开心到暴！

真的很爱吃零食。
最近由其沉迷上面这种软糖。咬下去，果汁喷得满口都是， 酸到眉头挤成一条连线。

我太爱吃零食了，体重一直无法好好控制，很都裤子都有点穿不下了。。。暴笑！

我要出远门了。
我要和妈妈一起去旅行了。好开心哦！
妈妈会和我一起看演唱会。好兴奋哦！
努力制造美好的回忆，真的希望能一直这样下去。

爱你哟。。。。老妈! （最近对于我爱吃零食的习惯也已经不再那么介意了，是放弃状态中呗！）


也爱大家~~~~早来的祝福 - 新年快乐！

小红莓。。。重生！

最近工作累得想死。

最近天气阴霾，虫虫到处飞。。。讨厌得半死。
喷了很多很多杀虫剂，没薰死虫虫，先把自己搞得头昏脑胀。
清理虫虫的尸体，。。。。恐怖得半死！

最近完全沉醉在小红莓世界里。
小小颗，红得漂亮，口感酸酸。。。一直停不了口。
狠下心，托人从温哥华带了5公斤包装回来，在自家房间里抱着一大袋小红莓干，不停的往嘴里塞。好像抱着一大堆属于我自己的幸福一样！

最近生活规律恶性循环当中：

1) 早上起身

2) 到公司上班

3) 下班时间搭公车

4) 到家

5）清理虫虫尸体

6) 冲凉

7) 换上特大号的睡衣

8) 开电视追看9点黄金档本土肥皂剧

9) 吃小红莓。。。。。。重生！

请回到项目1

桃园

去了台北一趟，逗留不超过48 小时。
住在离市区有一段距离的桃园。
乘搭长荣巴士到忠孝复兴也要一个多钟头。

桃园~~~
很多很便宜的道地小吃，很干净的空气，很可爱的出租车司机。
也许，在短短的2天里面，我听了我这辈子最多的台语。
很台，很芭辣，很亲切。

伯伯们看到我似懂非懂的表情，都努力用他们认为很标准的国语教我搭车。
卖姜母鸭的大婶拼命塞给我两颗看上去像苹果却实际上是李子的青色果实。

有间很奇怪的台茂商场，外形很畸形，和桃园格格不入。
原来，之前新加坡公司管理过的。是之前的事了，现在司机都爱拿这个地标开玩笑。
同样一套管理经营法则，我们引以为傲，却其实只在本土管用。
是我们太单纯了还是什么。。。。哦，不对，是我们太听话了。

桃源有很多很多时钟酒店。这回事，去到那都一样繁荣。
人啊。。。到最后都被荷尔蒙牵着鼻子走。

还有各式各样的快餐。Mos Burger，澳门猪扒包，小麦。。。。。快餐文化真是无孔不入。

真的很有味道的一个小地方。
。。。。。。
。。。。
。。
。

我想我会慢慢爱上桃园。

双子ユニットON/OFF

九州出身の双子ユニットON/OFF - 注目!!!!!

什么是幸福？就是能够看着一个艺人或团队坚持自己的理想，然后一步一步得到大家的认同。

来自九州的双生兄弟团在代々木表演街头live也有一段时间，虽然不能说大红，不过street live都会聚集一堆人数不小的扇子。最近终于受到幸运之神的眷顾，不但歌曲被选为風魔の小次郎的片尾曲，两兄弟也在剧中扮演風魔ハ忍衆的兄弟角色-项羽和小龙！现在已经签约SONY旗下。。。。当初从九州上京，果然没错。

当初在街头的小混混模样，到后来在sony旗下拍摄的PV, 俨然脱胎换骨。人开始走红，果然样子都会变得闪亮闪亮。他们的歌真的不错听哦，就连早期在代々木表演的东西也很不错滴！

秋ドラマ －お勧め！！！！！

Every season, besides the mainstream doramas from the bigger stations which boasts of a star studded cast, I also enjoy some of the quirkier selections from good ol TV Tokyo or an even wierder selection from obscure cable TV (Caution : not suitable for general viewing. Contents may contain blood, violence and some nudity.....hehe!)

