SINGAPOREまえのり到着

So we arrived in Singapore.
シンガポール到着。先ずはお約束？「シンガポールスリング」で乾杯
For starters, we went to the hotel bar, and of course, drank Singapore Slings!

We then had dinner at a local friend’s charming restaurant which was in a residential section of the city.

昨年11月にやっちゃった指骨折部分が固まって動きにくくて、
今朝知りあいづてで良いお医者さま紹介してもらったんだけど、
諸事情で行けず、、、、不安は残るなー、明日からシンガポールなので
帰国後必ず行かなきゃ。ずっとギター弾けないのもね。。。
The finger joint that I fractured last November has stiffened, becoming hard to move.
So this morning I had a friend introduce me to a good doctor, but I couldn’t go because of various things. It’s making me a bit uneasy because I am heading to Singapore from tomorrow.…
I haven’t even been able play the guitar for a while…I have to go to the doctor after I come back.

昨夜スタジオ終わりで自宅近くのもつ鍋屋に行ったんだけど、そこで発見
歌手の瀬川瑛子氏の予定表。顧客でよく来るので貼ってあると考えるのが○
で、それは全然いいんだけど、写真よーく見てみて。コンサートやテレビ、
ラジオの収録予定などは勿論、和太鼓、ダンスのレッスンやボイトレの日程まで書いてる！
これって、ご本人とマネージャーのフツーにスケジュール表じゃん！もつ鍋屋に貼るとは！
この方も経てるね〜(￣ー￣
Yesterday, I went to a motsu nabe shop (miso stew with offal and vegetables) close to my place, after finishing up at the studio. I found an itinerary there for the singer Eiko Segawa. I think it was posted there because she often comes as a customer. And that is totally fine, but look hard at the picture. Of course there are concerts and TV appearances, recording schedules also. But it even has Japanese drums, dance lessons and vocal training written! This is her and her managers general schedule! Posting this at a nabe shop?
WOW!
She is definitely going to get them before they get her! 〜(￣ー￣

GIG ASIA

今週末はシンガポールとクアラルンポールでギグ。
両方ともZOUK CLUBでアジアの中でも最もイケてるクラブ。
実は韓国や香港以外はあまりアジアは行ってないのでたのしみ。

This weekend I will be doing a gig in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
Both will be at Zouk Clubs, the hottest clubs in Asia!
Actually, aside from Korea and Hong Kong,
I haven't been to Asia much so I am really looking forward to it.

SHOPPING ONLINE

これほぼ毎日履いてるuseless denim
I've been wearing these about everyday!

昨夜はひきこもってほぼずっと家でオンラインショッピング。

買ったのは去年からずっと買い続けてるBOAT SHOES/DECK SHOESの類い。

LANVINのレザーのを入荷待ちだけど、待ちきれずこのVANSのZAPATO DEL BARCO

のレザーコンビ（どこかの別注かな？）黒と赤をクリック。

因みにこのZAPATO DEL BARCO去年の夏ハワイで見つけて買って、帰国後ヴァリエーション

探したんだけど、国内ではほぼ何もなく、入手困難。

去年の春くらいからこのBOAT SHOES/DECK SHOESタイプは大人気アイテムになってるのに、

なんでセレクトショップとか輸入しないんだろ？？？めっちゃ不思議。

僕がデッキシューズ好きな理由はいくつかあるけど、この間思った、、、

空港のセキュリティーチェック時に靴が脱ぎやすい、、、

Last night, I stayed in almost all night shopping online.
I bought the same kind of deck shoes that I have been buying since last year.
I had been waiting on a pair of leather Lanvin's in stock, but couldn't wait and got these combination leather, Van's Zapato Del Barco (I wonder if these were some other order)

Incidentally, I found and bought a pair of Zapato Del Barcos last year in Hawaii, but after returning to Japan, had tons of difficulty finding variations.
Deck shoes have been really popular since last spring, so why aren't the select shops importing any??? It's really strange!
There are a couple of reasons I like deck shoes, and just the other day it came to me but, because they are really easy to remove, they're great when it's time for airport security checks...

THINGS KEEP CHANGIN'

先週土曜、新幹線車中でDEXに遭遇
We randomly bumped into The Dex Pistols last Saturday on the Bullet Train.

京都に行く時のこの人テンション3割増
This guy was in EXTRA high spirits on the way to Kyoto!

火を消す人と叫ぶ人
Here's one guy blowing out candles... and another one screaming!

そこに聳え建つひと
（実は昨日も京都行ってて、今日もどり、そのときにパシャ）
There it stands, towering above the surroundings...
(Actually I also went to Kyoto yesterday and snapped this then!)

MINMIちゃん

去年やったリミックスの中でもお気に入りなのがMINMIちゃんの
The Perfect Vision
彼女の代表曲で、昨年リリースされたベストアルバムに収録
そのリミックスを本人がえらく気に入ってくれて今年一曲プロデュやることに。
で、打ち合わせにご主人（若旦那）と来られて、これまた何か全員でハモッってしまい、
あれよという間に若旦那の曲のミックスエンジニアやることに。
で、続きで、MINMIちゃんの別曲のリズムアレンジも。
どんなのが出来るか不明だけど、今後が楽しみなプロジェクト。
画像全くないので、「音」をば。
前出のリミックスなので、是非ベスト盤買ってフルでどうぞ！

Minmi
One of the favorite out of all of the remixes I did last year was MINMIちゃんの’s “The Perfect Vision”.
It’s one of her masterpieces, and is on her “Best of” album, which was released last year.
She really liked the remix, so this year I will be doing a full production for her.
At our vibe session, she came with her husband (Wakadanna), and we all harmonized in no time. This then led to me being the mix engineer for one of the Wakananna's songs, which then led to me doing the rhythm section of another one of Minmi’s songs.
I’m really hyped about the upcoming project, even though I don’t know how it will turn out!
I don’t have any visuals, but here’s the sound.
The aforementioned mix is also on it, so definitely pick up the full “Best of” album!
