- Misc. ramblings by Esther, Yuko, Joe and Dirk - between some tracks on the CD there are tongue twisters in Dutch and Japanese. These were collected by the band on a European tour:
- at the end of track 1: Acht-en-Tachtig-Prachtige-Grachten
This is Dutch for "88 (achtentachtig) beautiful (prachtige) canals (grachten)." - at the end of track 3: Tonari no kyaku wa yoku kaki kuu kyaku da
This is a Japanese tongue twister (hayakuchi kotoba) meaning "The adjacent (tonari) customer (kyaku) eats (kuu) persimmons (kaki) often (yoku)." - at the end of track 4: Zes-en-Zestig-Sinaas-Appel-Schillen
This is again Dutch and means "66 (zesenzestig) orange (sinaasappel) peels (schillen)." - at the end of track 5: Hottentotten-Tenten-Tentoonstellingen
Dutch tongue twister meaning "(an) exhibition of tents made by the Hottentots." - at the end of track 6: Chikushō, nante hidee sandoicchi da
Japanese meaning "Damn (chikushō)! How awful (hidee) this sandwich (sandoicchi) is!" - at the end of track 10: Acht-en-Tachtig-Prachtige-Grachten
See first tongue twister.