My first recommendation this season goes to TV Tokyo's 死化粧師 . Based loosely on the manga by 三原ミツカズ, each episode evolves around the main character - Mamiya Shinjirou's daily encounters as an embalmer. This series does not have much of the usual ingredients of mystery solving elements by some super detective, rather it focuses on issues faced by people when their loved ones die in the most unexpected circustances. Mamiya's job as an embalmer forms the link between the dead and the living (not in the spooky sense). In one volume, a ballerina was killed in a car accident and her leg had to be amputated. Her fiance however requested for her to be dressed in a ballet costume (as he would expect her to want to since she loves dancing) for the final funeral. Shinjirou's character as an embalmer is often sandwiched between trying to help the family of the deceased and having to carry out the actual embalming of the dead. While dealing with such requests, Shinjirou grows to accept death in a different way, at the same time he also tries to bring peace and closure to the families of the late.

As embalmers are looked down upon in Japan ( or at least considered wierd) due to a common lack of understanding of the job nature, Shinjirou loafs around daily in the hospital working as a cleaner. Damn corny.

Oh...it helps that 和田正人 who plays Shinjirou really looks like the Shinjirou in the manga!

Manga is a total of 4 volumes. Recommended for those who like mangas with a strange bitter after taste. The drawings are not pretty aka no bishounens, but visually very impactful. Artist used very bold strokes and the entire 4 volumes emphasizes the gloomy and moody atmosphere very well.

Next in line is 風魔の小次郎！！！！Yes....definitely not one of 車田正美 (of saint seiya fame)best works, but still.........ninjas, ninjas and more ninjas....my favourite!

Story tells of two rival ninja academies　白鳳学院 and　夜叉一族 who cannot stop bitching each other off. Of course from the name, we all know that 夜叉一族 is the unscrupulous one and in order to counter them, 白鳳学院 enlists the assistance of 風魔一族 - a legendary clan of ninjas with super duper powers.

What l like about such series is how each ninja has their own special skills and weapons. Every character is unique. Then of course, there are underlying themes ( mainly emotional type!) as well. If you enjoyed Shinobi (which is very lame compared to the anime) or Basilik, this would be your type.

Unfortunately, this series is not shown on major channels, its broadcast mainly on cable TV and the likes. But there are always DVDs if you are really keen ( and other methods which I shall not mention!)

Opening by アンティック-珈琲店:

10月31日 ~ 天空很灰，雨从午夜就一直下个不停

惯例，10月30日晚上失眠。

惯例，10月31日心情和天空一样灰。

你今天心情如何了?

超级无敌累！

先把大概行程放上来， 周末再慢慢补功课！密切留意咯！
还有就是小佬抢滩成功，已经确定步入我的阿佬宫殿 （爆！）。

就这样啦！周末之前如果有时间的话，也会时不时上来更新一下（其实是迫不及待上来灌水啦。。。。没办法啦，很久没有小佬抢滩成功，竟然有点小兴奋的说!）

这边先来好康介绍!

我这一辈子吃过最最最最最好吃的蛋包饭 - オムライス！
而且竟然是一部移动快餐车！
本来是在早稲田专门提供学生经济午餐的小店铺，后来才开始了快餐车的生意。
听说这个快餐车已经吸引了许多媒体采访，而且所到之处必定引起长长的人龙。
我好运在原宿碰到，当然加入排队行列。

之前JPG设计师井上準操刀的新品牌，也是走歌德路线。看中了其中一款财布。两只眼睛直瞪瞪的看着我。。。。是警告我不要乱花钱啦！不过大型的包包我觉得作得没有JPG时那么出色。(后面是今季naoto的作品刊。)

801ちゃん　－　出番！！！！
这个。。。有没有人有兴趣? 如果说普通人呢…就叫普通级啦 (笑,我说什么了!)
严重一点呢,男的就叫オタク. 当然近几年也有所谓的オタク女啦,就是沉迷漫画游戏等程度不在オタク男之下的腐女.

