Goodmorning, Cruel World!

Hellooooo!! How's your new year, everyone?!

Mine's been pretty good so far, though I really need my parents to stop feeding me now XD

Yesterday out official homepage was finally finished! You can find it here:

I'm gonna put up a link in the sidebar too ofcourse^^
It it in Japanese, but if you can't read Japanese the live schedule is still pretty readable, and you know you could also use it as practice for your Japanese ;D

It's also official that our new album, "Goodnight, Cruel World", will be out on March 19., on iTunes too^-^
And our release party will be at (guess where) Shinjuku Headpower, on March 20.!
There's gonna be a lot of awesome bands, and also us, so if you're in Tokyo please come and watch!
Tickets can be reserved through my e-mail address up there (to the right) or even by commenting, I speak English :P You can contact me about whatever else you want too ofcourse.

We also had an announcement on Splatter Records official site:

Seriously, this picture lol.
The link is here: http://splatter-records.com/

I'm packing my stuff today, getting ready to go back to Japan. Crossing my fingers that everything will work out fine (I'm always nervous, and I hate flying).
Going shopping today too, to buy some edible gifts!

That's all really. See you (hopefully) on the other side of the world!

Some decisionmaking and changes!

Hi! I haven't updated in a while, and today when I was in the car coming home from our first gig in Osaka, I made a decision.
First of all, I'm going to be writing this blog in English from now on (most Norwegians understand English anyway) and secondly, because I don't have much free time lately I'm going to prioritize writing about band stuff. Not exclusively, but mostly.
Both these things mean that mean that my blog will probably be a little less personal than before (which might be a good thing anyway) but I will definitely take the opportunity to keep writing things that I can't put in my Japanese blog or on twitter.
I really hope that you will keep following me, and also hope to make some new blog friends in the future!

Hilsen Inger

Here's a few little clips from the live at Osaka Club Drop:

This is us right before going on stage... these are the guys' go to-poses :P
It's stagetime!!

It was a pretty good live, even though we were all a little nervous. It wasn't just the first time playing in Osaka, but also the first time performing our new song THE BALLAD (　ﾟдﾟ)
That's not the name of the song, it's just kind of a scary thing to do the first ballad ever. It's called Phantom Pain, and I'll post the lyrics later, we're not sure if they will be changed a little bit^^
It actually went really well and everybody loved the song.

 There were, of course, a lot of other cool bands playing as well. Amongst them Phonicline, who are now on the tour for their first single, Daydream.

They were great, as always!

The boy who drew our fanart came to the live. He had originally said he might not be able to make it, I'm so glad he did. We signed his drawing, and then he gave us these laminated little cards that he'd made of the drawing.

 This is now in my wallet (^-^)
He also brought some chocolate cake thingies for Tomoyas birthday.

Lol, Kentos chewing face.
I know he won't read this, but thank you so so much!

Ofcourse we had to get some Osaka specials while we were there. It seems like Osaka is kind of famous for just any food being delicious, but I always hear about takoyaki. I don't like tako(octopus), but fortunately okonomiyaki is also an Osaka special, so we got one each with different fillings and ate it outside the live house. It was so good!

 I know it doesn't look very delicious XD It looks like a mess, but it was really good!

Afterwards we went inside to catch the last performances and see Dj Tekken end the show.
Everyone were so drunk, including the DJ XD

And then it was the afterparty.
We were all pretty exhausted, plus we had a long car ride home, so we couldn't party as much as we wanted to, but I think we made some new friends.
This guy who works at Club Drop wanted us to come back and play at his birthday event. It made me so happy, 'cause it's the first time he sees us and he liked it so much he wanted us to be one of his personally chosen bands.
Unfortunately it's in January, and I will just be back from Norway with almost a month without practice, so we had to decline :(
But we are planning to go back next year, probably after the new album is released.

I just made so many good memories this time, it's too bad we have so little time. The car ride is truly a bitch, even for me who doesn't drive, but it was really worth it! Can't wait to go back!

