Secret base
Theme：RINA

It's raining a lot today〜
Those going outside, please be careful...

Yesterday, all of us
Fine tuned a demo of a new song.
We did it at the studio of Satori Shiraishi,
Who arranged "eternal" with us...!
It really is like a secret base.

---

It seems that his music friends overseas
Are making speakers from Spam cans,
And we all played around with them＾＾
So cute＾＾

Ah, I had missed blogging about this before,
But I wrote another lyrics essay
For UtaNet〜!

Those who haven't read it yet,
Please do〜＾＾

Spoiler:

And I loved "Secret Base", both their version and the ZONE one

@tonymiller:
Those amps are made in Liverpool. Pretty sure there used to be a Spam factory there, before it was closed down. Hence the connection. Neat, huh?

@hogradish

I had a Orange Bass Amp at one time, they are pretty good !

But my favourite was the Marshall 200 watt Bass stack

Anyone else surprised to see a banjo sitting there in the rack of guitars?

@Don Dio

A Country & Western song from SCANDAL maybe ?

I really hope that banjo is just a part of the interior xD
but who knows, maybe scandal will educate me once again so that I would enjoy country

I also think these are just Satori's studio instuments. They don't necessarily have to use it. Although it is possible, we can remember the experiments with brass instruments in Neon town escape.

Yeah, @Don Dio, you'd expect a flying V or something. But hey, look at this, there's a bluegrass club in Ginza!

Banjo can also give you like the reverse of street cred. Like rural cred. Boxcar cred. "Lo, the things these tired eyes have seen". See Mumford and Sons for more information, ha ha. Also see Netfix's "Midnight Diner Tokyo Stories" season 2 episode 4 end music. But seriously, I think it probably gets picked up a lot, but put down pretty fast, don't you think?

Postscript: Imagine a bluegrass "Laundry Laundry"   !

Just as long as there is no ukulele, I hate those things

They make ukeleles that plug in, or you can attach a pickup mic.  I played a festival a couple years ago in Arizona and the guy that followed me (funny enough, was from Japan), and he played rock song covers on ukelele.  I'll never forget it.  One of the tunes was Motorhead's "Ace Of Spades."

@Don Dio

The "Ace of Spades" on a ukulele.....the mind boggles

was it with distortion? I saw some covers too, even cannibal corpse, but it all was without any effects anyway

I saw that. Funny country guy who did banjo and ukulele covers on Slayer, Cannibal Corpse and more  

@Streame

No distortion or effects.  He played clean.
