One of my favorite songs from way back in 1997. I used to play this Chisato Moritaka song on my discman all the time riding on the train. Super-懐かしい!
And here’s a “live” performance where she wears the coolest dress ever.
Careful フチ子!

One of the omiyage that my family brought home for me was this version of Fuchiko. I like it a lot! The various Fuchikos are a lot of fun to take photos of. And if you break a few of them out at a restaurant with friends, it’s usually a good time!
Finally Finished Amachan (あまちゃん)
At long last I have finished watching Amachan (あまちゃん), an asadora that aired in 2013. Right now I am enjoying/suffering through my bachelor summer while my family is in Japan for a month, so I have a lot of free time in the evening to spend in front of the TV. So I picked up this drama again at around week 12 (of 26) and finished it yesterday. I really enjoyed it! The characters are pretty funny and the look into the life of a fledgling idol (not sure if it is accurate or not) was interesting. I highly recommend watching it if you haven’t seen it already. It makes me want to visit the seaside of Japan! I miss the ocean so much. 🐠🌊
My Little Lover – り・ぼん
Here’s one of my favorites songs from one of my favorite bands – り・ぼん by My Little Lover. This band was super-popular in the late ’90s and the singer is still active presently.
I’ve recently been learning more songs on my bass, and り・ぼん is one I am working on now. It’s a super-fun bass-line. Once I get good enough maybe I will make a video, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the song/video. You can also find more videos from the band here.
Dragon Problem?
*Spoiler Alert* So last night I watched How to Train Your Dragon 2 on Netflix. The animation was great. I liked the movie. But I woke up in the middle of the night with a thought in my head… What is going to happen to the dead alpha-dragon’s carcass? I mean, it is massive! The size of a tiny island. Just how do you dispose of something that humongous? Do you burn it? Is is possible to drag it into the sea? Or do you just let it rot? These are important unresolved issues that need to be addressed!
