(partial) CAT EP release interview 1997

Indies Magazine Vol.7 (February 1997)

http://twitter.com/ent_entelechy/status/1037999009732984832




* 1月30日にアルバム先行シングル 『 CAT EP 』 が発売になるんですよね?

ナラサキ:
うん。 ジャケットがものすごくいいよ。 俺コレ店で見たらジャケ買いするもん。 ベリーグッド (Very good!)!


* ジャケットの猫ちゃんおシリからシツボのラインがメチャかわいいもんねえ。

ナラサキ:
俺はね, 目だな。 思想のある目をしてるでしょ? そこが好きなんだよね。

カンノ:
でも次に見たらぬいぐるみになってるかもよ。


* 次にって...? あっ、そういえば、今ここにあるシングルと、 リリースするシングルとは内容が変わってるという噂を聞いたんですが。

ナラサキ:
いやあ、 どうでしょう (笑)?

カンノ:
ノーコメントで  (No comment.)(笑)。



Roughly translated with Google Translate and Bing Translator:

* On January 30th, the leading album single, "CAT EP" will be released?

NARASAKI:
Yes. The jacket is amazingly good. I'll buy a jacket when I see it in the store. "Very Good!"


* The line on the jacket cat's butt to the tail is very cute.

NARASAKI:
My preference is her eyes. She has eyes with thought, doesn't she? I like that.

KANNO:
でも次に見たらぬいぐるみになってるかもよ。
But if you look next, it might be a stuffed animal.


* What's next...? Oh, by the way, I heard rumors that the contents are changing with the single now and the single to be released.

NARASAKI:
Well, how is that (laughs)?

KANNO:
"No comment." (laughs).

NOTE:* The interviewer is referring to the album cover of CAT EP when talking about the "jacket".
* KANNO's comment is a hint to COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS' EP series inspired by PostPet.
* The contents changing may be referring to the release of CAT EP and CAT EP II.
According to the Japanese COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS Wikipedia page, NARASAKI did not like the sound quality of the original CAT EP, so he released it again.

NARASAKI & Otsuki Kenji

I haven't been up-to-date with Otsuki Kenji's blog, so here's a catch-up review.
Unfortunately, I can't read Japanese and Google Translate is very limiting. Also, the COTD FAN translators are busy at the moment...
Pretty much, NARASAKI still keeps in touch with Otsuki Kenji, TOKUSATSU is still active, and Otsuki Kenji and the Zetsubou Girls still do stuff from time to time.

NARASAKI in Deadman Wonder Band for the anime, Deadman Wonder Land.

Would this be considered official NARASAKI fanart...?

This last photo is very interesting. NARASAKI's bracelet looks a LOT like the necklace I sent to him around 2009. (I sent COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS a COTD FAN book which included fanmail, fanart, and a necklace I made for NARASAKI for his birthday. The submissions from the COTD FAN contest was also in the book. http://cotdfan.thisisht.com/fancontest.html )

If that bracelet is the necklace I gave him... that would be frikkin' amazing. hahaha I'm not so sure because the photo is small... Who knows...

Resurrection Memorial Shinjuku LOFT 2.3&4.2011PART 2

One of the COTD FAN Forum members (iwtmyut) posted a live review for the special 2-day live! Thanks, iwtmyut!
Unfortunately, it's in Japanese, but I'll try to get someone to translate it to English for us.

February 3 & 4, 2011
Resurrection Memorial CONCERT

Fastest Draw




LIVE REVIEW:
hyperで我慢しきれずモッシュした!疲れた!すべてぶっ飛んだ!
楽しかったぜ、いえい!

1部はICIHMAKIのGtとKOJIのBa。
2部はAKIRA、KOJI、MURAI。

最初はフロア柵前センターに居たが、ノリが悪いので前に移動。
休憩時は柵前に戻り、また前に進むというウロウロでした。
最後はモッシュピットへ。結局我慢できませんでした。
今日は音良かった!
Aquarian AgeでNackieが途中で「you can dance」と言う。
Fastest Drawは疲れて離脱しました。ごめんなさい。
Death Voiceが印象的だったな、今日は。
Joy Rideはみんなで手拍子。Nackieの「せーの!」でジャンプ!
結局行人坂シリーズは無くて、お客さんに優しいライブだなと思いました。
ダレないというか、最初から最後まで突っ走った二日間。
今日はフロアに居たのでKANNOさんのパワフルプレイもギターも見えず。
二日間とも男女比率が半々程度でした。バンドマンらしき人もチラホラ。
NackieのVoは昨日よりよく聞こえた。でもICHIMAKIの声は少し聞き取りづらかったかな。
折角なのに。
でもICHIMAKIならではのSETLISTに感無量。
昨日もそうだったけど名前呼ばれると「はい」と応えるだけのNackiewww。
前半に昨日と同じ告知。あと何か言ったかな?
告知の時に反応が悪くて寂しそうでした。両日共に行った人多かったんだなw
1部ではNackieギター持ってたかも。2部は持ってませんでした。
4月のライブの事、「20周年と言ってもちゃんとやってないし」とか「ちゃんとやってるバンドさんに比べたら」とか「余計な事言 ったかな?」とか言ってました。

初日の書き忘れ。
MURAIのBaは重いんです。と、2部の始まりに「鬼は外!」って豆撒いてましたw
豆欲しかったなぁ。
