–Jungle Holly vol.2–
A Sunday evening at Sangenjaya HEAVEN'S DOOR

http://instagr.am/p/BN34D_xjSno

Since they were the event organizers, Jungles!!! were promoting this every which way
for weeks on end. It was their last show of the year. It did turn out kind of special.

The photo collage is of one of the featured bands, 5x8x3.
Never heard of them before this.

They've been on Facebook since September 24.


5x8x3 Official Facebook:
facebook.com/5x8x3/


They play in gothic horror doll drag.
But the singer looks familiar in spite of that.



As she should!

Today at 12:36am
Jungles project on the 11th. 
When 5x8x3 went off, Kassan took part in "Roller Coaster".


Six and a half minutes of mayhem. Kassan swans about in whiteface, setting her beer down
long enough to join the chorus for "Roller Coaster" (about the first 4 minutes).

Kassan's first time setting foot on a stage in years.


Asami's an infrequent public poster, and prizes her privacy.
But there's something naggingly familiar about her as well…




〜〜〜〜〜

The Kassan Instagram is pretty stagnant, and so far it's reserved for private life. 
But at Facebook, Kassan is mixing in business.

Hazuki-san waiting for Santa, dressed as Santa. Yep! She's kyuuuute!
#Kurisumasu #madamadakawaiihazuki-san


— Santa, please come!
— Well? Where is he?! Do you see him? 
— [ suddenly embarrassed; are you playing me again? ] 
— He'll be joining us soon. 
— He's coming soon? OK, call him. 
— Santa, get over here!! 
— [ snickering parent ] 


Madamada kawaii = "still more cuteness on the way"

Again this year, we hope you all will pass the time in happiness! LOVE & PEACE


They spelled sugoshimasu as sugosemasu. I wouldn't have known it was a typo,
but I've never even learned that term for spending time till now.

Since it's them, it's kind of poetic that in a different context it means "overdoing it",
alcohol especially. Maybe I still don't get what they are wishing for everyone here.

That step-and-repeat backdrop looks so promising until
you squint hard enough to make out the "2016" label.

Live today at Sancha Heavens Door! TENSION MAX!
Please come and play～!

Sangenjaya (3 Tea-houses), abbreviated as 3Tea.
The band is showing you how to do TENSION MIN as an option.

http://instagr.am/p/BTmLQyoA0Te

The date changed, it's actually today.
At Sangenjaya Heavens Door!
An event by our sempais DEAD BAMBIES! 
All band floor live!
It's going to be a great evening, why not spend it together?
jungles is scheduled for 6:40pm
If you can make it, come play! ＼(^o^)／
Our best regards!
ENJOY!!! (2nd and 3rd pictures are scenes from THE JUNGLES!!! offlines.)


I don't know what an all-band floor live is. Either every band is live on the floor,
or all bands are live on the floor at once, or if something is on the floor, and it's 
live, then it must be a band. 

jungles!!! calls itself jungles, jungles!!! or THE JUNGLES!!! as decreed by whim.

An offline meeting or party, ofukai, is a F2F get-together by people who normally
only interact on the internet. Different from "why don't we take that offline"
proposed at a business meeting in the US.

THE JUNGLES!!! next live 6/17 (Sat) is at Kochijouji Warp!
Taro-san from Infinite Broadcasting and Daisuke-san from TEAM VERYS
invited us to the W birthday party!
Yeah! Happy birthday!＼(^o^)／
We'd be happy if we could celebrate with all you guys!
Absolutely come play＼(^o^)／
Thanks for supporting us!
(2nd and 3rd pictures are scenes from THE JUNGLES!!! studio)

Is it because we concentrated too seriously on music production?
If you notice, we became Mr. Bean. Proof we were really putting
out a groove. No relationship to the event.

http://instagr.am/p/BVZNTvpAMbU

[ followup plugging the Warp birthday event ]
(The 2nd movie is the look of IKUMI 's side project. The Minos' first live concert.
It was freakin' cool ♡ No relationship to THE JUNGLES !!!)


The Minos is a 90% fictitious meta-band that hardly ever does anything real.
Perfect for musicians who don't have much free time. It was conceived as a
marketing vehicle to sell branded merchandise to people who just want to
look cool in a band shirt. But if The Rutles can have releases..

