Their case art is very arty. It must be as much nightmare to scan as it would be to print. 
The scans are actually easier to read without squinting than the original artifacts. 

I don't think I've ever seen an obi strip printed on two sides before, but it makes sense 
considering how they're collected and carefully preserved. 

I'm making an effort to get some English done for milkway songs, and it is an effort. 
But they're a message band, so you kinda have to get the message out of it. 


〜〜〜


Milkyway's album artist has consistently been Kaori's friend Yui Kojima.

We aren't told how they know each other, but they got together at the beginning
of September for a weekend beach holiday with a posse of other scene buddies.

Today I'm staying at the home of milkway artwork-maker Kojima Yui-chan. YAYYY
She loaned me this AC/DC t-shirt as a substitute for pajamas.
The impression of wearing the boyfriend's clothing.

I'm sleeping next to Yui-chan. I've been sleeping next to somebody for a long time.
It's nice. It reminds me of how my favorite thing used to be lying in bed holding hands
with that person, only that the lingering summer heat is a touch oppressive.

The tangled-up sheets, the stupid sleep-talking, the breeze from the fan,
the sweaty shirts, eating chocolate ice cream in bed, I loved it like an idiot.

But, I'll forget about it properly,
There are a lot of areas I don't have memories of
Now that there are many special people, it's all right.

It's just that sometimes I'll open them up and take them out.
Because I loved him, I want to view them.

Although there are a lot of foul memories
I don't want to bring back any more
Looking back just to be nostalgic, because I always loved him.



And... it was off to the beach on the island of Awaji, just 2 hours and one
incredible coastal suspension bridge across the Akashi Straits from Osaka.

Since it's flat and sandy in the photos, good chance it's Ohama Beach
on the eastern side.

It's sunny on Awajishimaーーー

Really awesomely drunk


Looks like sunburn, but actually is Asian Alcohol Flush.

Here's some Awajishima travelogue from a guy whose English-teacher
gig landed him in that hell on earth, HHOK...

As you said, they're a message band and it would be nice to know the message.

The only thing I know for certain is it was written about someone she knew at school and things which happened. I keep meaning to watch the videos for the songs on this album in the right order as an ongoing story appears to be getting told. A Milkyway concept album?

eo Music TRY 2017 – final battle


Holy moley, milkyway made it to the live finals at BIGCAT
in Osaka Shinsaibashi on December 16th.



I honestly didn't expect this to work out for them.


"Promotion doesn't work," you say.
"Quality always finds its own level," you say.

Maybe… but apparently what does work is having all your fans and all your friends and all your fans' friends
and all your friends' fans nag their friends and family and acquaintances and random strangers and pets
to vote for you, for a couple of months without letup. Because that's how they made the popularity cut.



Final round contestants in name order


7 artists out of 60 went forward. Milkyway beat other bands that maybe they should
not have beaten — the Tomboys, to name but one.

It matters a lot whether they take the Grand Prix award against the odds, because that
means ￥200K cash for the band, plus iTunes distribution in 117 countries with all fees paid.

But it's already a decent shot in the arm. Something highly visible working for a change.

Kaori-way student of human nature

http://instagr.am/p/BbTtrCOgEaN

This was interesting. A psychopath isn't a person who's fixated
on abnormal things. It's also excessive egocentricity.
Recently I consider that it refers to people who can't comprehend love.
Nagoshi-san's writing style is easy to understand.


The cover type reads:

The dangerous characters in your vicinity!
STORIES OF PSYCHOPATHS

Such people hiding in society close to you
「INSIDE PERSONALITY」Read and understand!


Sounds like a beginner's introduction to show business.
Kaori always has afterthoughts. She comments on herself.

In actuality though, I like guro, like quite a number of thoughtful friends.
Since it's completed within 2 dimensions or 2.5 dimensions, it doesn't
extend to three dimensions.

In other words, I'm not crazy because I indulge in ghastly fantasies
as long as they don't break out into real life.

