What's New

dfer vol.2.
I had a gig last night. Crucial Section, Strange Factory, Band Of Acuse, The Marvelous, Asmodeus, Goum, The Tolchockers, and Amnesea played. All the bands was really awesome, especially, Goum got many attentions from audiences. They become better and better day by day. I'm proud of them. Check out their new album which will be out in July from Narm Discos. Band Of Acuse got a new bass player (they were three pieces before), so the sound got heavier and more powerful. They finally recorded a new demo cd-r. Yes, that's really good! Noisy d-beat smasher!! Strange Factory is always great. No Nuke from Fukushima. Asmodeus played more darkly and heavily than before and covered Anti-Authorized song!

What's your National flower?
Most countries would have one or more National flower. Ours are Cherry Blossoms (a.k.a. Sakura) and Chrysanthemum (Kiku) in Japan. The season of Sakura is Spring. Now you can see it many places in all over Japan including Tokyo. Because we plant Cherry Blossoms along rivers and streets, so they look nice when walking underneath. But, they are a very weak kind, so they fall down when rain drops. Unfortunately, it's always raining and windy in this season every year, so we can enjoy them in very short time. Hanami is one of the enjoying way in Japan. "Hana" means flower and "Mi" means watch. We watch Sakura and have a party under it.

Thank you.
I just wanted to say thank you to this news letter everytime. Some of you reply with your thoughts or just to say hi to me. That makes me very happy, and I feel I need to work harder than before. Life is not an easy load for me. I'm becoming 33 years old next month. I imagined I would have been married by 30 years old and had one or two kids when I was a teenager, but it didn't happen by now. I dreamed my business became more successful than this moment when I started. I thought things would go more easily when I was a student. The imagination and real are very different, and most of time the result is disappointing. But, I believe I live how I want to, and this news letter is now my routine. I'm not thinking to stop this so far, and here is the place to show what I have thought or experienced every 3 or 4 days. I really appreciate to have a reader like you, and keep in touch.

Mr. Takayama.
I like Framtid very much. I've been into thme since I found and bought their 1st demo in 2002 at D.I.Y. record shop. I showed it to my friends in California, and all of them also liked it very much. They are going to play with Gauze this month in Tokyo. I'm looking forward to it. The drummer Mr. Takayama (a.k.a. Shin) also plays in Nightmare. Nightmare came last week and is coming the end of this month. My friend told me that he came as dj few weeks ago. He lives in Osaka which is about 500 km (310 miles) away from Tokyo, and he comes once two weeks. I'm thinking if he may move to Tokyo like Crow did in the past. If so, I will be able to see more good gigs.
