is in Yoyogi Naru. I played a lot in Naru this year. The photo is Ms.Eriko Shimizu on piano Mr. Hiroshi Kagawa on bass Today's menbers and Mr.Yukio Rokkaku on vocal and Mr.Tadashi Sase who came to sit in. It was so fun today. Mr.Kagawa's bass solo on I love you was amazing!
Thank you so much for giving me support for this year. I am going to challenge for many new things so I hope I will see you next year too!
This is in Kannai Barbarbar. With great menbers it was so fun!Mr.Hori's originals are so cool,Mr.Conno's drum is like he is singing and Mr.Mizutani's bass is so wonderful I can hardly explain. I am so pleased to be able to play with these menbers. I have a runny nose today so it felt strange to play the flute. Also the last train stopped by accident so I had trouble getting back but I met many musitians so it was fun!
Today I played at laqua special christmas live.It was outside so it was so cold. Anyway I realized that in this kind of desparete situations really interesting phrases come out.This is why jazz is so interesting. I really would like to thank everyone who listened in the coldness today. My next leader live is on the 28th at kannai barbarbar.The members are great so I hope to see you there.
This is the Suntaro family in front of la marre cyaya. The sea is right in frontand with a very romantic atmospheir tonight's gig was great with hot audience.Cyaya has a very good sound so I like it alot. By chance there were two groups from England. It was nice to hear british english. Today I forgot my mobile in a taxi but thanks to the very kind driver I managed to get it back. It made me feel warm and nice for christmas eve. I wish you a merry christmas.
Mr.Ikegami the master of Tapiola. Tapiola is normally a coffee shop and I recomend that it is delicious. It is so cold today.please take care not to catch a cold.I hope it will be warm tomorrow.
Today I played at Tapiola in Asagaya.It is a small place full with 25 people so we played very close to the audience and it became a nice concert like a home party. I played without a mike but this is very challenging because it shows all what I have got.I wish I could play in other places like this. Anyway Nao on guitar sounded great.When I was in university Nao was 3years above me but he was so good I never thought we could play tougher so now I feel very pleased. His talk is great too.I love to play duo.
今日はとってもエネルギッシュなメンバーで、私も文字通りたくさん吹きました！向井さんはチェロも演奏されたのですが、これがなかなかすごいのです！ Today the menbers were really energetic and I surely played a lot. Mr.Mukai played the cello and he sounded great. Maybe he will become a cellist.
This is leader Syuntaro and Bassist Sohei. It is such a great band. I was walking around in the break time but gakugeidai seems to be a really interesting town. There was many good looking restrants. The next time I go to Gakugeidai I musi go to bigaku and drink coffee.
It was my first time to play in coffee bigaku. It was really a nice place coffee bigaku. It was really a nice place with a fullhouse it became a really nice concert. This is Mr.Abiru on piano and Masa on Trombone.
This is at Ginza Swing. I have laught too much my mouth hearts. It was so fun. We not only played but we sang songs and even acted a play. Jazz is not only played by knitted browes. Anyway recently female jazz players have increased but still when we go to work it is quite often that we are the only female in the group. I am not a feminist and definitely men have their good part but L think woman is so good. The way they care about other people is the difference. there is many to learn from today's menbers. There are 5 paterns of todays photo's and the other ones are on the menbers HP s please have a look. The link is on my page.
This is leader Orie doing a human planetarium. She is so amazing I thing it is really hard to go to that stage. Today I was a sub for the 1st violin. I think some part must be by the help of maiko and Orie but the conbination of flute and string instruments are great! With great members it became a very good live. Orie 's talk was really interesting but the music is so too. Evertime I meet Orie she is developing so it is a very good aim for me. I am with Orie and Maiko again tomorrow.I am sure it will be great fun.
We played in GH9 in Ueno with the regular menbers Mr,Michishita amd Mr. Ogawa and Mr.Matsuyama on drums as a guest. I used to be in Mr. Matsuyama's fan club when I was a student so it was a special day. The music was great. I have been thinking why it is so fun playing with Rena the dancer and I think I have got one answer. I think she has a story when she is dancing. I think telling a story is the most important thing when playing music but I forgot about it from playing with somebody different every day. I guess that is why it was so fresh to see Rena's dance. In the case of jazz we also need fleibility to adopt to what is happening so I have so much to do!
この写真をみると楽しさを思い出すなぁ。ダンサーの麗奈さんはめちゃくちゃかっこいいね。チェロの織絵さんもバイオリン伊勢さんも大好き。なかなかこんなに素晴らしく、おもしろい方々には出会えないのです。When I see this photo it reminds me how fun the concert was. Rena the dancer is so cool and I love Orie(cello)and Mikiko(vln).They are so interesting and charming.
I am sure any woman would be excited to have their hair and make up done. Today is the concert of Pianin Plan for the last time this year. It is really special to be able to play in a concert hall but the sound sounded so good!! I think the concert was really produced well but just to hear our leader Yukari's pure sound makes me cry because it is so beautiful.We took many photos but they aren't ready yet but I will show them soon. Anyway today's photo is my hair style f the night made by the great stylist Morimoccyan.
六本木のレガロにて。おいしいお料理とお酒ですっかり幸せになっている所です。でも大失敗！この写真では私は完璧に俊太郎親分にかぶってしまっているではないですか！親分ごめんなさい！でも今日の俊太郎さんすごかったな。最後のドラムソロは息が止まりそうなほど迫力がありました。それから今日はじめてご一緒したギターの原とも也さんは歌心あふれる演奏で一度聞いただけで大ファンになりました。俊太郎さんは原さんといい、マツモニカさんといい、いつも素晴らしい方を紹介してくださいます。そしてベースの斎藤さんは最近聞く度にどんどんすごくなるの。もともと大好きなプレイだけどなんだか説得力がグーンと増したなぁ。私も負けてられないぞ。 We are having a great time in Regaro in Roppongi with delicious food and drinks. but I made a big mistake. I am right in frount of our leader Syuntaro san. I am really sorry. Anyway Syuntaro san played an amazing solo at the last song again. I thought my breathing will stop. It was my first time to play with Mr.Hara on guitar but I became a great fan of him after playing tougher. He sings with is guitar so much. Syuntaro-san always introdyces me to great people. Sohei on bass gets better everytime I hear him. He was great from before but I must get better too!
Cubic note is always fun. It is jazz for the flute by the flute. I'm sure it tis essential for flute players to hear this band. When I'm not playing I just enjoy listening to the great sound of the flute. The best moment is when I can't tell which is my sound when 3 flutes are playing tougher.
I forgot to take a photo today. It was my first time to play with Mr.Ando on bass and Mr.Saito on drums.I could not talk a lot with them but I sense that they are very interesting people. l hope that we will play again tougher soon.Sinji san's sound is really warm and Mariko san's voice is full with love. l love Gate One.
I first met Matsumonica at Barbarbar when he came to sit in where I was playing in a different band. Since then I was longing to play tougher and at last it was a dream come true. His instrument is really small but what he can do with it is amazingly huge. It seems that Matsumonica knows the answer of how to play music. It reminded me of how excited I felt when I first started playing the flute. I will definitely make another opportunity to play tougher! The music I want to play is sophisticated music with delicate instruments. The members played great, Sakuranbo has a nice atmosphere and with the kind warm audience it became a very nice concert.
