Well I just came home from a week in Tokyo with alot of new pictures and new experiences:)
I finished painting the stage wall at the new place "Lighthouse" then I packed by bag, grabbed my guitar and went to Tokyo. I came there thuresday night and David was leaving the day after, so i got to see him a little bit before he went, that was great. Well I met David, Torstein at this eating place in Shibuya with this Daisuke guy that I had´nt seen in two years, that was cool. We ate some food and then we went to Cozmos cafe, there is this open mic that I go to every time I´m in Tokyo so I went there today to , met all the wonderful people that hang out there , played 4 songs and enjoyed.
Friday morning,David went back to Norway and we all cried,Japan and I...and Torstein was the worst, he was soooo sad and said "Hva er pakka Hva er pakka???;) "...like everyday the next week...
Thank you sooo much for what you have been here David:) You´re soooo welcome back!!!:)
Friday I went to hang out with the amazing Asami and Ryosuke, while Torstein was digg´n rekordo ,we hanged out at this WIRD cafe for hours:) Then we went to eat at the wonderful Yokoyama and his sweet Kanakos´new place, wow he makes AMAZING FOOD:) We enjoyed and laugh, played cards,ate and had a great time as we always have together and my arm was filled with lot´s of new IMPORTANT word , he,he:)
Saturday me and Torstein hanged around untill we went to meet Natsukirai, this music guy at this drumn´bass place.We had some food and taoled for some hours. It was cool, and we went to this drumn´bass event after,stayed there for a couple of hours and went back to the hotel.
Sunday we met this Yohei guy who Hans Ivar hooked us up with because Hans Ivar met him in Norway though his job one week before we met him, it was sooo cool, he was soo easy to be with and it was sooo cool to meet him:) Torstein and Yohei went around in Shimokitrazawa looking for records while I was walking abround in shops talking to people...he,he.
Then I really wanted to go to this meeting at the norwegian ambassy, I got this note in my mailbox before I left for Tokyo about this christian fall meeting there,so since I was in Tokyo at the same time, I wanted to go there. So we acctually ended up going there the three of us, he,he. It was fun. And Yohei managed to bless some sad norwegians with some licorice he bought while he was in Norway...wow I acctually realised how important licorice is for Norwegians...WE NEEEEEED licorice!!!! And Yohei found out that some decoration on the wall at the ambassy was just like licorice, so yes , WE NEEED IT!!!
On Monday it was raining like crazy, we walked around in the rain. In the nighttime I went to this place in Roppongi called "Rock Factory" where a friend of mine is working, she has an open mic there. So I took my guitar walked out in the rain and played 5 songs there, It was great to sing and to see her again and meet some new people.It´s soo good practise to play at those places:)
On thuesday we went to Ikubukuro because there´s a Disk Union there too for Recordo-junkie-chudoku-crazy-Toshi(Torstein), and for me there is some friends. Ryousuke and Asami works there. Asami was free so she met us for a little while, then we met her boyfriend Ryousuke at his shop. It´s always nice to see them.
Then we went to see Yukie in the evening. We had a nice dinner with her before she had to go to work again.She is sooo cute:)
On wednesday we walked around fixing the last things Torstein needed to do and then we met Toshi for a little while. It was great seeing him again.
And when we didn´t met other people,we ate breakfast at Starbucks or Doutor, Torstein was out hunting records, and I was walking around listening to music thinking about life, and we ate alot of junk food, hanged out and hanged out. Torstein is a nice guy,very nice..I´m going to miss you good friend. Nice having you here:)
