Century Transform

If you’re a fan of Japanese music and live outside of Japan, I would be so grateful if you take a moment to read this🙏 If you’ve ever wondered why more Japanese artists don’t reach out and do shows & tours overseas, the reason is pretty simple and the main one is the hurdle of selling tickets. There is only a SMALL percentage of artists that can rely on the power of big labels/agents to promote their shows internationally. Even in Japan, selling out shows is a lot more challenging than in past years, due to people just being satisfied with digital content. And considering it costs even more to bring a tour overseas, you can imagine how many artists are willing to LOSE money by doing so, if any. It’s not just about the artist not being popular or sufficient enough, or that they don’t have the will to bring their content to fans around the world. In fact, there are so many fellow artists around me that I highly respect, telling me they wish they could do shows overseas, but know it’s not realistically possible, and as someone who yearns for the same thing, it really, really hurts inside. More importantly, it hurts most that fans around the world will often never ever be able to see a show of their favorite Japanese artist. I’m not trying to ask for pity, nor demand anything, unless this resonates with you. But if it does, and you want to know what you can do to help us reach you with our music, it’s really very simple. Please go follow artist’s socials. Please go subscribe to their Youtube channels. Please find them on Spotify. Please interact with them by commenting and letting them know you’re there to support them. Please share your passion with the people around you. AND PLEASE, don’t miss the opportunity to buy a ticket and GO to their shows, when that miraculous opportunity comes, whether it’s a solo or event stage. I am not exaggerating when I say it IS a miracle and it might never happen again. I know writing all this isn’t gonna change much, but I just hope it reminds you that every listener, every fan, every second of support matters in keeping music alive, particularly in this generation. Thanks for listening, if you made it this far🫶 Let’s keep Rocking On. NANO

The album that got me hooked on Iron Maiden. Still Life is my favorite and so underrated🤘

@Afaenia Definitely good to get out and boost the immune system. I'm planning the same this weekend💪 I hope you feel better soon 🙏

@Centurybeta2112 I think it was just the combo of terrible hospital bed & no sunlight for a few days. Might also be a little ill lol. Gonna go soak up some vitamin D today!!

I've done nothing all week, but also slept like shit at hospital, so I've just woken up from a 4 hr nap. 🥴 Why am I this exhausted?!

BREAKING NEWS: Tom Morello’s new single “ADJOURN IT” comes out May 29th. A collaboration with longtime friend @serjtankian of @systemofadown and Morello’s shredding 15 year old son Roman Morello the song was inspired by “The persecution of immigrants across the land and the counterforce of a heroic resistance to the rising tide of fascism. ADJOURN IT is a ‘Freedom Song’ of crushing riffs for justice and equality.” Pre-save now at the link in bio 🔥

5月15日 入院194日目 退院まであと33日 今日は入院してから初めてパンを食べました。 嚥下能力が低下して基本的になんでも飲み込みづらいんですが、パンのようにポソポソしたものは特に飲み込みにくく、食事や差し入れ含め禁止されていました。 似たものだと、あんこ、芋類、かぼちゃ、脂が少ない肉や魚なんかが喉に引っ掛かります。 ちなみに麺類も禁止されています。 長いからかな？ 啜ると汁もついてくるのは確かに怖いです。 退院が近づいてきたのでパンを食べられるかテストしましょうということで、検査室でX線映像を見ながら、水、ご飯、パン（それぞれ無味無臭のバリウム入り）を食べました。 案の定パンは喉で引っかかりましたが、水分と共に流し込めたのでOKということで、パンは解禁されました。 これで堂々とスポンジケーキも食べられるようになりました。感謝。 パンは2種類食べました。 パンオンリーと、マーガリンとジャムが付いたパン。 マーガリンとジャムが付いたパンが美味くて感動。 麺は実際の食事の際にテストする事になりました。 なんで別なのか不明ですが、栄養科の都合らしい。 早く家系ラーメン食べたいな。 家族での食事もいっぱいしよう。 あと33日。 最終日は退院手続きして出るだけなので実質32日のリハビリで終了。 最後の最後までいけるところまで精一杯頑張ります。

@michal666jp 今日の呪文は🪄 『雨を感じる人もいれば、ただ濡れるだけの人もいる』 I love this saying! This can apply to a person's state of mind at the time or their personality. I like to think my personality feels the rain always (because I love the rain - the senses before, during, after)

おはよー😈✨ 今日は【#ヨーグルトの日 】 みんなはヨーグルトに何かけて食べる？ 私はハチミツ🍯 体にいい✨糖分も大事✨ 魔法使い🐈🪄Tシャツを着て 魔力マシマシでリハに行ったけど この日は雨が降ってしまい アメフラシの魔力に勝てなくて泣きました 今日の呪文は🪄 『雨を感じる人もいれば、ただ濡れるだけの人もいる』 降らすなって言ってるでしょ💢 素敵な金曜日になぁれ🪄

5月13日 入院192日目 退院まであと35日 今日はulma sound junctionの田村ヒサオと、一緒にマキシマム ザ ユリモンをやってるかんちゃんがそれぞれ会いに来てくれました。 ヒサオとは、バンドの話もしたけどそれ以外の話をメインに。 バンドの話は、今年はどうするの？とか、俺に居てほしい場面がいっぱいあるよとか、色々話しました。 結構なんでも気さくに話せる仲。 かんちゃんは、まず俺の肩を揉むところからスタートしてくれました。 一揉みずつ丁寧で、心にじーんときちゃう…。 一緒に言語聴覚のリハビリを受けて滑舌のトレーニングしました。 もうね、言語聴覚士さんが一生懸命説明してくれる横でずっともごもご言ってて説明聞いてるどころじゃなくてずっと笑ってしまった。 ドラムも人間性も大好きです。 2人とも「また来るよ」と言って帰っていきました。 会いに来てくれるのって、本当に嬉しいなぁ。 今日も眩暈はキツかったけど、2人のおかげで楽しく過ごせた。 本当に本当に、ありがたい。 明日も頑張ります。

My friend I work for just told me he doen't like Keanu Reeves. I don't know what to do....🫪

This is great advice! I'm in the same frame of mind and taking this advice right now. I left Minnesota for a week to visit my childhood best friend in Oklahoma to just get away from stress and relax. He and his wife are like family to me.
