The 146 page book contains photos of all their gear, interviews, full discography, tourography (up to Jan. 2010), roots and influences, additional interviews with their sound tech / ESP bass designer / drum tech etc and transcriptions. Unfortunately the entire book is in Japanese. The photos are extremely high quality printed on glossy paper. There is also a mini pull out poster (same as the cover). The gear pics are also extremely detailed, including all the basses, sound system, Shinya's current setup from multiple angles, snare drums etc. A "Roots" section lists 30 CDs which have influences each player, with notes in Japanese. Bassists and drummers will really dig the rest of the book. The phrase analysis section breaks down bass and drum phrases from a lot of their songs. Included is the full band score of their latest single with the extremely long name I can't read, as well as 5 other songs with bass/drum/vocal transcription: WARE, YAMI TOTE... RYOUJOKU NO AME -saku- [KR]CUBE Cage It's everything you'd expect and more. A seriously good bargain for only $20.
