Well, if this isn’t a dream come true…

Early next year, lynch. is embarking on a two-man tour with none other than MERRY. Supposedly, negotiations took place over a phone call between MERRY’s spasmodic vocalist GARA and lynch.’s stoic guitarist Reo.

Random Fact of the Day

Ash — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 01:13:18 +0000

Today’s Random Fact comes from Gara of Merry. When asked about how many hours, on average, of sleep he gets a night he answered “About three. [I] generally do not want to sleep.”

That’s pretty hardcore, Gara. In case you were wondering, Big Ern needs at least 10 hours of sleep to function.

A memorial live by Merry

Adrienne — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:32:38 +0000

A few months ago, FOOL’S MATE’s editor in chief, Toujou, passed away.

As a tribute, メリー (Merry) have announced that they will be having a free live on December 24th at Shibuya O-EAST.

The members felt that he took care of them, and wanted to do something in his memory. After giving it some thought, they felt that they wanted to show their gratitude towards him through a performance.

They are holding the show at Shibuya O-EAST, because that is the first place that Toujou came to see them perform live. The band has also announced that they will be playing his favourite songs. They hope that on that day, along with their fans, they can send their music to Toujou in heaven.

On December 24th, starting at 1:00pm they will be distributing tickets. The ticket numbers are random and on a first come first serve basis. They ask fans to not stand in line over-night waiting.
