hello, i announced about AMT & TMP U.F.O.'s release and European tour on AMT message board "Hello Acid Brothers & Sister!!!" in AMT official website.
also i post many topics, answers of anyone's questions and something else...
please check it out...!!

unfortunately here "myspace blog" is not useful for me... if you'd like to know more news and topics, you should check AMT's message board.
unfortunately, sometime someone can't post to our message board especially from some providers outside of Japan. that's why that message board has security system against fuckin' spamers... (last our message board was attacked by lots of spamers suddenly... so i changed to new one in a couple years ago...)
if you can't post from your providers, you should try to post by other network of other provider...
this is the URL of AMT's message board.

finally Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. has come back to Tokyo tonight!!!!
i'm not sure it will be the final chance to see AMT & TMP U.F.O. in Tokyo or not...
anyway it's the first one-man show of AMT & TMP U.F.O. in Tokyo on AMT's history!!!
although AMT & TMP U.F.O. played a short set in Tokyo on March 2007 as the support act of Trad Gras och Stenar when i organized their Japan tour, it was the first show in Tokyo since February 1999...
on all of AMT & TMP U.F.O.'s history, we have played in Tokyo only 4 times since the first show in Japan 1998... it means people in many cities in outside of Japan have seen our shows much more times than Tokyo people...!! i heard many foreigners in Japan (especially in Tokyo) said why they couldn't see AMT's show in Japan since they were in Japan, though they had seen some AMT shows in outside of Japan!!??
Japanese Acid brothers & sisters can join with AMT Festival in Nagoya in each December... but always we have special guest musicians. so they haven't seen "original" AMT & TMP U.F.O., there were only a few chance... tonight, we play with just regular members same as last US and European tours. we're going to play "full set" for 3 hours! also the greatest psychedelic liquid lighting team in Japan OHPIA play with us too!!! it means really "full line-up" for us!!!
if you're in Japan (not just around Tokyo!), please check out tonight's show in Tokyo!! i'm not sure it will be the final chance or not in Tokyo...
see you tonight!!! LET'S ROCK!!!!!!!!!