Good evening〜😋 This weekend we're live at Yokohama Tsurumi Gigs!

(※ The movie is the look of the live the other day.
We excerpted out our own favorite part.)


Kin emerges from the pit to wrap up "Roller Coaster".






Working on new material in the studio, so they gave it a 24-hour tease yesterday on Instagram.

[tangerinesun]

BUY or DIE
They started to run low on exclamation points

http://instagr.am/p/BYqirMjDtfg

HYAHHOOO〜I! It's safely finished up!! What's that, you say?! "do or die", the 3rd

1000 yen. How to actually "get this" for real… an unsolved problem for now,
they're vending it straight out cartons at shows.




The dope on HYAHHOI!

Chosen as the best answer
xx_sacotty_xxさん

Originally, "HYAHHOI!" is an interjection you emit when you're happy.
Alternately, you also use it when you're glad about getting something
you like, sometimes repeatedly when rejoicing over the desired thing.

There is also this usage, with the feeling of a verb:
To do "hyahhoi" about X  ￫  to do X over and over again for joy

In addition,

There's also this usage:
"Hyahhoi X" ￫ "I love X" ・ "X is my favorite person"

09 September Jungle Holly Vol.3 record release party
5x8x3 played. Where have they been?



Let's recap on Instagram:

http://instagr.am/p/BLBYNaZBpxJ

5×8×3 first Rehearsal! ! !

http://instagr.am/p/BLBY7IDBfP2

After withdrawing from Red Bacteria Vacuum Kassan returns to the stage for
the first time in years! 12/11 Sangenjaya HEAVENS DOOR planned by Jungles,
appearing in Jungle Holly with a band called 5×8×3!!!

http://instagr.am/p/BNoWGjIh1dL

I'm doing a 5×8×3 live for the first time in 15 years.
This coming Sunday already.

December 11th (Sun) Sangenjaya HEAVENS DOOR appearing in the
Jungles-sponsored Jungle Holly

My hand cramps up when I play bass.
When I'm playing with correct form, even so it still gets so it
won't move anymore.

Since it's been a long time since Kassan used the bass, there's noise that
won't stop buzzing even though she replaced the copper shielding.

Since it's been a long while between lives, Yo-chan bought a guitar amp
head. But consequently, there wasn't enough money to pay for a
rehearsal studio, which you could say is a contradiction.

MANABU-kun is doing things in a safe manner.

Such as we are,
We're practicing except on days when we don't practice.

Vo. YOKKOi (PET)
G.   YOHGE (ex. SLUG GO!)
B.   KASSAN (ex. Red Bacteria Vacuum)
Dr.  MANABU (ex. KNUCKLES)

Kumamoto dialect RAP. Koyappe (ex.KNUCKLES) not attending....
Please come visit with us (^^)


15 years is a slight exaggeration, but in 5×8×3 they do exaggerate.
Kassan pulled out of RBV in 2013.

http://instagr.am/p/BN1HI04BhDw

Tomorrow at last!!! 5×8×3 is reviving!!!! December 11 (Sun) Sangenjaya
HEAVENS DOOR appeared in the Jungles planned Jungle Holly!!!
Showtime is 08:20!!! Witness the beginning of a new legend!!
(Sorry for the condescending language.)


And in the SLUG GO! shirt, it's… Kassan??! Nah, where's the yokai with
the oval face, rosebud mouth and straight brows?

http://instagr.am/p/BN6YmmSh6EV

Though we absolutely have a long way to go, with my heart all beaten up
about my mother, somehow 5×8×3 got it done anyway. However, it's a
terrible picture (lol) thanks everybody.
We'll surely do it again sometime.



I'm not sure of the story with YOKKOI's mom. Sometime was like 6 months later...

http://instagr.am/p/BUCaV1NA-VG

5×8×3 rehearsal today. We made a masterpiece.


The bass is borrowed from TOHRU, the bassist for YOKKOi's regular project
PET FUNKY GOD HEAD. A J-bass with a 34" scale is completely too long for
Kassan to play. God only knows what she's doing with it.

http://instagr.am/p/BUYXfN7gTZN

On 6/11 Sunday I'll be live in Osaka with the band called 5×8×3.
The band was live in Osaka.. about 20 years ago? (lol)
Please come visit us (^-^)

http://instagr.am/p/BU4PE7mAMB8

5×8×3 preparations complete. All the remains is to get back to Osaka.

http://instagr.am/p/BVMOS7LgyFZ

5×8×3 post-rehearsal meeting

http://instagr.am/p/BVMqTaUgjE_

5×8×3 gig before long!!

http://instagr.am/p/BVM00HighFb

It must be 5×8×3 (lol) We're starting in no time.
The place is bursting with customers… not.

