The Days Fade Away
Day 24 ~ Kansei's "other jobs" & more!
Yup, as the title suggests this post is all about the adorable guitarist kansei, and the return of The Days Fade Away project (sorry for the delay between posts)! The other day a Japanese fan posted about him being on the Fractal Audio Systems site, with a comment about their equipment.
Which yielded that lovely photo, something new we haven't seen from the TEN album photoshoot! His comment is pretty much that he's been using their stuff previously but now for Lives and Recording, he's using the Axe-Fx II. And that he can draw inspiration from the new sound! (Kinda? Someone correct me if I'm wrong)
And remember how in the earlier The Days Fade Away Post, he (and rui) were in the PV for OLIVIA Inpi' REIRA's "Wish"? Well kansei has also played guitar for OLIVIA multiple times and appeared in quite a few videos. Here are some I've managed to find:

And finally to end off the Kansei Post/ Bye Bye Monday Blues, have a message from him!
The funny story about this, linked to rui's message, was that when I went to ask rui to write a message he just drew a blank cause he didn't know what to write. So kansei, standing nearby, cuts in to say "I wrote a really long message!!" and rui flips through to see just how much kansei and the other band members had written. His response? "Oh shit." Ahahaha, and kansei was standing around being smug.
It's cute how he wrote #fadefamily. HASHTAG!
I guess the system is insidiously getting to him.
(but he doesn't remember he told everyone to send him more messages on twitter)
bummed I didn't manage to get a message from Godo and make a full set
P.S. When we reach 200 followers on twitter there'll be another giveaway!
