「Import ⇔ Export」
Hi there,
I am right now working on several works in both public and private, I think. For this MELTRICK English blog of mine, actually now still prior working on a Japandroids and Love live report first from drafting is coming soon. (I won't/don't want to forget about P.O.S and Dessa in March though haha.)
For its preview;
My encounter with JAPANDROIDS was..definitely this song,
(Although I forgot that it might be posted on this blog already, not sure. )
★Japandroids / "Young Hearts Spark Fire"
(fr. Debut album "POST NOTHING" 2009)
I, of course, sparked with them.
And my encounter with LOVE IS ALL
was indeed remarkably just a couple months ago before I experienced them, was actually this song.
★LOVE IS ALL / "Wishing well on the beach"
(Outside live at Majorstua Subwaystation, Oslo 2008.)
(Song from Ponyvinyl debut album "Two Thousand and Ten Injuries." 2010)
I love even strong drum rolling starting of regular version on its song intro and coming highly creaky pop vocalism next on it.
(*You can find its regular beach side locating music video on youtube or somewhere. Please try to it.)
~~
Well, it's been May Days for me.
Someone said
"He's ended up to get stuck into returning."
I know it.
"That means sticking with this ever."
Yes I know and I hope to.
Final distance is not just distance yet.
Whatever, one of my working now is getting putting out someone's work from some dear Spanish site (which I will be able to show you soon after everything has done with it) and while doing work on it, I was stupidly came up with new brilliant ideas. What ideas came up with are simply "Exporting" that means for me that I should project to introducing my favorite JAPANESE MUSIC and (almost sub) cultural things, etc, here or somewhere could put on. This must be important point for me.
So far, Even I might have introduced like Winnie with lyrics or some English singing music by Japanese artists or some Japanese artists who have been activated in overseas in these years, but I didn't do it well because I just have been concentrated to import good-well oversea music onto my sides mainly, example this MELTRICK Japanese version blog I found to write closely at first, twitter, and mixi via this English version blog, myspace, tumblr or many uncountable informations in oversea where I am living.
As well as every recent works of mine, I have got a request that Japanese translation of Tegan&Sara's newest studio album "Sainthood" on my Japanese version blog. She, who requested it to me, really wants to get Japanese translation because there is no Japanese edition yet. And she and many fans of T&S need to be imported enough informations about them into Japan. When I'd put some live reports of T&S of February show in Boston on their early 2010 tour with Steel Train and Holly Miranda, it might be kinda rare info in Japan so I could get responses. I'm so glad that there are many people loved T&S and they're really willing T&S come over to play in Japan too, and my works made it well work at all. If you want read the article with many live photos of my Japanese blog about T&S, here
(LiveFoto「Tegan&Sara@TheOrpeumTheatre,Boston2010 ＋Articles」)
*If I'll have enough time to transfer the article here, I will inform you. "Cause I'd want.
Just an opposite way of this pattern, from Japan (especially underground) into oversea overground,
I should have done the way to export my favorite artists, music, and arts kind, plus my closet friends' musicians and their music or works so far. I regret that, but it's on step by step by my own pace to the world, I will do it from now on.
Okay then, my first step, I'd really love to introduce my drum master's band called JET LILY STAR from Osaka/now in Tokyo to you. They are obviously singing Japanese ROCK MUSIC themselves.They treasure singing and playing ROCK MUSIC by Japanese. But you know what? their sounds really prefect. They're almost decade friends of mine since I was a high school band kid. They had signed with major label and released some records with a very famous producer who works for Yaida Hitomi(Yaiko), however over decade of their hard works independently, they finally end up to decide to disband in March, and making last show in the end of May, this month. I am completely sad to be able to see their farewell. But my responsibility of these writing works about music fundamentally by them at first is still continued, or rather with here to start again. So hope you'll like their music and feel real Japanese ROCK and ROLL with highly poppness.
Even they will broke up and stop playing together,
I hope they'll come back J-Music scene, or at least carry on playing music ever.

LiveReport「SELF-STARTER @TheGreatScott Apr/21st/2010」
(Ohh my gash, you know? Recently my networking and laptop condition are badly slow, so I am continuously trying to fix them though. This is therefore that I am editing fuckin' second time 'cause its saving, where I had done untill intro and 1st paragraph, has also expired suddenly. I'm so sad and at a loss, but I can try against it to do write again with my second effort, hmm... 'Cause at the same time, I got known a news from one of my favorite Danish band called Alcoholic Faith Mission which they'll come to Boston May 2nd by their new full length album release US tour.)
Hi there, very thanks for a few readers of mine. On this post, on this time, I would love to the latest live report which I got experienced a couple nights ago. On Wednesday April 21st, at the Great Scott where locate beyond the BU(Boston University) in Allston, WHITE HINTERLAND and Dosh came to perform on their new release tour with YEAH RIGHT (from Providence) who had supported them as opening act.
