Goodbye David Bowie

Goodbye, David Bowie….

You were the very first that made me crazy about one rock star and not just one song…

You were the first one that made me understand what “music makes me high” meant…

You were the one that made me hate my dark and wavy hair: I wanted to have straight blonde hair so I could make it orange…

Because of you, I stayed indoors and never got a suntan in my entire life; that is why at nearly 60 today, I have no wrinkles.

You were also the one who showed me that it was OK not to be the most popular boy in school and to be different and to be myself. ……..

For many years, David Bowie made me laugh and scream and sing and dream… Yesterday, for the first time in a long time, he made me remember how to cry again.

David Bowie, I love you.

You changed my life.

I will never forget.

A Japanese Rock ‘n’ Roll Ghost Story

 

いよいよ制作に突入しますが、その辺の制作秘話もこちらのブログで逐一漏洩報告しますので、お楽しみに!

 

ェさて、今回のキャンペーンにおいてはSNSや当ブログなど、ネットのツールをフル活用してなるべく多くの方々に僕たちのプロジェクトを知って頂こうと寝る間も惜しんで頑張りましたが、その節はご迷惑もおかけしました。お付き合い頂いて誠に痛み入ります!

実は先日、その副産物とも言える面白い事に気付きました。

Top 3 Videos for Sept. 11, 2015! Texaco Leatherman, The Atom Age, Blonde Summer, the Routes!

Once again time for the Top 3 Videos… The Top 3 Indies artists videos sent straight to you from Tokyo, Japan! We have some hot rock n roll for you today!

First up today is a band heartily recommended by my friend Bee Bee Clarke. Bee Bee has his ear to the wall in the Tokyo music scene and knows his stuff. He writes, “Texaco Leatherman … take what’s expected and fuck it silly before the audience.” Yeah. These guys are scary, like the Cramps!

#3) Texaco Leatherman – Jason Bill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TANyiBZ9mas

At #2 today is a band that’s been getting lots of airplay on the radio show, The Atom Age. Their webpage says, “The Atom Age find their inspiration from the dust covered collections of unhinged 60’s punk and R&B, whose crazed energy was once misconceived as a better fit for your trashcan than for your turntable.”

#2) The Atom Age – Wasteoid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFRCUoK-gkw

At this week’s #1 is Los Angeles Indie rockers, Blonde Summer. Rodney on the Roq has been playing them a lot, so what’s good enough for Rodney is usually good enough for me!

#1) Blonde Summer // “High Times”

BONUS TRACK!

Quick question: When was the last time you heard of Kyushu?

“What is a Kyushu?” is an entirely acceptable response.

Kyushu is Japan’s southernmost large island. Its largest city is Fukuoka. There seems to be something going on down there as we have been playing a lot of bands from that area. Namely, last week we had Titty Twister, and this week we have a band that I think is fucking awesome, The Routes! The Routes are down in Kyushu but they’ve been getting lots of airplay and attention in Europe and on my Sunday show. If you liked the Pebbles or Nuggets album series, you are gonna dig this!

BONUS TRACK! The Routes – Day and Night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWOoOL1T9ZA

神田祭のお写真第弐弾! / More photos from Kanda Festival 2015

人類の皆様こにゃにゃちわ、ROBOT55(ロボット・ゴー・ゴー)です!

Hullo, my dear human species! I is ROBOT55!

 

先日神田祭のお写真をこちらのブログで紹介させて頂きました!

We shared some fantastic pics from Kanda Festival, one of 3 great Shinto festivals of Japan, here last week.

 

予想外の大反響にお答えして、先週の神田祭より更に素敵なお写真をアップ致します〜♬

Due to insistent public demand, we decided to upload more photos from Kanda Festival for your viewing pleasure! Continue Reading…

神田祭に行ってきたよ! / Kanda Festival 2015

人類の皆様こにゃにゃちわ、ROBOT55(ロボット・ゴー・ゴー)です!

Hullo, my dear human species! I is ROBOT55!

 

先週末、山王祭、深川祭と並んで江戸三大祭、或いは京都祇園祭、大阪天神祭と並んで日本三大祭に数えられている神田祭に行ってきました!

Last weekend, I joined what is considered to be one of the three great Shinto festivals of Tokyo, along with the Fukagawa Matsuri and Sanno Matsuri, or some might even say one of the three great Shinto festivals of Japan, along with Gion Matsuri in Kyoto and Tenjin Matsuri in Osaka, the Kanda Matsuri!

ROBOT55_Kanda_Matsuri_1

関ヶ原の合戦の戦勝祈祷から始まったとされるこの祭の熱気は400年以上経った21世紀 の今日も健在しております!

