I had supper at Little Bamboo this evening and Kotake-san was asking me why I hadn’t been blogging lately. What to say? I have been slacking off. And I have a huge back-log of stuff to write up and post up on Deep Kyoto too. Not to worry, I’m more or less free till Tuesday (Monday being a national holiday) so hopefully I can catch up.
Last night I went to NEGA・POSI to see my friend Okuda Satoko performing with a rather eccentric chap with a curiously shaved head named “Kasou no Takeo”. They did a mixture of comedy skits and music and it was all very entertaining (and funny!) but I think they should have weighted it a bit more towards the music. I think that way, because the music was very very good indeed. Kasou no Takeo seems to be able to play every musical instrument imaginable. And when they sang together I was well.. (ahem!)- moved. Well, I’ve put a review up on Deep Kyoto of NEGA・POSI for you. And you can see a video clip there of Satoko singing her song “Ongaku” accompanied by the aforementioned eccentric on piano - (a bit of a rarity to see her singing hands-free as she usually plays the keyboards herself). Here’s another clip to wet your appetite:
And you can also see a bit of the comedy up here - it’s in Japanese but not so difficult to follow. The theme was 数える or “counting”. Which doesn’t sound very exciting - but it all depends on what you are counting, eh?
