  • came back to London.

    After staying in Japan for a while, I came back to London.
    It was wonderful to see lots of my friends, thank you!
    To whom I couldn't see this time despite you contacted me,
    I'm so sorry! I will definitely go to see you next time.

    During the stay, I went to see Kabuki, ate lots of
    yummy foods, went for shopping etc...
    it was such a wonderful time!
    As it was too wonderful, I felt so sad when I left Japan...
    I can't see them for a while again.
    But this is the way I decided to go,
    so have to stay positive...

    Since I went back to Japan just after the MA finished,
    I feel like it's a new start.
    To be honest I'm feeling much more anxious than one year ago
    as I don't have jobs and moneys,
    and I feel like I'm totally alone in this big city.
    It's totally a start from scratch.
    But only I can do, is just working hard, isn't it?

  • Kinshu Tokubetsu Stage "Shin"

    I went to see the Kabuki stage called
    "Shin" performed by Kantaro/Shichinosuke Nakamura!

    This time a taiko performer, Tetsuei Hayashi, and
    a shamisen performer, Chikudo Takahashi were on
    the stage as well. Hayashi is the person who
    participated to start "Kodo", which I went to see
    their performance on the other day, so their
    drumming today was also amazing and energetic.
    Takahashi was so good at playing speedy tunes.

    And of course, Nakamura brothers was fantastic!

    In their first performance, "Ninin-Wankyu",
    I was so surprised that Shichinosuke,
    who played "Matsuyama-dayu" looked so beautiful.
    "Matsuyama-dayu" is a phantom in the story,
    but Shichinosuke well expressed that dreamy mood,
    and how he moves lookes so feminine, and
    his proportion is so thin...
    I remember when I saw his performance last time,
    he was not that good at all! It was the first time
    I kept looking at Shichinosuke while Kantaro was
    on stage too.

    The last performance was "collaboration",
    and it was so cool! Energetic taiko, dynamic shamisen,
    and Nakamura brothers wearing simple hakama and dancing...
    The title "Shin" (="core") expresses how it looks
    very well. The whole impression was "modern Japanese".
    And this time, Kantaro was so good at performing
    masculine dance...he is getting really closer to
    his father recently. I love Nakamura family so much.

    Now I have favours to Shochiku!

    1. Please release a DVD of this stage! I will buy it!
    2. Please come to London!
