March 2 Loppen, Copenhagen Denmark

3月2日(木)Loppen, Copenhagen Denmark

またまたホテルの朝食をたんまり食べて、部屋に帰ってグッズコーナーのポップ描きと練習。
I had breakfast fully at the hotel. After I came back to the room, I made price cards for our merch and practiced the guitar.

昼過ぎに会場へ。ここの会場は、かなり前に何度かお世話になったことがあります。塀で囲まれたこの辺りはヒッピー村的な特区だそうです。観光客も見学できます。
We loaded in to the venue in the afternoon. I’ve ever been here several times long time ago. I’ve heard that around here is a special hippie’s area, a kind of extraterritoriality. People can go sight seeing.

リフトで機材を2階まで上げて、ステージをセッティング。
We raise our equipment to the 2nd floor using a lift and sat the stage.

おいしいパンやコーヒーを出していただいた後にサウンドチェック。Kenkichiさんがサウンド担当してくれた。
Delicious bread and coffee were served and we started soundcheck. Kenkichi operated the sound.

一旦ホテルに戻り衣装に着替えて会場へ7時に行き、夕食を出していただいた。美味しかった!ごちそうさまでした!

メニューを日本語で調べて書いてくれている、このおもてなし嬉しい。

We went back to the hotel once and changed into stage costumes. Then went back to the venue at 7pm. Dinner was served at the venue. It was delicious. Thank you!

I was happy that the menu was translated in Japanese. So kind.

楽屋がないのでグッズコーナーに居たらお客さんが続々と来られてお買い物されていきました。ありがとう!ほぼ全ての方がクレジットカード支払い。今回初登場のクレジットカードリーダーが大活躍。りさちゃんに使い方を教わって、最初怖々操作してたけど、最後には何とか出来るようになった。はー!
There was no dressing room and we were at a merch table. Many people came here to get merch. Thank you! Most of all people paired by credit cards. We borrowed a card reader this time. It was the first time for me to use it. Risa taught me how to use it and I was slow to use at the beginning but I got used to at last.

ライブの始まり。と、思ったらあつこのベースが壊れた!音が出ない!サポートアクトの”ATOM” CHRIS DALL & POWERBANDの方にベースを貸してもらいライブした。ホントに親切に貸して頂き感謝します!ありがとう!
Just before the showtime, Atsuko connected to the bass amp but there was no sound. Ah, her bass was broken! The support act “ATOM” CHRIS DALL & POWERBAND let us use their bass. Thanks a lot!

たくさんのお客さんに来ていただき、待ってたよーと声をかけてもらって感激です。お客さんみなさん超ノリノリでこちらも楽しかった。たくさんのお客さんに来て頂きました。ありがとう!
Many people came to our show and said “we were waiting you for a long time”. I was so happy to hear that. The show went well and people were dancing and sang along us. Thank you very much!

宿に帰ってシャワーを浴びて、ベットにバタリ。疲れたー、腰がだるいー、けど無事に1日目が終わってよかったです。
I took a shower at the hotel and slept very quickly. I got tired. I have sore back. But it was nice that we could finish the first day of the tour safely.