如果还在オタク程度之上, 我们就称这个腐女为801ちゃん! 801 – 读为 yaoi ! (千万不要读错，会笑死很多人的！还有，是不大可能有男性的801ちゃん的啦，所以不要问了！)

电影版[となりノ801ちゃん]由d-boys瀬戸康史主演。
和ドラマ[恋爱诊断] 和映画[ boys love]劇場版 被腐女们封为今年夏天禁断ノ愛特集三部曲！

10/14 - PIPPIN 天王洲银河剧场

第一次看真正的音乐剧。(shock不算的说。。。笑！那个是johnny’s嘉年华会。)

感想是 – 意外的有趣。小树苗也在我看不到的地方努力着，进步神速。

剧场方面很像外国， 小卖部卖的是高级的鸡尾酒和三明治。一进场就不准拍照，大家都很守次序。。。。一个新的体验啰！

10/13 - 日比谷野音 Battle of Hibiya Yaon 2008

差点进不了场，因为如果手上拿的是会员票，进场时一定要出示voice的会员证！我那来的会员证？
不过我还是进场了。。。。中间耍了点小手段！我偷偷跟在一个也是1个人看live的日本人后面，乘进场一片混乱就浑水摸鱼和工作人员说我和前面的扇子是一起的。。。。就这样 – 过关了！我可是身经百战，livehouse训练有素的哟！

久违的日比谷野音 – 脑海里出现了好多好多回忆。本以为和这个场地已经绝缘的说。
Live的感想慢慢补上来.。

Kamijo + Teru + 勇＋Hizaki

You see, everything links up after some time. (read - irresistable urge to rant again on a weekend when I am not needed back in office!)

My favourite Lareine member – Kamijo (This guy is a real TRAP and a real stubborn idiot. Blood sucker!)

My favourite 藍花柳 member – Teru ( I mean, check out one of my post on this indie band in 2005-6, Teru was the saving grace of the band. Haaiz, what would you expect from a band whose frontman can barely screech a note, if not for the really strong band members, 藍花柳could not have possibly come this far. They had some really good songs though. Too bad Teru quit. Good thing he continues to play in Versailles and I have to say his outfit sure looks hotter than in Aikaryu. )

My favourite雀羅 member -勇 (Yes, despite all that conical bra thingy, 勇 was a dahling! And 雀羅 had some of the most obiang songs in vkei history, its just that everytime they were about to make it, some other indie band would appear out of nowhere and steal the limelight from them. Luck really not on their side! )

My favourite Crack Brain/Schwardix/Sulfuric member – Hizaki (his technique is great and for a long while many have called him a genuis in the vkei scene. I first chanced upon during Crackbrain days....and that was like darn long ago. Gosh he is already 28 yrs old!!!!! Wa, when I first saw him, he was barely 20 yrs old. He had his fair share of good bands and lousy ones. Schwardix Marvally was solid, but the band din last long. His last band Sulfuric Acid was quite lame, the songs did not rock.)

Put the 4 not exactly young chaps (Kamijo is probably just a bit younger than me) + Yuki from Sugar Trip (okay, no comments about this band though)……what do you have? A new extravagant cum decadent cum elaborately dressed up aristocrats and elegant ladies band – VERSAILLES.

While fans like me cannot stop listening to their Revenant Choir debut DVD (wow, how have times improved, pple are releasing debut DVDs, no longer CDS or the good ol cassette tapes!), am glad Versailles is finally releasing a full length album.

The Revenant Choir looks suspiciously like Kamijo’s brainchild, his characteristic story about the living dead, dead living, Victorian age etc. The twin guitars are my soft spot……I love the sound of twin guitars– from X-japan, Onmyouza, L’Dear….(along the way we have Raphael with Kazuki’s one-man guitar show, but I guess twin guitars are not that common in the band scene anyway).

I love how bands with twin guitarists perform the solo sections. Each guitar melody answering the other before both guitars joining in a 2-part rift culminating in the ULTIMATE CLIMAX!!!!!!

Muah hahahahaha!!!!!! Can’t wait for their October full length release!
(knowing Kamijo’s marketing tactics, its just the beginning of me kissing my wallet goodbye once again!

