So, last night I had to attend a wake. I don’t know if it’s only a European thing, my sisters overseas might have to google that one up just in case, but yeah, it was odd. At some point one of my best friends waltzed in with this HUGE guy, like 2 meters tall, and his tiny wife went along as well. My good friend apparently told them who I am, and the huge ass guy and his tiny wife immediately went FAN MODE:
Yoooo, your album from 2008 is in our cupboard!
I’m a shy person and being this overwhelmed with fans, that was very strange and scary to me at first. But we had a good run. Just talking about music nonstop.
To me, which I could laugh about, was the fact that I’m doing very, very different music these days, playing a different instrument, just doing my thing and yeah, I had to share phone numbers with them so I can share what I’m doing now.
A really, really weird, but fun night. Music nerds meeting another music nerd… :D
Oh that is so true. I hope you’re one of the not introduced people here when it comes to Nyango Star. That would make my day so much more chipper. ^^

I am 99% sure I know who the fuck that is under the costume. I only know one drummer from Japan personally that is so fucking completely unhinged on the feet and in the head. Probably Nao of Maximum the hormone. She’s got some mad killer skills.
The Bass Drum & Hi Hat in that vid always mess with me. :D
I’m really sorry, but I already knew about Nyango Star … IIRC the wikipedia article on them popped up on their “did you know” list a while back, and I followed a deep rabbit hole of into about Japanese mascots
