TAKATORI in the US in 2009

This post is for recording purposes and as an introduction to COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS' guitarist, TAKATORI. He is currently in the VISITORS TEAM- COTD's current line-up.

A bit of info on Nobu Takatori:
He was COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS' guitarist in 1992 for Queens Park all you change and SINKING SLOWLY (in MY SPEEDY SARAH).

In 1989, he used to be the guitarist in the band, THE OTHERSIDE (as Knob). He was in the band with ex-COTD bassist, Kawanaka Yoshio. (Kawanaka was known as Ryo.)
In 1992, he was also the guitarist in the band, CRAWFISH, with KAWANAKA.

He is in a band called, ZETKI, with his brother, Hideaki. They have done music for some animes and tokusatsu (Japanese scifi action) shows.

In 2009 (October 30 - November 1) Zetki performed at SugoiCon in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky.

Here's their interview with Sugoicon:

He seems to be a very cheerful guy and enjoys tea.

The Lifeblood lyrics

 

In 1998, a Japanese fan was lucky to win the written (incomplete) lyrics of The Lifeblood.
They were nice to share it on mixi.
source: https://mixi.jp/view_bbs.pl?comm_id=3792&id=1668480

I tried my best to decipher the lyrics, but they're also incomplete.
Feel free to comment/message me what you guys think the lyrics might be! :)
Happy Holidays!

*Get out of bed
Feel dizzy in the kitchen
Paid all money for lots liquors
Lie down again
But I don't sleep
Hear voice or something
I know you went away since two weeks ago*

I'm singing in the dream
Well can you wake me? ah

*No job, no love, no wish, lots molds
Killing all friends of mine on my mind
I freezed with draft enough to stop heartbeat
All came trembling down so it's all over...*

I'm singing in the dream
Well can you wake me? ah

I'm standing alone time passes now
I want to be right here right now
I'm standing alone time passes now
I want to be right here right now
x2

Right now

Today for your _ (?)
God save us, yesterday
Already is spoil on the kitchen
I'll try to wash it tomorrow
Come to hear your voice again, I should _ (?) today

I'm singing in the dream
Well can you wake me? ah

_ (?)
Since five weeks ago
I've been had the voice I forget that
Frozen menu, two smoke light
You put with white
I just remember Christmas day today

I'm sinking in the dream
Well, can you help me?
Oh well

I'm standing alone on Christmas day
Somebody sing for me Silent Night
x8

I never give in
I never cry

REVENGE OF THE VISITORS, YouTube, Qubinowa

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the late updates...
I hope everyone is safe and doing well!

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6s21ShDyB7/

There was a poster at COTD's latest concert (December 30, 2019) that announced that they will release a new re-recorded album called, REVENGE OF THE VISITORS.
Though the poster says REVENVE, we believe they meant to say REVENGE...
The album is most likely performed by the VISITORS TEAM (Narasaki (vocals & guitar), Kanno (drums), Negishi (guitar), Nagasawa (bass), and Takatori (guitar))

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been delayed...


On March 24, 2020, Vinyl Junkie Recordings tweeted that if COTD's new YouTube channel exceeds 1000 subscribers, they'll do something special~.

If you haven't, please subscribe and support! It needs 88 more subscribers!

Nobu Takatori was COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS' guitarist during 1992 and 1997. (Queens Park all you change and CAT EP)
He re-joined COTD for their 2019 lives.
Recently, he has been live streaming on TwitCasting.
(You can find his TwitCasting updates on his Twitter: https://twitter.com/tktrnbkz )
According to a Japanese fan, Takatori mentioned that there was a proposal for COTD to perform abroad in 2019. They had a plan, but due to COVID-19 and possibly financial issues, it has been stopped...
Maybe it'll be something to look forward to in the future!



Ex-guitarist and vocalist, ICHIMAKI, has left her band, BP. in March 2019.
She started a new band in January 2020 called キュビノワ / Qubinowa.
They had plans for a live for April 2020, but it was cancelled due to COVID-19.
However, they will be having a live stream concert on July 5, 2020.
Please check them out!
