[USA Tour Photo Collection]
We finally got all the photos organized!
For now, this will be the final post in our USA tour recap series. (I mean, for now😁)
It was truly a happy and incredibly blessed tour.
We felt God’s guidance in every moment.
And throughout the entire tour, we were supported by all of you. We felt your love everywhere we went.
We did all of this for one purpose: to keep rocking with sincerity, to focus not on success but on the message, and to spread the love of Jesus Christ.
And I truly believe we were able to share that message with many people through our music.
As I went through all these photos and made these collages, I realized just how many friends we made on this tour.
We couldn’t possibly include every moment.
There are also many people who couldn’t make it into these photos.
But we love you all.
You may not believe this, but we have been playing as an independent band for a very long time.
So amazingly, this was actually our seventh time touring the USA as a band — even though all of our tours have been small independent tours.
(Those were in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2022, 2024 and 2026) (In 2013-2016, we focused on Japan and toured with The Extreme Tour Japan)
For our young drummer Kenshin, who is 21, this was his first tour and his first time in America.
But right now, we are feeling something really amazing.
I feel like this tour opened a new door for us as a band.
Now we are going to enter another creative phase.
We won’t be playing as many live shows for a while. Instead, we want to focus on creating — on making music.
We don’t know how long it will take.
But we will come back with an amazing “Christian Samurai” album.
This USA tour taught us so many things.
And now, once again, our attention is turning toward one important question:
How can we share Jesus with the people of Japan?
Please pray for Japan.
And please pray that the world will be filled with love, and that the peace of Christ will come to everyone.
Thank you, truly, truly, from the bottom of our hearts!
