November

6th (Mon), I did a rehearsal with Masaki, a guitarist, and Yutaka, a bass player.


7th (Tue), I talked with Yuichi, who is a lap-top player, about a concert on the 5th of December.


8th(Wed), I did a rehearsal with Yutaka for a concert on the 13th.
In the evening, I went to a concert to listen to Yuji Takahashi play the piano.
His playing sounds soft, but goes pierced all the cells in my body.


9th( Thu), A concert at "Violon".
I feel a sence of presence from Masaki's music, and it gives something new every time
I play it.


10th(Fri), I went to a concert by "Zeigo" which Kanji organized at "Nomi-tei" in Nishi Ogikubo.
There were a lot of people in the venue, which was very small.
Their sound sank into my body.
The audience looked relaxed as if they were bathing in sunlight.


15th ( Wed), A rehearsal with "Canary", which is one of my groups.


16th( Thu), I played a new piece of music,which I finished that morning , at a rehearsal with
Yoshihiro, and he said it was beautiful.
I like this piece of music which is the latest one best.
In the evening, I went to see a movie, " Hottentot Apron Sketch", at "UDX" in
Akihabara.
The heroine didn't speak any lines, and the music expressed the snsitive delicate
nuances of her state of mind with its tone and timing,
I liked its flavor.


17th( Fri), A concert at "Violon",
I played with Yoshihiro and Zunzo, a tabla player, as a trio, and it was supreme !!
I was so excited that I couldn't sleep properly.


19th(Sun), I went to a garden belonging to the "Hitachi Institute", which is opened twice a year.
In the garden, there is still a part of the "Musashino" forest, which used to be a big
forest aroud here.
As we walked among the trees and beside a big pond, I felt as if I had fallen into a
different dimension, but when I got out of the forest and reached a field, there were
a lot of shops selling, New Year Greeting Cards, floweres, and vegitables.
I bought a jar of "Kishu -Umeboshi"( pickled Japanese Apricots), which
was 40% off.


Silk Jasmin has been losing her color and smell little by little...
I should give her something nutricious, I think.

Step by step

On the 30th of October, we held the first concert which I organized in a series named " BomBa Crack".
The program is as follows.
1. Yasuhiro Koike (trombone solo)

2. " Yatsumatarzu"
William Tokuhisa ( Voice)
Kayo Sudo ( piano, voal)
Jyunzo tateiwa ( drs, tabla)

3. "Trio"
Mori-shige ( cello)
Yutaka Kaido ( contrabass)
Yoko Miura ( piano)

The concert was enjoyable, and full of inspiration.
I want to create a atomosphere where the sensibility of each person touches to the other people,
so they can find a new approach to their potential.


On the 4th of November, I did a collaboration with Isao, a painter, and Kanji, a trombone, clarinet, and sax player.
I'd done six collaborations with Isao in the last 2 years, and I wanted something to change which would advance our collaboration to the next step.
I talked with Isao about what to do.
I called a guest, Kanji, and we took it in turns to play and make a brush stroke like a "shishi odoshi"
It worked out, and it made things better.
