13 April The Garage, London

3時過ぎにロンドンのホテルを出発。いくら寝ても寝足りなくて、出発時間までどこにも行かずに、朝昼兼用ご飯も手持ちの食料で賄いました。ホテルを出て30分後、会場のThe Garage 着。

We left the hotel in London around 3pm. I couldn’t have enough sleep no matter how I much slept. I didn’t go anywhere until the departure time. I ate some food I had for my branch. After 30 minutes drive, we arrived at The Garage.

地下鉄の駅の真ん前で、とても便利な場所にある会場です。

The venue is very close to a Tube station. The location is excellent!

会場内部。広くてきれい!客席からも見やすい。

Inside of the venue. Huge and beautiful! The stage is high enough to watch from the floor.

サウンドチェックとグッズコーナー設営の後、腹ごしらえの為、食べ物を仕入れに近所のマクドナルドへ。

We sat up the merch table and went to get food. We went to McDonald’s near by.

フィレオフィッシュとカフェオレを買って楽屋で食べました。バタバタして、ご飯をゆっくり食べる暇ありませぬ。

I bought Filet-O-Fish and cafe au lait and ate at the dressing room. I had to eat food quickly.

ホントにバタバタしてて、あっという間に本番。8:45pmライブスタート!大きな会場いっぱいのお客さんが来てくださって、みなさん、とても楽しんで下さった模様。感謝感激!ほんと、感謝しかありません。この写真は祭りの後。床がビールでびしょびしょ。

We were very busy before the show time. I felt that the show time came very quickly. The show was started from 8:45pm. It was a big venue but the show was packed with many Shonen Knife fans. Everyone there seemed enjoying our show. I just want to say thank to everyone who came to our show! This picture is “after party “. The floor was wet by beer.

今日グッズコーナーを手伝って頂いたユキさんとあつこ。お手伝いありがとうございました!

Atsuko and Yuki who support our merch. Thank you so much!

そして、ライブにはウルフルケイスケさんが来て下さいました!びっくり!ほんま、ありがとうございます!久々にお会いできて嬉しかった!

とにかくバタバタで、写真さえ撮る暇もなく、慌ただしい1日でしたが、沢山のお客さんに会えてとても嬉しかったです。本当にありがとう!

(ライブの写真は、追ってアップしますね!)

Keisuke who is a famous Japanese musician, a member of Ulfluls came to see us. I was surprised to see him in London. Thank you for coming! I was happy to see him.

Anyway, it was very busy day but I was so happy to see many people. Thanks a lot!!!!!
