Now, I brought this up to show that HISAYO isn't going to be able to fill Ritsuko's... well, shoes, OK? No matter how much I might like her. And I like her only a little less than Emi seems to. I think we're all agreed that no one is going to be able to fill Ritsuko's crocs, but someone might be able to stand in them for a while. Hopefully not for too long, we need a regular serving of croc rock.

I remain optimistic. Kind of. If you can carry one of these on stage... ...you can surely manage one of these as well. I mean, you can, can't you? Oh, it's going to be a long 36 months.

Well, since we're talking about Emi and I don't see it mentioned yet on the forum, TOMATO HEAD announced yesterday May 27th that Emi will be leaving the band in July. She will do the USA tour, then the 712 Party show in Japan, and that's her last gig. Sad news for sure.

Hmm, not sure where to post this, perhaps here might be best as it throws light on the essence of being Emi. She told us that... So now we know the real reason why Emi decided to cut her hair short! We get the info direct from Emi herself! It's all America's fault! American bathrooms with high shower heads and low water pressure meant she had difficulty with washing her hair and she even resorted to washing her hair in the bath!!! But only once! The Japanese use of baths is somewhat different to the western way. In Japan, first you wash yourself and then you get into the bath. Soap in the bath water is a big no-no. So it must have been very difficult for Emi having to bring herself to wash her hair in the bath. All that horrible soap in her lovely bath water! It makes me wonder if this is one of the reasons why Emi is leaving SK. Another American tour and weeks of trouble with washing her hair. Or perhaps she just wants to grow her hair long again.

"Soap in the bath water is a big no-no."
What about Specially Selected Tortuous Brand Pot Cleaner?

"Soap in the bath water is a big no-no." What about Specially Selected Tortuous Brand Pot Cleaner? Foolish boy, I'll have you know that a Tortoise Brand Pot Cleaner's place is in the kitchen. Not in the bathroom! A Tortoise Brand Pot Cleaner may be kind on your "iron child's" delicate skin. (It won't scratch your pot.) It may even be kind on Emi's cymbals. But she made no mention of cleaning any part of her drum kit. That is one of those occult secrets which drummers keep very close to their skins. Is that how they get a "clean" sound? Emi certainly wouldn't use a pot cleaner on her own delicate skin. That would be tortuous. But she probably would use one of the other products which the kamenoko-tawashi company also makes as part of their " bodycare" range. So perhaps she uses one of these... ... a tortoise brand people cleaner, aka a "healthy scouring pad". Notice how similar the people cleaner is to the pot cleaner that I posted a pic of on this page. Like the pot cleaner, the people cleaner is also made from coconut fibre and they comes in a range of stiffness, but the people cleaner has a rope loop on it, rather than the metal loop which is found on the pot cleaner. ♬ Tortoise brand Emi cleaner Specially selected Emi cleaner The best Emi cleaner in the world is Specially selected tortoise brand ♬ The company also makes tortoise shaped holders for plant pots. Somewhere for you to put a Little Tree or maybe a place to sew catnip seeds?

If your name is Michie, this is a good place to plant your pot where you plant your pot.

You guys are cracking me up!!!! Hey, speaking of planting Michie's pot seeds, I think I've got my 24 year old son into SK now. I stayed at his place in Las Vegas last night and introduced him to our lovely lady friends. The first video I showed him was "On Top Of The World" with Etsuko on drums, then live in Japan 2006 with Etsuko doing her machine gun drumfills, and eventually wandered into Michie territory with "Catnip Dreams" (yes this is coming full circle here)... He was listening to the words, and a smile was growing on his face as Michie was singing about her fat cat with 1 puff 2 puff, very sleepy eyes, planting catnip seeds, etc... I don't know whether I should be worried or happy! OK! Back to Emi!!

I've been sort of watching "Band Maid" and came across this video of their drummer practicing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vu-7LKZiI0I don't know her name, but she's playing a CANOPUS kit like what Emi uses. I'm wondering how much of the Emi and Etsuko influence she has acquired over the years, and...has Naoko invited her to join SK? Just wondering... Answered my own question; twitter.com/achi_bandmaidShe's either Akane Hirose or Hirose Akane and is the leader of the group.
