have continuation. Without regard to the previous bands or the present one, I think it would be good if THE GALLO was able to express itself.

―Meaning it doesn't matter where [in what band] Jojo composes his music, it's still Jojo's world?
Jojo　I am Jojo.

―The name of the 2nd single is "Maou".
Kaede　It's a ...bit old-fashioned. Our choice of words.
Jojo　Right.
Kaede　Moreover, all the songs are called "Maou". (laughs)
Jojo　I talked to Andy and we were like "It would be interesting if it was a trilogy, wouldn't it?" That kind of a thing.
*Maou = "The Devil"

―Then these songs are Andy's contribution?
Andy　Well... nah, Jojo's?
Jojo　It happened while the two of us talked, right? If by some chance it becomes a tetralogy, that would be Andy's contribution.

―So it's something like, there is "Maou" as a theme and inside this theme there are more minute scenes?
Andy　For the time being, yeah, there are subtitles [for every song].

―What is the whole image then?
Jojo　The whole image...hmm. "Anti-war" or something like that.

―Isn't it a pretty peaceful theme?
Jojo　It is! But written in a difficult way... (laugh)
Kaede　It's not that our own thoughts become the lyrics. It's certain people in the whirlpool of the settings. Or a certain place. That's why perhaps it's not Jojo's point of view.

―So there is something like a fictional protagonist in the songs?
Jojo　That's right. I guess if you try thinking about it as of one volume of a book, it's easier. First "Mudai" would be a book called "Foreign Brothel". And when you open its door, there is a different world. So for example if you opened the door to your room, it could have been a boutique before, overseas afterwards, something like that.

―Is there a story like that in reality?
Jojo　It's my creation. It's not like I decide one theme. It's tied together with various worlds.

―Like a door that takes you anywhere?
Jojo　Well, yeah. (laugh) To put it simply, "The dora to anywhere"* ... I said Dora. (bitter laugh)
Andy　No good, no good! (laugh)
Jojo　I ended up saying a friend's name. (bright smile)
Andy　Advertising him. (laugh)
Jojo　Hahahahaha!
*どこでもドラ - dokodemodora, Jojo's tongue slips and instead of dokodemodoa - the door to anywhere says a name of his friend Dokodemo Dora - now Dora is in the band Blood (previously in Hibi subete wo nomikomu fukamoka)

―So to say it simply, it's similar to the door to anywhere in Doraemon.*
Jojo　Yeah, that's right.
Kaede　THE GALLO is the building and the songs are the individual rooms.
*Japanese anime

―And when you open the door to a room, you don't know where it leads.
Kaede　So, maybe the lyrics in "Mudai" are the beginning of it all.
Jojo　Exactly.
Andy　That's why "Mudai" is the entrance. (laugh)
Jojo　Clever!

―So for a listener it's like entering THE GALLO?
Jojo　That's right.

―It seems like "THE HOUSE" in a horror movie.
Kaede　Aaah, I know what you mean!

―The house itself is an apparition, so it can happen that for example a piano ends up eating a person.
Jojo　I haven't seen that. Well, I'm being asked whether I watch movies or read books, but I'm the type that doesn't watch at all. I don't watch/read anything except "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure".* (laugh) That or at most "Vagabond" that Andy borrowed.
Kaede　I will lend you "Super Radical Gag Family"*! (laugh)
Jojo　I haven't decided much about the lyrics yet. If I'd decided, it would have ended up being bound by it.
Kaede　For example, even if we didn't make that harsh of a song, if put inside that house called THE GALLO, it could be heard as such.
* both titles are manga

―The subtitles for "Maou" are "Taidou" ["Fetal Movement"], "Kakusei" ["Awakening"], "Maisou" ["Burial"]. It ends up as a life completion.
Kaede　Even so, there is a talk of maybe making a second volume! (laugh)

―Will you really continue?
Jojo　Andy has the compositions!
Andy　For a 4th "Maou".

