the sleeve

This CD is new album of "Strawberry Goat".
The band's vocalist is my old friend.
So I provided my work for them to the sleeve.
If I recall that the previous album was the same....they used my work, I guess.

I take encouragement the fact that Maiko--the vocalist-- has been belting out since school. Now she is a vocalist, wife and a mother. I understand how difficult it.

I was so glad that Maiko said that she was encouraged by my works, because I am a wife and a mother, and yet I have been taking photos.

....wow.

Our old friends gathered at her previous concert. It was as if a reunion.

After the concert, we drank and talked for hours and hours....until midnight.

Spring is come

High temperatures will be 20 degrees in Nagoya today.

I went to the nearby park to see plum blossoms.

They are blooming beautifully.

The wonderful smell of plum blossoms covers around there.

a nightly walk alone

Recently I went to Osu "ell.size"--the place with live music-- for
seeing my friend's concert.

It starts at 9:00pm.

I arrived with time to spare, so I wander around Sakae for an hour or
more.

I went to my favorite place. Oasis 21.
There are cafe, shops and wonderful night view.

And, that night, there weren't so many people ever though Saturday
night.
So, I could relax and enjoy the walk.

Amazake

Now spring is almost here, Nagoya.

It's almost off-season of "amazake".

I love amazake. Amazake is a alcohol-free drink made from rice, suger
and malted rice. It's sweet and is common to warm.

Aromatherapy

Today, I went off for a Teatree oil.

Use it for aromatherapy.

Teatree oil is known to be beneficial for cold prevention, for a change, for prevention of infectious disease, and so on.

An old stationery store

The store in front of my daughter's elementary school.

I don't know this store's name.
And I don't know exactly how many years, but I 'm sure it has been
around for at least 30 years.

As its appearance, the interior is so retro-flavored. I just feel like
I'm time-trip in early childhood.
But naturally, the store sells modern stasionery --notebooks, erasers,
pencils and so on--.
So I was little confused.
