A Happy New Year 2011!

warship island - 軍艦島

This abandoned island was opened for pubic on 2009. It looked like Japanese warship Tosa. therefore its called Gunkanjima. So many people came here for mining and their life was much better than main island of Japan at the time. But buildings are fading day and day. It will have looked differently in a few years.

Best Live 2010

I went to some concerts this year as well. started with MUSE. They were totally rad! but more than that, I went to summer sonic 2010 cos Richard Ashcroft came. He is a music God! I have been loving him since he was in The Verve. He is Legend! I kept first low to see him closely under the devil sun with demon heat. When he came out. I was like. Oh my Gosh, He is alive. He is a human! lol unfortunately, in Osaka. I guess people were more interested in other bands at other stages....However, The show was sooooooooo great and My dream came true. Heaven! I did think I was okay to die after the show. and I watched other bands before. totally forget and even now. I couldn't remember except this show. even I watched several tho.

anyhow, 2010 is a great year for me. cos I could see two people who I deadly wanted to meet. Richard Ashcroft and Iseya Yusuke. defo, Its fabulous year. lol

今年行ったベストライブ。お正月すぎて1初目はミューズ。彼らもそれはスバラシイ!好きなバンドの一つ。でも、それよりも、やっぱりサマーソニックでのリチャード・アシュクロフト!彼は神です(永ちゃんみたい)。見た瞬間は彼が本当に存在して、生きていて、目の前で歌ってるっていうのが信じられないくらい。ライブ終わった後は、もう何も見ずに帰って余韻に浸りたい気分でした。今思えば、このRPAのライブ以外、みたはずだけど覚えてません(w)

今年はずーっと会いたい(見たい)と思っていた2人に会えました。一人はリチャード。もうひとりは伊勢谷友介。まだ3週間ありますが、良い年でした。

Bishamondo ― 毘沙門堂









Im in the middle of updating my Nagasaki Trip. Ive done only first day. However, Now, Its autumn. good time to share beautiful autumn colours here!

I went to Kyoto as I do every autumn and spring. always Kyoto made me feel great. First day in the early morning, I went to Bishamondo. Its in Yamashina. well...There isn't specific route to get there on guidebook. therefore I got lost. finally I reached this temple. but it wasn't open yet. I enjoyed myself being surrouded lots of momiji. there were lots of early bird's camera mans there with holding a big lenz!

finished taking pics I went into the temple. Ive started to get Goshuin in every shrine and temple at the mo. Its kinda fun to talk with temple people who give me a goshuin while they are writing it.

They also have moving paper sliding doors (fusuma). Fusuma's paintings are actually moving. oh my gosh! This temple's sakura is used for Advertisement for Soda! Kyoto e Iko! so I wanna visit here again in Spring.
