Yosui Inoue-san's Tour @ Kanazawa







Kanazawa Station was imposing in its blend of Japanese and Western styles.

I was spellbound by the tone colors, like a long-awaited soft futon quilt, of Yosui-san's band!

Because today was Mayumix's day off from work, it was the first time we combined the two of us and Ghana chocolate.

After the live, I was super happy to get to have Mr. Blackthroat Sea Perch [nodoguro] after so long!




Nowww, Sunday this weekend will be a live show as Rie fu, after so long, at Daikanyama Loop.

Delo Final Tour Stop



Nagoya was the final stop of our 4-part tour!


The final stop, yeah!
I forgot to take a picture of it!
You could say that's fitting for Delofamilia, huh.

A sense of a naturally carefree atmosphere... is what each of the shining band members with their crazy tastes were feigning. I think happily of being able to sing in the midst of such an ambiance.

Someday I'd like to do this again as this band.

Thanks so much to those of you who came to see us!





Tomorrow is the long-awaited Yosui-san's live show in Kanazawa.


By the way, the picture is of the pamphlets from the Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts' Gauguin & Noritake exhibitions that I went to by myself before the live show. Both were great.

Delo[familia] Tokyo & Osaka

With performances in Tokyo & Osaka, each time the number of Delo live shows adds up we've gotten steadily better.
Before you know it tomorrow will be the final tour stop @ Nagoya ell.fits.all.
If you're in the area, please come see us!



After the Daikanyama Unit live show~



After the Osaka Umeda Shangri-la live show~



Today was the Kyoto/Shiga Rie fu marketing campaign. In Kyoto for lunch I had wheat starch cuisine at a place decorated like some rich granny's house. Wheat starch, like springy strong-flavored tofu. Plus there were lots of deep-fried things covered in miso... it was elegantly delicious.

I've come home to Tokyo



Tokyo, it's been a while...
It's a cleaning & laundry Sunday.

I like cleaning so much you could call it my hobby.
On top of really getting out dirt, since this cleaning cream also does a fluorine treatment, it's really useful in the bathroom and stuff. I found it at [Tokyu] Hands. The handmade-looking packaging is great, huh?
