You're going on a...
Yeah.
Shit.

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

What is that?
Yeah, what is that?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to nine cities.
Shit.
Oh, shit.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, like, you're, so nine city is like, just like what any...
Yeah.
...top tier artists would go to when they say, well, they would do a world tour, a nation tour.
Yeah, a nation tour.
Yes, but I mean, I'm not going to do some Tokyo Dome or things like that, obviously.
It's not those things like arena tours or like studio tours, things like that.
Those like top tier artists, it's not something like that.
But it's really small and do some little live houses.
Okay.
But still, the cities are kind of same.
What city then?
Sapporo.
Okay.
Oh, your home...
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
My grandparents' home city.
Yeah.
Hopefully, they would be able to come, maybe.
Oh, yeah.
My grandparents, they passed away.
Oh, right.
I'm sorry about that.
Yeah.
So sorry about that.
Yeah, but they're gonna, their souls...
Yeah, their souls would come in, sort of.
Yeah, of course.
They'll land in the arena.
Help me singing and...
On top of you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
So Sapporo and then Sendai.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Sapporo, Sendai.
Yeah, Tokyo.
Tokyo.
And then go to Kyoto...
Oh, sorry, Nagoya.
Finally.
Yeah, finally.
Because last time, we were like skipping Nagoya, right?
Yeah, this time, yeah.
Nagoya.
Osaka.
Osaka.
Kyoto.
Kyoto.
Hiroshima.
Hiroshima.
Fukuoka.
Oh.
And then Okinawa.
Fuck, you're doing Okinawa as well?
Yeah.
So that's nine cities and that's...
Wow.
Wow.
In what span?
Like how...
Yeah, starting from the beginning of October,
Juugatsu.
Beginning of October, okay.
And then until like Juunigatsu no Nakaba.
So around two months.
So like you're gonna do it every week or something?
Yeah, kind of.
Kind of every week?
Yeah, yeah.
Usually on a weekend?
Weekend, yes.
I see.
But there are times that I go to, for example, like...
I'm not sure if this is correct, but I'm going to like Kyoto on Saturday
and then next day kind of Hiroshima and go back.
So it's not going to be like every, every week.
I see.
One city, things like that.
It's...
I see.
Yeah.
How many shows per city?
ツアーの準備と運営
One show.
One show, like not like two a day or something?
No, just one show.
I see.
So you're going to do nine shows total.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I see.
Wow.
Yeah.
So excited.
I mean, I'm...
Well, how does the like the logistics work, man?
Like the yoyakus and the like...
How's the handling?
I can't even imagine.
Is there...
Do you have a guy that takes care of all of that or is there you...
What's...
How does that come into play?
Yeah.
So I would say I have me and, you know, the keyboard guy.
Yeah.
The one we did.
Yeah, yeah.
You and I.
Yeah.
And also I have like a manager-san and we kind of discuss what to do and make a plan and things like that.
Okay.
And then bring those things to...
There's another guy of working in kind of professional...
In those like evento seisaku.
I see.
Yeah, kind of.
I see.
And then you make a plan and basically he's going to pick up places and then reserve places.
That's his role.
I see.
Yeah.
So most of the things you can leave it up to him.
全国ツアーの決定
Well, yeah, if you want to.
But I have to check it, you know, obviously.
I'm not going to want to like...
Yeah.
What if he's going to pick like, you know, I don't know, like Tokyo Dome and Osaka Dome.
No, please don't.
So the sizes and the places.
I see.
And the dates and everything.
Obviously, I have to check it.
I see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's a guy that...
I see.
That he is like a professional of those things.
I see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's the most difficult thing to navigate when you're doing that?
Like what...
Maybe the...
Maybe the...
I don't know.
The selling a ticket.
I see.
It's going to be...
Yeah, sales is going to be the difficult...
The most, I think, difficult part, I guess.
I see.
Because if you pay things, you can obviously reserve a place.
Yeah.
And you can do whatever you want.
Yeah.
If you just pay them.
Right.
So that's not like...
Everybody can obviously do that if they pay.
But like after that, how do you sell tickets?
I see.
How do you...
Yeah, that's, I think, the most difficult part.
I see.
I see.
Yeah.
I see.
What are you excited for, for the show?
