Music event: My first show of 2017 was on Monday January 7, Sally Soul Stew's new year event at Yoyogi Zher the Zoo. The super band led by bassist Sally Kubota (The Phantom Gift, Les 5-4-3-2-1) also features singers Lemon and Mashiro Megumi (Hicksville), guitarist Nakamori Yasuhiro (Hicksville), keyboardist Nakayama Tsutomu and drummer Shirane Kenichi (GREAT3). This time they were accompanied by Matsumoto Kenichi on saxophone and shakuhachi. As always the show was just great, with a lot of wonderful songs played by this great bunch! A new CD-R of 3 songs was sold there, recorded at Shirane Kenichi's home studio on 4-track tape like in the day. It sounds very nice!

Last but not least, the DJ was Comoesta Yaegashi (Tokyo Panorama Mambo Boys) who played a lot of rocking good tunes. During the show Sally recalled the first time he saw Comoesta DJ and how he was impressed.
