Music Weekly revue: 2012 week #29 (July 14 to 20)

Small trip: Added a day to a 3-day long weekend, and went to the countryside in Ibaraki. Had some great soba at Dabō, cakes from & Sugar, and did a quick visit of a safflower field.

Music event: - Went to the Tamaful & Mōshiwake Night all-night event at Daikanyama Unit on Friday July 20! I finally got to see "beach on the DIE!!" (ex-"beach on the SE­X!!"), a back-to-back DJ unit friend Fukuta Takeshi is part of. Their routine is very funny, playing a track and then saying "beach on the DIE!!" and "everybody DIE!!" every now and then (must be seen to enjoy it). DJ sets by Utamaru (Rhymester), Gyūzō (Tokyo Shock Boys), Se­x Yamaguchi and Cypress Ueno were also great! But the best was to see Vanilla Beans at 3:35 in the morning, which felt a bit different than usual!
Vanilla Beans set list: (Intro: Kids) / Love & Hate / Baby Portable Rock / Non-Section / Choco Mint Flavor Time / Nicola
I also saw other idol shows by LinQ and Tomato'n'Pine, which weren't quite something I'd become a fan of, but they were fun. Of these two I preferred Tomato n' Pine.

- And just before this event, there was a BGM DJ event at café Sign nearby where I went to see Yoshida Tetsuto and Hase Yasuhiro (Yume to cosme)!

New music: - I got Sally Soul Stew's "Blue Angel Deluxe" (aka "anata ni maketa no Deluxe"), the CD edition of a 7" single released 2 years ago. This includes 2 new covers (Wada Akiko's "Boy And Girl"!) and also new remixes (I like the one by Shirane Kenichi).

Tech: - Started adding Microdata (schema.org) to my sites, starting with Tokyo's Coolest Sound. It helps search engines understand and index the data in web pages.
- Remembered Microsoft (Comic) Chat (Wikipedia) and even played a bit with it. Still works even on Windows 7. :)

Other: - I made a silly group on Flickr called "Genius Face", because I felt like collecting iPod screenshots when the "Genius" icon appears right over a face in an album's artwork... :)
