i have been very busy lately and not written so much here, sorry! here are some mobile photos which i realize are most of food and meals of different kinds... maybe that's what Tokyo is about at the moment, between the music and the meetings - gorgeous food with wonderful people.
the picture on the right was taken early in the morning, maybe during the weekend. electric cables and blue sky. humid air and sticky skin. the rainy season has begun now, but actually today the weather is fine (so far).....
i'll be in Tokyo until monday, when i take a trip to the west - Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe. maybe i can squeeze in another visit to Himeji where my friends run a cafe - Nakamura's HUMMOCK CAFE where i have performed live two times. actually i met Mr and Mrs Nakamura last week in Tokyo on a private party. i was the "surprise guest" and after the lovely dinner (cooked by Eri) i performed a couple of request songs - Passion, I'm Here and I guess it's ok. Yoshiko posted them on youtube, so please watch them when you have a moment:
PASSION
I'M HERE
I GUESS IT'S OK
after grinding the coffee beans, Mr Nakamura slowly adds the hot water. a real coffee master!
another night of delicious cooking by Eri (TOTOSK CAFE)
a special pasta and dessert collaboration by Hiro and Eri.
glico CAFE AU LAIT icecream for the dessert, presented by Mr Yoshimoto.
last week's live performance at BAR CACOI.
BAR CACOI has lovely food and drinks! 1: shrimp/tofu sallad. 2: carefully boiled organic vegetables.
3: croquet with a tasty little salad at the side.
here's a photo i took of Taisuke Tsugimatsu in may, the first time i heard him live. the picture is really expressing the cosmic touch i could feel through his music.
friday (18th) i perform live at ROMAN RECORDS CAFE. they also have delicious food, here's a tasty pizza i tried last weekend.
"everyone can do it better than me" was the cute excuse with which i received this white origami crane, quickly folded between lunch and a caffe latte. i can't even fold an aeroplane, so i was very happy for this gift!
dinner at a small cosy restaurant in Naka-Meguro. this is the kitchen wall, seen from the counter where we were sitting.
one of the shared courses, gorgeous thin slices of fish.
a modern, cosy "izakaya" with great food, drinks and jazzy music.
finally, i just have to include the STOP button which you see in all the buses.
tomarimasu!
=)
