This is the announcement of the long-awaited lunch live event at KayGee's, a hideout cafe bar in Shinkawa that I introduced on my blog before.　

The live performance of this shop was always scheduled for night, so I can't go inside, and this time it's a lunch live with lunch, so I'm going to invite my friends to participate.　　

　

Ika Yamamura, who sings anything such as jazz, bossanova, pop, etc. Hiroki Shindo, who loves guitar, opens a guitar class alongside sessions, recordings, and live activities. I've heard these two live performances at a certain cafe in Marunouchi before, but I can spend a wonderful time with a truly comfortable acoustic sound that penetrates my body and relaxes my heart.　　

4,700 yen including tax (with lunch / one drink) is quite advantageous, and the maximum number of seats is up to 30 people, so it is just the right size.　

　

Details are as follows:

Date and time:　November Saturday, November 18, 2017 Lunch start 13:00/Start 14:00　

Fees:　4,700 yen including tax (music charge/lunch/with one drink)　

Inquiries and reservations:　KayGee's 03-5542-0335 (Sun/holiday holiday)

Yes, I have been waiting for this, Cafe Bar "Kaygee's" in Shinkawa is scheduling Lunch Time Acoustic Live Event. 　

Since this will be held during daytime with lunch, I am willing to go with my friend because almost every past live event were held at night which was difficult for me to join.　　　

　

Vocalist Itsuka Yamamura can really sing. Her repertories are Jazz, Bosa Nova, Pops, etc, she can sing almost anything. You just can't help feeling happy listening to Gutarist Hiroki Shido's performance since he is so much devoted to guitar. He is also a busy man doing session with artists, recording, his own live, and even guitar lesson class.　
I once saw their performance at cafe in Marunouchi. They enthralled everyone with their smooth acoustic sound, that soaked into everyones' body and soul, making everyone soft and relaxed.

Charge is JPY4,700 per person including tax, lunch and one drink which is quite reasonable. The place is cozy and pleasant with 30 seats which is just the right size for acoustic live performance.

I'm in reading week to get acquainted with books.

　

　The library of the city meets the needs of the people who live in the city.

Part of the multi-purpose open space in Tsukiji River Park is currently under construction.

In the vicinity of this square, white sardines are blooming.

If you write it in kanji, it is a tall grass, and the atmosphere changes.

It is a perennial plant of the family Asteraceae.

It is native to North America and becomes a naturalized plant (naturalized species) in Japan.

In addition to being designated as an invasive alien organism by the Alien Organisms Act, it has been selected as one of Japan's Invasive naturalized species's worst 100 by the Japan Society of Ecology.

The flowers bloom from October to November, with many small flowers on the whole shape, and horizontal branches with flowers spread.

The view from the top of Irifune Bridge

It's thriving like a competition between naturalized species's Seedaka Awadachisou and his rival native species's Japanese pampas grass.

 

 

On the 27th, one day after the October Kabuki performance Senakiraku, the “Katobushi Opening 300th Anniversary Concert” was held at Kabukiza Theater day and night.

　

"Kato-bushi" is known for the fact that when the Ichikawa Muneke performs Kabuki 18th "Sukeroku Enen Edo Sakura", the amateur husband "Kato-Setsu Goren" will always appear in the curtain. However, this format has been established since the middle of the Edo period when Danjuro, the second generation premiered "Sukeroku". It is an event commemorating the 300th anniversary of Kyoho 2 (1717) that the first generation Kato Masumi divided from Edo Joruri's Hantayubushi and founded independently. The first Kato Masumi was a child of Tenmaya, a fish merchant in Nihonbashi, who emerged under the Edo Hantayu Gate and became independent. (I was absorbed in Joruri and crushed the shop...)

　

At the commemorative party, there is a one-day performance, and the audience seats are full of beautiful sisters and actors' faces, and visitors are dressed in gorgeous visiting clothes. The day part opens with "Matsunouchi", which was performed when he became independent 300 years ago. After Ebizo of the Ichikawa Soke family, who has been closely connected to Kato-bushi since the Edo period, two children, Reika-chan and Shogen-kun's dance "Ebi", were applauded just by appearance. The worried face of the guardian Ebizo is smiling. And "Matsuno Kotobuki Sanbaso" is a luxurious version of Gohachi Yoshida, Okina Kikugoro, Chitose Kikunosuke, Sanbaso is Ebizo. At the end of the daytime section is Ebizo-san in the dance "Sukeroku Place En Edo Sakura". On the usual stage, it is spectacular that "Kato Setsu Goren", which is invisible from the audience inside the lattice of Miuraya in Yoshiwara, is lined up with nearly 70 people with black crests on the stage. If you look closely at the program, all the appearances in the daytime were women, and all the Joruri people in the evening were men. The masters of Nihonbashi and Ginza may be inside.

 

 

　

　Saturday, October 28 is a major milestone day of "1000 more days" until the Tokyo Olympics.

At the same time, "Welcome TOKYO Sports Park 2017" will be held at Shibakoen, Minato City and Tokyo Tower for two days, Saturday, October 28 and October 29 (Sun).

For two days from Friday, October 27 and October 28 (Sat), Tokyo Tower will light up the five colors of the Olympic Games under the Tokyo 2020 Certified Program "1000 Days Countdown Festa ~ Tokyo 2020". (Sunset ~ 23:00)

The Great observation deck is black, blue, black, green, red and yellow "Special Diamond Vere" 1000 days before the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

In the large observation deck area (on the east side and Shibakoen area only), the word "1000" is given 1,000 days ago.

From the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki, over the Tsukiji Market, the Olympic color shines in the night sky, increasing expectations for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, which gradually approaches.