Now I have to get ready to go to Headpower, because we thought it was a good idea to have another concert on the same day we came back from Osaka.... Have to gather some streanght. And put on some clothes.

Peace!

Rock and roll, baby, don't you know that we're all alone now, I need something to sing about

 Det er ikke bare blåmerker man får, det hender man får myggestikk også... og det ser ut som utslett og er helt grusomt O__O Men det er for varmt til å gå med langbukser eller tjukke strømper, så jeg får bare gå rundt og se spedalsk ut.

Denne uka har Face faktisk hatt hele TO fridager, og en av dem var til og med fredag!

På fredag hadde jeg min første dag med jobbing for JOY English, som jeg skulle ønske jeg hadde sagt nei til fra begynnelsen. Jeg kom for seint så klart, fordi timen min slutter 15 minutter etter toget jeg må ha, og det var skikkelig føkkings langt. Jeg hadde håpa på at de også ville føle at dette ikke kom til å funke, men da jeg først var der var det ikke så værst. Kidsa er søte lissom, men det er slitsomt å holde på i en hel time, og det er distraherende at mødrene dems sitter inne i klasserommet og ser på, både for meg og dem.

Da jeg var ferdig tok det meg nesten to timer å komme meg derfra til Shimoki, og jeg var sliten og sulten og omtrent klar til å drepe alle på toget da jeg endelig, en busstur og TRE togturer seinere var hjemme hos typen.

Følte meg litt bedre da jeg møtte han og han tok meg med for å spise og leie film.

 Også ble det helg denne uka og ^-^

På søndag var det Rokku no hi (Day of Rock) og det var konserter over alt! Tomoya og jeg bestemte oss for å dra til Yokohama Bay Hall, som i fjor, fordi Nicotine skulle spille!!

Av en eller annen grunn blir jeg alltid sliten og tung i kroppen når jeg er der, men er glad jeg dro! Nicotine var feite, og de spilte Remember til slutt!!

Remember er en av låtene som vi, SALTY DOG spilte på vår første konsert noen gang, på skolefestivalen på Josai!

Det er gøy med Rokku no hi på Bay Hall, for det er arrangert av Stance Punks og det er mye mer pønkete band enn jeg vanligvis ser og en del band jeg aldri har sett før.

Knock Out Monkey var ikke helt like kule som jeg huska dem og jeg ble litt skuffa over Who the Bitch, men fikk sett et band som heter JUNIOR, som var bra gærne og ganske feite.

De er into skotsk/irsk pønk, og hadde sekkepipe, trekkspill, munnspill og til og med irsk tinnfløyte, pluss et vaskebrett som han med det grønne håret slo seg i huet med :P

De hadde alle på kilt og hadde hver sin sære stil. Minna meg litt om Igirisujin, bare en mye eldre verson:P

Jeg var underholdt vaffel XD

Trommisen i bandet til Yokohamaspøkelset var der, så jeg var først litt nervøs, men så huska jeg at han var jo der i fjor også. Men så begynte alle de andre i bandet å dukke opp også og jeg ble litt klammere. Jeg har ikke no problem med dem, de er hyggelige gutter, snakka til og med litt med dem. Men jeg kan ikke møte Han ennå, kanskje aldri.... han dukka heldigvis ikke opp, og etter ROACH måtte jeg kaste inn håndkleet og dra hjem uansett, jeg var så sulten at jeg holdt på å dø, og snack inne i hallen kosta 500en for en liten boks med pomfri.

Her er et bilde av ROACH da:

På grunn av skoleavgiften jeg måtte betale forrige måned har jeg nå bare 20 000en å leve på resten av måneden. Vi får se hvordan det går. Ramen challange begynte i dag. Ramen til frokost, lønsj og middag... hurra...

Har vaffel fått søkt om lån nå.

Her er en soyasausdispenser som jeg syntes lignet så vildt mye på en dalek... jeg veit virkelig ikke hvorfor f^^

Exterminate!!!!!
