幾つかの興味深いライヴ(JUNKO vs Sachiko M vs 白石民夫など)を蹴って参戦したストーンズ公演を大いに楽しんだし、物販の列にも並んだ。東京ドームには数万人が集まり超満員だったが、私自身はミック・ジャガーと一対一で対話をしたと思っている。偉大なロックレジェンドたちは、死ぬまでストーンズであることを免れはしない。自ら望んで飛び込んだ運命の輪とともに一生転がり続ける石ころ爺さんたちと一瞬でも意識が交差したことは決して無駄ではなかろう。

Do 13 months beetles dream of red scab & bomber?
written by Miro Kristel (A Challenge To Fate)
The extreme JAPROCK Terrorist and the one & only "hardpore" band in the world, 下山(GEZAN), which means "descending mountain", is currently on tour in North America. They've just released the 2nd studio album titled "凸-DECO-" in Japan, receiving mad and carazy reaction from open minded audience in the land of rising sun (noise). Though they are still not very popular in Japan, their live performance has been threatened many spotlight kids attended their hidden circus of slaughter & massacre with string of relentless brain surgery noise radiation. In spite of the dynamite driven angry appearance of the front guy MahiToThePeople who used to insist he was a grandson of Yukio Mishima, the infamous Harakiri novelist and right-wing activist, the core of GEZAN spirit is full of nobody-can-reachable-except-Jesus Christ kind of Kindness/Love/Affection whatever.

As a matter of fact, MahiTo released a solo album titled "The Most Beautiful Days Next To Silence" in 2013, which contains 9 small pieces with naive sensitivity as fragile as glass, performed only with his good old days acoustic six strings guitar. He started such a folky style activity in order to explore his possibility apart from the band. MihiTo express his feeling like "Performing in GEZAN is like an exercise without oxygen. On the other hand, solo performance is sigh after sports. Saying in body temperature, solo is 35-36℃ and GEZAN is 39℃. " His 2nd solo album titled "POPCOCOON" is to be released on next Wednesday in Japan.

GEZAN is on the road of US of Amerika from February 21st. Originally their itinerary was full with 20 gig dates, but in the last minute they flow over to the state, the US promoter suddenly disappeared. Therefore, they landed NY with white paper of the itinerary. Makoto Kawabata of Acid Mothers Temple, who admires GEZAN as "the best live band in Japan", helped them in booking gigs by contacting his acquainted promoters/musicians in the States. Makoto's favor worked perfectly and the new GEZAN gigs has been added day by day. The finale of this tour is appearance on "SXSW" in Austin.
