		<description><![CDATA[Each day brings with it the chance to start anew!Some news to start things off: Yamaty, the guitarist for one of my most favorite bands here in Japan, Ping Pong Dash!!, has decided to leave the band after 4 years.  No real reason was given in the statement the band released, but it did mention that it wasn't due to any bad blood between members or anything like that.  This leaves Ping Pong with 4 members, including Fat Kohey on the bagpipes, and they are currently looking for a new person to take over for Yamaty as they don't want to play as a 4-piece.

		<description><![CDATA[I really didn't know what to expect from the September 5th “Summer Vacation ver....  The only thing I knew about the others (Strut Berry, Perunanguraata, and Fuzz Float) was that their names were really weird.Not many people at Zher the Zoo tonight; probably less than 20....  And the crowd tonight didn't really seem into anything other than the one band they had come to see.

		<description><![CDATA[Then after that Sayaka and Kurumi went to the same vocational school?Sayaka: That’s right.(K): So Toyo, how did you come to join these girls?Toyo: Well, these two went to the same school, and at that time they were just using a support drummer while looking for a person who could join permanently....  I noticed that a lot of your songs have an underlying theme of “Doing one’s best” and stuff like that.Sayaka: That’s right!(K): So you formed Paifuku back in high school, but when was the first time you started playing instruments?Sayaka: For me, I went to piano class when I was young and then during 9th grade I picked up the guitar.(K): Why did you decide to start playing guitar?Sayaka: All of my piano practice dealt with classical music and I didn’t really know anything about chords or any of that stuff....  How did that come about, and how did you come to know Mr. Nakamura (from Einstein Records)?Sayaka: We basically just sent him our CD.Kurumi: Yeah, we sent out our CD to a number of different labels, and Mr. Nakamura called us back.(K): So he got in touch with you and eventually put out your CD?Sayaka: That’s right.(K): What would you say the theme of the album is, in one or two words?Sayaka: Paifuku!

For only 2000 yen in advance or 2300 yen at the door you can see:マイライト (My Right)EXTINCT GOVERNMENTCOCOBATENDZWECKRISEFREAKSガンフロンティア (Gun Frontier)THE CHERRY COKE$RED BACTERIA VACUUMLAST TARGETFIREBIRDGASSCARAMEL MANWARNINGDr.DownerATGCDJs:ウッチー (WORM'MEAT), パイン (マイナーリーグ), SEIKI (COCOBAT), NAOTO (マイライト)I'll be going for The Cherry Coke$, Red Bacteria Vacuum, and Last Target, though Cocobat and Firebirdgass will undoubtedly put on a great show too.
