Acoustic night at "Hip shot" in Koriyama

Well well, isn’t it funny.
Friday night I was thinking. “Hmm…tomorrow is a brand new day and I have absolutely now plans, I wonder what God has prepared for me tomorrow?”
I wake up from my ringing phone. It was around 10.00 am. “Moshi moshi” I said in my sleep… “Hi, it’s Eiichi, I am going to have a concert all of a sudden in Koriyama, do you want to come? If you come I can pick you up at Koriyama station, and then I can drive you back when the concert is over?”
“OH YES,I have no plans today, so I really want to come ”,I said.
Some hours later I was on my way on the bus, Koriyama is like one and a half hour away from where I live.
I came there and met my friend Eiichi. Eiichi is a very nice guy, a god musician, easy to get to know and with a heart of gold and his English is amazing.
We walked around a little, checked out a guitar shop, and then we came to the club who was called “Hip shot”, I talked with some of his friends and the boss of the club. There were like 6 different people who was going to play. And not so many people there, very few actually.
And then all of a sudden, Eiichi and the boss said: “We have some time extra in todays' program, do you want to sing some of your songs?”
Nina: “Are you serious? (in Japanese of cause)”
They: “Yes, yes…how many do you want to play?”
Nina: Hmm..ok, I can play three of my songs.
So I borrowed a guitar and had my first “concert” in a real club. WOW ,I LOVED IT!
(The guy I borrowed the guitar from, thanked me soo much for borrowing his guitar. Japanese people are just too nice)
And then after ,some of us went out eating on a Italian restaurant, and after that we went to this jam-café/bar/restaurant thing and had a jam-session. So I played two of my songs there too. Nice practice.
So after, Eiichi drove me home, but we became hungry on the way and none of us had any rush so we just went out eating in the middle of the night.. I came home after an amazing day 06.25 am, he,he.
An amazing day filled with lots of blessings.

Good friends&action

This is a really cool japanese restaurant.First you start with a warm grilltable and unready food.
You mix it together and put oil on the warm table, and then you throw the food on the table.
Then you get a japanese(I recommend)to put it nicely together with (what do I call it...hmm),well you can see on the picture.You let it stay there for a while, and then you put on some sause,and something else that I don't know what is,and then you have a wonderful meal..
Oishi desu ne. And whatever you do, don't put the chopsticks in you eyes...
So when you are finished eating,and your onaka ga ipai,take a nice drive with the good friend you ate the food with. And enjoy, beacause that's what I did:)