For any who haven't encountered it, guro-for-grotesque
is a horror genre especially suited to the lapidary detail
and aestheticized frozen events you get with manga
like nowhere else.



Vanilla cover. It's for kids.

It doesn't stop at simple grotesquerie. Any kind of disturbing fetish is fine,
any kind of cruelty or perversion or derangement, psychological horror,
body horror, weird gross-outs, your worst nightmares to the nth degree.

Who'd suspect Kaori's circle would be into that…




Moved by fine art

http://instagr.am/p/BbZIbZEAHGP

Disney Art exhibition!! The moment you enter they have original artwork of
Steamboat Willy, I cried. It's full of original art of my favorite scenes.
I cried about 5 times in all, saying "Totoi" (sacred, priceless).

http://instagr.am/p/BbbyIOUgbAf

Live video clips from 19 October. This is the title scene…



Kaori-way just got back from a short private vacation to Okinawa. Playing tourist,
looking at historic artifacts, pondering leftovers from the apocalyptic Battle of Okinawa
in spring 1945. She wrote songs. Felt lonely coming back to Osaka, even though
she'd been on her own for a week.

http://instagr.am/p/BblHoKEg56X

Gigantic Okinawan lion-dog!

http://instagr.am/p/BbprLXYg0d2

Yesterday, although I was supposed to go to see a show, I ended up singing.

On my recent trip, I got to love singing!!!!!

I was thinking to myself, "I wonder if my music will be unacceptable to the
general public?" but when I was on the street in Okinawa I was surprised
at how many said, "you've got a clear voice" or "that's a lovely voice".
I was filled with happiness. A trip can reset a lot of different things!




Then it was on to Hiroshima to see her sempais Bump of Chicken and tourist around
a little more. It's Kaori, so naturally she visited the Peace Memorial park… at night.

http://instagr.am/p/BbsUdDFADrS

Viewed at night the atmosphere is something else again.
There was an impact. Even the feeling that it was beautiful.

http://instagr.am/p/BbuL61rgOh0

After a long while I was glad to make loud roaring sounds
with my boyfriend (the Jazzmaster).

Our name on Twitter is currently
"milkyway Kaori 12/16 BIGCAT" 

[ Notice ]
Belated Report
milkyway's
"I Want to See You in Hell" etc.
6 representative songs
At LINE MUSIC, Apple Music, spotify, KK BOX
Distribution has begun!

Let's make them songs on the LINE home screen ~! 👿


That's the spirit, but you'll have to bump off Ed Sheeran duetting
with Beyoncé. Or maybe just BLUE ENCOUNT.

My workroom is cold, so lately I'm making songs exclusively dressed like this.
Stupid
I wrote a song to a very nice girl

To start with, I was a shadow character during my school days [ i.e., gloomy and withdrawn ]
When you're bullied, your friends are terribly few
Looking for band members who'll always be together and what's more
who understand my songs is really difficult, but if you find them it's a miracle,
I think that members like that can make music that's like a miracle

DRUMMER WANTED〜


She's been thinking about bands like Tokyo Jihen, Midori, Chatmonchy,
that are part of a lot of people's lives long after they've finished, and
wondering how far milkyway can get. "I can well understand the feeling
of wanting it to be over," she says.

She's also been drag-ass fatigued recently.

I went to Ame-mura Heaven!!
For the time being, I'm with Ryuu-kun from LOVESIX ＼(^-^)／ cheers
A yakitori moment

Kaori-way again
The LINE home screen songs
"I Want To See You In Hell" was there!

Everybody let's make a match! \(^-^)/

(I'm sorry about the Rokumi-sempai icon, I really like Rokumi-sempai, it's painful).

I.e., I am painfully geeky about Rokumi-sempai.

