SOMETIMEへ

お昼、レッスン１人
とても素敵なジャズを歌う女の子
私は彼女の歌が好きだ
大活躍して、人気者になって欲しい

I gave a private lesson to a young student.
She sings very good. I like her singing.
I hope she will become popular.




百合を見て、叔父を想い出した。
私には何人も叔父がいるけど
その叔父は、可愛くおっちょこちょい。

赤く咲くのは百合の花～～～って歌っちゃう
（そりゃ、赤っぽい種類の百合もあるけどさ）
でも、そう歌っちゃったら、次どうするのさ？
し～～ろく咲くのは、百合の花～～～って、
そこで始めて「あ！間違えた」って気付くの

その叔父は、
黄色いさくらんぼ、の歌を
「あ、黄色い、赤とんぼ～～」って歌っちゃうの

可愛い

This beautiful white lily reminded me of one of
my uncles. I have many uncles and he is the
cutest and funniest of all.

He sang an old popular Enka song
"Yume wa yoru hiraku" like this

"Akaku sakunowa yuri no hana"
(literally lilies are red)
but it is a big mistake,
because some lilies are red,
but the real lyrics go like
"Akaku sakunowa keshi no hana".
(literally poppies are red)

but he never noticed that
and kept on singing

"Shiroku sakunowa yuri no hana"
(literally lilies are white.)
This is correct.

He never noticed that he was singing wrong lyrics
he made up until he sang next phrase
"shiroku saku nowa yuri nohana".

so Funny.

This funny and cute uncle also sang
"kiiroi Akatonbo".
(red-dragon fly is yellow)

ha ha ha.

He must sing as
"kiiroi sakuranbo".
(these cherries are yellow,
which means someone
very young and unsophisticated)

ha ha ha.


帰り道、獣医さんに寄って
ピピンのフードを一袋購入

On the way back from the lesson,
I went to see the vet and bought
a bag of cat food for Pippin.

途中に咲いてた可愛い花

pretty flowers I found on the way.





夜は、後輩シンガーの河野美紀ちゃんのライブを
聴きに吉祥寺のSOMETIMEへ

At night
I went to see my Kohai (younger ) friend
Miki Kawano's concert at Sometime, Kichijoji

ピアノはユキさんで
サックスが鈴木央紹くん


Yuki at the piano
and Hisatsugu-kun on saxophone


座って誰かの演奏を聴くのは
変な感じ

It felt very strange to sit and listen to
someone performing.


もう１人の後輩シンガーの黒澤綾ちゃんも
来て、一緒に見たよ

Another Kohai singer Aya Kurosawa showed up
and we enjoyed the music together.

スペアリブ

spareribs

ほうれん草とベーコンのサラダ

spinach and bacon salad


In the second set, Miki introduced me to the
audience and we had a great time jamming together.
yeah.
