Epson sent us a pile of pictures from yesterday’s event, so I’ve added a new gallery for them.

And the shirts have arrived! Go buy some!

At 2:30PM on Monday, August 27th, we will be hosting a special event at Suma’s Umi-no Ie. The relentless heat of the sun will probably boil your cytoplasm, but eight (or more) local Kansai bands will be on hand to apply rock directly to your face, including Watusi Zombie, Ni Hao!, BLONDnewHALF, Animations, Hori Yuuji, knock note alien, Oshiri Pen-pens, as well as your friendly neighborhood Hidari. Quit your job and come dance under the giant ball of fire with us.

This will be canceled in the event of inclement weather. If anything other than diamonds is falling from the sky, you might want to stay at home.

Everyone already has their plane tickets, right? This will be an day epic ballads will be sung about for generations to come.

Too late, jerks!
You’ll have to wait and pick from the three final colors like all the other proles.

We’ve sent in the final design to the printers. Until August 14th (Japan time) when they begin to actually manufacture the shirts, we can put in special requests for specific size/color combinations. After that, there will be a limited range to choose from. See the chart below:

Pricing will be ¥1800 per shirt. Shipping will be ¥500 for each shirt within Japan. International rates will be the same as in the store (probably around ¥700 standard airmail to North America/Europe). If you’d like to specially request a shirt within the next few days, just send an e-mail to haikarahidari@gmail.com with your full name and the color and size you’d like. Requesting a t-shirt is not a blood oath: if you change your mind later and decide not to buy it, no big deal.
