* 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.