Grown-out forelocks
My boyfriend of the time liked long hair
Even the green guitar was a matching color

Thinking about it now, I'd say it was unreasonable
But if it was for the person I like, I was ready to do the unreasonable

The long hair and the green guitar both
They're all gone, but

Now it's myself I like

Life with Kaori, Pt. I

http://instagr.am/p/Bb2E0jkgs6J

When I would take a stuffed Chucky toy to bed, I would always be seeing
myself strangled in dreams (Curse of Chucky…?). After switching to Figaro,
I no longer dream about being strangled. LOL

The BL [ Boy's Love ] book at the bedside bears witness.



OK, one for Disney. This next one isn't just cosplay.

http://instagr.am/p/Bb4oprZAB8F

I do short-term service at a certain Shinto shrine, the girls are all cute and
gentle, it's healing. Girls are priceless.

Because talking with girls of the same age is declining with the disappearance
of school, it's very good encouragement. When I consulted them about romance,
I was told straight off, "Meh, a guy like that is useless, on to the next one!"
Something refreshing.

Next one, let's go! LOL Somehow since I went traveling I'm breaking through
a number of things, it's fun!

http://instagr.am/p/BcBJnF7ATAh

Slight progress. In the middle of producing a song with a kawaii feeling.
It's very fun…


Just one of the things going on at the workstation in the winter-chilled spare room.
It's the same kind of chords as ever, but the holiday spirit seems to have taken over.

[tangerinesun]

Life with Kaori, Pt. II



Don't get the idea that there's nothing for her to obsess over, though.

http://instagr.am/p/BcB5VQPg-fK

Getting up with no makeup on. Skin tone good. The hair is tousled from sleeping
after scrupulous care before going to bed. The next morning, my mom said,
"Please go to bed *after* you take off your makeup!" Since I was barefaced,
I was rather happy she said that.


Problems I'm always glad not to have.

The vaguely medical looking blue gizmo at Kaori's left looks like a home version
of professional massage machines that wiggle your legs by the ankles until a
jelly-like state is achieved.

http://instagr.am/p/BcGEYCAAEfu

When we were in our middle-school years, gal characters."

I wrote out the setlist
Late night studio, the limit of what I can drink


"Chuugaku jidai ni ita gyaru no jitai", which doesn't rhyme in English.

Kaori demonstrated a little of the kind of private writing system schoolgirl
cliques use to make notes and text messages harder for outsiders to understand.
Her dog-loving commentator thinks her code is at the level of elementary
school, though. That'll make you feel old.

http://instagr.am/p/BcK3JdKAxJv

Thank you for always being by my side

Building the case for that Fender factory endorsement.

Life with Kaori, Pt. III


At club Circuit as part of the district-wide 2017 Shimokitazawa Nite…

http://instagr.am/p/BcL_9NZAPMg

Shimokitazawa Nite 12 o'clock — a sellout with milkyway as top batter!
Thank you very much – – – It was insanely fun today.
I got some sort of courage.

http://instagr.am/p/BcNW1S5AqcT

Although I thought it would be anyway, when I missed my bus
the cast party turned out to be the most entertaining

Shimokitazawa Nite, truly the greatest

I was glad I could talk guitars for a little bit with the guitarist
for ircle, Nakamichi-san.


And, you know, swap CDs. Did I tell you I'm on iTunes?
But there are ups and there are downs.

[tangerinesun]

Life with Kaori, Pt. IV

http://instagr.am/p/BcPxaxpA77V

It's a long while since I felt so stressed that rice wouldn't go down my throat.
My stomach hurts〜. Naturally when someone is saying bad things
about you behind the scenes, it's draining. I want to get used to it quickly.
As quickly as I can, I want to get to a place in which the wounds are filled
with scars that don't know pain.

Oh, on sarahah there's not a single anti-message for now, everyone is kind!

I got the Samantha Thavasa Nightmare collaboration wallet! I love Samantha
and Jack because they're truly cute〜〜〜〜my favorite Nightmare Before Christmas
time. Happy. The kind words of fan kids and people around me, and Jack
are my mental support right now.


