Music event: This year again I went to the "oshare bon-odori" event presented by fashion designer Keita Maruyama on the rooftop of department store Isetan! Like last year, Nomiya Maki performed live, and this time she was accompanied by Yokoyama Ken (Crazy Ken Band)! Maki sang ondō versions of P5 songs "Tokyo wa yoru no 7ji" and "Sweet Soul Revue" (both were released on iTunes Japan a few days before), and also two new duets with Yokoyama Ken: "otoko to onna" (cover of "Un homme et une femme" to be included on Maki's new album coming out on August 31) and "T-jirō" (from Ken's next album to be released on August 3). The ondō versions were sung a bunch of times, maybe 4 times each, while the audience danced along the specially choreographed moves. The special cocktail was "Suica Soul Revue" (suica = watermelon), I had two. :) This fun event is the perfect cue for summer!
