Weekly revue: 2016 week #28 (July 9 to 15)

Food: - Indian-style izakaya Yaruki, Nakano

Music event: On Thursday, I went to see Kaji Hideki's in-store event at Tower Records Shinjuku, in promotion for latest album "The Blue Boy" released in May. The album is great! The event featured Kaseki Cider, who often contributes a few lyrics to Kaji-kun's albums. He was there to talk between the songs, and he also sang in duet on "shakunetsu shōjo" (from previous album "Ice Cream Man". A one-man live will be held on August 4 at Shibuya Quattro, part of a tour celebrating the 20th anniversary since his solo debut!

Set list: Hero wa kimi to boku / Melody / 5ji no Shibuya de / shakunetsu shōjo feat. Kaseki Cider

Exhibition: I dropped by HMV & Books's small gallery on the last day of an exhibition by Yoshioka Rina. The jacket of The Scooters' latest single "Make Her Mine" is one of her works that was selected by Shindō Mitsuo. Many of her paintings are inspired from movies, though other look like food (lots of curry!) ads. They all have a Showa kind of style, often with an erotic theme. I bought a small zine titled "Eat it" of food-themed works.
