Weekly revue: 2013 week #6 (February 2 to 8)
Food: - Sasebo Burger, ça c'est beau... et bon!
- Had a great crab meal at Kani Dōraku with nice workmates :)
Stuff: I received a nice little package from Moo.com! I love Moo!
Music event: - Gangpol & Mit are in Japan for a tour, and on February 2 was a welcome party for Gangpol aka Sylvain who got here a bit earlier. Held at a small club in an office building in Ryōgoku (not far from Tokyo Sky Tree), the Taiwan-themed DJ event featured Kishino You-ichi, BUBBLE-B, Sakata Ritsuko, Yachi Hideki, and Sylvain. I think all music played was from Taiwan! That was great!
Afterwards we ended up at a nearby karaoke until 5am! :)
Gangpol & Mit will play a show at Shibuya WWW, my favorite venue, on Wednesday February 13!
New music: - I got Nakatsuka Takeshi's new album "Lyrics" and have been listening to it a lot! This album is not as dance-oriented as some of his previous ones, it's more piano-led pop-jazz, still mostly upbeat and club-ready. All vocals are by himself, and songs were recorded in studio with a full band. I'm looking forward to hear more of these live! There will be a free in-store event at Tower Records Shibuya on March 7 (3rd floor, starts at 20:30, info here).
- Also I got a free track from (M)otocompo available here! (Entering your email in the linked form sends you a link to the MP3, and also signs you up to the band's newsletter.)
Playlist: FPM, The Aprils, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Old Monk, Merpeoples, "The Beat Goes On ~Salsoul Classics Mixed by Towa Tei~", Sunahara Yoshinori
Music release news: FPM, Towa Tei (Book)
Tech: - I got my Eye-Fi card to sync with my iPhone! Now I can take photos with my Lumix GF-1 and upload them on the go! The setup is not quite straightforward, with some traps to get in your way, and this article at Wired helped me a lot.
