Dag 124: Yesterday was dramatic, today is ok

No....nothing wrong here. It is the beautifull title of one of my favorite albums of the islandic band Mum. I should have had a local dish "hitsumabushi" (an eel dish) with one of my favorite acts from Japan Lullatone. But i ended up with having dinner with band Mum instead.

Anyone tried to ring me lately? You will get a Lullatone song on my voicemail. Their music made me smile a lot this year. Lullatone describes their music as cute minimalism. For me it sounds like the perferct soundtrack of the Hello Kitty world. So when i flew back to Japan i was getting in their hometome: Nagoya (the 4th biggest city in Japan) and because they love food too, plans for dinner were easily made. But as it happens, plans were canceled because they got foodpoisoning (the dangers of loving food and want to try everything, i think).

Luckily the islandic band Mum was performing in Nagoya at the Quattro club. Quattro is a chain of venues located in Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya and Tokyo. And how convieniant they are located on top of a shopping mall. So you can combine Japans favorite hobby: shopping, with going out. Never in the world will you get a better dressed audience as in Japan. And no wonder there are more women in the audience then men. At 20:30 the gig is finished, so you still have half an hour to get a new wardrobe. The band felt sorry for me that i missed dinner and i could join them. The Hitsumibashi have to wait untill i am back in Japan next time.

So now you have a reason that you should visit Japan again, the eel dish ;-)
