Music event: I went to see Cibo Matto at Blue Note Tokyo!! Their band featured Nels Cline on guitar, Ohno Yumiko (Buffalo Daughter) on bass, and Yuval Lion on drums. They were accompanied by special guest Oyamada Keigo (Cornelius) on guitar too! And for a few songs by percussionist Cyro Baptista. Despite the show feeling a bit short, that was a wonderful evening!

Movie: Went to see the documentary movie "Coming Back For More", which in Japan has a more direct title... "Sly Stone"! The Dutch-narrated movie tells about the career, ups and downs, and the true story of legendary musician Sly Stone. While the movie was made some years ago, the edition being shown here was updated with recent footage from this year, and is said to have been delivered to the theater a day before screenings started..!
