Now the main stage, "Shunkin". It was just fantastic. Probably I can say one of the best stages I've ever seen. The story is based on a novel called "Shunkin sho", written by Junichiro Tanizaki. It's a story of a blind shamisen player "Shunkin" and a man who takes care of her, "Sakuke". On this […]

Okay, the first writing after the re-launch is about the stage "Shun kin" which was performed at Barbican. And this entry is about its pre-show concert by Hidetaro Honjo. I'm afraid I didn't know his name...but seems he is such a famous Shamisen player. He started it by learning "Nagauta" and "Minyo". This time, he […]

I went to see onedotzero as usual...however, I missed "J-star" I used to watch every year! No....but here is a quick report anyway. The first one was "Sprites". It was for kids, and the most of the audience was moms and kids! The works were more "cute" type of stuff. The other one was "Extended […]

I haven't written this blog for long time...but actually I was moving it to a new site. I used to use two different blog service for English version and Japanese version, and it was a bit tiresome to update both of them. So I installed Wordpress on my own domain, and installed a multi-language plugin. […]

Thanks to everyone who supported me, I finally got a job! It's UI design agency in London. I will be UX designer! My money in the bank was going to be zero by the end of August, I was thinking of returning to Japan if I can't get it. So this is the summary of […]

Okay, so, Alice. Finally I watched it. Although it was on a small screen and not 3D. It was rather...unique...Alice. For me, after all, the animation Alice by Disney is a masterpiece, but I wonder which is closer to the original literature. A big problem is, I'm not that into Johnny Depp... I couldn't understand […]

Although I often say I'm too busy to write blog recently, I'm gonna write this today. Japan vs Denmark. It was such a good game! I went to a pub to watch it, there were loads of Japanese people (where are they from?). I wonder how many Danish people there were... Anyway, I love watching […]

I went to see Kabuki! Ebi-sama! Actually I was in two minds of going to see it, I didn:t have much money, was too busy, didn't have any image of "Kitsune Tadanobu" by Ebizo...but I'm so happy I could see it. They performed three scenes "Fushimi-inari" (aka "Torii-mae"), "Michiyuki-Hatsune-no-Tabi" (aka "Yoshino-yama"), and "Kawatsura-Hogen-Yakata-no-Dan" (aka "Shinokiri"), […]

The second week of the internship. It's still part-time so just 3days a week. In this week, I attended a meeting for brainstorming, did some research for a pitch, and worked on wireframing. Everything goes so quickly. Meetings look so quick, everything is decided so quickly and everything is documented so quickly. Although sometimes I […]

I update my blog less often since I started Twitter...Well it's also because I'm too busy to do longer writing... Anyway, I also tweeted about this while ago but I finally got a chance to do intern. It's at SyZyGy. (By the way, this name "SyZyGy" is really difficult for Japanese to pronounce...It's typical three […]
