Love x Friends = Rock n' roll

I've just started reading this book ROCKER by Fuminori Onodera... (the book won the poplar novel awards apparently).

The reason I mentioned this book is because She sings "stand by me" by Ben E. King in the story....

The song is amazing... I just rediscovered. The story of the film "Stand by me" was about best friends go adventure together finding a mystery dead man or something (wasn't it?) .


When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me, yeah

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Happy Rockin New Year 2009 !

This is Chibuton who helped organizing gigs in Tokyo for me also let me stay at her house. The night ended at 6 in the morning, we were getting some food from 24 hr shop.

we got back to her house at 10 in the morning, we were still awake so we watched M1, stand up comedy battle show and felt a sleep.

her room was very pretty, good vibes.this is the view from her window, we can see the top of mount Fuji in the middle left (the white pointy one)///

We got up at 2pm and hooked up with Tama who came to see the shows
we went look round Chibuton's town together - Kodaiji,
Her town is famous for Ramen(noodle soup). This is what I had for dinner.

This is Tama

Chibuton

Tesco in Chibuton's local town!
but they didn't sell any Tesco brand or even British stuff.

This Chinese restaurant is called "Taste Second Best"
I only wanna No1 taste.

-----------We got invited to come to all night event called eetee reclash by DJ wsz80 also the organiser of Dragon Club in Yokohama who invited me to play shows at his events,
so me, Tama & Chibuton went to the event at night but my camera's memory card got full, so I couldn't take much more.....

I had to leave the party at 10:30 to get to Tokyo station to get the night bus to go back to Osaka,
but I got drunk and forgot the time to leave the venue, Chibuton reminded me and then Tama & her took me to the station and said good bye and went back to the party.... I nearly missed the bus....

Osaka Naniwa

I grew up in Osaka Naniwa, downtown where loads of homeless people live on the streets. rough area... When I was little I always thought it's normal people collect empty cans and cardboard boxes in streets for money or selling fake Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton bags on the streets right next to the police office, but cops don't even bother stopping them selling. I love my local town where the place it's not ruined by modern society where I can find loads of fucked up weird stuff...

street market .... No CDs! all cassette tapes, they are all copies....
magnifying glass is for old people who can't read the artist names

International Underground Theater... The cinema only shows Porn films

it's open all night.Soup noodles, Udon/Soba for 170yen... So cheap.... I can't believe it....

Locking bike with handcuffs... I like your style.

Get well soon...

My oldest uncle, he's got pneumonia, he's very week and lives on dripping now. He doesn't say anything much anymore, but he remembered me, I asked him if I'm pretty. He then nodded.
I also asked him if he wants to eat any of his favorite food like Eel Don, Toro(Fatty Tuna Sashimi) and Sake(Japanese rice wine), he nodded. So I promised to ask a nurse for him. One thing I don't like people doing is that talking in front of him loud "he doesn't understand anything we say anymore, he doesn't remember anything..." That's not true. I know that he can hear and understand. He knows what everyone is talking about. I've been in coma & paralyzed few times in the past, I thought I was gonna die then, I couldn't move or speak, but my brain was completely fine... So just be careful saying things he doesn't want to hear.

You are very lucky if you got this Christmas card through your letter box...
