Day 5: Osaka

Hey Everyone!

in Osaka, at the hotel. It's morning and this is the 3rd time I'm writing this stuff. The web-browser automatically sets the language here to japanese so I can't understand a friggin word on here...it's all hit and miss with this. We´re also having some trouble to find the internetconnection+time to update this thing...we'll do our best!


Arrived here late last night after 7 hours of driving from Fukuoka, where we played on Wednesday. The show at decatant delax in Fukuoka was amazing and both bands were at the very top of the game!! Great surprise to us not to sell more than a few copies of "This is a copy..." but it explained itself soon enough. Apparantly most of the people at the show already had our cd's, so they bought t-shirts and our tour - cdr's instead! Kono reports that we've sold more than one thousand copies of the new album here and that the number keeps growing steadily. Fantastic news!!

After the show we had a party to celebrate the tour and to get to hang out with the YMDITD-guys for more than show/soundcheck/backstage. We've been travelling in two different cars and staying at different places up until now.

We (most of us) soon found ourselves at a karaoke-bar and there is photo-evidence of severe throatdamaging/earshattering activities.
We're having some trouble uploading pictures but we'll work it out asap.

Yesterday we went to TOWER RECORDS in Fukuoka and checked out our cd's on display and signed at greetingcard for our fans there, first time ever! After that we went and bought some strings+equipment and cursed our thin wallets because everything at that music-store was like half the price of back home. The americans weren't too impressed tho, their prices is about the same...the bastards.

Tried to cure a raging hangover in the car to Osaka...7 hours in a van designed for japanese people isn't the easiest thing in the world. The seats are way too low so we kind of sit with our knees in our faces all the time.

Today we play a club called Drop and we're hoping for a good turnout. If you're close by Osaka, come on over to the Drop-club and we'll have a good time.

Until next time!!
