The other thing was that we started laying down basic tracks only two days after the end of our tour. We were in great playing shape. For me, it was great. I think drummers lose their shape more quickly than anyone in the band, so I was loose and ready to go. Actually, the basic tracks were laid down in only two weeks.
Japan is great.
We love home and our tours are very special, but when you are in Europe you would like to see the local crowd getting excited. The energy in Japan seems really good. The shows all sold out quickly and the single is being played on the radio. We are really excited about this tour. It is fun to know that we are going to perform songs well for a new audience.
