The worst day in 2012.

It was my girlfriend's birthday last Wednesday. I asked her to come to my apartment to celebrate, and I went out for the dinner meeting. I had a good time with my business partners and drank just few glasses of beer and a glass of of hot Shouchu (traditional Japanese alcohol). We got out of the restaurant and went to a bar to make ourselves a little bit warmer. I had just several glasses of whisky, yes, just a little bit, as long as in my memory.. When I woke up, I was in a room. That was nowhere I knew. I was in a bed with clothes which I wore last night. My jacket was thrown away on the floor. The time was around 9 o'clock in the morning......... I was passed away, my partner took me to the hotel, and my girlfriend left calls, calls, and calls to my cellphone during the night.

Recording.

GOUM started recording for their new mini album. I cannot wait to have it in hand. By the way, I like the atomosphere of recording studio. I can listen to music from good amplifiers and speakers, and everybody is in nice tense. I made mistakes very much when I was in bands. Members blamed each other, didn't satisfied with the sounds, talked about sleeve designs, gigs, people who purchased it... Such conversations are fun and unforgettable, good memory.

Chilean Hardcore is burning!

How are you doing in 2012 so far? I started a diet about a week ago. It was about 70kg = 31.76 pounds in the beginning. I have had only vegetable soup for every breakfast and dinner and eat whatever I like for lunch. It worked and the weight became under 65kg = 29.50 pounds this morning, and fat around my belly was slightly gone. I think that is good enough right now, so now I try to keep the weight and think what is the best diet to keep it.
The great stuff is arrived from my friend Matias in Chile. Violencia Inminente has recorded new songs, and they are sick! The up-tempo with noisy guitar rules. Yes, they sing in Spanish and remind me great Hispanick Hardcore legends. The artwork is brutal as hell. They are looking for a label to release.

Hamlet.

I watched Hamlet directed by Laurence Olivier on DVD. Well, Laurence Olivier is a nice man, Basil Sydney is an asshole but acting very like that, Jean Simmons is cute of course, and Eileen Herlie is beautiful. It's about 150 minutes and so pretty longer, but once it played I forgot time goes by. The best part of this movie is that I can still get impressed from which was made more than 60 years ago! Good movies are good for long as well as music. Once you get into arts, you cannot get out and think about it all the time like collecting vinyls!

Good band from Poland!

I've talked about Polish Punk. The great Polish Hardcore Punk ALERT! ALERT! is now ready for their debut 7"! They sound like good 80's Finnish HC with great old school recording condition! Their mp3 blew my head. I'm going to get it! Here is the label where you can get a copy.

Clean 'em up!

How are you doing today? I'm very busy last a couple of days. We are having a new year celebration soon. That's a party with family, relatives, friends, guests and etc.. You know party is quite fun. Meeting them, talking, drinking and eating good, doing some games. But, that's on a new year day. We have "Oosouji" in the end of a year. Oosouji means clean up your house, room, office, cars and all other belongings. It's a very tough work. I'm not used to doing such as wiping windows, washing cars or cleaning shelves up. That's because I don't usually do them. Well, that's why we have such cleaning event once a year. Our daily lifestyle is pretty much routine. We clean up where we usually use or places which are visible for somebody else. But, those which we rarely pay attention are also getting dirty and dusty. So, once a year we clean them up and welcome a new year. Well, I had a muscle pain this morning. :( A happy new year to you!

Polish Hardcore Punk.

I bought Armia "Legenda" LP. This is great. I've been following them since they were the former band Siekiera. I know only few things about Polish Hardcore Punk. Fala comp is one of the best compilation that hits my head and influenced to my Hardcore life in the youth. Dezerter, Siekiera, and Armia are still my heavy rotation. In 90's I was very into Homomilitia. The mad female vocals are my favorite. I haven't caught up recent Polish bands, but definitely I will soon because they must be simply great. Let's get back to Armia. The album contains 10 songs, and all the songs just keep thrashing along with D-beat. Play is tight as hell. Vocals sound not very much angry but remind sad feelings. There are some wind instrument in few songs, and they sound like traditional Polish ones and give more loneliness. The entire album is made in depressing thrash D-beat. I like this very much.

What do you do on December 25th?

What do you do on Christmas? I'm spending time with my girlfriend. There are not so many christians in Japan. A statistic shows Japanese christians are about 2.5%. The most believed religion is Shinto which is 82.3%, and second is Buddism which is 75.3%. If those scores are simply added, the total becomes more than two hundred million people, but the number is nearly double the population of Japan. Isn't this strange? The reason why is that many of us are "Syncretism" which means to combine more than one religion. I believe more than 70% of Japanese is it, so we go to shrines, which belongs to Shinto, and temples, which belongs Buddism, case by case. For example, we go to a shrine to pray for a new year on January 1st and a temple when someone in close relations died. So, we are basically free and open for religions. I'm not sure but it could be possible that we may be combining Christians or other religions in the next decades. ha. By the way, I'm also both Shinto and Buddism but celebrating Christmas day because it's a strange Japanese custom.