Actually I wanted to see the gig event of WTBU which is BU radio station presented last sunday but I couldn't. Because I had many reason but mainly because of this WH and Dosh event. But I could not give up being there for the night, I found Pelly Twin's blog which is the tally of Pellys who she DJs on WTBU program which I have never heard yet unfortunately. They put a mixtape download link of the night show's band line nap freely on the post of their blog before the show kindly. If you got interested in Boston based bands so you should feel free to download it and listen to it as like me even missed the show!!
(Actually for sure, the show had lined nap according to it;
Golden girls, Dom, Quilt, the lord jeff, and Turtle Ambulance. )
Here is the event poster.
Secondary plan of mine on Wednesday at Great Cott, I invited friends who are music lovers even they're usually into different kinds of music as me on facebook. This place Great Scott was probably second time since Asobi Seksu came on tour with their Polyviny record label mate Loney Dear last year's fall. I love there, atmosphere and audience space is very close to the lower stage.
1st act of the show was Yeah Right who is 3 piece band simply consisted Vocal, Mac and Effects.
Feels like a Yeah Yeah Yeahs becomes more electric without guitar sound. But they are more like having fantasy on their lyric and melody line above a computerized four-bass-beat. You can even download their MP3 track through their myspace blog into lastfm page for free, but you should see them a live because you can feel more fantasy rather than recorded source in my opinion.
2nd act was White Hinterland. WH (click left to see her bio on wiki) is essentially Casey Dienel ,who spent her conservatory time for high school and college in Boston before moved to Portland, OH, that she currently works under its name with Magic Maker Shawn Creeden. When I knew them through The Boston Phoenix news paper, it has a feature article of their new 2nd full length record and coming up on tour and mentioned about them, Dream Pop SELF-STARTER; "I respond to the environment that I'm in. I'm like a sponge," says Dienel. This word make me tumble for coming to see her music at this chance.
They are so fantastic. Reverb sounds, Elected her Ukulele, Many illusional effect sounds, and especially when she exchanged her handle instrument Ukulele to Synth, I was knocked down by its sound and her playing. So attracted, but probably it's depended on listener's ear because their sound is very unique on Pop melody of her singing voice behind disgusting back sounds at once. If someone who dislike it at once, then or continue to be soaked in her music, may be so fascinate ever. I am the one expectedly.
Last act of the night was of coarse Dosh. He was formerly a drummer of band Fog, and is a multi instrumentalist. I didn't even know stupidly though, he is quiet popular in Japan. Currently he plays with Andrew Broder who also plays many instruments especially bass guitar and saxophone. They are holly technical.
Dosh made like a impromptu drum pattern loop first and duplicated some sounds via some instruments with Andrew. And it finally became a strong groove and made me so highly dance up. You should just listen to and watch his perform even on YouTube first.
Photo includes the article of WhiteHinterland, The Boston Phoenix The Best 2010 and Vice Magazine.
Vice Magazine is entirely my favorite magazine that used to be able to be gotten in some X-GIRL and XLARGE stores in Japan when I was in Japan. But it was first time I could get it in USA, at Great Scott this night.
Yea I should put some videos from this time introduction of artists.
*Sorry I could not find YEAH RIGHT's video, so please click above for myspace.
Dosh collaborative live.

ConcertReport「Piano has "black & white" and "stories & rhythms."」
Hi there, I was busy and have been in worse condition of body and mental both, but I got to be an audience for a bunch of great shows in these days. I wanna introduce them.
The middle of last month, a machine-gun-rapper P.O.S. (of Doomtree) with his ex-girlfriend female rapper dessa (of Doomtree) and a hip-hop artist Astronautalis came touring in Boston, and the end of last month, a drum'n'guitar (NO AGE's style) duo from Vancouver Japandroids with their label Polyvinyl-mate from Sweden LoveIsAll. I should have reported these stuffs on this blog lively before, more quickly though, I swear I will.
Tonight I was invited to come seeing a show which my dear roommate Berklee Jazz Pianist Takeshi Ohbayashi from Hiroshima,Japan would play. Piano Department Student Concert 2010 at Berklee college of music Performance Center.
I went seeing the show with my previous school friends from Japan and Mexico. We felt regretting that we should have learnt how to play piano in our childhoods whatever. Because we also plyay instruments such as guitar or drums but felt piano is that the most basic instrument at all. Piano also has featured stream of melodies and rhythms for song-writing and story-writing. On this time especially it has an assertion that inspiration from Jazz music. They make me so fascinated. The instinct basically.
Just my review quickly, I wish I could introduce players for tonight but probably next time.
