After the Concert...
Greetings,
Here is the report of the events occurred after the concert.
After the concert was over, we went to the pre-arranged meeting point
to meet with the members from the Japanese Koji Tamaki Mailing List
who also attended the concert. We then headed to a yakinikuya
(Japanese barbecue) restaurant nearby.
While we were having a nice meal, we were mingling around getting to
know each other as well. Meanwhile, Nick was gracious enough to rush
back to our hotel to fetch David's guitar. Upon Nick's return with
the guitar, David began a short but pretty nice mini-concert. David
played "Kanashimi ni Sayonara", "Den'en" and quite possibly "Karinto
Kouba no Enototsu no Ueni" (sorry, sudden lapse of memory, must have
been the beer ;P). Everyone present joined in to sing along. The
last song we did at the restaurant was "Gin Iro no Pistol".
Throughout this mini-concert, everyone was very enthusiastic, even
though the last song is not an Anzenchitai hit single song.
Unfortunately, time was winding down and some of the members had to
leave. I wish everyone who could play the guitar got to play at
least one song, but it was not meant to be. Anyhow, we left the
restaurant and went to a karaoke club with the remaining KTML members.
One of the nice things about Japanese karaoke club is that there is
no shortage of Anzenchitai/Koji Tamaki songs. The one we went to is
no exception. However, along came something challenging: there is a
point scoring system in effect and after a song is over, the screen
will display a score determined by the computer as to how well the
song was performed. Luckily, we all made it with decent results. We
had a very good mix of Anzenchitai and Koji Tamaki songs. Needless
to say, we all had a great time.
The next morning, we got together at our hotel lobby to take a trip
to the Snow Museum. A bit of Anzenchitai trivia: part of the museum
was used as a photography location for one of Anzenchitai's tour
pamphlets. The place is beautiful with lots of things to look at,
such as ice sculpture (both natural and crafted), as well as tutorial
information about snow. The Snow Museum is actually a part of the
Hokkaido Village of Traditional Arts and Crafts so there are plenty
of other places worth visiting. This is a recommended point of
interest to visit while in Asahikawa.
After visiting the Snow Museum, we went back to downtown Asahikawa
for lunch. At the restaurant, there were many laminated autographs
of celebrities from all over Japan. Of course, what caught our
attention were the autographs of all members of Anzenchitai on the
wall, along with Polaroid snapshots of them. This is not the only
restaurant we saw their autographs. With them being Asahikawa
natives, it is no surprise to see their autographs everywhere.
We spent a little bit of time looking at the photographs we took up
to that point of our trip. Then, the KTML members were getting ready
to visit Harvest Road House. Our train to the New Chitose airport
was almost due as well. It was time for us to bid farewell.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our KTML friends from
Japan for their kindness. They really made us feel at home while
we were there. All the wonderful times we had together while we were
in Asahikawa will stay with me for a long, long time. I hope we will
meet again soon.
