TAN Mitsugu: This issue has guitarist Ito Ginji's review of FZ's second Tokyo concert (1976/2/5). He reported: "Zappa's amp was not working well that day, so there was no encore, but he played for a full three hours. At the end of the show, Zappa himself explained about the amp problem, to which the audience gave a warm round of applause. It was an impressive ending". In addition, the front cover of this issue features an illustration of FZ by artist/animator Furukawa Taku.
