みやこ音楽祭、いよいよ明後日。会場は京大西部講堂だけど、ナイフが出演するのは野外ステージだ。寒さをぶっ飛ばすライブをしたいと思っとります。

物販コーナーに新商品が3つも並ぶのでお楽しみに。
1.七分袖ベースボールＴシャツの新作。
これ、おしゃれでキュートよ。
2.マフラータオル新作。
これ、ブラック主体のロックな一枚。汗をかいたらタオルとして、寒いときはマフラーとして使えますよ。
3.エナメルバッグ。
神戸本町高架下のお店「右廻り研究所」とのコラボバッグ。かわいくて便利でかっこいいよ。

ライブの方は、わたくし、明後日（土曜）のトリのバンド「Soul of どんと」にも参加させてもらいますので、要注目。

Miyako Music Festival will be held the day after tomorrow. SK will play at open air stage. It might be cold but our show will make you hot.

See our merchant corner. We’ll sell three kinds of new items.

1. Long sleeve baseball T shirts with new design
This is so cute!

2. New design muffler towel
This black muffler towel is very rock. You can use it as muffler and towel. 2 ways. Useful!!

3.Enamel bag
It’s a vinyl actually but the bag is very fasionable. Designed by Migimawari Kennkyu Sho in Kobe and Shonen Knife. A kind of collaboration.

I’ll appear at the headlining band Soul of Don’t so keep watch!

店先で急いで撮影したので、画角がずれちゃった。

I took this photo quickly in front of the showcase then it became a little off to the side.

ここ2週間ぐらい風邪気味だけど、テニスやったら調子良かった。がはははは。へんな力が抜けてミスが減ったのが好調の原因だな。

I have a cold for 2 weeks but my condition of tennis was good. Hey ho! I could play without tense but with relax then having less unforced errors.

11月4日、京都木屋町アバンギルドにて真奈さんを偲ぶライブがあって、わたしは「少年ナイフなおこソロ」で「Herbs」と「蜘蛛の家」の2曲を演奏させてもらったので写真をアップします。ステキなライブで真奈さんもきっと喜んでいることでしょう。1人でステージに立つなんてことめったにないもんだから、キンチョーしました。アバンギルドは食べ物がおいしいわ。VJの映像がとてもよかったです。みんなの演奏ももちろんすばらしかったよ。

I played 2 songs Herbs and Spider House for Mana’s memorial show at Kyoto Urbanguild on November 4th. I update the photo.Mana must be happy for the fantastic show. I got nervous for my solo. It was very rare to play alone. Anyway, everything went well. Video Jockey’s work and every other musicians played excellent show. Foods are delicious at Urbanguild.

The other day, I went to see Iron Maiden show at Osaka-jo Hal. I wanted to buy their T-shirt at merch but they didn’t sell my size XS. I know the rate of male and female were 8:1. Even if they make girl’s T, they won’t sell well. The average age of the show was about 40 years old. I saw many foreign people from non-English countries. I’ve heard that Heavy Metal is popular in Scandinavia, Germany and South America.

Then I watched around and went to my seat. I don’t like arena seat because I’m short and I can’t see the stage. : When I saw KISS show, I couldn’t see the stage from arena seat. I booked stand seat. I could see well this time.

For opening act, Lauren Harris, a daughter of Steve Harris, the leader of Iron Maiden. Her back musicians were guitar, bass and drums. They seems over 40’s. The guitarist played very well. His play was as if two players play. Lauren is a kind of Avril Lavigne but more like 80’s style. Steve Harris was taking video of her from the stage side. It made me smile.

About the main act, they played all songs from their new album A matter of life and death and played a few old songs. Stage set were big screen which was painted album jacket, big heavy tank, a big doll controled by a person who was with stilts. Members are consists of vocal, bass, drums, and three guitars. It’s very special. And no one did backing vocals. Only the vocalist Bruce Dickinson was singing.

Bruce was running and singing all along the show. He was very tough. I know he is a pilot when he don’t tour. A kind of superman. But he can do many activity owing to Steve controls about the band everything.

Anyway, I enjoyed the show and I’d like to see more shows.
