Weekly revue: 2016 week #17 (April 23 to 29)

It's now Golden Week! Yay!

Food: - Vegetable 65, chicken and mutton curries at Cochin Nivas, Shinjuku
- Doria, croquettes and cake at Magali @ monami, Nishi-Ogikubo. Magali will close on May 8 to open in a new location in June. Café Monami and its great cream cheese muffins and curry remain though!
- Green curry, etc. at Bamii, Kōenji
- Sri Lankan curry at Pipinella, Kōenji

Music event: I went to see Negicco's tour finale at Nakano Sunplaza! They performed from start til end with a full band, often backed with a horn section, for a total of 8 musicians! They played 21 songs, but despite that leaving out some favorites (no "Sunshine Nihonkai"...). Nevertheless that was a great show! It was also my first time at Nakano Sunplaza, a venue that I had always wanted to go to, especially because its landmark building will be torn down next year. Lots of photos are up at Natalie!
