Akemashite omedetou!



a walk down memory lane of sorts, but Christmas and New Years always seems to remind me of a time when I was in Japan, living in my favorite city, Kunitachi. It was a place where I lived for a few years after moving to the Tokyo area from Kyushu. I had originally wanted to move to Chiba, close by to where I used to live when I worked at Tokyo Disneyland. . . but by some fluke, and a tip at a festival we had just been to in the Shizuoka area, Western Tokyo seemed like a place to be, an area far away from the hustle and bustle of Shibuya and Harajuku...

 there I met some amazing musicians and friends whom I always think of 
at this time of year.

Happy New Year to friends and family 
around the world!

We awaken from the stupor.

Let it rain, man
let it come

a herd of elephants with weights tied around feet with flimsy string

bring us to shins 
and body parts only thought about when time comes

shove with love

live me in jazz notes I might never have heard
not for 
a time
only 
to be true 
not to me
or a company

burnt pizza nights 
homemade hours 
KO
KO
RO
