In Japan Trivia
In Japan was not written in Japan.
Ethan randomly declared “we need a beat,” grabbed one of Jared’s sticks, and started hitting the floor tom and told Xander to Clap.
In Japan was written because Xander’s parents were in Japan, and he couldn’t call them until his clock read 7 PM, hence the enigmatic lyric: “my parents are in Japan, can’t call them ’till 7 PM.”
This entire project was recorded with a single mic. It was Jared’s favorite mic in his collection: a Sennheiser e935.
