I think it's some law of the universe that only bandmen actually use band stickers XD The rest of us weirdos just hoard them.

i don't have anything to put them on... except for other band stickers

My internet always has encoding problems whenever I go to the Chemical Pictures main site and so all the venues and all useful information about when lives are is jumbled in weird characters... :cry:

I just wanna say how awesome it is of Inertia to come to the Shibuya ga taihen festival for bands that were not us that seemed to be playing at relatively convenient times for her, and then stayed 'til the end to see us and seemed to enjoy herself. Seeing someone I know in the crowd, it's thrilling.

My journey over here in music is about a lot of things but it is also about hopefully being able to entertain people I care about, so it makes me extra glad when people I care about even more (like, say, all y'all peeps) are excited, if not more excited than even I am.

Next show is Saitama Kaikan on the 15th~

^ This is ridiculously late, but I just saw this post....

I wanted to go to that festival, was completely planning on it and everything, but it happened two days before I left and I discovered that I still wasn't packed, hadn't paid off my insurance, and had to go do a lot of not fun government stuff in order to get out in one piece. I felt so bad- the day of the show I kept looking at the clock while I was working thinking you guys must have been playing. *sigh*

Anyway, I suppose you could say my karma for missing the concert was missing my flight out of japan and spending two days in Narita a complete wreck with extremely strained muscles that I'm still dealing with weeks later and not being able to sleep for over 4 days straight. ::meev::

One thing I'd like to ask though, is how was the reaction to the performance? It would have been an extremely large crowd filled with 99% of people who had never heard of you until that day. Did you manage to nab new fans, you think? And how did it go on the 15th? :O

Hey Elec, congrats on the commercial~ it's freaking awesome. the entire thing. i wish it was a bit longer- like the music ends just as i want it to continue. which was probably the goal hahaha

Bad news indeed. (And good ones; Congratulations for your single to sell well!)

Good luck for you guys that you'll find someone new to replace him and will be able to have a good "comeback".
Also good luck for Schwarz and whatever he is planning for his future.

Bandmen think they can just join and quit bands willynilly! ::hora::

(we are trying to get it available overseas, but the distributor is fucking up. thats as polite as i can put it. management is trying their damndest. in the meantime feel free to pirate it until theres a way to buy it legally; let my label know there are foreigners who want to buy it, etc etc. every little bit helps in this weird transition into the modern age of music business for small bands :))

(also im really, really glad you like it)

All 3 of those songs are really solid. It's nice that your bass is so discernible (I hate when it gets pushed way to the back of the mix) and I like the funky bassline in Praparat in particular. (I'm not kissing your ass - I married a bass player so I always pay a lot of attention to bass).

+1 for the appreciation of the funky bass style in Praparat. This song sure is a treat for any bass lover :). I also like the song's overall structure; it's not too linear as so many songs are nowadays. Good job, and looking forward to your future works !
