Dreamboyのジャパンツアーダイアリー！！

Day 5 – Saturday 7/6

We got to Nagoya early morning and immediately went to sleep. Again on tatami, which I realized was a bit harder than my bed back home. But I also realized it was really good for my back, so now I’m looking for a tatami rug here in Stockholm! We bought lots of bottles of green tea at Lawson’s or the vending machines on the street – good stuff. We walked around in Nagoya a lot and bought some clothes and Richard bought a pair of new sneakers. Again, we had some sushi and sashimi – and of course with gari. So good! The venue in Nagoya was really small, so we decided to really make the audience part of the show and to give them something to remember. Some in the band think this was the best show of the whole tour. We played three encores! I learned how to say “Korega saigo no kyuku desu”, so that people would know when we were almost finished. After the show we had dinner with some of the other bands and also the people arranging the show, really nice. People said I looked like spider-man (Tobey McGuire), which I have heard back in Stockholm as well. I joked and said it was a secret – himitsu  After the dinner the other four guys in the band wanted to go to an afterparty to sing more karaoke, so they did. I was too tired so Koyo drove me home, so I could sleep.

Day 6 – Sunday 8/6

It was time to go to Osaka – a wonderful city. We walked around a lot with our translator there, his name was Rio. He was from Osaka, so he showed us the food called Takoyaki (is that the right way to spell it?), the fried octopus. Sooooo good! We had like 15 each of those...Then we met the people at the great store called Flake Records and signed some posters and stuff, they were also the ones arranging the show later that night. We played with several great bands that night as well. I learned how to say “Kite kurete arigato” and a few other words. The Osaka crowd was awesome, and we tried out a totally new song which people seemed to like! After the show we first did a radio interview and then had an afterparty at a restaurant with some of the other bands, the people from Flake Records, and many other great people. I think we had more food than we had ever had before in our lives. It was totally crazy, the food was so good we never stopped eating. It was really nice to sit down and talk to some of the other bands as well and hear about how often they rehearse, and stuff like that. A guy called Yusuke taught me some new Japanese words that I could use for the final show in Niigata...
