At today's lesson my voice trainer said "Hey, the Tower of Power?? Woo, that was good, wasn't it? When I was 15 or 16 years old I listened to them for the first time, and that dropped a bomb to me...Awesome! So cool!! Didn't you feel so, ah? But how did you know their playing? Have you heard them?"
I told him what happened yesterday,and asked some questions: their stage costumes and vocalist disposition, and...that I thought it was unnatural that Japanese didn't start dancing. But he said, the Tower of Power is famous for the episode of not-allow-to-dance band (too hot playing to dance) though they were disco band. The audience couldn't dance just because they preferred to listen to the music.
After that, I walked to Inogashira park for air with my camera.
4 boys were playing strings/ clarinet in a large audience. Their each playing was individually not so good, but good as a orchestra. their name is "Everly" and will have a concert next weekend.

Then i went round the park taking a lot of photo (actually, a total of more than 100 takes were in my camera when I came home to check.), some should be good.
Japanese memo hereinafter
衣装のことは、先生は基本普段着で、やっぱり見た目で勝負してないってどこかにあるんだろうね、俺はいつも白だから、って言ってて。じゃあほかのメンバーは暗黙の了解で白は着ないようにしたかもしれませんね。あとボーカルがリーダーシップ取れるタイプだったらそのバンドは長続きする、と言っていた。ドラムはぼけーっとしていて、ベースはベースらしく支えるタイプで、ギターはわがままで一匹狼、キーボードは知的で変なやつって言ってた。
今日もいっぱいCDを買ってしまった。でもTower of PowerはHMVに一枚しか置いてなかったのでとりあえず買うのをやめた。Yusaの新アルバムが出ていた。Yusa、日本でしか売れていないんじゃないかと少し心配・・・媚びなくていいんだよ。
