I picked up “I Don’t Wanna Die” today at the local CD shop. Amazing. “I Don’t Wanna Die” makes me wanna pop open a beer and jump around my room screaming “YES YES YES YES!!” as loud as I can. Track 2, “Tohoku Shinkansen wa Chihiro-chan wo Nosete” reminds me a lot of “Tokyo”. Well worth the 1050 yen yen price for the single.

Included in the single was some information on the band’s winter tour, which doesn’t happen to be up yet on their official site. The 2007/2008 “Sensou Hantai” tour hits up:

12/10 Shin Kiba Studio Coast
12/13 Niigata Phase
12/16 Zepp Sapporo
1/8 Zepp Nagoya
1/10 Zepp Fukuoka
1/15 Zepp Osaka

Tickets are 2800 yen in advance and 3300 yen at the door (yeah, like there will be any tickets left!) Tickets for the first 3 shows go on sale 10/13, and the last three on 11/17, but I highly recommend applying through a ticket service that has pre-pre reserve tickets, like Pia and e+.