Thumbnail enamel buffed off by rubbing on guitar strings

Sarahah seems to be a messaging service not unlike a mixi community,
where anyone can DM a person's account, and you can create an ID
for yourself and become a topic or a discussion leader and build a
reputation with your comments... I haven't tried it.

It seems obvious that this would quickly become a troll hatchery
even worse than Twitter without some kind of controls.

http://instagr.am/p/BcQey5mA1Qz

Going to bed I thought surely I'll be well when I wake up
Although I felt that I was weak

My favorite novelist says,

"Nete wasureru youna iyana koto nante iyana koto janaishi,
nete wasureru youna koi nante, koi janakatta n janai no"

I felt happy because it was as if s/he'd guessed what was in my heart.

I have stomach pain since yesterday.
The toughest times are when mental disorder comes out in the body.
The moon was beautiful.


I can't tell who Kaori's author is, but in my inelegant English
I think the basic sentiment is, 

"As there is nothing unpleasant that is so unpleasant you forget to sleep,
a love such that you forget to sleep is not and was not love."


It looks like one thing that tipped her apple cart was being harassed on
sarahah by a persistent scary guy with problems. She's been using the
service as an unsupervised psychotherapy support group, which keeps
her in direct communication with the core audience.

Kaori bends over backwards to make herself available to fans and has
no intention of cutting back, so this kind of thing will keep cropping up.
Especially considering whom-all she caters to.

[tangerinesun]

On tour in snow country

Arrived in Hokkaido, Aaaaaaaaaa!!
Naturally the snow is piled up amazingly

I'm waiting for you at Sapporo Spiritual Lounge
Starting 8:45pm〜!!!

Tomorrow I'll be waiting at mole!!!

As expected, milkyway were earth-shattering. Extreme emo
and top melodies, they were commendably HAMO. They showed
us seriously amazing things. Tomorrow there's an extra-long
live at mole!

milkyway, if you lick it you're sure to get burned.
Get your hands up high, they're super-hot now!


I don't write this stuff, I only try to understand it.

HAMO turns out to be slang for harmony.
Milkyway must have had Tier 1 vocal harmonies.

The licking metaphor seems to come from licking the
proverbial hot skillet, but nameru is also used for
having a taste or just trying something out.

Today's setlist

Asayake   (Morning Glow)
Jigoku de aitai   (I Want to See You in Hell)
SNS ni korosare-sou   (SNS Is Gonna Kill Me)
Sekai de ichiban kanashī koto   (The Saddest Thing in the World)
Boku no koto dake aishite hoshii   (I Want You to Love Only Me)
Juudai to ereki   (Teenager and Electric Guitar)

That's it!

I'll change the setlist tomorrow, tomorrow's setlist has a pretty YAY! feeling.
It'll be insanely fun, come to Sapporo mole!!!

Dangerous snow, -7°C LOL


"Dangerous" was yabai, so take that anyway you want.

Seven below zero is pretty nippy for an Osaka kid. I think the locals
would call that kind of snow accumulation just ground cover.

http://instagr.am/p/BcaoQPUgWxd

Hokkaido is amazing. Really cold, it's fun.

[tangerinesun]

What December is really like

http://instagr.am/p/BcSPYcGAWRA

In the city illumination   You are an illusion
The moon's face swinging like a trapeze——

The look of the city streets went to my head
With the illumination by artificial light
And the fallen autumn leaves by the providence of Nature

A wonderful match I thought
They looked like gold

Since I got completely lost like a little child it was lame
I very much like Umeda at this season, it's beautiful



〜〜〜〜〜



If Kaori ever decided that she did want to grow up after all,
this is how she might look. She looks so much more like an
adult that I was positive about her dress before herself.

http://instagr.am/p/BcWuT2ZgFTP

I made an appearance in the MV "I Can't Do Sex" from 3markets[ ]
Because they're my very favorite band, I was mechakucha happy to be invited
I was told, "We're sorry for making you sing funny," but they were really sympathetic.
Everyone who's tired of being ruled by sexual desire, please listen without fail.



