cocobat and adidas

i loved it. it made me sad that we are leaving soon. no more shows. bah!!ryo is the drummer. no english. gave us shirts and stickers and high-fives and hugs... and showed me pictures of his cat.between songs there is no yelling or sounds of excitement. sometimes there is not even clapping. at the end of the band's set, everyone golf claps and then the lights come on. that's it.we don't stand out at all when we go to small, intimate gatherings with our japanese friends... no, no, especially not darren...so yeah. thursday night was fun.

now let me tell you about yesterday.

yesterday on the train... just before we get on, this guy sees d's jacket that has 2 stripes down the sleeves and thinks that 2 is the same as 3. he gets very excited because he is wearing an adidas jacket. he YELLS to d in japanese that they are the same. d just smiles and nods... we get on the train and dude sits right across from us. the whole way back he randomly YELLS stuff at us: where the adidas store is he goes to, he does judo, he is a weightlifter... at one point he got up, came over to us and shoved his adidas watch in d's face. all this because d had stripes on his sleeves... oh, he also YELLasked d "are you a beautiful girl?" that's the best part. the whole train was totally silent... so funny.

new pictures on flickr... or here for the slideshow. just some more shots of the show and some from around my school...
