shobus diary

i need to be alone
i need to get bored

Staying at Yoyo's parents house with theire wonderfull garden.
Yesturday, opening party at Caniche Courage, I ate cury with the beautifull and so nice Miroque, Motor Karaoke was presented and after 10 minutes, neighbours complained about the noise, so we had to make a -non sens- quite motor karaoke...

Mina aligato tanoshikata !!!!

Today (friday September 2nd) we will present the Motor Karaoke in the very nice art galery CANICHE COURAGE, please come if you are near ...

i think i owe lozi one year of massage in a knitting machine shaped sine wave emitting space capsule on the moon.

lozi-sama, how will i ever make it up to YOU?

Yoyo is Love.
She is so beautiful.
Her sweet home make us have wonderful dreams.
(even if Stephane dreamed we were still carrying things over the city and looking for secondhandshops from where we would never buy anything - He may have been pursuiing the hard day we spent yesterday).
I dreamed of the Giant Nausicaa Omus we've been talking about with Maider Fortuné (so good to see you again).
They had the same sounds as my dearest japanese Semi who spend their 7 years underground life before dying on a 1 week last shout. Thank you so much YOYO.

MAXIMIUM BIG UP for Lozi-Sama-kun for these Amazing Bouncy Bus Travels !! Such a good work !

Here are 3 new videos with correct URL :

01 - Nagoya street dance festival outdoor rehearsal
02 - The Nagoya Yagi roboto
03 - Where you can see some stufs from metamo, the Silent Hill ...

there's a special moment in Davide's song Cookbook where it seems that he is saying "curse minor" but really he isn't

the thing is he won't tell Stephane and me what he is singing about

You could just write a novel about Lozi boy. Maybe I'll do that, one day or another. In the meantime, it should be added that my man Yosuke doesn't only love sinewaves, old Isuzu busses and sewing-machines (you should have seen the oscillating speck of light when he saw Yoshimi's Brother machine in Nagoya), he also goes kani-hunting (crab-hunting) at dawn whenever he has the time and a river nearby, just for sport.

In Superdeluxe, Roppongi

this place kind of feels familiar, now

many people many friends showed up

we performed ok

except for a chaotic and desultory and dull lecture which really didn't suit the non-stop excitement of the last thirty days

Mehdi seemed quite touched when he evoked all the people we met and amazing things we lived along the road, and I guess that says it all despite the cliche and that is enough

highlights of last night - we came back with the first metro at 5, stuck in some bad Italian cafe with some restless matron checking that we weren't lying down on the shabby plastic seats of the restaurant all the time because we really can't afford a taxi from Roppongi to Yahiro - include the MEC session with Ji-Ji+ the Motor Karaoke display loud in the venue after the gigs, making cadavre exquis with Mehdi and Chihiro battling against sleepiness, the "flush sound" in the super advanced pan of the restaurant, Lozi kun making 10 amazing faces in very little time going back home. I just wished I'd had more time and energy to give to our friends who showed up (one special apology to Nao chan, whom I almost couldn't see at all).

Anyway, some pics show make it a more decent experience for you when the other shoboys add to this dull post.


oh and I almost forgot

I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE

Tomoko, from YCAM in Yamaguchi, has her own blog in French. We had to mention it, as she mentions us.

We said byebye to the bus and let it rest in the parking of Tama-university (sob...) the inside was quite messy and beta-beta after one whole month inside. Special thanx go to Mihara-kun who drove our nimotsu with his car . On our way back for Tokyo some very kind bus driver offered us the fare just because we had a short chat with him explaining him that we had just achieved a 1 month tour in a crazy bus (I showed him a pict).
VERY VERY nice and crazy party in Yahiro with outstanding live acts!
SAM2 (crazy PDA-bending performance)
Taniguchi Akihiko
Mori-kun
Satoshi Yashiro
Panawave Brothers
Small video here

Yesterday evening was party time at yahiro factory with BBQ and concerts. i don't remember the names but there was one guy with a triple neck instrument (one doublebass, one sarangi, one chinese two string violin) that he built, MAXed by another guy.
then the other guy made a solo max performance with a strange motion sensor.
then a circuit bent hello kitty violin performance.
then another max concert with a max controled moving table (and we put a hippopotamus sculpture on top to make it more fun)... i think i'm forgetting one or two things... and
then the panawave brothers played their best show ever! bouncy evil and noisy music!
then we all got crazy and drunk and the amplifier broke and lets go to bed and oh it's only midnight.

we've spent a few days at this one festival where we were not supposed to be playing.

Lots of waiting and useless comings and goings due to heavy organization issues with the bus - you can't just park that nasty fat ass anywhere you feel like, you know. So we eventually bid farewell to Nagoya, Shawn and Yoshimi, Satoko chan, to join the big Shizuoka nowhere where the huge Metamorphose festival was held. Strange waiting time in some sea-side town to wait for Philippe and Virginie, then even stranger waiting time in the next to decaying Nihon Cycle amusement park (Izu), full of sento moments and relative fun in a children's swimming-pool. Then, after 30 hours of floating hiatus, we found ourselves playing on some tiny remote stage in the festival itself, invited by the Arch collective. Iamas tomodachi were there. Lovely Makiko and Matoko also joined. This kind of helped for the fun part (I'll avoid the big *non-so-fun* part), but we're really not techno people, and as we waited forever for Davide to comeback from Tortoise's gig, far away from the big, big crowd, we fell asleep in some gymnasium next to the big Iamas installation and missed it all. In the morning, we woke up quite flabbergasted by the total cleanness of the place - Japanese ravers are nothing like the French ones, I can tell you. Now we've come back to beloved Tokyo, and waiting for tonight's big BBQ party in Highti. See you there.

A lazy day off in Nagoya with Shawn, as we took the typical Nagoya breakfast "moaningu" (=morning) and walked around the streets of Lozi's place's area...
And I saw for the first time in the Nagoya Tower Records the latest Aoki Takamasa / Tujiko Noriko 's album (28), for which I made the design... + there were a KingQ4 name tag in the shop.
