６月８日にポーランドのWarsawであったフェスティバルでのLIVEを終えて、その翌朝の９日にオランダのRotterdamに行ってCAMERA JAPANっていうイベントに参加させてもらう。ポーランドは軽く修行っぽいイベントで、RotterdamでもLIVE直前までチケット買ってくれた人の数が１４人って言われて、、ああー、ごめんなさい、、って思ったんですけど、最終的には１００人ぐらいのお客さんが僕のLIVEで踊ってくれたみたいで、安心しました。。もっと普通に人が呼べるように頑張ろうって、改めて痛感。。RotterdamでのLIVE自体はサウンドシステム(d&b audio僕のお気に入り、YCAMもこれ)も会場のアンビエンスもエンジニアさんも最高で、自分でも過去最高のLIVEができたんじゃないかと思ってます。この場をお借りして、LIVEに来てくれた皆さん、Moving Closer FestivalのオーガナイザのDariuszと、CAMERA JAPANのオーガナイザの方々と、それに友人たちに感謝します。ありがとうございます。
I went to Warsaw in Poland on 8th of June, and the next day on 9th, after the show, i went to Rotterdam to play at the event called CAMERA JAPAN. They had really good sound system called d&b audio(this is my favorite!) and also really great sound engineer Frank, and it was really well organized event. I really enjoyed the show there. I think i've done one of my best shows this time in Rotterdam. I'd like to say thank you to all the people who came to see my show in Warsaw and Rotterdam, and thank you to Dariusz who organizes "Moving Closer Festival" In Warsaw, and also thank you for all the people who works for "CAMERA JAPAN", and all my friends there.
オランダって道ばたに雑草が凄く多くて、みんなどれも自然な感じで生えてて凄く良い。湿度が高いからかな。やっぱり自然はあまり人間の手を加えずに、あるがままに放っておくのが良いような気がする。その方が見た目も良い。
I love those unknown plants by the streets. I see many places like this everywhere in Netherland. They all look living in natural situation, and I think all plants should be like this. It looks much better than European axisymmetric arrangement parks.
オランダに友人が住んでて、彼のお勧めの場所に連れて行ってくれるというので皆でDen Haagっていう海沿いの街に行ってきました。久しぶりに海を目の前で見たらちょっと感動。海デカ過ぎ。裸足でビーチを歩いたり深呼吸したりして海のエネルギーを少しいただく。
One of my friends is living in Netherland, and he took us to his favorite place. we all went to Den Haag to see ocean. It's been a while to see ocean in front of me so I felt something really strong from it. It is really huge.. I walked the beach without my shoes and took some deep breath to get a lot of energy from there.
この前日本で撮った写真を現像したので、ここからはその時のお気に入りの写真をいくつか。やっぱりフィルム良いなー、、最近フィルムで写真撮り始めて、写真ってそう言えばこんなに感動できるものやったって事を思い出しました。
I developed some films from which i took in Japan recently, so I upload some of my favorites below. Now I love film cameras again... Now I remember what real photo was.
やっぱり日本の朝ご飯が最高。日本人で良かった、、ってホンキで思います。やっぱり漬け物が恋しくなるなー。
I think Japanese breakfast is the best in the world in many ways ;-) Maybe that's because I'm Japanese.. but i really feel happy whenever i have Japanese Breakfast in my home town.
これは東京芸大の徳井君の授業の時に撮りました。
I took this when we had class at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts & Music with Nao and Taeji.

これはアナログの一眼で。ちょっとシャッター開け過ぎたかな、、。月明かりで照らされた鴨川がきれいでした。もっと写真勉強せなあかんね。
This was taken by analogue SLR in Kyoto. I think i opend too much.. Kamo river with Moon light looked really amazing.
ツジコノリコ。これは昨日デジタルで。暗い場所ではデジタルが便利ですね。今回はこの写真以外は全部フィルムです。
Tujiko Noriko. I took this yesterday with degital camera. Degital camera works well in dark place doesn't it?
hi AOKI,
hope you're fine.
I agree japanese breakfast looks really great! but I hardly eat salty fish in the morning though!
Question: what the big box in front of the laptop on the right?
You're going to analogic these days, are you going to stop making music with computers soon ;-)

I hardly eat sweets in the morning ;-)
It's interesting cultural difference.
>Question: what the big box in front of the laptop on the right?
Answer : secret ;-) It's just an effect box.

I use both. Both analogue and digital have good point each other.
I don't think i stop using computer to make music but,
I've been looking for some analogue equipments recently.
