Light and shadow

Christmas is coming soon. It is as a closing day of the year. What you have been working, What you have been taking care the most, they would become materialized on the day. Mr. Fuji from Gotenba Herbie Hancock - Watermelon Man (1962) Gold and silver Earings

Latcho Drom

'Latcho Drom' is a story about how Roma people traveled from India to Europe. There are almost no dialogues but dance and music. It begins with Rajasthan, India. This is a typical Rajasthan dancing costume In Arabic, 'Bellydance' is named 'Raks Sharki' which means 'Dance of East'.

Bon Dance Song

Gujo Hachiman is the name of city where one of the biggest Bon Dance event takes place every summer. I like this dancing because they look humble and steady. By chance, I found some arranged UK music today. *Arranged *O ri g ina l

Bar Sea Guardian

@ Yokohama I've always wanted to come here. There is a Japanese song singing of this bar. The song titled 'Love affair' and the band group name is 'Southern all stars'. I'm a big fan of them, so.

Music from Murakami World

A variety of music titles appear in Haruki Murakami books. Story keeps going as if it is a common word. A song from 'Norwegian Wood'. For Christmas I bought Naoko a Henry Mancini record with a track of her favorite, "Dear Heart". I wrapped it myself and added a bright red ribbon. -Japanese- 村上春樹の本にはたくさん曲名が出てきて、 まるで誰でも知っている日常の単語のようにさらっと流してストーリーは続いていきます。 「ノルウェイの森」より クリスマスには僕は直子の大好きな「ディア・ハート」の入った ヘンリー・マンシーニのレコードを買ってプレゼントをした。 僕が自分で包装して赤いリボンをかけた。

Why not Bon Dance?

Bon Dance is an event held during summer. It is a welcoming celebration for ancestors who come back to this world once a year. The way of dance and music are different in each region, however all dancers perform the same dance sequence in unison. I used to Bon dance when I was a kid. I haven't danced since then, however this idea suddenly came up to me and now I'm planning to make a debut in this summer. I need some practice in advance as I'm almost a beginner especially here, in Tokyo. Youtube is great. To be continued.. -Japanese- 夏の代名詞の一つ、盆踊り。お盆に帰ってくるご先祖様をお迎えするために踊ると言われています。 踊り方も音楽も地域によって様々ですが、踊り手たちはみな同じ動きをしてそれを繰り返して踊ります。 子供の頃はよく盆踊りに行っていましたが、それ以来はさっぱり。 存在すらもきれいに忘れていました。 でも今年は、急にまた参加したくなりこの夏は盆踊りデビューをしちゃおうかと企んでいます。 となればそれに向けて練習が必要で特に東京では踊ったことが無いので ほとんど初心者のようなものです。 で、 Youtube で検索すると、たくさんありました。 感動。 続く・・