And you get just what it says on the label. I don't feel this is any kind of an
amazing MV. It think they got Kaori-way because they didn't have anything
else very interesting going on.

There's never a moment when you believe that the singing or playing are in
any sense coming from Kaori... and what they do to those guitars is a crime.

Soredemo sekai ga tsudzukunara are emo punks from Chiba, and the album's producer
is their songwriter/guitarist. The influences they claim are all '90s grunge and alt-rock
icons with a little shoegaze thrown in.

3markets[ ] named the album in their honor.

Their own name used to be 「3markets co,ltd.」but they made it partly blank 
after a change in membership.

eo Music TRY 2017 is over


We've had the annual spectacle of everybody trying all-out to be winners,
and the majority going home losers.

Kaori's going to need to change her Twitter name association back to
something more real-world.

I don't really think too well of the contest format for bands, it's kind of a
ridiculous blood rite. But we do love that sort of thing.

There will be an edited show documentary from BIGCAT sometime later.

Gathering tremendous support in the hearts of the young generation
with a sensational composition, the third group is "milkyway"! It's a
powerful singing voice, the kind that appeals directly to the emotions!!!!



OK, sure, whatever. Third Group was their fated appointment, or disappointment.
The grand prize went to Mae @vo9mae, an impassioned and occasionally
strident teenaged singer-songwriter from Kyoto.

[ Please distribute ]

milkyway
io Music TRY
We received the Special Jury Award

Naturally I wanted to take the Grand Prix there are frustrated feelings
But today's tears were cried for joy

It's a completely different feeling from three years before
It was enough that we could make the greatest live with everyone

I really love everybody
Thank you


Now, this is not nothing. This is quite something, and the supporters
have been lavish with their congratulations. But I know that Kaori
was hoping to break through to a higher tier. The point of these things
from an artist's perspective is to have the industry tell you that, yes,
you have what it takes and you are a real winner in our eyes.
So it's not a decisive victory, it's living to fight another day.


〜〜〜〜〜


Comic relief segment

The first time Kaori changed the strings on her best friend… she was
baffled by the patented Fender wander-matic floating tailpiece.

To this day, replacing guitar strings takes a hyper-long time
I'm still not used to changing strings on the Jazzmaster
I was searching frantically for about 10 minutes for
non-existent holes in the base of the bridge
They were underneath

The first time I replaced the strings it took around 5 hours
By the end I was beyond incomprehension, I was crying


And the photo shows that the tail is indeed as low as it can go under string tension.

If you took all the strings off at once, with the tremelo unlocked, the compensating spring
underneath might make the string holes in the tailpiece sink out of sight. And Kaori's guitar
has its trem arm pulled off, so there's nothing to lever them back up into the light of day.

[mikado-AKA-Shoknifeman]

She calls her Jazzmaster guitar, her boyfriend? Geez, she can do a lot better!

[tangerinesun]

So, the best kind of voyeurism is enjoying somebody else's successes.



Three years previous:

The first group is "milkyway"!




Here's a portrait of the picked-on little high-school schlub
with no friends, who's scared to death but dared to enter
a high-profile regional band competition anyway:

Picture from three years ago at eo

We both have long hair

60-second timeout


"Nanka Shoukou ikitte haru" looks to be slang usage of IKITTERU
that's more typical of Osaka than elsewhere. It means blustering,
posing, or fronting larger than you really are, and it's a put-down.

Zokugo-dict says, "It was spread through Yankee comics and movies
that were popular in the 1970s, now not often used."
zokugo-dict.com/02i/ikiru.htm 


How Osaka people use "IKITTERU"...
Many unexpectedly negative opinions
matome.naver.jp/odai/2145640179581089901 

A list of things some Osaka natives consider IKITTERU includes:
• Asking for wine instead of beer when you sit down at a bar
• Ordering the cheese fondue at a beer pub
• Rushing to get the newest iPhone
• Referring to "Miles Davis" when everyone knows it's MAIRUSU


• This posture when you reverse a vehicle… I guess somehow it's like
   showing off in front of the girl, I don't really see the problem:


Such manly backing-up ♡


• Singing English karaoke with eyes shut, to prove you don't need subtitles


That's what I call very, very sensitive to anyone trying to get one-up on you.

