Ry Cooder - Boomer's Story

Richly textured, great songs and some incredible guitar playing. Good stuff.

February 22, 2008

Just trying to decompress from the nutiness of the past week.

大阪での仕事もだいたい一段落つきました。

Last night, I and a few otehrs went up to the Dojima Hotel to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Meets Regional.

夜、堂島ホテルへ。Meetsのイベントに。

JACK DANIEL'S presents
Meets Regional 20th Anniversary Kick off Night @ 堂島ホテル.


Junzo Ogawa really handled the evening. I realize his strength is really in being able to control the crowd. Whether he is behind the turntables, behind the mic, or behind the radio, Junzo has the situation under control.

I don't really consider myself a photographer, but shooting has always been a hobby of mine. For the past few years.

もっと高性能のカメラがほしい、、。



Ladies of the night.


After the physical and mental exhaustion from the last couple days this week, I was ready to get out this weekend. As luck would have it, I was invited by my friends to come and watch a concert featuring the incomparable Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.

Business was taken care of of course...

9:00pm;

...the Main Event...東京スカパラダイスオーケストラ!!


Truely a PERFECT experience!

音についてあまり知らなかったけど、こんなおもしろいバンドだとは。

かなり良かったです。


It was so easy livin'...day by day...



...Sing us a song...


会場はすごい熱気で盛り上がっていました。


Every Bands today should watch their rock a concert because they could learn a thing or two. Or three.


More Power to you Mr. Yanaka.

一言で言うと、最初から最後まで全力投球。アドレナリン全開です。



They Killed it for all the fans.

単独ライヴに行きたいです。


And then you're in this Shangri-La of gourmet food, drinks, servants, fancy candy, beautiful people and Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra playing for you and about 500 other people.



Check out their show if you get a chance. Its dope. Mind Blowing...

観る価値おおありです。



DUKE SADAIE. The crowd and Duke interacted like were they old friends. Thanks Duke.

Chika is giddy. She is getting in some Dukeswalk.

うちのヘネシー生誕100周年記念 BEAUTÉ DU SIÈCLEのパーティーも来ていましたね。気さくでいい人です。ご機嫌でノリノリです。

いやぁ、若い!

Jack Daniel's provided the refreshments. Bottles everywhere! Saw couple of friends tonight...

Good lookin!

暑いし喉乾くしで、飯も食わずに”飲んだくれ” です。

MY PEOPLES:

My man, Takahiro was acting as navigator and negotiator all at the same time.

One thing about this guy...he fucking knows how to throw down.

うちのキング・オブ・クラビング。UNDER LOUNGEにもいたことがあり、この業界のことを熟知しています。顔も広いです。

ちなみに彼が持っているのは、すべてジャックダニエル ロック。あほか。まぁ、だいたいいつもこんな感じですけれど。


Tetsu

神出鬼没です。


11:30pm:

DJ Tomoyuki Tanaka (Fantastic Plastic Machine) representing.


What's A NICE SET party without the DJ?

相変わらずアホみたいに盛り上がるフロア。

Preparation people. That's the key. A lot of hard work and effort of a lot of people went into this. But if the event is a success, no one should notice all that hard work. It should feel smooth & seamless.


FPM rocked a crazy session.

フロアを完全にロックしてましたね。

This party was crazy and proof again, that I am getting too old for this shit. I met up with some heads there and it was an adventure from there on out.

自分の実年齢と自覚とのギャップをまだまだ埋められずにおります。

Grabbed a late night supper with my peoples and chilin at the after party. Dinner conversations revolved around... These are truly timeless....

結局夜ご飯を食べたのは、夜中の2時過ぎ。久しぶりの朝までコースでした。


Wow...what in incredible experience last night was.

長い長い1日でした。