―So it's a certain direction, right?
Andy　The direction, yeah. (laugh)
Kaede　Oh, but we might change the title!
Jojo　No, no, no! I want to try making at least five songs for "Maou"!
Kaede　Five...!?
Jojo　I have ideas for the subtitles inside me!
Kaede　Like "Revival"? (laugh)
Andy　That'd be too easy. *bitter laughter*
Jojo　But I've been thinking.

―December 21st is the planned day for the release of the new mini-album.
Jojo　That's right! The songs that will be included are...still in a raw form.
Andy　But which songs are going to be used.... we've decided to that extent.

―Even if only a little bit, can you tell us about the content?
Jojo　What about "Songs of love that Jojo writes".

―Love!? What have you written about until now?
Jojo　There were none [about love]. There were none, but these are quite good. Everyone will be surprised probably!

―Now everyone's burst out laughing. (laugh)
Andy　Weee~ll (laughs)
Kaede　I just thought this was a very veteran-like...speech. (laugh)
Jojo　Now everyone is acting dumbfounded, but they don't understand my talent! I think when I die they will all say:　"Ah, that guy was so awesome."
Kaede　Nah, I understand!
Jojo　Kaede understands!

―But aren't Andy and Lulu the ones who have always been watching Jojo?
Jojo　They both understand, but they don't dare to say...?

―So exactly because these two really know you and at the same time are in a band with you, they feel rather sceptical about "Songs of love that Jojo writes"?
Andy　Tha~t's right. (laugh)
Jojo　Like "Eh, you!?" (laugh)
Andy　On the contrary, it's because we know him, we go like "Eh?" (laugh)
Jojo　No, no, no! I want to understand love~ Though, I've been turning in the spiral.
Kaede　It's more like whether or not you can call it "love". (laugh)
Jojo　But I think there are many kinds of love. Not only love stories like they make on TV. Many kinds of love at different times.

―So many meanings. I am really looking forward to this; what it will be like.
Jojo　Please, do look forward to this! (laugh)

―It seems that you've only sold all the CDs you've released until now at the venues where you performed, but what about putting this third mini album out in music stores?
Jojo　We're thinking about that direction. But putting it out into stores... I think it may happen only after the event on the December 21st.

―It was decided that the event for the release of the new record will take place at Takadanobaba Area; is this Andy and Lulu's birthday event?
Jojo　Right! When is Lulu's birthday?
Lulu　December 20th.
Jojo　Andy's?
Andy　It's December 18th.
Jojo　At first we thought of doing 2DAYS - 18th and 19th or 19th and 20th, but our discussions resulted in combining them. We are sorry. They'll be held together as a Christmas present and New Year. (laugh)

―But putting it all together into one will make it very exciting!
Jojo　We are still thinking a little about what to do, but we're considering calling a magician to do some magic or something. (laugh) I have a friend who's a professional magician, he is really great. My proposal to him is shaken though... By things like "Where in Area will I do it?" I'm still worried about that. (laugh)
Kaede　If he can't come, wouldn't it be good if he taught you and you did it?
Jojo　Right, that could work too. (laugh)

―The day's special feature "THE GALLO The Limited" is?
Jojo　It's a DVD.

―And it seems like at first until now you were selling "THE GALLO The Boot" one, two, three, four...
Jojo　 The people who bought all those four DVDs were given a "rooster mark"; then if they all bring it on 21st they can buy "THE GALLO The Limited 2nd Volume". (laughs) On December 21st anyone can buy "THE GALLO The Boot 1st Volume".

―What did you record?
Jojo　The footage from lives was the main part, but what the special feature is I wonder... "THE GALLO The Boot 1st Volume" is a secret.

―Can't you buy all four DVDs at once on the 21st?
Jojo　You can't. There is a limit for the sales on that day.
Kaede　Perhaps we like that kind of project, right? Until September 4th, we had this project where if you bought XYZ, then you got a CD as a present, and that probably felt like getting even stricter.
Jojo　Getting stricter..., but later you can feel the kindness. It would have been good, if you'd come to a live; you could have bought it and brought it.
Kaede　I really think the content is not bad at all.

