Music 2.

I believe I love music. Since I am busy, I have taken only a fraction of the time with guitar and music. But I would love to play and listen music again. So, I decided to write little about music.

I am a not good player though, I used to think how I can play the guitar better. And I wanted people to be good player, which makes me frustrate so much. But playing instruments well should not be first priority. In Japanese, music is 音楽. 音 means sounds, 楽 means enjoy.  And I always thought, since I am not good at playing, so I have no right to say something about music. That must be wrong. I can understand now. Tell me your music life when we meet also.

I will write music I like. Here are my favorite musicians I revised from the previous post.

1. Japanese female vocalist, artist

Mika Nakashima, YUKI, Kana Uemura, bird, orange pekoe, dorlis, Klambon(I don’t know English name), Shina Ringo, Perfume, Tokyo Jihen.

2. Japanese male vocalist, pianist, band.

KUMAMI, Hirotaka Mori, Kazumasa Oda, Blanky Jet city, hide, Scoobie Do, Theater Brook, Suga Shikao, Motohiro Hata, HIrotaka Mori, Fumido, Porn graphity, Eikichi Yazawa, Tokyo Ska paradise Orchestra, Cool Drive makers, Fumido.

Today, I also will recommend Eikichi Yazawa ’Tomaranai ha-ha (We cant stop)’ 　He is pioneer of rock music scene in Japan. He may be around 60 years old. I am happy to hear his strong voice. His play reminds me that we can play music as long as our life would last.
