Last night I was in Osaka to see No Age and Telepathe. It's not a good time to go there because most people wear a mask prevent themselves from swine flu, which means you might get sick by horrible flu. But I don't care, so didn't wear any masks.

This is the second Japan tour for No Age, the first was two years ago instead of Hella and Marnie Stern's cancelled shows. There were not many people but they could know who No Age was. Then No Age has become more popular around the world excluding Japan. They might have been worried whether lots of people came, but, actually there were more than the last time. It was an amazing show last night and it might be the last time for me to see them for a while. It's too bad.

Anyways, after the show Dean and Melissa and Busy, both from Telepathe, went to karaoke, of course, I followed them. We sang some songs together, Prince, Ramones, Culture Club, Nirvana, Weezer, Bay City Rollers, etc. It was really fun and I wish the time stopped forever.

Tonight No Age and Telepathe are going to play in Tokyo with Nisennenmondai, one of my favorites in Japan, should be exciting. If you have no plan tonight, you HAVE TO go there seeing them.