―People who read this can only buy the first volume of the bootleg now.
Jojo　That's right. We're sorry.
Kaede　If we got around 5000 orders, then we'd reconsider. (laugh)

―So what are your plans for the next year?
Jojo　Next year, probably around March, we might sponsor a show. Then we were thinking about holding 3-month consecutive shows.
Kaede　And maybe we will put an album out. Perhaps, we will show more than this year, won't we? I think that more opportunities to show ourselves will come arbitrarily.

―The number of lives will increase and there will be more tours...
Kaede　And we will collect loads of data.
Jojo　Next year a fifth rooster will... maybe...

―Really?
Jojo　Really. (laugh)

―Eh~?! Isn't this huge news? Won't next year be full of changes?
Jojo　That's right. A lot will change.

―It seems there is a lot that can't be said yet, but what can you say?
Kaede　Hmm, maybe I can say our costumes will change?

―New costumes...
Kaede　And I want to make loads of friends next year.
Jojo　Wait, wait, wait. You totally have friends, right?! (bitter laugh)

―When I went to see one of the sponsored events, I led a meeting and everyone talked to me. Do you like that kind of thing?
Jojo　Talking... I like that. I don't think that everyone hates it. Just the other day, I thought I'd like to try out a project called "Jojo's Bizarre Talkshow" and I did it. Everyone was having so much fun. I don't know whether I'll do it next time or not, but I realized that everyone can talk well.
Kaede　Only I don't see you talking every time, that's why I don't know that.

―I see. What about on the video then?
Kaede　I still haven't seen it all.
Jojo　That image perhaps....!!!!! A place like this is in the video.
Andy　Did you not just give it all away? (bitter laugh)
Jojo　No, no, we have to let them taste it...

―I think that THE GALLO's music, lives and character has a really staggering individuality, and that's why I really want our readers to check the band out as soon as possible. With that in mind we did this interview this time.
Jojo　Certainly, without fail, I want everyone to have a taste of this individual and heretic atmosphere. Come [see us] for sure.
Lulu　Yeah, Pisces.*
Jojo　If you are worried, "Pisces". (laugh)
Andy　Well, if you come, you will get it. Something like that. If you come, you will understand it all.
Kaede　The number of rooms [songs] will gradually increase and I can already feel like our individuality will keep on growing even wider. I think it'd be awesome if you came and we could have fun together.
* Pisces is a sneaky reference to Hikaru, the band's guitarist who hadn't joined yet when this interview was conducted. His zodiac sign is Pisces, and in this interview he is referred to like this as a sort of an inside joke.

Gecko.

[Broken image]

Evening, this is Andy.
[Hokkaido-dialect greeting, "oban desu".]


It's abrupt but


Yesterday, for the first time in my live I saw a gecko.



It was casually hanging on to the car so I was pretty surprised.


It's also a shock that a gecko, which is supposed to protect the home, was protecting the car.
[In Japanese, the word for gecko means "home protector"]



But


Perhaps


That wasn't a gecko


I can't deny that it might have been a newt.



However

Newts protect wells, so newts
[In Japanese, the word for newt means "well protector"]



Are however hard to think of as being on land...



The more I think about it

The mystery gets deeper.



With that, until a little while ago I was in Shimokitazawa to see an acquaintance's live.



I can't deny that I somehow have the feeling I'm coming to Shimokitazawa a lot this month to see lives.




Every-day diligence.


It must be exactly that.



Yeah,

It's like that.

"Starry Night" / Hi-STANDARD

Maou -taidou-

Lyrics: Jojo　Music: Andy
From Maou

English Romaji Japanese

Translation: Ku & Chiva

The Devil -fetal movement-1

Two... Three... Five... Seven...2
When the sun and moon eat each other　You can faintly hear the stars' fetal movement
Two... Three... Five... Seven...
Covered in amniotic fluid I laugh　While hugging my knees quietly in the basement
A vulgar dream that I've seen　I was born beneath the gallows
A vulgar dream that I've seen　oh, beautiful destruction　once more...
Two... Three... Five... Seven...

