ankle brace 足枷
07/12/09 12:12
To complete the NYC experience, I have taken our friends from Tokyo to Carolines stand-up comedy house on Broadway. Andy Dick was performing. I knew him from Aristocrats and also he had some trouble with law year ago but didn't expect to see an ankle brace (GPS unit for house arrest) used as a part of his story line... His son also performed at Carolines, joking about his father's misbehavior...
東京から遊びに来ていた友達がマンハッタンの経験を満喫出来る様昨晩はブロードウェイのコメディーハウス、キャロラインズへ。Andy Dickが登場。彼は映画 Aristocrats で知っていたし、彼が数年前法の裁きを受けた事も知っていたがまさか、警官が彼の居場所を探知出来るGPSの足枷を付けて舞台に立ちそのことをお笑いのネタとして使うとは思いもよらず。おまけに実の息子もコメディアンとして登場、父のセクハラ事件をまたネタにするし...

Friends from Tokyo wanted to enjoy a taste of jazz in NYC so we headed to iridium, a jazz place on Broadway.
It is not as famous, nor as fancy as Blue Note. It’s all about your music taste and who is playing, but iridium could provide a nice evening right at the center of Times Sq without paying too much.
Last night, the performance was done by Antonio Hart, Cindy Blackman, George Colligan and Eddie Gomez, playing music of Chick Corea.
東京から遊びに来ている友達がジャズが聴きたいと、そこでブロードウェイーのイリジウムへ
ブルーノートほど有名でも、ファンシーでもないし、どんな音楽が好きで誰が演奏してるかによるが、イリジウムはタイムズスクエアーにも近いし、お手頃
昨晩はChick Coreaの音楽をAntonio Hart、Cindy Blackman、George Colligan、Eddie Gomezによる演奏

I met Sugiyama san when I’ve moved to NYC year ago. He has a very nice restaurant “Sugiyama” where he produces a traditional Japanese Kaiseki style dining experience. I always sit at the counter so I can see his cooking and how he presents food to his customer, carefully arranging each pieces so you can appreciate all flavor and texture of food.
His wife and Sugiyama san both share same hometown in Japan with me so we often talk about our hometown, music, and food. He plays drum (R&R), and his daughter plays piano.
I had an opportunity to listen to her recital yesterday at the Kaufman Center Merkin Concert Hall.
His daughter looks like her parents but plays very different type of music, still nice to know a family who shares the joy of music.

杉山さんに初めてお会いしたのはちょうど1年前にNYCに越した時だ。彼のレストラン｢Sugiyama｣はニューヨークに居て日本の懐石料理が経験出来る貴重な場所、私はいつもカウンターに座り杉山さんが丁寧に一品づつ料理をする姿を楽しませていただく
杉山さんと奥様は共に私と同じ故郷、岡山の方、食事をいただきながら故郷の話、音楽の話、料理の話を楽しませていただく。杉山さんはロックのドラマー、娘さんはピアノ
昨日、その娘さんのリサイタルに伺った
ご両親の面影がある反面、音楽的にはかなり異なるクラッシック、音楽のタイプは異なっても家族で音楽を共有できる事はすばらしい

Had a chance to see ZED with friends while in Tokyo
As many other Cirque du Soleil, their performance is filled with energy and emotion
東京に居る間にZEDを友達と観る機会があった
他のシルク・デゥ・ソレイユのようにこのパフォーマンスもエネルギーと感情に満ちあふれていた

punk パンク

Thanks to my friends, my music taste expanded in the past few years from Pop, Jazz and Classic to Punk. No one is too old to express him/herself in a simple beat and raw energy.

この数年、年甲斐もなく音楽の趣味がポップ、ジャズ、クラッシックからパンクへ広がった。シンプルなビートと生のエネルギーで自分を表現する事に歳の壁はない

Manhattanhenge
06/01/09 19:39
All maps are drawn as if Manhattan Island is exactly aligned north-south but that is a convenience, not a true geography. Manhattan is about 30 degree off.
Twice a year, the sunset and sunrise exactly aligns with east-west street grids on Manhattan. This is called Manhattanhenge.
As I held my camera at the intersection of Madison and 34th Street around 8:15 on May 30th., the sun was casting its beam from New Jersey or Hudson River to all the way down to East River.
地図を見るとマンハッタン島は南北に真っ直ぐ伸びている様に見えるが、これは地図の都合で実際には３０度程ずれている
年２回、東西に走るマンハッタンの碁盤の目の道路と日の出、日の入りがぴったり一致する日があり、これをマンハッタンヘンジと呼ぶ
マジソン街と３４番通りの交差点で５月の３０日、午後８時１５分頃、西のニュージャージ、ハドソン川から東のイーストリバーまで太陽の光が届く瞬間

One of the best gift was tickets to “Kooza” by Cirque du Soleil last night.
It was amazing to see the balance between tension and laughter and their performance bringing everyone together.

Went to another Broadway Show, “God of Carnage”.
Yet another emotional show, drama between two married couples, lots of laugh, great performance by Jeff Daniels, Hope Davids, Marcia Gay Harden, and James Gandolfini from “The Soprano”.
またブロードウェイへ、今回は “God of Carnage”.
前回と同じく2つの夫婦を取り巻く感性豊かなストーリーで笑いまくり、出演はHBOのテレビ番組で有名な James Gandolfini、Macia Gay Harden、Hope Gay Harden、そしてすばらしい演技の Jeff Daniels

Went to see “August Osage County” with friends, great play, 5 Tony Awards, and great acting by Estelle Parsons.
A part of story was too real to me, reminded me my family, I was laughing and crying at the same time.
The Music Box theater interior is very nice too.
久しぶりにブロードウェイのショー、August Osage Countyを友達と、トニー賞を５つ受賞しただけあって、スゴクおすすめ、とくに母の役のEstelle Parsonsの演技は感動
ただ、あまりにも内容が自分の家族に似ていて、笑いながら涙が
劇場、 The Music Boxの内装も一見の価値あり