Like is there something, anything you can announce right now that...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, so from my side, I'm just looking forward to going, like visiting cities, you know?
Yeah.
Like Fukuoka, Hiroshima, just going there and just do some local live houses.
I see.
It's going to be really interesting, no?
Yeah.
It's going to be really fun.
My side, like going to like, just you said, my grandparents' home city and just maybe Okinawa.
Just it's like a, you know, half, of course, it's like a kind of job, but like half, it's
like a trip.
Right.
It's like a trip, it's like a trip.
Yeah.
Right.
So I'm so excited about that.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
新曲の制作
And then I'm going to make like a new album for that tour.
And yeah, it's going to be interesting.
I see.
Yeah.
So a new album, is there going to be new songs?
Does that mean there's going to be new songs coming out?
Yeah, yeah.
How frequently are you posting out songs?
I don't know, but maybe one, it average one song per month, I guess.
Yeah, around that.
I see.
I see.
But when you make an album, that means you put like 10 songs in one album.
So it's like one time you got 10 songs released.
Right.
So you're like building up.
It's not like one song a month.
I see.
I see.
Yeah.
Oh, I see.
So you right now have several songs that have not been released yet.
Yes.
But still like building up.
Yes.
Waiting for that release date.
Yeah, yeah.
It's not fully made up yet, but I'm making them.
Oh, I see.
Yeah.
Including...
No.
The first...
The broken iPad?
You were just talking about the broken iPad?
Yeah.
Shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shit.
Is that...
What's the genre?
Can you tell me what the genre of the song is about?
Like ballad, rock, pops.
It's like one of those...
I don't know how...
I would say it's one of the bedroom pops, which is like...
Bedroom pops?
Yeah, or R&B.
R&B, okay.
Yeah.
You know, there are...
So musical genre, I would say R&B, pop.
I see.
Yeah.
But bedroom music means like, you know,
those songs that you can make in your bedrooms with the laptops and, you know...
Oh, like all with the DTM?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's not...
For example, like Queen or like, you know, those rock bands like One Ok Rock.
Okay.
They don't make songs in bedrooms, right?
Yeah.
They go to like huge studio and like with the amplifiers and...
Oh, okay.
But bedroom songs are like...
Even using headphones and just...
I see.
And with the microphones and like in the midnight, you sing it like...
Oh, okay.
Those kind of...
I see.
You know.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
I see, I see.
Wow.
Okay.
I wonder how you sort of framed it, you know?
It was still kind of wiggly, you know?
I felt like the iPad was still like...
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's kind of...
You can look at it from all angles, right?
He's loved, he's not loved.
I've given up on him, but I still use him.
So it really is interesting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
To see how you'd put it in a song.
True, true.
So it's just the source of inspiration, you know?
I see.
I'm just inspired by that story.
So you might not feel the...
The exact same story footprints that my iPad has gone through.
Okay.
So you're not going to talk about...
The taste, you know?
I see, I see.
The concept and things.
Ah, so you're not going to have like the Akihabara, the repair shop guy,
the Chinese repair shop guy that I took him to?
Is that going to be there?
Not deeply detailed in it.
Not those, but like whole...
I see.
Whole, you know, concept.
I see, I see.
Wow, that's interesting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's interesting, yeah.
But yeah, it's fixed.
I see.
It's a huge challenge for me, you know?
Yeah.
I mean, wait, how...
全国ツアーの決定
So you've done one tour.
I know you've done one tour.
Yeah.
Right?
Four cities?
No, no, no.

Okay.

Okay.
And then just a month ago, I did a billboard tour.
Yeah.
That was in Yokohama and Osaka.
Both two shows.
Okay, I see.
I see.
We call them tour, but it's actually just two cities.
I see.
So compared to what you've done in the past, your future nine cities is like big.
Big.
Really big.
And it sounds like the authentic tour.
Yeah, right.
It's authentic zen-goku tour.
Yeah.
Are you going to be on like the Lawson ticket shit?
Are you going to be on there?
Ah, well, not Lawson ticket, but ticket pier.
Oh, you're going to be on ticket pier?
Yeah.
Shit.
Oh, shit.
I'm not going to be on, you know, those like at the convenience store, you can have a poster.
You're going to be on a poster?
No.
I don't think so.
