i'm back in sweden, but will update my state of mind in a few days, i just want to post these youtube clips from last sunday's gig with Taisuke Tsugimatsu and me. for just having rehearsed all songs twice, i think we did a helluva job, and many in the audience called it "magic" or "miraculous". both taisuke and me want to do more gigs and collaborations together, so we'll see when that can be.
here are the clips:
NATSU NO NUMA - taisuke's amazingly beautiful song, i join him for some lines (in japanese).
GREEN TEA FARM - hiromi ueharas lovely song, i sing it completely in japanese. the first time for me, but i think i did pretty well, according to the audience's reaction hahaha....
PASSION - my "japan hit", here in a special "Bar Music" (name of the venue) version, including Fujii Toshimitsu on percussion.
WAITING IN VAIN - bob marley's song, that i never liked until i heard Taisuke's piano version that he has also recorded on the album "Long Conte" (it makes me angry that many japanese albums are never available for digital sales in the west!!!!). here i sing and Taisuke plays the piano part, and Fujii plays "congas" on a wooden chair =) - taisuke's piano part is very beautiful.
and until next time i will have time to learn the lyrics hahaha
=)
Ithink Greet Tea Farm is fit with your voice
and I could hear your Japanese naturally.
So, I'll see you in Japanese TV programme soon. ;)
thank you! yeah, i really hope so!
i made some pronounciation mistakes, but i'll ganbaru for next time....