---

1 The Maou series of songs is a critique of war, centered around WWII.

2 Counting in prime numbers is in homage to the manga, "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean," in which the main villain counts prime numbers to calm himself down. Jojo is a huge fan of the manga series, and the prime number counting is characteristic to the Maou song series.

1 The Maou series of songs is a critique of war, centered around WWII.

2 The original phrase is Namu Amida Butsu, which is a mantra called the "Nenbutsu" and is from the Pure Land Sect of Japanese Buddhism. The belief is that one only has to utter it before death to enter the Pure Land -- heaven, in a nutshell.

3 This line is symbolic; in WWII, the young kamikaze pilots were referred to as flowers, specifically with the image of a fleeting cherry blosoom in mind. The veru "chiru," to fall, refers literally to the way the petals fall from trees and are blown away in the wind, but also metaphorically refer to the way the pilots died.

4 Counting in prime numbers is a nod to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean, in which the main antagonist counts prime numbers as a way to calm himself down.

The Devil -burial-1

The warmth of the stars is pleasant　The explosions I'm already tired of hearing　The corpses I'm tired of seeing
I am jealous of the shining sun and the word "happiness"

The head of the Madonna2 glares at me　The sound of the decadent bells rings out
The lingering scent is chocolate　A new rebirth　A requiem sung in a sore voice
The black rain mercilessly soaks my cheeks　Surely this is a parting gift for my foolish self
The black rain mercilessly soaks my cheeks　Even though "You can be happy" is a lie
One... three... five... seven...3
Under the undone, falling grey sky　Everything’s tainted with lies
Under the undone, falling grey sky　I notice that I am gradually eroding
The black rain mercilessly soaks my cheeks　 Surely this is a parting gift for my foolish self
The black rain mercilessly soaks my cheeks　 Even though "You can be happy" is a lie
The sad rain shows no mercy　Is this really a parting gift for my foolish self?
The rain of sorrow won't go easy on me　 Even though "You can be happy" is a lie
I am jealous of the shining sun and the word "happiness"

The Black Roosters

I'm sure I've had this kind of dream　The basement of the foreign brothel　Among the countless door there, I remember one far on the left
Having stepped foot in here was a more serious crime than anything　A beautiful public execution awaits

I pass the sentence　We are the ones who judge you　We recommend castration, confinement, hanging and such
I pass the sentence　We are the ones who judge you　The jurors sneer　The Last Judgement1 is upon you

Just judgement　Seven-second atonement　The perfect punishment　The perfect purge

We shall devour dreams　We will eat them messily with good manners while making vulgar sounds
We shall devour everything　We just signal the night like usual　Yes, flocking together

After this we sentence you to death　We are dream-eaters　 We recommend castration, confinement, hanging and such
After this we sentence you to death　We are dream-eaters　The jurors sneer　The Last Judgement is upon you

Just judgement　Seven-second atonement　The perfect punishment　The perfect purge

We shall devour dreams　We will eat them messily with good manners while making vulgar sounds
We shall devour everything　We just signal the night like usual　Yes, flocking together

Yes, flocking together

"Welcome to the black world…"

The gallows I recognize from somewhere　This is a land farther than the Orient
That place is a nightmare　The rulers of this world are　"a flock of dream-eating black roosters"

One sheep　Two sheep　Three sheep
Four sheep　Countless sheep...　You dream

The foreign brothel towering before my eyes　It is constantly expanding without reason
There are mechanisms set up in the innumerable rooms　The sequel to the story is told

One sheep　Two sheep　Three sheep
Four sheep　Countless sheep...　You dream

The dream demon calls　Let's meet later in your dreams
I beg the dream demon　like this　may I never wake up

One sheep　Two sheep　Three sheep
Four sheep　Five sheep　Six sheep
Seven sheep　Eight sheep　Nine sheep
Countless sheep...

