ご無沙汰してます。最近あんまり書く事ないのでちょっと滞ってる感じですけど、なんとか話題見つけてアップして行きたいと思ってます。数日前に大阪に帰ってきました。ウチの黒いやつにもまた久しぶりに会えて嬉しい。触りまくってやりました。
It's been a while. I don't have any special news recently, so I'm kind of slow to update now.
I'm back in Osaka again a few days ago. I'm glad that i see my dog again.
いつも帰って来た時に思うんですけど、日本の街の変化って物凄く速いですね。ウチは比較的繁華街から近いのでさらにその傾向が強いのかもしれないけど、散歩してて周りの景色を観てても一瞬自分がどこにいるのか分からなくなるぐらい景色が変わってる場所もあります。街を歩いてる若い人たちの服装まで半年前とはガラっと変わってる。なんか面白いっちゃー面白いけど、その消費量を国全体で考えたら物凄い量やなーって思ったりなんかして。携帯電話のサービスも物凄いですね。ホンキでびっくり。携帯でメイルすらしない僕なんて明らかに時代遅れ。今って携帯でテレビまで観れるんでしょ？ 僕は外にいる時ぐらいはテレビなんて観たくないけど(あ、、でもやっぱりF1だけは観たいかも）、いずれにしてもスゲー。。未来にいるみたい。もう電話じゃないですね。まさに『ケイタイ』っていう新しいマシンみたい。でも機能が増えるのは良いけど、説明書までどんどん分厚くなって、それって退化？それとも進化？って思ったりなんかして。。はー、昨日まで寒かったけど、今日から大阪は暖かくて気持ちいい。散歩しよー。
僕が信頼する友人でありDJのテラゾノ・コウヘイ君が教えてくれた保坂和志さんのウェブがいい感じ。
Whenever I come back in Japan, i always feel like I'm an outsider because so many things in the city are changing really fast. Maybe that's because I live in the middle of the city but sometimes I don't know where i am when I'm walking in my home town. Even the way people look (I mean their clothes, fashionable attire) are different from 6 months ago. it changes really fast too. It's kind of interesting, but.. I don't know, I often have mixed feelings about this kind of things. And now mobile phones are also changing fast. I don't even use e-mail with it ;-) but Now we can watch TV on the phone. and you can do so many other things with it. Is it phone? or something else? In Japan we call mobile phone "KEITAI" , and now "KEITAI" is no longer a phone, I think it's a new machine called "KEITAI".
hello Aoki,
i hope everything is well with you lately :-)
i was just wondering if your new album will still be out before the summer or not?
and will there be a 12" soon?
thanks.
best,
Murray.

No it doesn't mean like that.
I'm still working on it.. I have a lot of things to do now
and i can't really spend time on finishing it.
thanks
Posted by: AOKI at April 20, 2006 8:59 AMhey aoki, sorry to comment on such an old post, maybe you won't notice!
you're talking about how you feel like an outsider when you are back in japan. so how do you feel in paris? do you feel you fit in more there? hmm, maybe you feel like an outside everywhere now...
i know this feeling... i mentioned to you i lived in tokyo for 3 years, and hong kong for 1 year... of course i was an outsider in asia, but when i'm back in america i feel so strange too... everyone talks about movies and tv and things like that which i don't follow... there's new slang i don't know.
it's strange, but at the same time, outsider feeling is good. sometimes i want to know more people who are similar, but i also don't want to fit in like a normal person.

thanks for your comment.
>so how do you feel in paris?
I feel the same as when i'm in Osaka, exactly the same feeling as what you wrote.
i also travel a lot like you and whenever i come back from somewhere I've never been, i always feel how ignorance I am. and at the same time i feel i want to know more.
