Weekly revue: 2012 week #36 (September 1 to 7)

Food: - Had a great and cheap lunch at Brasserie Gus in Kagurazaka (actually closer to Ushigome-Kagurazaka). Their ¥1050 lunch includes an entrée and main dish. I had terrine and duck confit.
- Bought some great French cheese at Alpage, Kagurazaka.

Music events: - On September 2, I went to Billboard Live for the first time to see hitomitoi! I have been so much into her latest album "City Dive" that I wanted to see this show very badly. It was awesome of course! See my full report.

- The next day, Monday September 3, I went to see a free show by J.A.M at Aoyama Spiral. J.A.M is a piano/bass/drums jazz unit formed of members of Soil & "Pimp" Sessions. They played songs from their upcoming album "Jazz Acoustic Machine" (out Sept. 19). All three of them were great, but I was especially impressed by drummer Midorin.

New music: - Since its release I've been listening only to frenesi's new album "gendai"! It's absolutely up to my expectations, and contains a lot of great songs! Currently my favorites are "Pure Shampoo" (video below), "jōbutsu sasete yo", "Die-in", "Bob Imagination",... and the cover of Inn Japan's "onigashima" which sounds very different from the original (YouTube). Well all the tracks are great! I really can't wait for her release party next Saturday!
