Morning. Just because you don't notice it yourself... there are many ... stones in the world. _____ "How to be likely to experience sleep paralysis"

①Sleep since 10pm till 7am (got plenty of sleep here!)

②Sleep since noon till evening

③Endure not being sleepy, go to bed at 10

④Sleep paralysis occurs

This is how I have been able to achieve sleep paralysis 99% of the time... but even if I did it, not a single cool thing happened _____

This is the snare drum I've been using on the acoustic & rockabilly tour. Beyond Shimano's maple. Lately I have been looking for something that makes a hard and "kin!" kinda sound, so I've mainly been using metal things, but this guy's pretty honorable. Particularly for the acoustic set, I'm looking for a more "Was it the~re" sound. _____ Anyway, green is my favorite color. Green or yellowish green over a black background is the coolest! I wonder if green is a major color on a global scale. _____ acoustic&rockabilly oneman tour BOOGIE CAT'S NIGHT Today was Yokohama, Music Lab. Hamashobou

Everyone from Hama you were amazing. It felt very comfortable. Did you enjoy the music too? Thank you! _____ If you eat potato chips along with gum, your gum will disappear! But that combination of food is just the worst! _____ If you eat gum with chocolate, it will disappear as well. That moment of collapsing common sense is so indescribably sudden... _____ We have finished three lives from the acoustic & rockabilly tour. We have the rockabilly arrangement, but many songs are just vocals and guitar and they feel really fresh and uncomplicated. The raw feeling of each moment at the lives is also strong. Yesterday during "piropo", a chorus battle suddenly broke out, lol. I want to make it a tour that can be enjoyed freely and thoroughly. _____ During making of our next album CLUB FLEURET, I have come to like and enjoy playing drums even more. There is a two bass approach we have not done before, there are progressive rock songs that feel quite like capturing a dungeon*, ... this is a dense work packed with things extracted out of me that do not come out of me naturally.

(*mmorpg reference?) _____ This new album CLUB FLEURET is finished now. A piece of work that is the grand sum of the four of us. It goes on sale October 11, and an album tour is next That it's the best now,.. I'd like you to come to a live, and to understand for yourself. http://www.liphlich.com/schedule/67886/ _____ New Album CLUB FLEURET

At last we have created an album that only the four of us could have made. It's the best album we've had! This time, we've cut out real raw songs. On 9/17, general tickets for the tour go on sale, so please...! _____ This time we created a new album CLUB FLEURET

Speaking of albums, Two albums ago, for "Hebi deare o wo kurae", I didn't participate in making songs because it was right after I had joined.

Our last album "Hatsumei" was made aiming for things we individually didn't have.

This one's crossed right over those, so we are really confident in it.

_____ The album is done Promoting IT IS DONE _____ If you stack ten azuki bars*, you can chop them in half kinda like in karate... and then they become just the right size to be easy to eat. (*seems to be a type of azuki bean popsicle)

[photo] 【Accepting raffle priority tickets for ship live ! !】 This year we do Tokyo/Osaka! (There are two performances in Tokyo) Until 7/30! Last year it was so. The venue this time is at sea. While drifting on the waves, listening to LIPHLICH live is special. Again, there isn't just the live, but there's something after the live too. Order quickly. _____ Our acoustic tour starts in September! Tickets are only being sold for Kobe and Fukuoka. This time the theme is rockabilly, so I think that compared to our acoustic lives from before, there will be more liveliness. Even on a simple set we can make it a massive ensemble! We want to surprise even ourselves. _____ I want many people to come see us in Kobe and Fukuoka too so order, ne.

Ebisu LIQUIDROOM is soon. This performance dyed in the colors of Youki na Noir, the new song, new image, the arrangement for this live, is surely, no, absolutely worth seeing fully, so go to Ebisu LIQUIDROOM on 7/23. Enjoy Noir Spectacle for sure. ______ I want many people to listen to it.

Goes on sale 7/26 New single Youki na Noir

A new piece of music going on sale!! New music is the beginning of a new era for a band!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkFyS9Bb7TA ______ Good morning Youki na Noir is a reference to Showa era Group Sounds* rock; the sound is modernistic, leaving a feeling of a nice old-timey beat. It's retro-modern. For me, there isn't much drumming done, so I put emphasis on whether the song would be enlivened

■MV full https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkFyS9Bb7TA

(*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_Sounds - Group sounds is a silly wasei eigo word to name a style of rock popular in Japan in the 60s, that paved the way for modern Japanese rock.) ______ I happened to see a western-spirit-like inteview article with some drummer from somewhere, who was like, "Rather than drumming complicated phrases, I'm much happier when people on the floor dance thrusting their hips to the beat (laugh)", and there are times when I also felt like that (laugh) *

(*in this sentence, he uses the word 欧米ノリ twice. I literally could not for the life of me find any better way to somehow put it into the translation, so I'm just telling you here. With Mic we came up with the translation 'Western esprit', and it seems to be ... when westerners react nonchalantly with jokes to their fuckups where a japanese person would apologize, or joke inappropriately...? If anyone knows for sure, please let me know, I'm dying to have this explained better to me. In the end after the laugh he uses it again, likely to signify that he considers him feeling like that very western-like, but any way I tried to put it there came out awkward as hell, so I'm just.. oldschool tellin ya :< ) ______ Because of the intense sunlight, I'm already in teriyaki state. Speaking of which, at the farewell lunch there was teriyaki chicken. "Farewell lunch" The number one japanese word with a sad future in it. I hear the rainy season has started in Kanto but it doesn't feel like rainy season! I hate rainy season so that's OK! ______ Tomorrow the regular ticket sale for the acoustic oneman lives starts! There are only a few left, I want everyone from around the country to see a live in this form~ This is the first time for me to be doing a oneman tour in acoustic form, so it'll have a charm!

