Just want to say THANK YOU again for all the amazing birthday wishes and excitement about fade's new album 「天～TEN」！！！ Could not ask for a better #fadefamily!!
改めて沢山の誕生日メッセージとfadeのnew album「天～TEN」についての熱いコメント本当にありがとう！！ #fadefamilyは最高だよ！！
Got a lot of questions on my twitter about whether or not I got some of the presents that people sent from overseas, and whether or not I had birthday cake.
The answer to both is YES!!!! EVERYTHING you guys sent my way put a HUGE smile on my face :)))))))
And the 2 hand made cakes that some of my friends made me were dangerously delicious!!
Twitterの方で「ケーキもらったか」って質問結構あったんだけど、答えはYES!!!
友達の手作りって危ないくらいうまかったぞ～！！

and a strawberry chocolate mousse masterpiece with my Japanese "nephew"
そして、オレのジャパニーズいとこに近い存在である子とイチゴチョコレートムースを
Also want to give a BIG SHOUT out to Red Monkey for this KILLER watch!!
最後にレッドモンキーさんにありがとう！！
この腕時計もらって、カナリ気にいてる！！
Has anyone ever heard of this company?
They're based out of Los Angeles and have been in Japan now for over 10 years.
Talked with the rep. about a fade-Red Monkey collaboration in the near future before our show on 6/7.
Would be dope if that works out!! Keep your fingers crossed...
この会社聞いたことあるのかな？
元々ロスの会社で、日本では１０年以上活動中。
6/7のライブの前に会社の人とfade-Red Monkeyのコラボについて話して、
近々決まるといいんだよね！
Check out their HP when you have some time!
時間あったらHPでもチェックしてみな。 格好いいよ！
最近嬉しいことに野外ライブをよく見に行けてる！
特に今週の木曜の大阪の熱いライブがあったし！
結論を言うと。。。最近の最高な時間は音楽に大感謝です！！
I have to say that being able to go check out more outdoor shows lately has been AWESOME!
Especially after having a killer show down in Osaka on Thursday!
Thanks and praise to MUSIC for the all the great times of late!!
今日はお台場の方の旅祭 WORLD JOURNEY FESTA 2012 に遊びに行ってきた。
天気もヴァイブスも抜群によかった！
やっぱいろんなイベント行って、今、日本で頑張ってるバンドのライブを観たり、grooveしてるお客さんのエネルギーを自ら感じに行ったりするのは改めてリアルに楽しくて、大事だな～と思った。
夏が来たから音楽ラブの皆も時間作って、沢山ライブを観に行って一杯楽しんでくれ！！
Today I rolled out to the KOKUSAI WORLD JOURNEY FESTA 2012 near Odaiba.
And it was an afternoon and evening filled with beautiful weather and AWESOME energy!
I hit me like a ton of bricks again today about how fun and seriously important it is to go to a lot of events and shows, see the bands play that are really going for it in Japan right now, and feel the energy of the crowds grooving there.
I think it should be a high priority this summer for anybody out there who is into music - or just looking for a random new experience - to CHECK OUT TONS OF LIVE MUSIC THIS SUMMER!!
ex Ellegardenのギターボーカルの細美さんのソロアコスティクのライブも
ex Ellegarden's guitar/vocalist - Hosomi Takeshi's show was perfect in the afternoon
Deftechのライブも
Deftech's island vibe in the early evening
10-FEETのライブも

突然のサンバカーニバルも
And the sudden Samba Carnival at the end of the evening
これで６・２９からスタートする天～TENのリリースツアーもさらに楽しみになってきた！
It all just gets me even more pumped up for 天～TEN's RELEASE TOUR starting on 6/29!
アルバム天～TENのリリースも本当に目の前になってきたな。
今日の２４：００回ったら、後二日間ONLYだよ。
今回のアルバム本当に好きだから、色々な人に聞いて欲しい。
そして今年の夏はライブで沢山の新しいつながりを作りたい！！
I also can't believe that the RELEASE DAY for 天～TEN is so close.
After midnight tonight, there are only 2 DAYS LEFT!
I really love this album, and I hope that tons of people will hear it,
and come make a connection at a show this summer!
Talk to you guys again soon!
月曜頑張ってよ皆！！
Rip Monday a new one!! lol

Just got back from a stroll and listening to some "new" music I bought the other day. The album is 「Nothing's Shocking」 by Jane's Addiction (1991) . 最近買った"NEW MUSIC"を聞きながらまた散歩行ってきた。 アルバムは Jane's Addictionの「Nothing's Shocking」(1991年）
Here's some sweet youtube footage of "Mountain Song" - one of my total favorites - from a show in 97 if you want to check them out. Flea from the RHCP is on bass and it's BAD ASS! オレのTOP 3に入るJane'sの曲の「Mountain Song」の超格好いいライブ映像ど～ぞ～(97年)。しかも、レッチリのFleaがベース弾いてる。いいぞこれ！
Also found something VERY COOL at a 7-11 near my house on the walk: SLURPEES!!!!!!!! Had never seen them in Japan B4 today. Needless to say, the rest of the trip was delicious! lol そして、家の近くの7-11でカナリ嬉しい発見があった： SLURPEES!!!!!!!! 日本に来てから初めてみた。 うまかったぞ～！
