30日の朝に大阪の伊丹空港を出発して成田空港へ、そこからNY行きの直行便に乗ってJFK空港に到着しました。上の写真は恒例のハイウェイ写真。JFKからマンハッタンに向かう途中で撮った写真です。当たり前やけど車がアメ車だらけ。どれもカッコ悪いしデカい。
I left Osaka Itami airport on 30th early in the morning and going to Tokyo Narita airport, then we got on the direct flight to NY JFK from there. I took this photo on the high way from JFK to manhattan. So many American cars, they all look bad and big..
今回一緒にNY入りしたアーティストの方々。左からSachiko Mさん、Taku Hannodaさん、Yoshimitsu Ichirakuさん、竹村延和さん。大友良英さんは夜の便でNYに来られるとの事でした。皆で散歩がてら会場の下見に向かってる途中です。
They're the artists who joined this event this time. From left to right >> Sachiko M, Taku Hannoda, Yoshimitsu Ichiraku, Nobukazu Takemura. I took this photo on the way to the venue. We decided to walk a bit to check the venue after we checked in.
今日何回言ったか分からないけど、街が映画のセットみたい。。全然現実味が無いんです。当たり前ですけど、今まで行った国の中で一番英語が分かる。皆クリアに話してくれる。
I don't know how many times i said this words today but, the whole city looks like a movie set. It doesn't look like real for me.
会場になるJapan Societyです。村上隆さんの作品が貼ってある。挑発的やなタイトルやなーw。でもアメリカ人でこのLittle Boyに関して知ってる人って少なそう。この後皆でホテルに戻って、僕は爆眠。夜10時半っていう変な時間に起きてしまったので今ホテルのロビーでblog書いてます。
明日は皆で会場入りして、セッティングチェックやサウンドチェックを行います。楽しみ。
This is the place where we're going to play, Japan Society. I saw a huge picture of Mr.Takashi Murakami's work. I like that title "Little Boy". Maybe some people know about this but, this is the name of the nuclear bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima by America in 1945. We went back to the Hotel after checking the venue, and I slept immediately until now.. It's 22:30 pm and I'm writing this blog at the Hotel Lobby.
We're planning to go to the venue again tomorrow and do sound checking and so on. I'm looking forward to it.
nyすごいですよねー
