Renewal my blog and cartoon of The Who

2006-05-07T20:47:00.000+09:00

Almost completed renewal of my blog. I put my profile, too. That's why Lisa encouraged me to do.Thanks Lisa!! I happened on several parts of cartoon. The Who was THERE. Very interesting one, isn't it? Maybe it was issued in around 1999 . This is its rough rough outline, here you go♪

From left side　 John→ Keith→ Pete→ Roger
*Only John's dialouge is written in English."ME TOO!"lol.

The hero(a Japanese guy)'s girlfriend went to USA. Then she was killed by somebody. He went to USA all alone to take away the enmity of her who had been killed. He went to meet The Who at the dressing room in some venue after their gig was ended.They were drinking beer. He explained circumstances,asked for cooperation to them, and did the promise to pass them BIG AMOUNT OF CASH as a reward. Thanks to them, he could MAKE IT! (He could meet the very important person. They set a meeting between him(hero) and HIM(the very important person).They just told him "Good luck!" and send him off, without receiving reward.How cool they were....THE END.

John was presented this cartoon by Japanese fan when he went to Japan.I heard he liked it very much. Hope you like it...Thanks for stopping by.

I'm BACK from NYC

2006-02-22T00:12:00.000+09:00

I was living with snow in NYC. haha!! The pic was taken at Village, midnight.

I am MENTAL

2006-02-02T22:46:00.000+09:00

I wanna paint my heart green like above photo...IF I COULD.It was taken at Aster Place, East village in NYC.One of my favorite ptotos I have been taken so far.

Today even music went through myself and turn to NOISE, bad day..
No matter what happening to me tommorrow, I'll be here as usual. I should think life is not bad.

Tommy is going to NYC !!

2006-01-09T11:37:00.000+09:00

Yes! I am going tp NYC next month.I have a friend in NYC who is a longtime The Who freak.She and her friends used to have drinks with John at the Hotel Bar he stayed everytime he went to tour in MSG as The Who. Can't wait see her. That's one of my reasons going to NYC.

Some of other reasons are ....
1) Black Hound http://www.blackhound.com/chocolates.cfm See above pics, looks so yummy. 2)Sarabeth's Kitchen http://www.sarabeth.com/ Best chocolate brownies and preserves I've ever had!! And lovely restraunt(not only food but also their service).
3)Hanging around Chealsea,Village,Tribecca,China town, Korean Town..

If you blogger have some recommendation about food, restraunt,place to go etc..,please let me know, love to hear from you. Now I am thinking where to stay this time. Chealsea Hotel has been renovated recently, that made this hotel less attractive.Anyone agree with me?

I went to chat party at BallerinaGurl this morning. Though I couldn't catch up all of chats(going a little faster to type for me, as I am not good at English very well,haha),it was fun really.Thanks Ric & Molly.Simon and Mikey joined, too!!Rachel tried to join, but she couldn't due to somthing wrong with site or pc.Sorry for her..

Tommy can see for miles?

2006-01-03T01:16:00.000+09:00

This is "I Can See For Miles"of The Who/Japanese 7 inch which I have. They are so young and so cute. It is one of the most favorite PS of my The Who 7 inch collection.Also I LOVE the song itself.Keith's drumming was nothing but fabulous.It makes me so happy and gives me energy.
I sing it everytime I go to KARAOKE.Oh, YEAH!!

I found the PS in eBay auction. I was surprised to see its BUY IT NOW price.It is about $600!!HOHOHO!!

TOMMY and me

2005-12-19T23:34:00.000+09:00

Time had passed...After few yeas I flied to London on vacation. I went to Leicester Spuare Box Office, trying to find good one I should go.I LOVE musical .Then some TITLE caught my eye.It was that I had heard it before.Also it reminded me of him. The title was Tommy. I wondered he still loved Tommy /The Who... I found myself still missing him through the musical called Tommy.

The pic is my lovely roommate and bodyguard. His name is Urnie.haha.

Tommy was transfered.

2005-12-10T01:50:00.000+09:00

I was tranfered to Head office in Nagaoka-city,though he was still in Tokyo.We could hardly meet.The distance between me and him, I mean in not only geographic but also
mental got wider little by little.At last we separated.I cried and cried until tears dried up...That made me forget TOMMY of The Who.

TOMMY began to work

2005-11-20T21:33:00.000+09:00

After graduation of University in Japan,I began to work at a Bank in Nagaoka-city, Japan.Two years later I was transfered to its Tokyo office. Unexpected transfer.The next year I met a GUY, who is a freshman to work with us.He is 3 years YOUNGER than I and loves music so much.We became close naturally.And he was my boyfirend.His most favorite album was "TOMMY"of The Who.It was my first meeting of The Who.What a coincidence!!

A girl who was called TOMMY

2005-10-10T16:41:00.000+09:00

When I was 22, I went to UK to study English . "Little School Of English " in Worthing was where I had studied for 4 weeks. I was only one Japanese student in my class. Then one of my teacher called me TOMMY. He gave me English Name (TOMMY) . Because it was easier to pronounce for him than to pronounce my first name "TOMOKO". In those days, I didn't know The Who's TOMMY at all . No one let me know, either.