[the acoustic & rockabilly tour info] _____ On sale today! In an acoustic live there is less sound, so the /direct/ feeling increases, and that's nice~ There are only a few so get them quickly!

Good morning. I wonder if people would rush to jump on the train right before the door closes less if you made the closing parts of doors sharp. _____ Good morning. We are recording. Gradually nearing completion, this process is an insufferable part of recording. _____ Good morning. No matter how sleepy you are, if you rub menthol cream under your eyes, you'll stay awake. However as a human, you can't use this drastic technique without looking somehow awkward. _____ Good morning. This morning I suddenly thought, if a Danish pastry were to suddenly vanish from before an English-speaking person's eyes, would they yell "DANISH VANISH!" ?

Uh oh! Danish vanish!

Oh... Danish vanish.... _____ Good morning. If my collar bones grew (became broader and more deep) I could carry water there like a camel .... and wouldn't need a water bottle....

Today we have a live at Takadanobaba AREA. We have a 60 minute stage today! It's planned to start at 20:00〜. _____ Takadanobaba AREA thank you. 3man with Jin-Machine and Initial'L. A full hour along the way. I want to pierce through this music. I played with that on my mind. This was LIPHLICH. Thank you very much. _____ Ichirou-san thank you! At a battle of bands, Ichirou-san's drumming becomes motivating~!! We had a fun drum talk!! Today the sound was bold too!! I hope we can keep getting along well!

RT @Initial_L_ichi: Takadanobaba AREA thank you! It's been a while since we've done a live but indeed lives are what one lives for! See you tomorrow😋

I've made friends with Kobayashi-kun from LIPHLICH!! Nice drummer!!

[2017/06/26-30, Koba's twitter] [photo] It's okay to put two clash cymbals on the hi-hat side~* Fun~ From tomorrow there are the 2nd and 3rd day of our all songs showcasing oneman ~ We're waiting at Takadanobaba AREA~ (*clash cymbals and hi-hats, different types of drumkit cymbals, but as I know next to nothing about drumming, I fear I can't elaborate.) ______ Good morning. Today I have enough fighting spirit too. ______ All songs showcasing oneman, 2nd day thank you everyone who came to Takadanobaba AREA. We're good as long as our songs can reach you. Today was fun as well. Tomorrow's the last day. ______ Takadanobaba AREA's 20th anniversary Last day of our all songs showcasing oneman. We're doing a nice closing live~. There are same day tickets too. We're playing over 30 songs. Definitely come hang out. ______ The all songs showcasing oneman is over. We gave it our all. Until my voice went out ... but wait, I was on drums. Thank you. From the very first time I played at Takadanobaba AREA it's been my favorite livehouse really. Congratulations on the 20th anniversary. Once again, being able to play all of our songs is really huge. Many thanks. ______ This will be dramatic PUSH-like lives [info on acoustic rockabilly tour follows] ______ Today I went to the oneman live of a long time friend. After I've seen a good live, I want to do a good live too. A nice conclusion to June. Motivatingkkusu.* (*apparently a pun?? on some kinda... name of candy??? Motivation =shigeki, the name of the candy is shigekikkusu. Except he wrote it in kanji, the shigeki, like an actual word, the candy name is all katakana.) ______ (=in terribly written Engrish in katakana=) July! Into the July! Poggy! *****

When most needed, they won't be by your side... On the other hand, they will be there when not necessary Umbrellas are like that... _____ The word "emo". Regarding 'emo' music or an 'emo' live, I don't understand the meaning exactly, the word used to be used towards music to say "This is great! It shook me!", but now that kogals are using it, it's gaining a completely different meaning. Emo... ______ By all means, seeing a person using the word 'emo', I'd think to myself, are they alright? But thinking back on me, I used to use 'cool' in various ways a lot too. But 'cool' has become so widespread that I didn't really feel the coolness anymore. I wonder if this uncomfortable feeling at new things is only caused by them being new. ______ The fastest priority for this is only until tomorrow!

「nude」 Wataru-san's birthday. When he was born, Wataru-san surely was nude. I was too. Everyone was.

[details on Wataru's bday live follow] ______ Here we're also selling some amazing tickets! With the new single, let's rise on the stage of Ebisu once again. I want to see how amazing a live we'll make on that day...

New Single's release commemoration performance "Noir spectacle" 7/23(sun) Ebisu LIQUIDROOM http://liphlich.com ______ Today was the last VLACK APRIL instore event. Everyone who came to gather at the Like an Edison Tokyo store, thank you very much. All the parts were really fun. 3部の松本さん企画は漆黒の翼に隠したその身をさらけ出すようなそんな気分になったよ。 黒は塗りつぶせない、だから背負うんだ…。<--- (*I give up. I don't know how to translate this. I have been at it for 30-40 minutes. If anybody is able to, go ahead. It makes no fucking sense to me. It's too nonsensical, too ambiguous, and doesn't even indicate who the fuck did what. I feel like I can't know because I was not there. I have never been more done with anything in my life than these three lines here. I'm going to bed. Check back tomorrow to see whether I have edited this. I probably will have not. Good night.) ______ I found a couple of highschoolers that, at parting, looked as if they were ballroom dancing, and then immediately separated! Is it a lie? Urinari generation for real? *

(I wish I knew what this referred to, but I can't find anything that'd make sense... only a variety show from the late 90s... but no idea what this refers to...) ______ A curved mirror can only see boys wearing baseball caps.... Everyone's bad.
