明日から広島、福岡でのライブに向けて大阪を出発します。アルバム発売後国内で初めてのライブですので、自分でもかなり楽しみにしています。今自分にできる最大限のパフォーマンスを発揮できるように頑張ります、機会がありましたら是非お越し下さい。残念ながら半野さんの新しいアルバム『GRAFFITI & RUDE BOY 67'』はツアー前の発売には間に合いませんでしたが、そのアルバムの曲をベースにした最近の半野さんのライブはホントにパワフルなんです。それに今回福岡では以前このblogでご紹介したRyoichi Kurokawa君も一緒に出演します。お楽しみに！
We're leaving Osaka tomorrow for our LIVE in Hiroshima and Fukuoka. This is the first LIVE in Japan for me after releasing my new album, and I'm really looking forward to it. If you have a chance, Please come and enjoy!
Unfortunately Yoshihiro Hanno's new album"GRAFFITI & RUDE BOY 67'" was not released before this tour, but His recent performance which is based on this new album is really really powerful. And this time Ryoichi Kurokawa is also going to play in Fukuoka together.
After many months of trying and much waiting the new album finally arrived at the beginning of the week. The title had made me wonder just what to expect. How funky would "Simply Funk" be, I wondered. It certainly has the warmth that the title suggests, but it isn't easy listening. And that's fine by me. There's more than enough in the music to challenge the listener. And that's what I like about your work and Yoshihiro Hanno's work. I just hope I don't have to wait as long before I get to hear his "Graffiti & Rude Boy 67'" release.

Posted by: clive at September 21, 2004 11:43 PMHello, Clive.
It's been a long time. How are you?
Thank you very much for your comment.
I'm glad that you got my new album "simply funk". It is not distributed in oversea at the moment, but How did you get it?
Thank you so much anyway. I'm so glad that you liked it.
I'm still looking for a label to license and distribute it in Europe but it is difficult..
Of course Yoshihiro Hanno's new album is also really really great. I'm sure you like it too. It will be distributed from on French label "Logistic" soon. I'm sure you can get it in Europe soon.
and Unfortunately I'll be in Europe at the end of November and December.. I'll do some shows in Prague and Bratislava at that period.. Please enjoy your trip in Japan.

こんにちは。
今日テレビを見ていたら、NHKの『トップランナー』というトーク番組に佐藤琢磨さんが出ていました。
個人的にF1にはあんまり興味がなくて、琢磨さんの事もよく知らなかったのですが、番組を見て、彼の人間的な魅力に惹かれました。かっこいい。抱かれたい(笑)
琢磨さんも青木さんも、社会というか、F1なり、音楽なりに妥協してないって感じがして、それがすごいカッコイイなって思います。
校長さん
コメントありがとうございました。
佐藤琢磨、魅力的な人間ですよね。もちろん直接お会いした事ないですけど、いつか会って話してみたいです。
今日福岡に着きました。明日は朝から３つラジオの収録と生出演があって、その後にライブです。福岡でのライブは久しぶりなので、とても楽しみです。みなさん、おヒマがございましたら是非お越し下さい。

Hi Aoki, I will try to come in Yamagushi but the train is quite expensive from Hakata.
Thanks for the links,
I'm now studying at KSU in Fukuoka and i don't know anybody here, and kyushu institute seems to be at the opposite of the city...
cheers, Dimitri
