Finally, we finished uploading all the movies using the last year material. Since we came back from the last year tour, we had so many things going on in our personal life. We had to face those things. It was something we had to face and now we have …
We’ve kept uploading our movie materials again this week. It’s kind of funny because our friends from The Extreme Tour already started this year’s tour in USA/Canada, while we are still uploading movie from last year. We feel kind of being left behind but we know we are not. …
I know it’s actually funny we are still uploading these tour videos from last year now. But it took us some long time to check and edit them. This year fall, in October, we are going to do this “The Extreme Tour” in Japan. We are really praying for …
We can’t help but post this. Hideki Yoshimura, singer/guitarist from “bloodthirsty butchers”, our most favorite Japanese rock band, has passed away at age 46. Whole Japanese rock community was shocked and saddened at the news. His music inspired many Japanese rock bands, especially indie/underground bands like …
bloodthirsty butchersの吉村秀樹が亡くなってしまった。 書かずにはいられない。 僕はいつも、日本で一番好きなロックバンドはbloodthirsty butchersだと言い続けてきたが、 どちらかといえば、 あれもこれも好きだけどブッチャーズが一番好き、 というのではなく、 むしろ bloodthirsty butchersこそが唯一好きな日本のロックバンドだったのだ。 ちょっとでも流行っているものや、嘘くさいものはどうしても毛嫌いしてしまう ひねくれた嗜好をしている僕だけれど、 ブッチャーズだけは、本当に好きになることができたのだ。 僕は日本のミュージシャン、バンドでいうと、 1970年代は荒井由実、 1980年代はEarthshaker、 1990年代は熊谷幸子、 2000年代はbloodthirsty butchers が好きなバンドだ、 と言い続けているけれど、 ことその中で、 2000年代に自分のバンドを始め、 同時代を歩きながら接してきたこと、 そして何度もライヴを見てきたこともあって、 bloodthirsty butchersは それらの大好きな日本人ミュージシャンの中でも もっとも身近なバンドだった。 46歳、そしてこのタイミング、 とても早過ぎる旅立ち、 それは間違いない。 それについての感慨や、考えは、 とても文章にして書けるはずもない。 バンドページの英語のコメントには、 言葉の問題もあって陳腐なことしか書いていない、 けれども、 そこに書いたように 彼らはその長いキャリアの中で 決してポピュラーなバンドではなかった 流行したりしたこともない …
As we are working on plenty of new songs in a rehearsal room and gigging locally in Yokohama, we are uploading those movies from The Extreme Tour last year. (Because, you know, touring in USA is a big thing for a Japanese band. Those movies are important history of …
Video editing takes time. I know that for sure. It was August-September 2012 we took part in The Extreme Tour 2012. And we finally finished editing movies from that tour and started uploading them to YouTube. Live performance movies, I’m not sure if people like them or not. …
Video editing takes a lot of time. It’s very funny we’re still working on editing movies from our tour last year. We also want to upload some more songs to YouTube for free listen, but in the meantime, here is the song “Precious” live performance from the church concert last …
Hi, this is Tak, from the band Imari Tones, a Christian rock band from Japan. It’s been a while but I give you some little update about our band and our activity. (日本語が下にあります) 1. New songs and new release plan 2. Hard Rock Rising Contest 3. The Extreme …
It’s been a while since we posted the last time! Some of you may know, but Tak has been dealing with his personal family issues. He is okay, don’t worry. As he gigging with his side-project “Atsuki Ryo with Jesus Mode” (check the website here, http://www.kitchenkniferecords.com/jesusmode/), he is now making …
