A Zen Lunatic Today, Tomorrow, and Forever / 永遠に禅ルナティック

 Dani, the lead singer of Zen Lunatics, went back to the States last week. While he was planning on eventually going back in search of his next stage in his journey as a Zen Lunatics, he had to go a bit sooner than planned for some medical treatment.

先週末Zen LunaticsボーカルのDaniが帰国した。禅探しを続けるために、以前からアメリカに帰るするつもりだったけど、少し治療が必要になったため早めの帰国になってしまった。

After a lifetime of putsing around on the guitar, going to shows, and some short-lived musical projects, this was my first proper band at the age of 27. I am so proud to have made such excellent music, played killer shows, and made some beautiful friends among my bandmates and in the scene.

今までギターの練習さぼったり、ライブ行きまったり、いろんな形で音楽ちょっとだけやったりしてきたけど、27歳になって初めてちゃんとバンドを組んだ。こんなに自分にとってもドツボの音楽作れて、楽しいライブ演奏できて、バンドメンバーをはじめ音楽会などで素晴らしい友達ができて本当に幸せ。

For me, the best symbol of our accomplishments as a band is our vinyl release of our first properly recorded record, “Sacred Mountain Blues”. Releasing the record has taught me so much about music and how cool the vinyl format is. You can listen to the whole thing here.

バンドの功績として残せたものと言えば、自分にとって一番大切なのは「Sacred Mountain Blues」のアナログレコードリリース。このリリースを出すにあたって、音楽やヴァイナルの魅力などたくさん学ぶ機会になった。こちらで全部無料で聞けるので是非。



Zen Lunatics is far from finished. We are planning on recording new music, with Dani recording vocals from overseas. We are still discussing how to release the new music.

ゼンルナは解散などしていない。新しい音源のレコーディングを計画している。日本で楽器録って、アメリカでボーカルだけ録って送ってもらう予定。

Also, I will cover for vocals for our two shows in November. Please come to our shows in Osaka on November 14th and Kyoto on November 28th if you are in town. Not only will we do our best to put on a killer show, but the other bands on those days are simply amazing.

11月の二つのライブも僕でボーカルをやる予定。大阪と京都、二つあるから近くの方はぜひ。みんな楽しませるライブも頑張るし、対バンのメンツは本当に最高。