[tangerinesun]

Which brings us to the "do or die" release event. 

A Jungle Holly production at HEAVENS DOOR without 5×8×3 is unthinkable. 

http://instagr.am/p/BXfKCujgOcT

5×8×3 live in Tokyo for real.

Looks like it's on September 9, 2017 (Sat) @ Sangenjaya HEAVEN'S DOOR.

So we'll have your address. Really, we're depending on you.

How the stars do it.

Everyone in Kyoto \(^o^)/ THE JUNGLES!!! this Sunday
How do you do, we're live in Kyoto! Come out and play~!
10/22 (Sunday) @ Kyoto GATTACA "CQC" opening 6:30pm /
¥1500 in advance,　￥500 discount for female persons!
Stray Cat Guts – Girls' March – nolala – THE JUNGLES!!!

The Jangles @西院GATTACA (Saiin GATTACA) By now, I've been  13–14 years
with their predecessor bands (Gito Gito Hustler, RED BACTERIA VACUUM,
suckpiggy). It's been awhile, thanks for all the laughter we've had.
Great show too, please be careful going back to Tokyo, OK?

jungles _ japan  Mayumin, arigatou ♡ It was fuuun ♡


〜〜〜〜〜

As if the Jungles!!! didn't already have enough competing versions of their name
(4 or more, counting capitalization), backing it straight of phonetic Japanese into
phonetic English by the rules, it comes out "Jangles".

Phonetic translation isn't 100% reversible when you round-trip it. That's because
there is no mapping of recognized sounds between Japanese and English that is
both one-one and "onto" (functionally bijective) for you set theory geeks.


GATTACA's a tiny punk club on the third floor of a building that's also home to their
Beat Free practice studio, located at 13-1 Saiin'nishi on the Sai Higashi Dori near
the Saiin underground station in East Kyoto.

Please don't try to bring in food or drink, or loiter on the street near the entrance.
Also, no dancing allowed. Seriously. kyoto-gattaca.jp/info/index.html


This was the gig:

http://instagr.am/p/BaoOFeUg1-f

Mayumin is still coming back after a stroke that cost her some function
in her shutter hand. One reason she's so partial to the Jungles!!! is that
Red Bacteria Vacuum gave her a start in the punk rock business as a
lowly staffer with a crummy digi-cam and instant backstage privileges,
many long years ago.

[tangerinesun]

http://instagr.am/p/BajtsotloRE

Since the expressway was jammed due to the typhoon, we decided
to go back to Tokyo in the morning. In the meantime, we enjoyed
ourselves fully. I had a battle in my sleep with the monster
IBIKIKUSOOYAJI. My unforgettable memories of Kyoto have increased.
Yamada-san, GATTACA staff-san, all the cute kids at the battle of the bands,
ladies and gentlemen who came to see it, thank you very much.


Ibiki kuso oyaji is a descriptive phrase, not exactly a name.
It's basically, "snoring shitty old man." Bad sleep hygiene, or
bad roommates?

http://instagr.am/p/BbE-pQxF7eB

Hi, it's me. We played Sangenjaya Heaven's Door today.
Iku-chan was singing the last one, so I cheered ☆
I had a good time 🤗 Thank you very much

http://instagr.am/p/BcQ8WScFqBM

I bought Getta Grip boots for about $30 in an American clothing store,
first time I've bought them. Yeah, I like 'em!

http://instagr.am/p/Bc1EgtdnbeL

Mayumin… what? A grannie? Romance Gray-yan.


Kin with her new Apple Watch and her old friend, photographer Mayumi Saito.

"-yan" is the Kansai mush-mouth version of "-chan". Romance Gray is a
concept borrowed from Americans: black hair with silver streaks — or
real and/or artificially silvered hair — is sexy, at first on men, but then
on anybody. This had a big vogue in 2016–17 among people over 25.

So the Jungles!!! might be losing the services of their short,
pumpkin-head adjunct front person.
