Back in Japan, Break, Moving, Shows

Hi there, how are ya?

So we came back to Japan safe and sound about 10 days ago, and are now taking a little break.

And while we’re on this nice little break, I found the time to move into a new place with a friend of mine. Purdy cozy n nice, eh?

And while we’re on this nice little break, I found the time to go see the Japan tour of the U.S. bands Eskimo Hunter, Ceremony, and Screen Vinyl Image who we played with in Philly on this past tour. A great night.

Bought their CD and T-shirt and pins.

After all the touring (which I’m paying for) and moving and purchasing stuff, currently I’m extra broke.
What can I say, musicians live to lose money!

And of course, after playing with/watching all these shoegazer bands, I started writing a shoegazer song myself, or my take on that particular style of music.

Speaking of my take, I had gotten inspiration for “Forgive My Penis” and “… and You Got My Penis Hurt” (both on “Unacceptable Vegetable” album, 2007, available on iTunes and CDBaby if you haven’t heard ‘em yet) from my friend’s garage rock band. These two songs are pretty emotional and catchy and with some garage dirt. But with my twisting and tweaking they somehow came out slightly crooked.

The aforementioned new shoegazer song, temporarily titled “Blowjobs are Only for Boyfriends” inspired by a certain sexy American female friend of mine somewhere in Midwest, which you might hear on our next album or tour, will surely appeal to your slightly crooked ears as well. Stay tuned.

Talk to ya next time.

Love,
Aki
