Sex, Ramen noodles & Rock n' roll!

So much to catch up... I couldn't update my blog while I was in Japan... Surprisingly, it's so hard to find free public Wi-Fi in Japan, but also was hard to find any spare moment to write my blog at all. So much stuff I wanted to post but I just couldn't! I lost my voice and got very sick during the tour, ugh! I'm usually very tough, I get through under any circumstances. But I didn't know what to do when I lost my voice for the first time ever in my music career, half way through the tour... I still had to sing straining my voice for rest of the shows. Now my voice is still damaged, Comanechi now has UK tour coming up, we are back in the UK, we've been rehearsing lots... I'm back at work working long hours. Being busy is good, being needed is good. I can not complain, because hard work will pay off, and as much as you work hard, you will laugh, just like a swing. Meeting new people & fans... it's beautiful. Life is so precious and beautiful. 

Maybe I'm having the post tour blues. Touring in Japan with my friends band Bo Ningen was a great fun. Of course like I said, there are loads of hard work too. I didn't have any spare time, touring isn't always fun, it's a job. When bands like us are on tour, you have so much shit to organise by yourself before the tour. You organise almost everything, and before / between show time, you set up merchandise, sound check, get ready putting make-up on, dress up, then after show, you clear your gear,  go straight to sell merchandise... pack up & load out.

But when I pop into the big record shop in Tokyo and see these stuff, I want to cry with joy and tell my mum and dad with pride. LOOK!!! I'm NOT A  LOSER!!!

Back from the Japan tour, I had 7 extra days to stay spending time with my family filling the time we lost, (over 2 years I hadn't been back home)

 My brother and his 2 dauters, Ichika & Cocomi. 

girls event called 'Hina-Matsuri', you have this decoration up during the Hina-Matsuri period. Like a Christmas tree every year.

I set up Skype & webcam for my mum and dad on the last day of my stay. They were so happy.

I skyped with them twice already since I got back in London.
