最後に笑う者の笑いが一番良い、ベイビー

That was quick!

Video-clip is ready for you to watch, if you haven't already



Spot the Sophia!

And just as soon as I thought we had a new cat family...tragedy.
You know, in Greece there's still lots of people who commit severe crimes against little animals.
I won't get into details, though, since this is an extremely depressing subject.

Anyway, to our shock, we found the one-eyed, young mom of my previous post, died from poisoned food the other day. Then the black cat, immediately snatched her black-white kitten away and I assume it's not alive anymore. So basically I was left with a dead cat, a missing kitten and the remaining, white kitten crying frantically all night. I can safely assure you I've never experienced such an animal-thriller-movie before.

I couldn't find it in my heart to throw the dead mom to the trash...after all she was "our" cat ever since she was born, so I tried digging a grave in our garden. At night. With the white kitty crying and climbing my leg like crazy, seeking for company. Can you imagine me with a big shovel digging graves, while unaware babies are climbing on my back? Well I did it -_-;

Rest in piece, one-eyed kitty.
You were a good mom...





新しい猫家族が出来たと思ったのに。。。カオス。
あのね。。。ギリシャで動物に対して犯罪がまだ多いけどその話題に詳しく参考しない。非常に悲しいから。。。

この前は前回のブログに乗ってた目のひとつの猫ママは毒入ってる餌で殺された。その次は後いっぴきの黒い猫ママは、白黒の子猫をどこかかくしたから、もう生きていないと思う。。。結局は死んだ猫と残ってるの泣いてる白い子猫の間で慌てた。。。夜中から朝まで子猫はずっと泣いて、そんな動物ホラームービーを始めて見たと。。。

居なくなったママをゴミ箱に捨てる心がなくて、しかも生まれたからうちの庭に住んでたから。。。庭の中でお墓を作ろうと思った。夜中で。シャベルで頑張りながら、白い子猫は私の足を登って、あったかい抱っこを捜してた。。。そういうソフィアの姿を想像は出来るかな？まあ。。。本当にあったことだからね。

悲しい。凄く悲しい。
レストインピース、ワンアイ猫ママ。
いいママでした。

...to all the moms in the world!

We have two new moms just outside our door. They're two of my favourite stray kitties.
Actually, these babies are the 4th consecutive generation that grows in our garden.
My mom takes care of them every day.

世界のママ達へおめでとうございます！

家の庭で若いママが二匹が居る。大好きな野良猫の二匹。この赤ちゃんは４番目の世代です　笑　
うちのママは毎日ケアーしている。






Although she's just less than a year old, she's a splendid mom. She lost her eye possibly during birth, but she's beautiful nevertheless. She gave birth to the white kitty.

彼女はまだ１歳じゃないのに、すばらしいママだ。生まれた時から目がなくなってしまったけど、とても美人です。白い子猫を生んできた。




The two moms are actually sisters. The black one gave birth to the tiny kitten, that was born prematurely. She didn't wanna take care of it initially, so her sister took it in instead.

実はこのママ達は兄弟です。黒のは小さい子猫を生んだけど、早めに生まれたから、彼女は赤ちゃんを捨てようとした　＞＜　しかし、お姉ちゃんは捨てられた赤ちゃんを自分の赤ちゃんにした。




It's a boy!
男の子だ！




Cousins
従兄弟　

I chose two outfits for the video-clip, which was shot within three, long days.
I took part in just two of the three.

On the first day, I wore a creepy-cute costume.
Gotta love my Dai-kou brooch ;P

PV撮影は三日間かかった。私は二日目から参加した
そして衣装は二つ選んだ！
一番面のは怖い可愛いの衣装。
ダイコウのブローチです、イエイ！



No matter where I go, I always carry my useless bunch of countless straps.
バッグはどんなにいっぱい入っても、必ず数え切れないストラップも入ってる　ｗｗ



Pretty exhausted, but it was worth it!
Is it D'artagnan?
Is it V for Vendetta?
Is it Zorro?
Is it Jesus Christ?

No, it's ZOMBIE SAM!

結構疲れたけど、凄く楽しかったです！！

彼はだれでしょう？
ダルタニャン
Vフォー・ヴェンデッタ？
ゾロ
ジザスクライスト？

いいえ、ゾンビサムです！

Alessio Nero Argento, who did a great job on the Princess Ghibli albums, also lives around Turin,
so he invited us to his studio. ZOMBIE SAM composed and recorded the guitars of a song on the spot.
Talk about professionals.

プリンセスジブリに参加したAlessio Nero Argentoもトリノの周りに住んでるから、彼のスタジオにお邪魔しました。ZOMBIE SAMは新曲のギターを３０分の中で考えて１回で全部とった。さすがプロの人ですね！



Here with Ivan and Alessio.

After years of working together, I finally got to meet Ettore and Mike at Coroner Records' headquarters!
We talked about many things, past, present and future!

The towns around Turin are incredibly humid, so my hair was frizzy like hell, but oh well

結構前から一緒に仕事をしてるのに、今週はやっと会えました！コロナーレコードの事務所でEttoreとMikeを会いにいきました！昔と今と将来の色々を話しました　

トリノの周りの町は湿度は凄くて、髪の毛は超飛んでた　笑　まああ。。。

Phase 1:


Phase 2:




Ettore's expression: priceless XDDD

Thanks a lot, guys!
See you again!

Ettoreの表現は。。。ｗｗｗｗ

皆ありがとうね！
また今度は！

"There's one sad truth in life I've found while journeying east and west. The only folks we really wound are those we love the best. We flatter those we scarcely know. We please the fleeting guest. And deal full many a thoughtless blow to those who love us best." - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

After a long trip yesterday, I'm finally in Turin.
The guys took me to an awesome pizzeria for dinner.
Italians in their natural environment

昨日のたびは長い時間待っていたけど、やっとトリノに着きました。
着いた後、ピザを食べに行った。
イタリア人の自然環境だね　笑
