Pineapple chāhan and Cubismo Grafico
This was my lunch today, spicy pineapple chāhan (fried rice) with shrimp, which I ate at one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Nakano, Sukoh Thai (Nakano-ku Nakano 3-34-30 New Funabashiya bldg 8F, 03-3738-5090). The lunch plate includes soup, salad and fruit jelly as dessert.
Everytime I go there I always eat this same delicious meal. It used to be #20 on the menu, but then the menu changed and this plate wasn't on it anymore but I ordered it anyway, and the next time I went it was back on the menu as #10. I still refer to it as "20-ban" (#20). :)
Tonight I went to see MATSUDA "Chabe" Gakuji (aka Cubismo Grafico)'s DJ set at Tower Records Shinjuku. He played a large variety of styles, including bossa nova, old French pop, 80's disco, and club-style music.
I was hoping to be able to shake hands and get an autograph, because when I bought the album I had got a ticket allowing me to "something" after the event, which is usually a signing session. However this time we just got a bag with flyers and stickers from Escalator Records.
Here are a few pictures of Chabe at work!

And now, here are my latest Time Slip Glico picks. :)
Agnes Chan "hinageshi no hana" (1972), a cool pop song. Agnes Chan is from Hong Kong, and she became a teen pop idol in Japan in the early 1970's. Her impressive biography in English can be found here.
INOUE Takayuki Band "kizudarake no tenshi" (1974), a short instrumental rock-ish song.

Just bring your CDs next time he gives a show. The last I went to see KAJI Hideki, he was playing in the band, and after we went up to him and talked with him for a bit, took pictures with him, and then he gave me a copy of the new Cubismo Grafico album that was going to be released the following month.

Actually I didn't care so much for an autograph this time (I was happy at the idea of it being a signing session though), cause I had already got one when "Buonissimo" (remix album) came out.
But I had brought a Glad En Mono sampler CD and wanted to give him a copy, and also forward Jesper's salutations. :)
