26 February diary.

28th

The business trip from Sendai to Okinawa had begun. When we arrived at Sendai Station, Akino noticed that she had forgotten her cellphone on the Shinkansen. The setup time was delayed due to some issues. However, the show went off without a hitch, so we were able to change our Shinkansen reservation  to an earlier train than scheduled. I stayed at a hostel near Otorii. 

27th

This morning, When I left home, I realized my bicycle was missing. I then remembered that the day before, I had ridden my bike to Noborito Station but had forgotten it there and walked home from Nakanoshima Station. I unpacked and put away the gear from yesterday's show, then packed and loaded the gear for tomorrow’s show onto the transport truck.

This morning, I used a bike-share service to get to the venue. I arrived there earlier than I had planed, so I rode the bike around Kabuki-cho. I thought that I hadn't visited there for many years. Kinoshita told me a rumor yesterday, I had been thinking about it, so I shared my conclusion with her.

25th

I went to Shinjuku to set up the gear for a traveling music TV show. It was much busier than usual on the way there, and it took about two hours to get there. It was my first time at the venue. Kinoshita and I had a late lunch and grabbed some ramen nearby.

Early in the morning, my wife and son headed to Morioka to use the JR East one-day unlimited pass.