PV of The Revenant Choir (Look out for Teru and Hizaki’s guitar solo. Been a long time since I felt a vkei band can play decently. Vkei scene these days is flooded with a whole bunch of boys who use lots of playback....uuuurgh )

Thot might as well include a solo by Hizaki in his earlier project before joining Versailles. This kid is good la. Particular solo played here is not easy. (Guitar used is an ESP custom.)

Best-est Female Vocalist ~ BH's pick

EVERYTIME I need to get down to doing some adult like serious stuff eg preparing for that presentation or writing some board paper, I end up doing something totally unrelated.

Nyek……..was spending some time going through my storage procedure for the huge amount of CDs. You see, I had once upon a time packed them in alphabetical order, then I created a subcategory of “all time favourite CDs within easy reach”, subsequently I started another anime related category……..then everything became a mess la, coz I simply forgot where which one belonged to. Neeways, was going through the drawers of CDs and decided to do a BEST-est of BEST Female vocalist ranking! ( Oh ya, and I decided to start a Ah Lao and Potential Ah Lao sub-category as well)

BH’s pick of BEST-est of best female vocalist ranking

1) 椎名林檎
Looks, Voice, Talent, Character – she has what it takes.
Anyone tried singing her songs at Karaoke? You will know what I mean. Its damn difficult. She can sound mellow and screechy at the same time, HAIR STAND lor.
つよし (in my humble biased opinion) is easily one of the better singers and when he did a cover of ここでキスして…. It was disastrous.

• PV remake of one of her early hits - She is totally NUTS!!!! I Love her! PV showcases all the diff phases our Queen has been through.

• Performance with Saito Neko. Look at how her voice just morphs in and out of the various moods. And no one does the tongue curling thing as well as her.

2) 黒猫
Vocalist of 陰陽座. Her voice is so crystal clear and her stamina is so good, when she hits the solo portion and if you happen to blast your 3D surround sound system, you cannot even hear her breathing. Powerful lungs, but looks she lacks la. And the songs she writes are somehow not as good as those written by the rest of the members in 陰陽座。　

陰陽座's live perf of 妖花忍法帳(one of their bestest hits after debut! Anyone who can sound that good in a crappy livehouse must be good la!)

Oh, someone told me 黒猫 starting to look good these days. Aha.....able to afford their own make-up artists lei! Check out 黒衣の天女PV ( although I think the song is not that great. Their recent releases are quite faggot la.)

3) 中村由利―Garnet Crow
I like由利, it comes as a surprise to many. I like the way she performs on stage, totally bochap and quirky. But oh-how-powerful her vocals are esp in hitting the low notes. Her style needs getting used to. Usually she starts a song like she cannot be bothered, but when she hits the chorus, she becomes unstoppable. Much of my liking for Yuri is also because Garnet Crow itself as a band is so lovable. Furui (keyboardist) is one of the most highly paid music arrangers in Japan. (read the credits of other CDs and you will see his name pop up all the time). Garnet Crow’s guitarist is also a darling – he can sing, but usually he just leaves the limelight to Yuri.

If only garnet crow on a whole can improve on their dress sense!

Clip contains VARIOUS segments of the 2006 Twilight tour。I think it really showcases 由利's versatility.

東京ダイアモンド

算是小树很早期很红的一首成名曲。词曲由the baby stars的田中明仁提供。小树和the baby stars颇有渊源，是熟都不能熟的哥儿们。(the baby stars 就是唱红one piece动画的那个团）。小树从很早期的live到后来窜红的时期，support都是由the baby stars帮手。

词不怎样，不过曲子好玩， 转音和假音很绝。小树又是很芭辣的一个人，看那个只有70年代摇滚乐手才会摆的“手拿mike stand外加后腿直伸前腿半弯" 的pose。。。。。完全没有一点现代感， 简直是小老头！爆笑！不过我就是很萌他这个大刺刺的样子，很粗俗，很自然。有另外一首歌，是小树和rockahulla goose合作，完全描写了他来东京的心情。那首东西很强，至少词的部分让我有点感慨。下次吧！这次还是看看这首他唱了2年多的live定番东西。听后也踊跃给点意见吧！

加藤和树 - 大萌中！

现在的桌布！！！！！ -----我最最喜欢的香汗淋漓pose!!!!!

