がりの寿司 Sushi of Gari NY

Sushi of Gari on 46th st!

happy

I am really happy that I could get back to the stage with piano even in any shape.
Again it was like a pray while I was playing.

Thank god to bring me back to be with music again.
I won't try to ignore anymore how important music is for me to live.

Snow in Shanghai

寒すぎでしょう！！！！！

Lamb is BACK!

上原ひろみ あげいん！

I'm amazed how her sound can be heard as it is played by a whole band.
She plays by herself, with one instrument, Piano.
but I can hear Base, Drum, marimba and many many many more!!!!(maybe no horn tho)
She is the orchestra.She is the band.She is expressing everything by herself.

As for classical music, yes we also have to play as it is played by orchestra too tho...

Men and Women

Ok.
Recently, I feel very very frustrated about the fact that I AM WOMAN.

I was with colleague(woman) last night walking.
One big van came close to us.
Door was opened ,I could see there were about 8 guys inside.Expats.
By their english I reckon it was american people.

"Hey, How are you?"

man asked us.

We didn't turn our face to them kept walking but said

"good thanks."

He continued.


"Hey...um....we just want to have a sex tonight."


???????



????????????????


SO F*CKIN WHAT?
HOW DARE YOU COULD SAY SUCH A MISERABLE SENTENCE??????

Did they think we would say
"Wow, that's great! We also wanted it, let's do!"????????????????????

I was SO pissed and about to say something really nasty, but 2 guys just got off the car and came to us talking, so I thought it can be risky for us to whip them up when they are 8GUYS.
So we just grabbed a cab and technically run away....



OK.


Did we seem hooker?

Well, our outfits were totally not sexy one.(I was with UGG)
bet not.

THEN.

Did we seem stupid that would follow any men as long as you are from western country?

HELL NO.

However, I imagine there are many cases that they can have some asian woman by asking like that straightly with no shame.

They try because it could be succeed.

Huge issue between western men and asian women.

Asian people still have huge "western culture complex".

"If you have blond hair and blue eyes in Asia, you will be the king."

This was the word from some book sold in US.

I can't just blame on men because We, Asian women have made them that way.

In fact that is so true.

but NOT FOR EVERY ASIAN WOMEN.

Being woman, its so powerful.I should feel lucky that I'm woman.

We are the one who can procreate.

NEVERTHELESS, I'm really frustrated and shame that I am woman lately.

Or is it just because I seem so light/stupid to men?

Is it actually MY problem?

If so, I don't know how I should be......

Charice

I CANT STOP CRYING!!!!!!!!!!!!
How strong voice she has?

Ah, I'm speechless.
She knows the way of express music in her.the best way.

My passion

I LOVE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why it drives me crazy???
how??????

上海タクシー

帰り道のタクシーで窓が空いていたので
運転手さんに

寒いから閉めて！

といったら

閉めてくれた。

そして今度は反対側の窓を開けた。



優しさ。。。。。？

Lady gaga

I always use Lady gaga when I describe commercial music slash bad music.

Well, there is no such a thing as "bad music".

And yes, I simply respect every artists who is fighting in showbiz.(I don't mean Im infatuated with that....)
Even thought music is bull shit, they do their work.and it demands so much effort.many ppl are involved for just YOU....easy to imagine how tough(and of course fun) it would be.

They have power!

as for beyonce, I always respect her!!! how I can believe she is just 1year older than me!

Jazzanova ジャザノヴァ

久しぶりに聴いたら凄いはまっています。


"Of all the things"(2008)からLittle bird feat.Jose James.


これはやばい。この出だしのピアノから終わりのチェロから
勿論独特の闇を持った空気感。歌詞。
今これが気分です。







もうひとつは同じアルバムからLie feat. Theif
曲調はるんるんしてるのに
歌詞にはまた闇が潜んでいるの。
この歌詞。凄い。











音楽とは狂気なものなのか
正気なものなのか。


Again mac has started acting strange by typing Japanese....enough...


Music was never something peaceful to me.
It was insane, and thats the way I like it to be.


For me, Playing is praying. I face to myself.
While you are IN pieces, while you are listen to YOUR sound,while you are building your music,
there is only yourself and sounds.nothing else.
so many times I even forget to breath....always feel something heavy in my stomach.
either good or not, thats why I need so much time to play as I want.
I need to try and try over and over again to build it up.


Will I be able to just enjoy music and playing?

I can say I'd be done if I could play this with orchestra!
Argerich is the god!


Chopin concerto No.2

magic garden shanghai!

We went to Magic garden's party last weekend again!

was held at Circus night club.(same building of Obama club)

It was kinda strange venue for psy party cos they had hostess club style in a way...

Music was pretty normal so I couldn't have fun as much as last one.

