*Lolita No.18 v.s. Joey Ramone -New York-*
1998 April 23 16:23. The NW018 flight carrying Lolita No.18 arrived at New York JFK International Airport. After finishing the entry formalities they headed straight for Manhattan. Of course, Lolita's stay was at the common place for artists, Chelsea Hotel.
 Wearing sunglasses. Black scull T-shirt and a black jacket. Leather pants and at the foot is unexpectedly, a New Balance shoe! (We have been thought Ramones are wearing Converse!)Lolita meet up with Punk pioneer,Joey Ramone,who would be the producer of the next CD. The rupturing Lolita directly played the recording songs. Get lots of precious advice and in the end they played The Ramones number "ROCKAWAY BEACH" with Joey! From the next day, even though Joey's collaborated producer which is also an engineer Daniel Ray, insisted on better work, Lolita No.18 finished taking 13 songs in a few days. (Are they actually a genies? Audrey says that they are THE FOUR since The Beatles but is it true?) Since Lolita had some leeway, they went to Hi-Standard's liveshow , Ronny Specter's live show with Joey, the popular musical "Blue Man Group" and  fully enjoyed New York . Then they took photos with Joey and did shooting for "ROCKAWAY BEACH" Promotional Video. The stage was Baby Monster Studio and the downstairs apartment which Lolita was living during the recordings. The cameraman was Bob Gruen who is famous of taking New York's legendary music scene. Recording, snaps, PV, needless to say, they all came out to be a master piece of Lolita No.18's history.
--While Lolita was in New York, Enazo married her comedian boyfriend on TV and it was broadcast to Japan with much excitment.

*Visit New York again and "FUBO LOVE NY" on sale*

encounter.(They were robbed)  The band came back in a hurry on June 22 and directly turn out to Shinjuku to do a fan club project called "Let's go buy "FUBO LOVE NY" with Lolita" on the on sale day. That reminds me, between the rehearsal of 7/5 Confrontation of The Century BENTEN v.s K.O.G.A. At on On Air East, Lolita No.18 held the first YALITAMIN Gathering! In spite of the short time, photography, Q&A, video show, it was full of Lolita. The next project is decided to be Lolita's rehearsal on view and a session tournament with the fan. (Now planning/probability to be realized 60%)

*FUBO LOVE TOUR-THE NEVER ENDING SUMMER-*
♪OWARA～NAI NATSU, KIMI GA KAWAA～TA♪RHAPSODY IN BLUE♪ Ena Zou, Kim☆Rin and Aya-Bou comes out on the stage dancing with the lilting SE! The place became in an uproar. "Ena-Zou congratulation on your marriage! (?)", "Hang in there, team d○ck lovers!" "Aya, touch my Turtle too!!" the member answer to the shouting and the jeering with a smile, what  entertainers! Rice shower, Snoopy, Doraemon goods flying though the air, The moment the band starts to play, Ishizaka Masayo suddenly comes out from stage right! "Fubo toro" then "Flying Kuro"!
As hot as the middle of summer on '98 September 1 Kanazawa, the FUBO
TOUR started. From Hokkaido to Kyushu 25 places though out Japan. Lolita
typhoon ran through Japan! Besides the shows at the each place,they pay respects
to the record shops, go on radio, and TV, a tremendous schedule. By the way,
when they went on Kyushu's popular TV show "Do mo!", there was a rush of
inquiries of was Lolita was cooking, a curry or a curry like miso soup or
what! (actually it was a Lolita Chanko Nabe-if you want a recipe please
include a stamped, self-addressed envelope and send it to BENTEN Label) When the tour approached to the meddle, is had completely changed to Autumn Ena missed her beloved and thought about him, Aya and Kim☆Rin became having a big appetite and the Chanko which they were eating since Sapporo became larger. Masayo's hair has grown to her shoulder, and no one said "I thought the vocal was a boy" or "she looks like Chita" no more.
Started to north and went to Kyushu, the South, ever were was full and
was successful till Shelter-SOLD OUT- the finale.

This CD was released on March 18th(once again,my b-day ^_^) with Lolita No.18 Secret History Photo book!
