Life In Lotus Land IV: Tsukue to tabemono to Okegawa
In order: my desk at the school where I worked (note the bottle of Pocari Sweat), a typical school lunch (bagged udon, processed squid-rolls, milk) and a bizarre building in my neighbourhood in Okegawa (Saitama Prefecture, just outside of Tokyo).
Just take a second and look at that last picture: what the hell is that structure on top of the building with the stairs leading to it? It can’t be an elevator mechanical room -that building is only a few stories tall, and I don’t think it had an elevator. Did someone live up there? If so, awesome apartment.
Anyways, here are some more sugary-sweet J-tunes from Pizzicato Five. I don’t actually think they are all that popular in Japan, but have a listen anyways.
Pizzicato Five - Nonstop To Tokyo
Pizzicato Five - It’s A Beautiful Day
And as a bonus:
SUITE CHIC - Good Life feat. FirstKlas
You gotta respect the amount of neon green on Pizzicato Five’s Myspace page
It was in the range of end of December 2009 and early of January 2010. As far as we know, Google will update PR occasionally for every 3 months. So will be expecting new updates on March - April 2010.
