And what a beauty it is!






Happy Valentines Day


Because happily ever after is highly overrated.

MY FUNNY VALENTINE
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

I'm gone mad in a scorching haze
Singing in dejection, Lady
At the end, I’ll give you a rhapsody covered in ashes

Ah Valentine, look how much I burn for you
Beloved Valentine, you spill my living blood

The you of my dreams was just an illusion
Dance, Lady, like you don't care
While I lust for the pomegranate at the last freak show

Ah Valentine, sound of your heels passing me by
Yes Valentine, you cut my heart till I go crazy

I'd let the sun kill me, for all I care
Melting away my flesh and blood
I can’t help but be afraid
In the mirror, I see Destiny

Ah, you left me, cruel Valentine
Beautiful Valentine, I'll make you sleep again

Tonight, I want to burn out, turn to ash, just the two of us
I loathe it all, it doesn't matter
Even you, even me

My sweet, dying Valentine
I want you Valentine
Goodbye, beloved Valetine
My funny Valentine

Tonight, I want to burn out, turn to ash, just the two of us
I loathe it all, it doesn't matter
Even you, even me
Tonight, I want to crumble and fall, turn to ash, just the two of us
I thought it was all betrayal
Even you, even me

My sweet, dying Valentine
I want you Valentine
Goodbye, beloved Valetine
My funny Valentine
My sweet, dying Valentine
I want you Valentine
Goodnight, beloved Valetine
My funny Valentine

寿記 31.12.09 BRNDNW GTR

At the DIQ on the 29th, I used a new guitar.

.

It's the brand new Imai model.

.

The curly guitar I've been using for years and years that you can see in the background of the picture is "Anime."

...or rather, if my old guitar is a cartoon, then this new guitar is like a real photograph.

.

That was where I got the idea for the design.

.

I've been meeting with the staff about it for a while, and now finally it's finished.

.

...though even though I say that, we're still improving it.

.

It's good for both heavy riffs and clean arpeggios.

It's got a wide strike zone, so you can get away with anything.

.

The holes are f-hole style, so they're like "yin and yang," or "in and you"* or six and nine.



By the way, how did you all like the new version of "Misty Zone"?

Did you enjoy it?


I'll be playing this guitar.

*"In and you" are Japanese yin and yang principles.
