I can really enjoy and relax with todays members.In Jessie we can play with out any PA which is great! I am always forgetting to take photos with this members. I must remember next time. The next time is 8/30. It is a great band and I hope to see you there.
It is the first time for my mother to appear on here. The photo is with Suzan my best friend Anjuli's mother.I have been friends with Anjuli since we were 1 years old. She also has done the pictures on this web site.
The Duo was very exciting tonight. An event like this I can have people tonight. An event like this I can have people to here me that will not often will come to jazz clubs so it means a lot to me.
It is a while since I played at Yonaru. I have played a number of times with tonight’s members so I could relax.
I happened to bump in Mr. Sutou the bassist I met the other day in Oomiya. We hadn’t met for more than one year before that so it was quite a coincidence. When you meet somebody by chance doesn’t it happen a number of times? I am feeling I might meet someone again in a few days!
I met a great musician today. His name is Yukihito Atsumi a guitar player. His approach was really interesting with loads of new ideas and a lot of inspiration. I am looking for musicians to make my own band and I think today was a very good encounter. I always must be looking for new things.
The other good thing was that I met Mr.Sutou a bassist from my university. He has a lot of energy and I respect him a lot.

It is the second time for us to play tougher. The music was really fun but the best thing was that Rena came and joined in. Her way of dancing is amazing she can dance and express so much in such little space. I have a lot to learn from her and definitely a lot from all the other types of art. They give me many fresh ideas.
I have not played in suehirotei for years but it is a very special place because it is the first time I played jazz in public. I can still remember the feeling when the guitar player Nao asked me to play at suehiro tei. He was the star player of our school so I was so pleased. 5 years have passed and I have went through a lot of things. Still I wonder how much I have changed. I wonder what will become of me in 5 years time.

今日は初出演、初共演の組み合わせでした。リーダーの山見さんはとにかく強力なお人柄で、とっても魅力的な人でした。田園調布の土地柄かお客様も地元の方が多くて、品のある雰囲気でした。なによりもうれしかったのが沖野ゆみさんとの出会い。ゆみさんは14年間イギリスにいたそうで、ジャズをやっていてイギリスつながりの出会いは初めてだったのですごくうれしかった。ブリティシュイングリッシュの歌を聞いてたら、ミョーに懐かしくなってまた行きたい病が再発しました。来年もいくぞぉー！七夕のお願い叶いますように！今日はちいさなお店ですがエレピだったので、音環境は難しかったのですが、生音で演奏しました。電気を通さない音の威力を信じて、どんな環境でも最低限生音でいけるミュージシャンを目指します。 Today was my first time to play in the place with the members also on the first encounter.The leader Ms.Yamami was such an interesting person with an amazing personality. I type of person difficult too meet.Because of being in Denencyofu it was quite a posh atmosphier and very nice audience. The best thing was that I met Ms Yumi Okino. She has stayed 14 years in England and it was my first time to meet somebody to have England in common which was really nice. Listening to her Britsh accented English really reminded me of England. I really hope I can go next year too.
Today was a small place but with an electric piano so it was a little hard to play with no PA but I believe in the acoustic sound so I will keep trying
I have recently been playing with Mamoru with a piano trio but it was really interesting to play today because his playing really changes when it becomes duo. I wish I could play that freely as him when I am on my own. Today there was only one person and I was so great full for that person. He turned out to be a sax player so we had a jam session at the end including the owners piano. It was fun. I hope tomorrow will become a good day too