以下 - 售票情况---狂贺！sold out。。。。。。鞠躬！是当天售票，当天断货。我功成身退。。。。笑，是说我只抢了那么1张，没什么影响的啦，不过也算尽了一份力啰！

以上。。。。发完疯，现在回去埋头苦干，赚钱！ 周末再把小树高唱芭辣之霸的tokyo diamond剪上来（感谢马甲P帮我把dvd的片断剪出来，对我这腐女来说，这简直是世纪末的难题来的！不可能任务！）。

ホタルノヒカリ- 加藤和树 （新人）~~~谁是后妈！！！

As I was mentioning in my earlier post, my 特别推荐dorama for this summer season is ホタルノヒカリ. It’s a damn hilarious tale of a 干物女 or himono onna i.e. someone who is disinterested in love/marriage and basically just cannot wait to get home everyday after work to just laze around at home. She follows a strict schedule of knocking off at the specific minute, ie no OT no working late nite, no gallivanting with colleagues after work. She keeps her private life after work very much to herself and does not engage in the so-called normal social activities of typical OLs like dating or matchmaking (aka 春子in 派遣员的品格). For more on 干物女 and a test to see if you are one, pse go to 神秘人's blog。

I caught the 2nd episode of it in Japan and laughed till I peng coz I could really identify with some of the things the main character Hotaru did. And of course, the shock of seeing Kazuki on national TV outside of his kamen rider suit drove me nuts. Wa lao…..I din realize he joined Avex (same as his buddy Aibacchi). No wonder la, how else would someone like him manage to squeeze himself into a TV dorama that is neither about masked heroes nor some hentai theme to be telecast on TV Tokyo (also affectionately known as Maniac Channel)???!!!!!!

Wa……he formally major debut with Avex on 7/28! 正式出道了哦。。。是说他2003年从名古屋上京后就一直在livehouse打滚, 连续剧的网页说他是新人也有点那个啦。。。。。orz。了解了解，这是整个乐坛运作的规律。

加藤和树 :
1984年10月7日生まれ。てんびん座のＡ型。愛知県出身。

当然我注意他是因为他真的能唱（当然样子符合我的审美观也是考虑范围之内的事），不过现场爆发力有待进步，舞台动作不够放。声线偏高，低音部分还需要练习，尤其是快歌低音部分明显中气不足，唱得有点吃力。不过只要遇到中高音部分+acoustic， 他就无敌了！

虽然在livehouse跑了很长的时间和在特摄剧里小有名堂，不过他开始被比较多人认识是接演了网舞的K5冰帝女皇的角色。那年和U部长那一段双部长2重唱。。。。真的是经典！那个时候真的觉得他们是2代里面最能唱的了。 2006年, 出了他的首张EP-Rough Diamond和办了8场one man 。 票票竟然SOLD OUT ~~~~！后来又乘胜追击出了single-Vampire 又再加办8场 one man - Glamour Attack Tour, 票也让大家抢破头- 卖光光。Vampire 初登oricon no.16。 当时 以一个indies的新人来说，他在indies界也算是话题人物之一。 （是说，vampire真的是很芭辣的东西来的。。。pv也拍得有点那个。。。不过我蛮喜欢这首的。现在已经成为live定番啰！）

2007年是他发马力冲刺的一年, 出了一张 ballad 单曲 「そばにいてc/wリアル」。 「リアル」被选为TBS「世界バリバリ☆バリュー」的片尾曲，「そばにいて」成了TBS「エンタメキャッチ」的开头曲。 有 TBS 帮忙宣传，单曲初登 Oricon no 16。 年头又开了8场one man， 也是sold out。 现在终于找到avex 这个大户主，听说公司砸了大笔钱帮忙宣传他过档后7/28推出的EP。。。。宣传巴士到处飞，还打着 "这个人是谁" 的超级爆笑标语！

