@Ami204108 Happy Xmas Ami!

Merry Christmas♪ I wanted to put the link to Mayumi / Holy Night (1992), but I can't find it on Youtube... (I converted it from tapes to MP3 this spring; Hold me tight in holy night ♪ ...I feel it's sort of Down On The Street (Acoustic) or this a bit) youtube.com/watch?v=JftFN8…

It’s always a pleasure bringing @SHAKATAK_UK to #Ipswich. This Friday they’re at @venue16ipswich with tickets available from @IpswichRegent or on the night. A wonderful gig in prospect with @rogshak #BillSharpe @jillsawardx #GeorgeAnderson #JacquiHicks & #KeithWinter.

@StephenFoz @SHAKATAK_UK @venue16ipswich @IpswichRegent @jillsawardx Really looking forward to this! A brilliant gig last time!

@Ami204108 A great night at The Stables! Full House!

I wonder how was Shak's gig last night. In 2022 & 2023, I could join their gigs after surviving in the looong heatwave, but this year... youtube.com/watch?v=JOvhDu…

@BrumHour @SHAKATAK_UK @TheJamHouse_ Always a great night!

@Ami204108 It was great!

I wonder how was Shak's Music Festival yesterday. BTW I watched the Wimbledon women's final on TV, I found quite a few audiences woke long sleeves, ...that would never happen in Japan now! youtube.com/watch?v=BSaPuO…

@rickygervais Obvious.

What do you think of this as a billboard? Funny? Boring? Depressing? Honest?

@Ami204108 Wild!

Soon I'll come back to normal life in music, but now I'm into e.g. this (I airchecked it in 1993), ... I'm the only Shak's fan who listen such a tune, isn't it? (The original is the Japanese anime song) Dave Rodgers - Get Wild (Techno) youtube.com/watch?v=iudC-x…

@Ami204108 All going good. Not worn out. Inspiring.

Now Shak is worn out due to the tight schedule, isn't it? I'll wait their news. BTW I put a link last time tweet, I listened many tunes in 30 years, but I felt only that listening for the 1st time, I might have avoided guitar tunes then. (Maybe I've kept it to listen someday)

@Ami204108 It was great!

I wonder how was shak's gig last night. BTW I imagine they'll come to Japan in autumn this year if they can, ...I hope I could visit Tokyo or Osaka at that time. Bitch To The Boys (Extended Mix) youtube.com/watch?v=A3yvJx…

@Ami204108 We go on Tuesday. Holland, Germany & Switzerland.

Shak will leave UK after tonight's their gig, isn't it? BTW I hear Billboard Live (venues) has become stricter how to purchase tickets, ...on top of pounding my heart whenever I get the ticket there, it gives me a headache! youtube.com/watch?v=C5W11n…

@Ami204108 Yes, he is a good friend of Shakatak. How sad - get well soon Kazumi.

I saw the news just now: Kazumi Watanabe (guitarist) has been hospitalised since last month due to a brainstem hemorrhage. (If I remember correctly, he joined the recording session; Shakatak – Once Upon A Time - The Acoustic Sessions) I'm really worried about him...

@Ami204108 Great gig FULL HOUSE

I wonder how was Shak's gig last night. BTW I've checked their schedule again, when should I expect they to come Japan this year if they can it? ...Oct? or Nov, June, late Sep...? youtube.com/watch?v=iYFnUE…

@Ami204108 Gig last night was brilliant. Tak was there!

I wonder how was the gig last night. BTW now I feel Shak's new album is sort of the gathering in C21s & 80s (Invitations album, Slow Dancing...), C21s-ish: Love Is Gonna Getcha, Never Meant To Be, After The Rain, Tell Me Why, Sky High 80s-ish: the others youtube.com/watch?v=HOz-IK…

@tonyblackburn Congratulations Tony! So well deserved.

And thanks to my wonderful manager and friend who has been with me for a long time and has just been terrific. Thanks Nick

@Ami204108 Not George’s- mine!

Bill's birthday is coming soon, Jill's is next month (& George's too?), ...Happy birthday everyone ♪ So this means, the Shak's new tunes by Bill & Jill: (Continue...) Never Meant To Be youtube.com/watch?v=IqZf-X… Love Is Gonna Getcha youtube.com/watch?v=PzRx0E…

@Ami204108 It was brilliant!

I wonder if how was the Festival. BTW actually, I'll tweet reviews for the last 5 tunes in the new album too, though they may become the review about the background of it, or kind of criticism. 1st Bill's tunes (today), then George's tunes (tomorrow or later)...

@Ami204108 Bill plays acoustic piano including the GREAT solo! Jamie plays all synths. Jill and Keith magnificent!

06 After The Rain: 1st we'll feel Beatifik, Keith's guitar & Jamie's keyboard, but soon Jill's vocal... "Aah Keith plays in Shak!" Right away I added it to "Shak Ultimate 20 of My Choice", though it isn't like "Welcome back Keith!"; just "Beatifik-ish Running Back To You"

@Ami204108 Postponed until next week.

Tonight Shak has a gig in Slovakia, isn't it? ...Postpone a week? (I've just visited Shak's website) Hopefully nothing happened. BTW is Mila model for the sleeve of Eyes Of The World? Or Everly?

@Ami204108 @SHAKATAK_UK Front cover looks a bit “churchy” to me so I’m not keen. Everyone else seems to love it.

@SHAKATAK_UK Should I book it right now? ...Or get when arrive at Billboard Live Tokyo? It's hard to pick one!
