Live Painting Performance by TomoNas & Grazia & Taku Furuyama at Ume Yasu in July 27, 2015

[TomoNas] Tomoko Onodera (vocal,) Shouhei Nasu (guiter)
[Grazia] Chigako Nozaki (flute,) Chikako Komatsu (violin)
[Paint Artist] Taku Furuyama (water color paint)

That was very hot night in Miyako not only because of the summer heat, but also because of the live show at Ume Yasu, one of the popular bars in town.
In the live show "Live Painting Performance," with the music played by TomoNas and Grazia, Mr Furuyama, one of the famous water color artist, painted one picture impromptu per song.
So, he had only few minutes to complete one picture.
After each song,, he showed the audience what he drew, and explained what he saw in the music.
It was very interesting concept.

Also, they had the auction for the paintings after the live show.
I really liked one of his paintings whose name was "Aqua," but I did not have any money to bit, so that was too bad. Well, maybe the next time. Just as I thought, the painting "Aqua" was one of the highest price in the auction.

Yes, of course their music was awesome.
I had to close my eyes because I really wanted to feel their music.
I could see the music just like the water color painter.

But what interesting was what he pictured and what I saw in the music were different.
People sure get different impression from the same thing.

By closing my eyes in the beautiful live music, I felt like I detached myself from the world, and that made me felt like my wounds on the soul got recovered. Their music was that good.

I was so glad that you asked me if I wanted to come to the live, Tomoko san.
And thank you very much for the great live!! *s*

Don't Drive and INGRESS

INGRESS is an interesting smartphone game and I have been playing months now. What is INGRESS? Here's a wiki. Ingress (game) via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) Players have to move around their towns for this game, so some players walk, another players use their bikes, and others drive. But you have to be very careful when you play this game and drive your car at the same time. When you get caught by watching smartphone while your are driving, you will get 1 penalty point on your driver's license and also the ticket cost you 6,000 yen. How do I know about it?

[PolitiC@Nippon] Ryukougo Taisho 2016: Japan’s Most Vogue Words of the Year

Ryukougo Taisho is one of the unique events of Japan. In the end of the year, they choose the buzzing words that everyone is using them in common during the year from TV shows, dramas, news, so on. (Sometime, it's not really used in common, but they pick those words anyway.) Last year, they chose some words from from politic, such as Abe Seiji wo Yurasanai (or "We won't tolerate Abe's politics") SEALDs, the "youth (well, there are some young folks but mostly old folks in their 60s and 70s) group" going against to Abe's politics) and so on.

Blogs and AdSense (2)

Blogs and AdSense http://itoshunsuke.blogspot.jp/2015/07/blogs-and-adsense.html When I see my Adsense page today, I see some numbers!! *Yay* Last time I open this page after years about 10 days ago, I found that I had made only 78 yen, and other numbers on the list were zero yen. But now, I see "+224 yen!!" This is GOOD. I will donate whatever I make from my blogs to the city of Miyako. Then, hopefully the city of Miyako will let people know by saying "The blogger, Ito Shunsuke, from Miyako has donated 10,000 yen!!" on city paper. So, I will get more traffic, and it will make even more money. Then, I probably can donate 100,000 yen next year, and 1,000,000 yen for the following year, so on. When it reach to 10,000,000 yen, I will say *LOL*
