Studio Life〜The Stalker in the Attic

今春、屋根裏に上がったら巣のような奇妙な物を見つけた。何だろうと不思議に思っていた。7月に入ると屋根裏で引きずる音がして寝れない夜があった。そのうち猛暑が到来何時の間にか静かになった。一体何だったんだろうか?This spring, it is found that there is something strange like a nest in the attic. Wondering what it is. In July, there are some nights when I cannot sleep well due to nasty sounds like dragging something in the attic. Such a sound has gone since the heat wave attacks in a meantime. What the hell is going on there?

JAT〜試練と憧れの剱岳

Studio Life〜The Home Theater

The corridor, to some extent, would ensure the best environment for the home theater. While it accommodates only up to 100 inches of screen, it generates a dark environment even during daylight. The artificial turf ground produces an open-air atmosphere like an outdoor theater as well together with the best analog audio equipment in place. There is no unsophisticated one who does not vigorously pursue with establishment of the home theater in such an excellent environment. Kick off for realization!
