Weekly revue 2016 week #5 (January 30 to February 5)
Food: - Kawaii Monster Cafe, Harajuku. I finally went! It's a crazy, colorful and fun place, much bigger than I expected!
- Curry at aoi tori, Hatagaya
- Curry at Have More Curry, Omotesando
- Sunday Bake Shop!
Music events: - On February 2 was "Absolute Learners #3" at Shindaita Fever, featuring Learners (band of Matsuda "Chabe" Gakuji), Kaji Hideki, Shoko and SaToA. All were great! Shoko's band was formed of Kaji Hideki (her husband), organist Tucker, and Koncos. Then Kaji Hideki played his energetic set with the Koncos guys. Last was Learners who totally rocked the place (there was even some stage diving!), also featuring Tucker for 4 songs. Kaji Hideki also DJ'd with his Blue Boys Club unit. What a fun evening!
- I went to see a free Vanilla Beans in-store event on the roof at Shibuya Marui, on the release day of "Vanilla Beans V". This was also the day of "setsubun" (the traditional spring day) which is celebrated by throwing and eating beans, and Vanilla Beans appeared holding baskets from which they threw small packs of beans all over the audience.
Actually I also passed by Tower Records Shibuya on Friday just while they were having another in-store. So I got to watch them again although I missed the beginning and had to leave before it finished. If you haven't bought the album yet, you should during this month so that you can contribute to their tough goal (15000 copies by the end of February).
