Pink Spider『桃色の蜘蛛』
1998/03/27/10:45
PINK = A color of illusion. SPIDER = A person who is looking up to the sky from a narrow opening of his web that is covering his sight. He is convinced that the small part he can see is the whole world. CLOUD = It is a mere servant of the sky, though it is pretending a symbol of the freedom. By the way, PV of the "PINK SPIDER" will be appear prior to its release at the ending of a TV show, "Extra BAKUSYOU MONDAI ( note: This title means, a special edition of news paper for problems that would cause burst of laughter )", which starts from (4/6) 12:20- on channels of NIPPON-television affiliation. I like BAKUSYOU MONDAI, but they are nothing to do with PINK SPIDER (laugh).
( note: BAKUSYOU MONDAI is name of a Japanese comedian. The name means "The problem which causes burst of laughter" )
ever free

A song, that has been planned at first to be used as a coupling song for the "PINK SPIDER" was, by what godsend I don't know, decided to be released independently. So the CD releasing is scheduled as "PINK SPIDER" on 5/13, and "ever free" on 5/?. Furthermore.....the "Monster Card" at issue will much grow in the number and in variety. By the way, the presents for Lucky Card Prize winner have not been dispatched. Please wait for some time.

Ever since the shooting of"PINK SPIDER" promotion video film, KINKAKU (= Chirolyn ) seems to have taken fancy to Los, and has been living around here. One day he went to see Demisemi Quever ( spell? ) who is now making a tour in US. And these days he goes to gym in the morning to polish the "SANDA's brawn". Besides, he has obtained an acoustic guitar in the Guitar Center and now he is composing songs....as you see, he is living a quite wholesome life here. He has not gotten homesickness so far. However, I know that he will soon start crying, "I wanna go home!!"..... On the other hand, I heard THE GUY in Pathenon will soon come out again from his shrine. The "Menstrual Crown" on his head is still green and lively....( Kanako's note: In Japanese, "laurel" and "menses" are in the same pronunciation "GEKKEI" ). And more.....Have you seen GINKAKU = DIEchan's promption video?! It's cool as well as horrible! I can't sleep well.....when I imagine him running around on our stage.....This summer is going to be hot.....and feverish.
５／１３PINK SPIDER....out !!
1998/03/13/16:４０
This time, shooting of a video clip of "Pink Spider" promotion was carried out at the hotel where Brad Pitt was almost slaughtered in the movie "SEVEN". The hotel seems being used often in scenes in films, though it is still open to public. Some parts of this building, broken walls and other almost collapsing parts, are left unrepaired ( maybe for films ). People putting up in this hotel are almost "living" here as if it were an apartment, and not seemed to be some ordinary nor quiet people. There, members of the Spread Beaver ( who are, of course, not at all ordinary guys ) have joined into. Things are in a terrible mess....that is just what our film needed.... This time again the director is Shuichi Tan ( as in the case of "Rocket Dive" ). In the final shoot of a scene where the band was playing in an alley, we performed with a loudest sound at 11 PM. Naturally, there was a shower of complaint by neighbors.... The police did not stop us. They rather said...." It's dangerous to continue like this. It could cause a riot. "....What a terrible comment.... The alley is located at a narrow space between two very dirty buildings. We were told beforehand, "Be careful ! People in upper stairs throw you syringes ! " It WAS a strange experience to make a film at such place. Nevertheless with these anxieties, the shooting was carried out and has already finished safely. Then we went into a celebration party, drink, drink and drink, as we do every time when we finished a business, no matter where we are in the world. This time we did not have any critical accidents, except on entry that we were stopped because of the letters " SPREAD BEAVER " on our instruments. The monsters ( members of Spread Beaver ) already went back to Japan, safely. I 'll tell you if I could in some other occasions about many funny episodes along with this video shooting in detail. And, the single CD, " Pink Spider " will be released on May 13. I 'd rather not mention about the sound, for I don't want you have any preconceptions. I'd like to leave your " wild fancies " go around freely.
Here arrived SPREAD BEAVER !!
1998/03/11/00:４０
Members of SPREAD BEAVER just arrived safe in L.A., and I'd like to ask a word by each member. DIE...."He-llo, everyone! I am a man from turtle-planet, people call me GINKAKU, now arrived here. I successfully broke through the first barrier, the customs, and now I am searching a video tape that recorded ORIGINAL LOVE in POP JAM on Air ( Why ORIGINAL LOVE?" )! I already went out to Santa Monica, a den of homosexuals!....Anyway, I am going to make my debut as a singer soon.....I don't know why.....Babies ! Don't miss the "HIDE's rocket" this year ! See you next week." CHIRORIN.... " This is the first time I've come here in L.A..... How are you doing now? I am going to start living together with my new sweetheart, Hiroshi Matsumoto, for a considerably long period from 4 days later, so now my heart is pounding with excitement about that. I look forward to your support to a new KINKAKU---BOBIN-chan after he comes back to Japan.....Sincerely,......" JOE, a Greek in the Partenone ( Spell? ) Temple...."Ra-Ri-Hoo !! A FAT coil bouncing Bo-Yo-Yo-Younnn !!.....I have no time to play around, AGAIN !! I'll go back to Japan immediately ! After I come back, ZIGGY will come into action !!....Beware!! The name "ZIGGY" will change !! Catch me in Tokyo on April !! The laurel ( menstrual ) crown on my head will be howling tonight !!.....I am waiting at The Partenone!! Catch my temple!!" Today, KAZ is absent, on business about Oblivion Dust. KIYOSHI is also absent, he will join tomorrow. I'll also interview them ( including KATO-chan ) for you afterward. So, now, at last.....will the Pink Spider jump up?

How are you doing these days? I finished mixing my new single today, and now I am enjoying a few holidays ( "Sundays" for me ). In a few days, all members of SPREAD BEAVER will gather in California, for shooting a PV of the new single......that is, in a mean, as an abnormal phenomenon as El Ninjo ( El Ninio? )......This single is something that is totally different from the last one,Rocket Dive. It seems I have jumped out to an "another place", beyond all kinds of expectations by people.....but I don't care.....anyway, it's so great.....A PINK SPIDER should jump up! Please look forward.
