February 02, 2005 "Hello all!
Also the second concert in Tokyo was just great, even more people were coming to enjoy the show! We have been quite impressed that some of our fans had travelled the long way from Great Britain, Spain and New Zealand just to see us in Japan!
We came to Nagoya by train early today and Lauri is currently doing a live interview at Radio I where "In The Shadows" has been most played track last August!
Tonight we will be playing in a beautiful club called "Club Quattro" ... and tomorrow we`ll be travelling to Osaka for the last show on this tour. We`ll be showing some new pix from this trip as soon as possible!
All the best from Nagoya!
Aki, Lauri, Pauli & Eero"

There are two new wallpapers featuring The Rasmus, the first one features caps from "First Day of My Life" and the second one has caps from "Guilty".

Screen caps from the music video "Bittersweet" from Apocalyptica, featuring Lauri Ylonen (The Rasmus) and Ville Valo (HIM). There are 56 screen caps in the gallery. Since I now have software to convert videos, expect to see Guilty screen caps next!

A New CD!
There is a new CD out 'Maximum Rasmus'. Don't get to excited yet, its not their next music release. Its a biography cd, and can be found on HMV.co.uk. I am unsure whether its the members of The Rasmus speaking or someone else. If any additional information is found I will keep it updates, or if you know e-mail us. You will be credited for any information. Thank You!
