I’m writing this on Monday, the 24th, a day of my gig with Tadataka at NB. This blog is cross-posted to both Mixi and Facebook (if you have noticed). Mixi updates my entry promptly, but Facebook takes longer to reflect in “Notes” (lately it takes about 2 full days – used to be quicker – wonder why!?) If this is something foreign to you, I apologize. I am just talking to myself about few tricks to cross-post this blog to other Social Media sites without making multiple cut & paste. Anyhow, I decided to talk’bout Thursday because of the reason above. So… Before I get into… I should write proactively “It was a great night at NB on “last” Monday with Tadataka, and thank you so much for people who came out and support the music!” – it will be, and I assure you!
So. Ever since I have uploaded the video clip (with motion sickness advised) of “night and day,” visitor numbers are extremely higher than normal and I am somehow pleased and at the same time worried. The pleasure is, of course, that I found many people accessed and watched us playing. The worry is that is backed by some curiosity of how people thought of it. (I know the people who were there on the day we performed liked it, but I have no idea particularly of the people in far east (wink, wink!). Maybe this isn’t a style they often see or expect to be seen, blah, blah, blah… that kinda stuff.) Despite the fact I received no reaction so far, I am most likely going to upload at least few tracks – one ballad later in the week as early as Wednesday night in my time (EDT). Stay tuned!
ANYHOW! On this coming Thursday, Toru’s back in the lounge. (YES!) Although the weather forecast says Thursday is going to be a bit stormy (really? NO, please say NO!), but the lounge will keep you dry from the rain ð Please come by and hang with us.
Thursday, May 27
from 7:30 to 11 PM
NB Lounge
111 E56th Street
bet. Park and Lexington at the Lombardy
Mamiko Taira (vocal)
Toru Dodo (piano)
No Cover, No Minimum
On May 31, we will take a break. There is no performance on Monday, Memorial Day. The lounge is open, but no performance. Please come back on Thursday, June 3rd!
Speaking of June, here is the June Calendar. June’s notable, so far, is definitely “Miles’ Cafe” on Saturday, the 26th. Toru and I are slowly, but surely building up Japanese song repertoire (haha!). I think we will do quite some number of Japanese songs at the 2nd set of the evening. The sound is totally “us” and I am positive that you will enjoy it. Please mark your calendar!
