３日前まではかなり蒸し暑い毎日やったのに、昨日ぐらいから雨風が強くて寒いぐらい。昨日は物凄い勢いで雨が降った後に、奇麗な日没が見れました。雷も相変わらず良い音してました。今日は昼でも寒いぐらい。
CMの作業がなかなかはかどらない、、難しいです。でもツジコノリコとのアルバムはなかなか良い感じに仕上がりそう。早く沢山の人に聴いていただきたい。２２日のスイスでのライブの準備もしないと。そろそろ９月と１０月にかけて行う日本のツアーの日程も決まりそうです。近々スケジュールを更新させていただきます。

It had been hot and humid until a few days ago, but the weather chaged sice yesterday. We had quite strong rain and wind last night, and after that we saw a beautiful sunset. The thunder sounded strong as always.
Now I feel a bit difficult to make sound for TV commercial, but I have to finish it soon. On the other hand, Works with Tujiko Noriko are going smoothly. I think we can finish it as a quite good album. I'd like to listen to as many people as possible. I need to prepare for LIVE in Switzerland on 22nd too.. And my LIVE schedules in September to October in Japan are almost fixed. I'll update them soon.

昨日の夜は僕の友人の久保田敏弘君がウチに来てくれました。彼は何年か前に自分の作品を持って、いきなりあのJean Nouvelの建築事務所に殴り込み、そのまま入社を果たすというカッコイイ経歴とかなりの根性の持ち主。今はロンドンのショッピングセンターとコペンハーゲンのコンサートホールのプロジェクトを指揮してるそうです。しかも同い年。すげー、そして誇らしい。頑張れ日本人。

Last night, one of my friends Toshihiro Kubota came to my place. He's now working at Jean Nouvel's architect studio. He has a great career that some years ago, he brought his works and visited Jean Nouvel's architect studio and joined a company right after that. Now he's working on the projects of a shopping center in London and a concert hall in Copenhagen as one of the main designers. Great! and I feel honored as the same Japanese.