あ日本語うてる！

円形のDJブースが真ん中にどんとあってかなり邪魔だった！w

でもおもしろい会場でした。

実は音楽は何だか普通でつまらなかったのよ。。。。

それでもまあ楽しんだけど。

お店のスタッフw

ちなみに後ろの中国人グループは皆でテーブルでダイスゲームしてます。

サイケのパーテイーで。謎。

 DJブースの中！このブースかなりゆーーーーっくり廻りますw

この２人かわいかったな〜はいでw

私なんでこんな顔なの。

ダンサーもいた。サイケなのに。このスタイルw

 ぶらがもってった愛用カメラでの写真達！！！！だから綺麗でしょ

Jacqueline Du Pré Elgar cello concerto

Since when I was 17years old,I have kept saying " this is my music!!!!!"
I was so surprised when I listened to it first time because this piece expressed "ME" perfectly.
so I felt "omg this is me, this is my music"....(well, I'm sorry but let me say that.I'm just saying.........)
remember clearly it was the night before I went to france to take part in music seminar....

hmmm still good, i love this piece especially when its loved by Jacqueline!
She doesn't seem playing, she is making love with music.....

Ah when my mac will be repaired?good question just I've been lazy to bring it to apple, or to format........

The prayer

Universe or Cause of Universe
One who surrounds everything.
One who controls and directs
The Master of all things past, future, and present
The creator of all beings
The supporter of all things
He who exists with all the splendor
The AtmA or soul of all beings
One who nourishes all beings that He created

Ineffable Mysteries

I just love music too much ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Why I can easily lose myself and let myself go into music.
I feel like my body is just a box holding my soul(well it is actually).
And I really wanna lose my body.sounds strange but I really do.
Just want to melt into the world of music itself......

One of my favorite band "shpongle" live, how they improvise is just amazing.....
I love iiiiiit!!!!!!I wanna play:-(



This subject has been my complex since ever, Why I can't really create something from scratch?
I have confident, or I believe that I have SOMEthing(which everybody would have thought this way).
but I don't have creation......or it's blocked.

Oh my god I'm so frustrated. I really am.

What the hell have I learned from school?
For what did I go to music school from 4years old....
Why I just can't make my feeling explode?
Am I so closed?
I wanna express what I feel,what I have.......


Or Jusy I'm lazy? or maybe I don't have anything.
Who decide who has what?
ah bull shit on the end.
My period has passed already tho.

万博 エキスポ EXPO

本当に本当にようやく。。。。。

万博へ行ってきました〜〜。。。

ずーっとチケットも持っていたのだけど、

混んでるし暑いしどうしても行く気がしなくて。。。。

でも今月いっぱいで終わってしまうので行ってきました！

まだんるー(Madang Road)から万博の特別ラインが出ていて（１３号線）

直接行けると思ったのだけど

朝９時の時点で１３号線に乗るのにもすっっっっっっっっっごい行列で

くじけてそこからタクシーで会場までいきました。

エントランスも凄い人で。。。

このゲートがあと２０個はあると思って。。。

しかも皆とにかく走る！押す！足を踏む！
何度も日本語で
”おさないでえええええ”って叫びました。。。。。


今回はCゾーンへ。
ヨーロッパやアメリカのパビリオン等主要なものは全部ここに。


１時間くらい並んで中に入って


イギリス館！
もっと近くにいってどうなってるのか見ればよかった〜

そして靴がいっぱいあるときき
イタリア館へ。

ここも１時間以上並んだのかな。。。。
並んでるときに皆りんご食べたり
ウインナー食べたり
魚食べたり
グレープフルーツ食べたり
肉まんたべたり
なんとビニール袋に入ってるチャーハン食べたり！！！！

人ごみとその食べ物の匂いが入り交じった感じが
相当気持ち悪くさせた。。。

入る頃にはぐっっっっっっっったり。。。。


それでも中に入ったら興奮したけどね〜

Zegnaのブースみたいのがあったんだけど
なぜか男の人が中に。。。。
イタリア人なのかなきっと。。。
かわいそう。。。。１日ここ？？？？
しかも本当に立ってるだけなの。
イタリアの男を象徴してるのかしら。。。。。。。。

そっふぁー

そして私の一番のお気に入り！！！！！

壁にオーケストラが！！！！！！

どうなってるかわかるかな？？？

これは凄いおばさまが通ったから爆笑している私w

スコアも本物みたいだったよ！
楽器はさすがに違うよねえ。。。。

次のお部屋にはお花畑と木が！

こういうの大好き〜

そしてパスタの展示

私の１番好きなフェットチーネ！

マカロニ〜〜〜

こういう部屋家にほしい！

ワインもね。

ドレスの展示も。

ドルチェ＆ガッバーナ

ワークアウトのだよね。。。

謎。。。。。
イタリア人の幸せな家庭？w

ぐっっっっっっっっったり。
あんまり寝ずにいったのでさらに。

新天地にランチしに去りました。。。。

デザートはオーストリアンカフェで。
ザッハ頼んだけど全然食べれなかった。。。。。