Now you're just weakly fishing for praise: 

My hair is short as a boy's
Moreover, I'm working hard on my abs now

When getting into the bath
When seeing oneself in the mirror

"Yabai, you're coming out looking like a femme boy in a BL manga!!!
I was thinking that about myself

Somebody scold me please


No, you go girl. Abs of steel




Everything I felt about eo Music TRY: 

I wrote a lot of different feelings that I could not write on Twitter
Please read〜〜!!


Yeah, she did. It goes on and on. It's something to read. Observing that better-known
bands like KANA-BOON and Yabai T-Shirt Shop broke out after being seen at eo Music TRY,
she looks at the experience of coming back from striking out three years earlier.
"It was only 15 minutes, but it's engraved in memory for a lifetime."

She reviewed the grinding to scrape up enough fan votes to rise from below 15th-ranked to
a concert slot among the top 6. That involved cosplay solicitation on the street, by a person
who's shy and struggles with self-confidence. Kaori-way, how badly do you want this?

Milkyway did 3 songs:

1) Morning Glow
2) I Want to See You in Hell
3) Teen with an Electric Guitar

They were greeted by a sea of milkyway muffler towels. The emotions of hearing her name called
at the awards presentation, for the award she wanted least, but still getting called when so many
good bands didn't… and three years ago, *she* didn't… Incautiously, she drank her face off at
the after-party and had to sit down in a kind of stupor while people hovered over her.

What was novel was, she was out of it and they were still concerned about her.
She knows how lucky she is to be getting so much attention, and she's grateful.

And she wants fans to know that this is the band's start, not its peak.



Remembering the importance of being polite:

Osaka BIG CAT
"Eo Music Try 2017"

Thank you once again

milkyway
got the "Special Jury Award"! (i.e., third-place honors)

It is a precious prize that I captured together with all the fans. I will cherish it all my life

Everyone who cheered and supported me
It really helped
The whole crew who were at that stage

The next goal is a BIG CAT one-man!
Thank you



Everyone's a critic, but this is YabaT talking:

I was watching the live stream. Milkyway and Kawachi REDS did the best.


Kawachi REDS are Kaori's friends.
They didn't receive any award in this year's competition.
I can kind of hear Rudyard Kipling harrumphing into his moustache.

[tangerinesun]

And where then is Shoko!!?
Underexposure is one thing, non-existence is another



Oh, he's there when you need him, and not when you don't.
Like furniture.

I met Kaori-chan and Shoko-kun from milkyway! I'm so happy!

Sapporo snow is too much, it accumulates on your body MĀBŌ (‘ー‘)/


It's support drummer MĀBŌ in the photo

Something I wanted to do no matter what (‘ー‘)/

Thanks everybody



Dude, we need to work on the quality of personal presence.
You're a good looking guy. Your band is on the rise. 
Your days of self-effacement are growing short.

[tangerinesun]

Destroy Pop band Powann broke up because Vo./Gt./songwriter MĒBI MOE and
Ba. MARINA TEE-SHAN quit in July, and that didn't leave much. Although their
website makes no mention of it. Last scheduled gig was in September.
natalie.mu/music/news/239452 

The decisive factor today having pancakes at gram with ex. Powan MĒBI MOE,
I watched MOE-sama sing and play!

There's an historic masterpiece called "I'll Curse You if You Don't Say I'm Cute"
When I heard it live, somehow I cried (why, I wonder) I thought,
but I thought, I guess it's because of the soul being there

And the pancakes were fluffy besides




Mutual regard, when are you guys getting married?

I ate fluffy pancakes with Kaori-chan from milkyway
before the live 🤤 🥞 💓
To overstate it, I understand the story of Kaori-chaaaannn!!
