Hi there,
I'm in Tokyo now. I had a gig in Fairbanks, Alaska last week, then spent a couple days with my dear daughter in NY, and then flew here.
I'd like to report to you that I saw U2 in NYC the other day. They were shooting a video for some TV show along 7th Ave. and around the Penn Station area. My daughter Miu and I were shopping in the area and bumped into them!!!! My oh my, they looked so coooool!! (despite not being interested in them very much, I was so excited !) Well, this is part of the privilege of being a of New Yorker I think, ha ha.


I just started rehearsing for this year's Satogaeru concert tour.
All of the Quruli guys are so nice and fun. Lots of laughs and smiles and of course, seriousness.
If you are a music fan who lives outside of Japan, it might be a little hard to get their CDs. However, I believe it's simply worth it to make an effort to get it.


You are going to hear more news from me next week.
Please wait with great expectations.
best,
Akiko