The dream demon calls　Let’s meet later in your dreams
I beg the dream demon　like this

I plead to the nightmare　Isn't it all right to keep my eyes closed?
I beg the nightmare　like this　may I never wake up

Let's meet in our dreams

The door immediately at top of the stairs　That's all I know
"Boys under the age of thirteen only..."

A woman who often bites her nails　That's your first impression
Her hobby is collecting beautiful boys
A bat dress arranged with crow feathers
Moth larvae for the finishing touches　of course, it's an exquisite item

An invitation to the boutique arrives　"I want to control even your dreams..."
As the rumor goes there are flies darting about the room
"If you don't need me anymore, shouldn't you just cast me aside..."

She'll gouge your eyeballs out　And chew your earlobes to pieces
She'll tear your lips off　And she'll hang them up

Will you help me...?　Will you help me...?
I begged over and over...
Oh God... Oh God...

Su pasatiempo es guardar nenes hermosos
Traje de murcielago arreglado con plumas de cuervos
Larvas de la polilla para últimos retoques　Es una cosa de primera categoria, claro

Llega una invitación para el boutique　"Quiero controlar hasta tus sueños..."
Mientras el rumor va hay moscas volando alrededor del cuarto
"¿Si no me necesitas, no debes tirarme al lado?"

Te va a sacar tus ojos　Y te mordera tus lóbulos de las orejas a pedazos
Te arrancara tus labios　Y los va a colgar

Me puedes ayudar...?　Me puedes ayudar...?

Её хобби - держать красивых мальчиков
Вороньи перья подобраны к платью летучей мыши
В завершение - личинки ночной бабочки
Это, конечно же, превосходная вещь

Мне приходит приглашение в бутик
"Я хочу управлять твоими снами..."

Говорят, что по той комнате кружат мухи
"Не лучше ли выбросить то, что больше не нужно?..."

Она вырвет мне глаза Откусит и раздерёт мочки ушей
Разорвёт губы И развесит всё это

Ты спасёшь меня...? Ты спасёшь меня...?

April 29th

Good evening, this is Andy.

Today was Showa Day.
[A national holiday in Japan.]

However

Until a few hours ago

I thought today was Green Day.

Two years ago Green Day was turned into Showa Day.

I'm starting to not understand Japan very well.

Even so I love Japan.

It's like that.

Mastering

Evenin'

Today was rehearsal but

I witnessed a strange phenomenon

For the first time in a long time.

I pierced

The head of the bass drum...

It forced a prompt termination of rehearsal...

(# ﾟДﾟ)つ〃∩

And,

It's not that someone's bad

But to re-cover it

There isn't much time left to do it w
['w' is often used online as a shorthand way of typing 'lol'; it stands for 'warau'.]

This was the second time I've experienced this.

Regarding a counter-measure to recent spam on my cell phone email

I was a worried Kaede-san but

In accordance with having precisely mastered its functions

It seems I've reduced it.

Ahh,

It's like, I got it.

But just rejecting it

Isn't good enough.

They'll just think of different things and keep sending it.

Facing 5/5

I wonder if we'll improve

The end little by little.

Well, even if I told you who said what

We're seriously doing it this way

Look forward to it

(」゜□゜)」



Kaede

An occasional change-up

[A change-up is a kind of baseball pitch where the thrown ball changes speed.]

It's Lulu-san (Ｗ∞・V)ノ

Well I want

To sleep completely (´∩ω∩｀)

I came to eat ramen with Mr. Jojo

At the shop where we always request salt

It's an adventure of soy sauce flavors ☆

What soy sauce

That wasn't like soy sauce

Was original (ﾉ´∀｀)ノ

The roasted pork flavor

Was also super delicious (*´ω｀*)

On the other hand, Mr. Jojo

Seemed displeased (´-ω-｀)

I mean I've known it since long ago but

My blog

Is just about food (・∀・)

Well, that's it

I'm happy when I eat tasty things (ﾉ´ω｀*)

I want to eat tasty gyoza ♪

Before that I want to go home and sleep

I'm sleepy to the max

Since my night starts now

Batter up (´つω-｀)

[Hokkaido-dialect greeting]



Today I participated in a meeting with kaede, the drummer.

