Yama = Mountain in Japanese. That may tell you something.

[b]Yama[/b]naka, Naka[b]yama[/b], and Jiro... I'm betting that Jiro's name must have a "yama" in it.
I was wondering the same thing about the record label. This is their first release, so I am guessing that it's a self release. I get the impression that Jiro has a large part in the production. Nearly everything from the official Predators' site is hosted by GLAY's site.

Genius. Three mountains/Yamas.
That's using the old noodle.

I bet this has some sort of major label backing though, seems like it has the potential to be pretty big in the Japanese charts.

after a bit of googling, jiro's real name appears to be yoshihito wayama (和山義仁). so there ya go.

I figured it was something like that.
Hey half of my last name means mountain in Swede. You think we're related?

I don't like the thought that if you don't compare the predators to any other bands, they are good. You have to compare it to something unless you just want the words "it's good" to mean nothing coming from your mouth.

you have to do that with anything. it all just depends on your taste and what you're using as a standard whether something is "good" or not, though.
i personally haven't heard the predators yet, so i have no opinion.
