ON THE ROAD

[Machine Translation] We have seen so many places, but in fact, the first place we went on a tour that seemed like a tour was Kakogawa. We have had a good relationship with Kakogawa since then. Muscle Docking is a band that is not so old and has been working hard since that time. The first time I saw them live was too shocking. It was too cool. But they were a band that was really too honest and had been exploring how to sell themselves for a long time. I really wanted to get a band with such a great performance, compelling sound, and songs out there, so I asked them if they would be interested in joining my label. I asked them if they wanted to join my label. I guess they have always been a band without luck. But the fact that they have been doing what they do steadily for so long is truly wonderful. I have seen many bands break up. But they just keep going. Maybe it's the "positivity" that seeps out from their sound and style that makes it possible. Anyway, the live show is as good as ever. The soundtracks may be a good preparation for the show. This band is a live band. TAKE@SHACHI

「コレだけたくさんの土地を見てきた自分達だけど、実は一番初めにツアーらしいツアー で行った土地が加古川だった。その頃から加古川とは相性が良い。そんな土地に歳もそんなに変わらないバンドで、同じ頃からずっと頑張り続けているバンドがマッスルドッキングだった。初めて見たライブは衝撃的過ぎた。カッコ良すぎだった。ただ、本当に素直すぎて自分達の売り込み方をずっと手探りしているバンドだった。これほどのパフォーマンス、人をひきつけるサウンド、歌を持つバンドをどうしても世に出したくて、自分のレーベルに入らないか?と声をかけた。昔から運とかは無いバンドだろう。でも地道にずっとやり続けているところは本当に素晴らしい。解散していくバンドもたくさん見てきた。でも奴らはひたすらやり続けている。サウンド・スタイルの全てから染み出す「ポジティブ」がそれを可能にしているのかも知れない。とにかくライブは昔から変わらず気持ちいい。音源は予習材料かも知れない。このバンドこそがライブバンドなのだ。」(TAKE@SHACHI)
