Today was a day full of reverb-y guitar.


.

Next, it's time to move into lyrics-land.

.

I've started recording my guitar part for various songs now.

.

When I get home from the studio, I listen to the recording we've already finished, and just kind of...work with the ideas that pop into my head.

.


Pretty soon, I'm going to start having dreams that I'm in the studio recording. It always happens when it's album season...I get the recording syndrome, waking or sleeping!

...but, in the dream, things never really go the way I want them to.

So annoying~~~!

.

And furthermore, this time around our synthesizer player Yoko-chan says that he's got the same symptoms.

Take care, Yoko-chan.

.

The rhythm recording is moving right along.

.


Today, while we were playing a certain song, someone got way too over-excited

And dropped his headphones on the floor, and therefore had to stop playing...

Yes, that was Mr. Higuchi Yutaka.

(Yet another joke I laugh about every time I remember it)

.

Anii played his best, as usual.

.

....this is has got me really looking forward to the live shows.

寿記 10.07.10 fanmail: "the Shiki opening theme"

.

I got fanmail about the Shiki opening theme right away.

Thank you.

.

The animation that was linked to the lyrics and rhythms.

It's really interesting.

It's great.

.

.

I have to go back to the studio already...

寿記 08.07.10 writing lyrics

.

I'm going to mess around with some lyrics.

.

Set something free and then isolate it.

.

And put it together at the same time.

Yokoyama does the manipulating and synth.

.


This is Yokoyama's "sanctuary" on a typical day.

Everyone wears shoes in here.

We just clunk right in.

I mean, we're coming to talk about the synth arrangements, but still.

.

Yokoyama is a heavy smoker, so in here, the visibility is very poor.

It's sort of yellowish-colored.

...like...yeah, that's what it's like

Like sand colored.

Like, this guy came from the Gobi desert, or somewhere.

That's what it's like

.

.

This time, we're having that Gobi desert fellow make us sounds that are coming close to electro-shift.

.

Great sounds are flying all over the place.

.

We'll have a meeting in three days or so.

.

.

.

By the way, what I mean by Yoko-chan's "sanctuary":

-The synth area we make when we're in the studio recording

-Yoko-chan's own room

-A cellar

-A nest

-Any area where smoking is legal

I did a check of my guitar arrangement in the studio.

Made sure that it really fit together tightly with the synthesizers and the rhythm loops, etc.

.

This album.

Mmm~~!

I see something good coming!

.

.

What?!

.

.

.

A new Buck-Tick

.

I see something good coming

.

So, I've shut myself in the basement again...
