Wednesday 14th October The Tote Hotel, Melbourne
昨夜はそこそこ寝られて、朝起きてブログのアップなど。食パン2枚食べてから、12時半にホテルを出てオーストラリアの公共放送局ABCの中のラジオDouble Jの収録へ行きました。
I could sleep a kind of well last night. I wake up and updated my blog and did some work for band. After eating 2 slices of bread, we left the hotel at 12:30 and drove to the studio of Double J radio in ABC, the Australian public broadcasting station for the appearance of a program.
ホテルから車で20分ほど。ポールさんの運転で。
It took about 20min from the hotel. Paul drove the car.
ABCは、日本で言うとNHKみたいなとこです。
ABC is just like Japanese NHK.
大変ユニークな番組です。情報公開があったらまた、SNS等でお知らせします。とにかく面白かったです。ABCの玄関の展示。
It’s a truly unique program. I’ll share further details via social media or other channels once they’re made public. In any case, it was really entertaining! These are exhibits in the ABC lobby.
収録を終えてホテルにいったん戻ってすぐに近所のベトナム料理店にて昼食。照り焼きチキンとごはん。大変おいしかったです！
After finishing the recording, we headed back to the hotel briefly, then immediately went to a nearby Vietnamese restaurant for lunch. I had teriyaki chicken with rice. It was delicious!
その後、午後5時にホテルを出て会場へ。会場へは車で6分ぐらい。
Then we drove to the venue at 5pm. It took only 6 min.
ツアー初日はいつもあわただしいです。サウンドチェックのあと、夕食はポールさんお気に入りのイタリアンで。ライブ開始時間直前なのですこしだけ食べて持ち帰りにしました。
The first day of a tour is always hectic. After the soundcheck, we had dinner at one of Paul’s favorite Italian restaurants. Since it was almost time for the show to start, we only ate a little and took the rest to go.
ワインはポールさんのです。私のではありません。笑
This wine is not mine. It’s Paul’s. 😀
楽屋は2階で、2階も会場でした。サポートのMolerの演奏の音と2階の音を勘違いしていて、開演時間ぎりぎりに階下に降りて行きましたが、セッティングは余裕でできました。よかった。
会場は満員。楽屋からステージにたどり着くのにぎゅうぎゅうのお客さんの間を通って行きました。たくさんのお客さんに来ていただき、感謝いたします。
The dressing room was on the second floor, which also served as part of the venue. I mistook the sound of the supporting act, Moler, for the sound coming from the second floor, so I headed downstairs just as the show was about to begin but I could have enough time to get everything set up. That was a relief.
The venue was packed. To reach the stage from the dressing room, I had to make my way through a dense crowd of attendees. I am truly grateful to everyone who came out.
ケータリングありがとう！キャドバリーチョコ久々食べました。おいしっ！
Thanks for great catering!
終演後は、機材を片づけてグッズコーナーへ行きました。
ホテルに帰って夜食を食べてシャワーを浴びて就寝。
After the show, we packed up the equipment and headed to the merchandise area.
We returned to the hotel, had a late-night snack, took a shower, and went to bed.
