nyone who tells you putting together a bi-monthlymagazine is an easy task is blowing smoke. We bustour balls to get this out to you every two, but we enjoythe task. We took it upon ourselves, it’s a self-mandate, and wedig doing it.People ask me, “…how did you do it? How did you start?What did you do? ..how did you do it…”I tell them it started with an idea. Then it blossomed intoa project. Then it took shape as a reality. Now it’s in yourhands…Life is like that. It begins as some concept, a wish maybe,if enough energy is invested into that wish, it expands likelungs. When that energy meets some quark of opportunity,BANG, an explosion happens in sub-space and the thingbecomes real.Spring arrives sort of like that too. It’s cold, interminably.Your bones hurt, your spirit cries for warmth, your skin needsto breathe, there are a million smiles to be had. Green grass,outdoors, naked legs, life heats up, it’s good then. Spring is anew chance at romance. The return of hope. Love is in the air,breathe it in.We banged out our first ROCK THIS TOWN in March,made some money for less fortunate folks in Haiti, and blewthe doors off the HARD ROCK CAFÉ with Nagoya’s finestmusicians like no one’s business. RTT was a loud-ass WE’REHERE from the mouth of Nagoya to the world.We’re doing it again. Soon. Details to follow…in early July we’ve got the hottest FOURTH OF JULY BANG BANGBOOGIE party you’ve ever been to. It’ll be on Facebook andeverywhere else. Sit tight..What are you doing? What are you making? Planningsomething? Show? Speak? Sing? Play?Show it in RAN. We’re for you. We’re on your side. We areLady GaGa for you mon frère. Dozou. Come inside, we’re allinside. IRRASHAIMASEN…welcome!They say if you don’t have your health, you don’thave anything. We agree. Health is golden . NevermindGoldenWeek, how about Golden Life.We put this issue together thinking about how we couldhelp ourselves, and you, become healthier, but we did it inRAN style.TDHouchen, RANPublisher