Started as a prayer for victory in the battle of Sekigahara, the decisive battle that changed the course of Japan’s destiny in 1600, Kanda Matsuri’s energy is still as present as ever after 400 years!

老いも若きも神田祭を楽しんでおりました。祭って本当に良いですね〜♬

Matsuri is fun for both young and old, girls & boys – kind of rare for what is essentially a religious ceremony!

神田明神における宮入りと並んで圧巻なのはハイテク家電が並ぶオタクの聖地、秋葉原電気街を練り歩く古風な祭行列のコントラスト。現代日本の文化スペクトラムの両極が見事に共存する絵面です。

Besides miyairi, the ritual to return the demi-god from mikoshi, the small mobile shrine, to the main Kanda shrine,  the most spectacle part of Kanda matsuri is when centuries-old mikoshis march through the street of Akiabara, the world-famous post-modern electric/electronic town as well as the otaku-pop-culture’s major breeding ground – nothing sums up the both ends of Japan’s cultural spectrum better.

ROBOT55_Kanda_Matsuri_9

お祭りは我々の住んでいるほぼ全ての地域で催されております。地下足袋(最近はエアー足袋なる便利なものもありますが)と法被を羽織って神輿を担いでみると結構楽しいですよ!皆で汗をかいて、ビール飲んで、大声出して!一生忘れられない経験、っていうかクセになるかもしれません♬

Matsuri is held everywhere in Japan between late spring and late Autumn. As it is fundamentally a Shinto ceremony to thank Gods for harvest, Autumn being the most popular time. Kanda matsuri is a major tourist-attraction for both local and international tourists. However, it’s even more fun to participate and carry the little mobile shrine yourself. People are usually very friendly and often provide you with free booze! Can be the experience of a lifetime!

Science Fiction! Japanese Concept Car Videos 2! 日本のコンセプトカービデオpt. 2!

There was a great reaction to the Japanese Concept Car Videos (part 1). Thanks. As I promised, I’d make a part two.

These are cool cars designed by engineers for all the big Japanese car manufacturers through the years that have never made it into production. I think you might agree that these are the coolest designs. Here are a few more selected videos from the wild and crazy, Science Fiction universe of Japanese concept cars.

Since the 1950s, all the big Japanese car manufacturers have been testing and designing cars that, if you saw them on the road, you’d think that it was something out of a Hollywood science fiction movie! Some of these designs are so fab that they are out of this world!

I’ve searched the internet and found some short videos of a few of my favorites. So if you like Science Fiction, and you like cars! Then this is a short trip for you!

【お詫び】昨夜はお騒がせしてまことにすみません…

Old VHS Video Tapes Becoming Expensive Collector’s Items! Do You Have Any of These Tapes?

Good News and Bad News!

Good news first!

Remember those old VHS video tapes that everybody had back in the eighties?  Well, now some of those old VHS video tapes might be worth a bunch of money! That’s right! Some VHS tapes have now become valuable and collectable antiques selling for several thousand dollars!

What’s the Bad News?

The Bad News is that you or your mom or wife, or dumb boyfriend, dumped boxes of them into the garbage years ago… And you said, “OK!”

Arrrrrgggghhhhh!

Now, antique and collectable professionals and experts say that those VHS tapes are joining the ranks of vinyl records as valuable and rare collectibles and some of them have been getting sold for over ¥1,230,000! (That’s over $10,000 (USD)).

Arrrrrrgggghhhh! Again!

As the years went by and DVD’s became popular, VHS tapes have disappeared from the average household. Add to that the big retail chains going bankrupt and you have a massive amount of VHS tapes being dumped and ruined in land fills.

But VHS cassettes and boxes that are still in good shape can demand high prices. They have been gone and out of our existence for just long enough to inspire nostalgia.

David Jinks, a famous international collector of goods and antiques, said: ‘It’s time to learn the lesson of vinyl. Many old LPs and singles are now worth huge amounts of money.”

I once saw David Bowie’s “Man Who Sold the World” (The Orange Jacket) selling for over ¥4 million yen (That’s about $40,000 (USD)) at a store in Shinjuku! Today, some VHS video tapes are considered just as collectable as original records.

Even now, sometimes you can see piles of old VHS tapes being thrown out. There are probably few items more unwanted at the moment than old VHS video tapes. Many people probably have a boxful in the basement and they, of course, don’t have a working VHS machine (who does?)

Did you know that charity stores like Goodwill or Salvation Army and other second hand stores won’t even take the VHS tapes and machines for free? because nobody wants them!

But it is because they are being thrown out in the trash that they have become valuable.

Uh, you wouldn’t, by any chance have any old Betamax tapes or a Betamax player, would you?

They definitely will become expensive collectables in the future too… The question is, “Where we going to store all this stuff?”
