May 1 2011: Kabusacki & Otomo Yoshihide at Vacant, Tokyo

Kabusacki & Otomo Yoshihide (guitars) at Vacant, Harajuku, Tokyo

I changed my guitar's strings last night and practiced more than usual. I feel better when I practice more!

I'm very excited I will play with Otomo today, a guitarist I greatly admire but whom I never played with before!

Taxi with Koki to Vacant...


Setup takes place...wonderful venue...wood!!!!!!!! I love the sound of wood..so warm...


lights are being setup...with great care...getting to look very beautiful...



my corner...


is it an illusion or this amp sounds much better that all the JCs I used previously? maybe that I practiced more last night? or the room? or the air? or the amp....


Otomo's corner



my Tokai, with new strings...

The performance was so much fun! with delicious moments of joy... I'm very happy! I found myself playing in a way I never did...stunning...surprising...fresh...Otomo was superb!!!!!!!

Stuff ready to go...


while people take all the lights setup apart...




goodbye Vacant! I hope I'll play here again, and hope I'll play with Otomo again. Luxury...
