Great job!


Ahhh, I’m so tired. Today was the BeGood Cafe’s Earth Day event. It was
really great.

When I heard that there were such amazing environmental activists such as
C.W. Nicol, David Suzuki, and Shinichi sitting in a corner, I really didn’t
know what to do. I was worried at first. But then when I saw them for the
first time, I thought that their aura was really welcoming and affirmative.
Wrapped up in their energy, I felt that no matter what, they were the type of
people who could convey their thoughts to anyone. [1] Comparing myself to
tremendous people like Nicol, David, or Tsuji, I really feel just like a
child. Will amateurs who know so comparatively little about the environment
like myself understand, know, feel, and act? Will this wave spread? I thought
that this was really important. And for laymen, we also have our sense of
worth about life. Everyone can hear an important message, take it in, and
then share it…that would be great.

SHAG…the feeling was so good! We were really flying on stage. GoRo was
amazing. Everyone was moved. Mai was awesome. K-Ta and kenken are of course
amazing too. We were flying! Perhaps we’ve been looking for it since ancient
times – the true origins of music, its reason for being, the beat of the
earth, the pleasure of a matchless groove. We weren’t quite able to play
(fly) like sAk thought we would…(sad laugh). TOOWA2 the VJ also came. He’s
really cool. Drawing us (guiding us) into his image, he lead our jam into
places it was meant to go. It was a great collaboration of image and music.
SHAG is growing more and more spiritual, more primitive…I really feel that.

In the future, I want to become a band that people can dance to. I want to
play in a packed club.

My neck is really hurting.

In any case, thanks so much to all of you who came. Let’s rock out on the
24th also! I’m a really cheerful guy, aren’t I? And absolutely go to the
world fair! It was so much fun! There are so many new things to learn. Seeing
all these different cultures was really cool. And the tempeh burger was
really delicious………ah, so tired.

Good night.