加盟大的公司不是坏事。。。。曝光率增加也不是不好，不过还是希望他专注于音乐方面的东西多点。

他的歌有点芭辣。。。。不对，是很芭！很好玩。。。看看两首live定番warning和 higher就知道啦。

10/13 - 日比谷野音有场one man， 是他加盟avex后真正以歌手身份出席的活动。。。。怎样？很想看看和以前有没有什么不同呢。。。。。。是说我觉得他加盟avex后的首张single不比之前indies时代的东西强到哪里去。。。。。

Xiyan - Chinese Fine Dining

After reading all about the rave reviews on Xiyan…..a whole bunch of us decided to just pop by and try it out. Lucky for us, we managed to reserve our table at this EXCLUSIVE RESERVATIONS ONLY restaurant in Duxton area although it was at quite short notice. Oh yes, despite our driver’s self-proclaimed familiarity with the Duxton area (no…NO……, not what you are thinking of!), we managed to NOT find the place easily because this exclusive eatery does not have any signboard on the outside. Anyway, thx to T2 and the rest in the first car, we managed to find IT!

Its located on the upper storey of a row of shop houses. If you follow the small staircase, you will be greeted by the red wall bearing the name of the eatery XIYAN – 喜宴。There is no fixed menu and each table just goes through a 12 course dinner whipped up by the chef. The menu changes daily and you need a min of 5-6 pax to make up one table. Our menu for the nite was:

Oh Boy!!!!!! Our first appetizer was a tomato dish. This genetically altered monster looking tomato the size of a huge persimmon is really GOOD! Even a meat lover like me took double-triple helpings. The tomatoes are extremely sweet and it goes extremely well with the wasabi & sesame sauce dribbled generously over it.

The next few appetizers were not that superb. Cold tofu pork floss – nothing to shout about really. Very similar to 冷奴,except this one had all the pork floss throw over it. I kinda prefer the Taiwanese version of 凉拌豆腐with century eggs included. The shishamo in my humble opinion was bad. The poor thing was neither plump nor tasty. Okra with red beancurd sauce turned our to be 腐乳四角豆！！！Well, very normal. I like my 腐乳thick and stinky, the watered down version here din really appeal to me.

The first main course of the nite was Oolong chicken. Its really a normal dish but I would say the chicken was marinated well and I could taste a hint of the fragrant tea in the skin.

The glutinous rice with spareribs was the show stealer (below). The glutinous rice was well simmered and sucked in all the flavorings…..死ぬほど美味しかった！トマトは勿論美味かった、でも、肉が大好きな私にとって、やっぱり豚肉はもっと好きだ！スパーリーブ最高！！！！！！

I have this thing against fried fish so I din really touch the grouper (which looked suspiciously like the gurami fish some Indonesian restaurants serve). According to those at the table, the fish was fresh alright. But what I liked about this dish was the generous dose of pomelo and lime salad that came along with the fish. Very refreshing and good for someone like me who adores pomelo but can never get around to peeling the damn thing. I left the next dish untouched – crabs!

The serving of sorbet midway (pic below) was a darn considerate act on the part of the eatery. Hail all things sour! Banzai to Sorbet! The basil was not overpowering, instead I could taste the kalamansi added in. I wished we had more of the sorbet. I could just stop eating here and have it for dessert.

The soup which followed was typical Cantonese fare – 老火汤。Not too bad, but I have tasted better soup. The last dish of the day was fried spinach ( ouch!!!!!!!). You cannot really go wrong with fried veg.

Desert was lychee ice-cream in osmanthus wine. Oh…thot the ice cream tasted more vanilla than lychee. I wished it was more fruity. The wine was fragrant and light. To top it of, we all had one canned lychee each!!!(Muahahahahahah!)

Quaint experience dining here really. Although not every dish was superb, they were usually above average. I really liked the basil sorbet and pomelo salad (冗談じゃないよ！). And the service staff were good, taking great pains to go through every single dish they served, explaining in detail the ingredients used and the cooking methods employed.

もっとも神に近い!!!!!!!!!!

