London

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 […]

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 […]

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"), […]

It's been two months already since I updated my blog the last time? I don't believe this... Today this is a quick update post. I got a new visa successfully in the beginning of Feb, but am still struggling to find a job. I even can't get a chance of interviews. I thought maybe my […]

I went to see the musical "Priscilla". I didn't know anything about the story, but it was amazing! The costume was so gorgeous, all the scenes was so energetic and powerful! I wish I could understand their jokes more... but still, their dancing was wonderful and I enjoyed it so much. Actually my friend's friend […]

I went to see a performance by "Kodo" (A group of Japanese traditional drum players). To be honest, I hadn't seen any proper Japanese drum performance before, and I just went there because it was 50% off for students! But it was amazing. Just amazing. I thought it would be good when I saw the […]

Although it's been for a while since I came to London, there are still lots of places I haven't visited. They are two of them. Primark :P and St. Paul's Cathedral. My image of Primark is cheaper Uniqlo. But they have more different designs than simple Uniqlo, so it's fun to look around. But I […]

Today was a bit strange day. Unlucky, and lucky. In the morning, I woke up and opened the online course schedule... and found that introduction to the new project was moved to today's afternoon, that had been empty. Nooooo. I was going to leave at lunch time and join with my friends for Chinese lunch....unlucky […]

I went to see Chinese New Year event with my friends on Sunday. Wow...lots of people...one bad thing being in the UK is that I can't see anything once I go into a crowd...everyone is much taller than me. I couldn't see the dragons, so I bought a small dragon instead...Cute...I can be patient with […]
