Niigata is one of my favourite places to play.
First because the fans are super enthusiastic, second because the RIVERST super-staff is ever sublime, third because Niigata food is great and fourth because the DJ always plays Greece's national anthem before I go onstage. What a great honour, isn't it!
This was another kickass show!
LIGHT BRINGER also appeared on the same night.
The guys are also nice fellas so we had a good laugh during the afterparty.
The person holding the traditional...raccoon statue (!) is Katou san, of Club RIVERST. He's hardcore beyond description! You can also see the boys of LIGHT BRINGER, a bit of the RIVERST DJ to the far right upper corner, RYO, G.S.R and RYU's hand...being silly XD
I stayed in Niigata for one night, while everybody else returned to Osaka.
I had a good night's sleep and the next day I did a bit of sight-seeing.
Here's the view from Niigata Messe:
Just outside Messe, I met a really kind lady, who showed me the way (in perfect English, since she was an English teacher) and who had spent her honeymoon in Greece. How cool and rare is that??!
I wish I could stay longer in Niigata, because it looks like a good city to hang out at night.
In the train I met a sweet lady, who was travelling with her cute, talking mini-parrot and her cute, little plant. She looked like a sensitive creature and she explained to me the differences of male and female talking parrots of the specific breed and also some secrets about teaching parrots how to speak.
Man, I always get to meet the most special people!
Can I have more miraculous, positive people in my life right NOW?
