Weekly revue: 2014 week #37 (September 6 to 12)

Food: - Butcher's plate, sausage, tuna salad and bread at Machi no Parlour, Ekoda, as seen on TV on "kodoku no Gourmet" (one of my favorite shows)!

Music event: - Towa Tei is currently holding an exhibition at (marunouchi) HOUSE, celebrating 20 years of his solo career. On September 12 was a free party also to celebrate his 50th birthday (!), feauring DJ sets by Ino Hidefumi, Osawa Shinichi and himself, and also a live set by Dorian! Towa Tei began his set with "amai seikatsu" featuring special guest Nomiya Maki! All of that I watched from the front row. :) A wonderful evening! And I got to shake hands with Towa Tei!, and also Dorian and Yasuda Toshiyuki!

There I also got to meet a Thai music fan who loves Shibuya-kei and writes about Japanese music (in Thai) at verycatsound.com!

The exhibition is on until September 26 (open everyday until 4am!). There's also a shop selling brand new 7" singles (Towa Tei c/w She Talks Silence, Dorian c/w DJ Fumiya, Towa Tei x Osawa Shinichi), various new goods (T-shirts, shirts, bags, hats, towels), and also rare vinyl and promo items. A must-go for all fans!

- Also I had a nice time with Brazilian P5MLer Thiago, spending his last hour in Shibuya looking for used CDs and then hurrying to the Narita Express platform. Until next time! :)
