A picture of buildings in Shanghai, posted for completion’s sake.  From the photo book The Japanese Fxxker Family.

The band at a press conference in Shanghai, Shinya waiting for said press conference to begin, and the reporters at the press conference.  I’m amused by how bored the reporter in the front row on the far left looks.

An oft-seen picture, but I never knew where it came from before.

These two really dark pictures are of Toshiya talking on the phone.

First three pages of The Japanese Fxxker Family.  The second picture is of, I believe, the police in Hong Kong.

I got a new book: [XX] The Japanese Fxxker Family: A pilgrimage capsizing the Islands. It came out in August of 2002, and contains pictures of the band’s trip to Taipei, Hong Kong, and Shanghai in April of 2002.

It’s a LONG book, I would guess around 300 pages or so. Some are blank, but most contain pictures. A lot, if not all, of the pictures are up on the internet already, and I’ve seen a bunch of them, but I never knew where they came from. Some of the pictures in the book are pretty bad; they’re very blurry or dark. I still intend to scan them and put them up.

A lot of the pictures don’t take up the entire page, but I’m going to crop them just because it looks better when on a computer screen.