We had a live in Urawa.


I am truly grateful


to everyone who came, to all the staff, to the other bands, and to everyone at the live house.


I'm also really grateful for the provisions.


Today's live was the first in about a month.


It was the first live at Narciss in about half a year.


So it was also kind of nostalgic


There were also people from the other bands I haven't seen in a while.


Nostalgiccc!!


I was full of that feeling.


Well, after this and that, here's today's set list.


1. Mudai

Good morning; this is No-name, who slept for around 12 hours for the first time in a long time.



Today's the live in Urawa.



It seems like we'll have an important announcement but


Personally

I play on doing my best today anyway.



It's like that.

Tomorrow might be snowy.

Good evening; this is No-name.


Before now I'd thought it was warm, but


The cold has returned, huh.


Moreover, it's like it might snow tomorrow.


Guys, don't fall down.


And well,


I'm thinking I'll do my best facing the 25th.


It's like that.


Oh, one more thing


Everyone in Tokyo







Don't fall down.

Today's song
Kuroi Ondori / Tokyo Himitsu Club

At the studio.

The first meal of the day.


Like a ten-second charge.



Well,


Maybe I'll do my best.


It's like that.

[Hokkaido-dialect goodbye]

Good morning.

It's been a while; this is No-name.


Lately the relatively warm days are continuing.


It looks like today's high will be 17 degrees.



It's like spring.



Believe it or not, I like spring.


Well, that


I'll quietly wait for the coming of spring


Is what I'm thinking.



It's like that.

Counters.

Greetings; this is No-name.


February has come.


A month has already passed since entering the new year.


The way of counting months is ~gatsu

The way of counting rabbits is ~ba

The way of counting ants is ~tou

New year's gifts is ~fuu

Sugar is ~kin, ~kamasu, or ~kan


Depending on the item there are totally different ways of counting them.


I'm thinking Japanese is lovely.


It's like that.

Ants and bees.

It's been a while; this is No-name.


For several days now I've had something of a cold


I'm kind of knocked down.



I'm already relatively well now but


Everyone,


Take plenty care not to catch a cold or anything.



Well then,


Actually, lately, while struggling with illness

I looked up a little about ants and bees;


It's a pretty deep thing


I'm thinking now.


Putting it simply, ants and bees are of the same category;


Actually their behaviors and such are really similar.


Moreover, it seems like ants are frightening to other insects


And it looks like there are a lot of insects that camouflage themselves as ants.


Yeah,

It's really deep.


...so I can't really help writing a lot about this kind of thing so


I'll leave it at that.



Okay!


Heading towards next month's live


I can only be in high spirits!


It's like that.

Yesterday was the live.



I am truly grateful


To everyone who came, to all the staff, to all the other bands, to everyone at the live house


And to Morimori-san.



And, I am really grateful for the provisions and letters, too.



Well then, yesterday's live



I get the feeling it's been a really long time since we've played original songs.



Of course, it's nicer to have played original songs.



I don't know yet when in February the next live is but



I'm thinking that I'd like to deliver all original songs then.



Okay,


I'll do my bestt!



It's like that.

First snow.

Good morning; this is No-name.



Yesterday, it looks like the first snow of the season fell in Tokyo.


There was somewhere I kind of wanted to go yesterday but

Facing the 21st, I can't waste my time on trifling matters, but



Somehow it feels like something good will happen.



While thinking about it I looked outside;


There was frost casually falling down.



Everyone, let's do our best today to keep from falling ill.


It's like that.

Now, I'm composing this blog from the land of the north.

Oh dear,


It's really cold.


It's so cold it's piercing my heart.



Well at any rate


I think I want to enjoy the land of the north to the fullest.


It's like that.
