  • 水泳 Swimming

    Saturday, Oct 31, 2009 2:01AM / Members only

    皆さん、こんにちは。

    友人である、Matt 青木さんの映画「忍者コリン」の撮影が終わりました。
    これは、かなりアクの強いコメディーに仕上がると思います。
    お涙頂戴映画ですね。(ほんとかいな・・・)

    2週間前には、実はSEGAからでる新作のゲームの実況の声を担当しました。
    これも、かなりなキャラクターですので、ご期待ください。

    という近況報告と、毎週金曜日は水泳の日なのです。
    小さい時、水泳教室に行っていて、大人用の50Mプールに水に慣れるためと投げられて以来、水泳はあまり好きではなかったのですが20歳ぐらいの時からその投げられる以前の水泳の楽しい部分を思い出し、今は行けるだけ泳ぎに行くようにしています。
    ということで、
    プールの写真がないので、水泳にちなんでサルディニア島の海の写真をお楽しみください。


    それでは、

    Hello everyone,

    I just finished shooting my friend Matt Aoki-san's film "Colin the Ninja".
    It will be very diverse and strong comedy film.
    And also it is very emotional too (Surely....???)

    And I did the commentator part in the new SEGA game.
    This is also such a character, so please check it out.

    Well, they are kinda my latest news.
    Oh, I go to swimming every Friday. I used to go to swimming class. But since I was thrown into big swimming pool to adjust to the water... I started to hate swimming.
    But I re-found the joy of swimming when I was 20, and since then I have tried to swim as many times as I can.
    and I don't have the photo of swimming pool.
    So enjoy the photo of sea water from Sardinia island. It is very relaxing.

    Bye for now.

  • 青い空の下 Under the blue sky...

    Monday, Oct 12, 2009 7:39PM / Members only

    皆さんお久しぶりです、

    先週の土曜日に、KensingtonにあるSerpentin Galleryに行ってきました。
    というのも、日本人の建築家である妹島和世さんと西沢立衛さんのSANAAがお目当てでありました。
    ずーと行かなくては行かなくてはと思いつつ、
    ロンドンの東に住んでる僕は、
    なかなか重い腰が上がらずじまいでしたが、
    10月18日までということで、一生懸命自転車のペダルをこぎ行ってまいりました。

    いや、ロンドン急に寒くなってきましたが、
    本当に土曜日は完全な秋晴れ。

    青空がこの鏡のような表面に写ってなかなか情緒があるなー、と一人で思う僕でした。
    抹茶とか飲みたかったなー。

    芸術、そして読書、運動の秋が来ましたね。

    それでは、
    この辺で。

    K....


    Hi Everyone!

    I went the Serpentin Gallery on Saturday last week.
    This was because I had wanted to see Kazuyo Sejima&Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA for long time.

    I knew it quite long time ago, and was thinking to go to see this art work all the time.
    but it never happened as I live in East London and it is quite a way.....

    But on Saturday, as 18th October is the last day, I got my determination gathered to go to pedal my bicycle to reach there.

    London is getting into autumn, but the weather was perfect and brilliant blue sky.

    This blue sky reflected on the surface of the art work.
    It was very emotional in a way.
    I just thought of having JAPANESE MATCHA GREEN TEA...

    The season of art, reading and sports came!

    Bye for now.

    K.....

  • It may be the last nice day in late summer in London....

    KONNICHIWA everyone,

    The weather yesterday was absolutely brilliant and very mild temprature in London.

    It reminds me of sports day in school in Japan.

    I wish London weather will be everyday like this.....

    Just wishing.

  • Penzance

    Monday, Aug 10, 2009 8:47PM / Members only

    Hello Everyone,

    I just came back from Penzance in Cornwall.
    It is the last stop of train line in South-West England.
    This is a very pretty town, and I would say its always great to be near the sea.
    It is very great side of Englnad, and it seems to me some other country.
    Please have a look some pictures.

    From London it takes 5 hours by train, yes it is quite a way...

    There is a very exciting view of "St Michael's Mount" you can see.
    When the tide is low you can see the stone path towards there, and walk to reach.
    It reminds me of Hayao Miyazaki's "Tenku no shiro Rapyuta".

    And you can go to Lands End from Penzance too.
    Its view is amazing and very remoted place.

    And, of course you have to try cornish ice cream, and cornish pie and cornish cream tea and so on...

    I strongly recommned this area to explore.
    Cycling is great idea too.

    Jya!

  • 映画撮影とピアノレッスン FILM shooting and Piano lessons

    Tuesday, Jul 14, 2009 7:19PM / Members only

    皆さん、お元気でしょうか?

    先週、先々週の2週間、友人でもある映画監督の作品「Super Tramp」の撮影に入っていました。彼の作品に参加するのはこれが3度目です。
    かなりいい作品になるのではと思います。出演者の多くが何らかの格闘技に携わっているCASTでのアクションシーンの数々はヤバイぐらい、本気モード全快でした。
    できあがりが楽しみです。

    さてもう一つのニュースは、ピアノを教える事にしました。
    初心者もしくは、子供対象です。というのも、坂の上の雲で共演させていただいた西田さんのヒット曲「もしもピアノが弾けたなら」にちなんで、そうのように思っている人の夢を叶えたいというのが僕の望みです。(西田さん夢は受け継ぎがんばります。)
    でっ、もしロンドン東部で、ピアノを始めたい人がいたら是非連絡してください。
    熱心に教えて差し上げます。

    もうひとつ!
    今、バイオリン奏者、チェロ奏者、ヴィオラ奏者を探しています。
    いろいろ、メールとかを頂いて、誰と組んだら良いのやら.....と考えたりもしますが、
    セッションをしていく中で、自然と愛称があるので形が決まっていくと思っています。
    今後、僕の作曲した曲をライブでやっていこうと思っています。
    徐々にではありますが、もう少ししたら、ライブで皆さんにお届けできると思いますので、楽しみにしていてください。

    それでは、この辺で。

    K......

    How are you everyone?

    In the last 2 week, I was involved in the shooting of my director friend Philippe Leone's film "Super Tramp". This is 3rd time to work with him. I am sure that it is going to be a great film! I felt that in the location. Most of cast member do some martial arts, and the action scene especially was brilliantly choreographed. It looked so real! I look forward to seeing the final cut.

    One more news, I decided to teach piano finally.
    I am teaching to beginners and children.
    I worked with Toshiyuki Nishida in SAKA NO UE NO KUMO, and his hit song "If I can play the piano" (It was 70's) led me to this point to teach piano. I believe there are a lot of people want to play. And I want help them and their dream comes true! If you or someone you know live in east London want to learn piano, please give me a shout.

    One last thing, I started looking for Violinist, chellist or violaist.
    I received some response from musicians so far, and struggling to decide who I will work with...
    but I believe it will decide naturaly in the session.
    I am planning to have live gig to play my composed music.
    So, please wait for completion of collabrating with new musicians.


    Hope all are well.
    bye for now.

    さっそくにお答えいただき有難うございます。で グチっぽいのは男性ですか(..?) イギリスのコメディドラマが結構好きなんですが映画化されそうでされない「レッドドワーフ」のリマーが典型的なイギリス人?という話をどっかで読んだことがあります。
    その昔、NHKにしては英断の放送(といっても真夜中であった)だったらしいです。