私にとって、もっとも神に近いバンド – X JAPAN!

最近忙到半死。。。。还好我家的太上皇出了个20000円的东西慰藉我那快干枯的心灵！
说到抢钱，太上皇出动，其他人都靠边站。你说J家厉害抢钱，看看我家太上皇，1994年两场巨蛋竟然出了3个版本DVD。内容差不多，还出了3个版本。。。而且推出当天竟然给他老人家抢滩成功，包了oricon前3名，莫非他已经修炼成精！压箱底的东西都能赚成这个样子。。。见鬼了！

1994年．。。。也不能算是巅峰期，不过我那时还是沦陷得很厉害。

Rose of pain 歌长10多分钟，是我很喜欢很喜欢的一首indies时代的东西。为什么觉得他们是最接近神的乐团， 这首东西是起因。。。。。搞摇滚他们当然出色，不过看rose of pain 里头的音乐性，就知道他们不只是一群局限metal的发烧友。Fugue in g minor是很多乐队玩过的东西，madeth’ll, mucc, nightmare。。。。。不过私心认为X Japan玩得最出色。Rose of pain根本已经和fugue in g minor混成一体，完全听不出个别乐曲。。。这是yoshiki高明的地方。当然曲子本身难度很高，弹奏技巧没有俩下子根本不能表演起来。体力和集中力也是一个问题。10多分钟，整首歌曲维持一个很高的tension，中间没有间断，体力和集中力稍微少一点也不行。

和orchestra一起表演。。。。。。10多年前太上皇们就玩过了。真正symphonic metal。。。最出色的还是他们。发觉和现下的vkei比较，原来X Japan表演时候都很正经, 没什么装饰。。。。因为是很有实力的团体，所以就变得没什么注重表演的形式了（最showy的可能要数toshi的发型了）。

为什么现在已经没什么兴趣追vkei的原因。。。。因为很多东西都本末倒置了。

Rose of pain – X Japan with Orchestra (this is not the current DVD release)

Fugue in G Minor (this is how it sounds like, the original organ version by Bach)

ゆにガーデン

ゆにガーデン - 日本少数的英国风庭院。除了种植各式各样的花草，庭院还开放给观光客参观。



院子里头贩卖各种用干花和药草制作的小摆设和杂货，还有farmer's market贩卖各种有机食品和北海道道地食品 。

这里环境非常漂亮。我们在院子里面吃了午餐（普通的日式便当），虽然简单，不过果菜都很新鲜。

有时很佩服日本人，你可以说它是个包装的社会也好，很流于表面的社会也好，不过有几个地方能做到像他们一样。一个简单的花园，把它弄得干净漂亮，看准了都市人向往大自然的商机，在庭院里面开办以香草为主的烹饪课，园艺讲座，手工公房，吸引了大批附近的居民。他们根本不用靠外国旅客，已经能自足的经营下去。

虽然院子不大，不过就小巧玲珑，让人很舒服。

にしかみ

一日一更新！（爆。。。看看我的热情能持续多久！）



にしかみ - 北海道一个颇有规模的农场。最著名就是1个钟头任采任吃草莓活动（いちご狩り - 840yen)。农场还有其它活动如荞麦面/豆腐/奶油制作公房。收费不贵，大概1000yen左右。农场设立于昭和50年，62年获得朝日农业赏受赏。平成3年才开始开放给外人观光，并在草莓结果季节（5月-11月）举行很受欢迎的いちご狩り。



我长这么大第一次看到草莓果树（说是树，其实也不对，矮矮的草莓丛就那么一排一排的排在地上，很漂亮。）那天去刚好有个小学生团在园里参观，孩子们采草莓真是上手！每粒都又大又红。原来这个采草莓有窍门。园里的负责人说如果是喜欢吃甜的草莓，就要专门选在叶子下没有受到阳光直晒的草莓。被阳光晒过，果实就有点微酸。我生平第1次1次过吃了整40多颗草莓。。。。甜到漏！






看草莓大到，她的小手都快握不住了 - 这孩子笑起来太幸福了！
