DIAMOND RIVIERE
6 mars 2010 by a*urélie
Life is full of surprises.
Although I have hardly been making any plans lately, I feel that each and every one of my expectations has had to be somehow revised.
The unbelievable amount of energy I have enjoyed in the last month or so was not lost. But shall it keep flowing through me, I want to [...]

MOMENTUM
19 février 2010 by a*urélie
Some people are great fun. You meet up with them, you are just drinking tea and you can be pretty sure that all you are high on is the conversation.
Some people have great taste. They could have a sharp eye or a great ear. Well they have both, and also know how to choose the [...]

WINTER BREAK/SUMMER SESSION
15 février 2010 by a*urélie
It is so dark, one could stumble over a raccoon. The cicadas are noisier than the traffic on Mejiro Dori. I feel like we are dressed in the black-cotton atmosphere of the park. Shinjuku is trying to peep on us in between the branches of a bunch of trees. She is the one to be [...]

BABA AU SAKE
31 octobre 2009 by a*urélie
One evening in Aoyama, after taking a look inside the Spiral Gallery, a rainbow crowd spontaneously appeared all of a sudden on the pavement, drumming, singing and dancing. I asked someone what they were all up to and he told me something about a fun peace and love party that I could join. I was [...]

THE SPHINX
11 octobre 2009 by a*urélie
When it is not on the branch of a tree from which it can peep into my bedroom, this cat is in front of my apartment’s door (risking KO when I get out enthusiastically), sleeping on my stairs or keeping an eye on my mail… I wish we could have conversations in Japanese.

STREET STYLE (1)
16 septembre 2009 by a*urélie
My perfect Sunday in Paris involved drinking a café at La Perle or another bar, sitting outside in any kind of weather in order to enjoy the show of people on the street. Of course, it is even better in good company…
So my friend John and I perpetuated this tradition last week-end, in Harajuku for [...]

SKYJACKING
26 juillet 2009 by a*urélie
Japanese people’s enthusiasm for light and noise was collectively celebrated last night in Tokyo.
Summer is 花火 (hanabi) season. The first character meaning flower and the second fire, you might want to guess what it means… Depending on your IQ you are now thinking that people set their gardens ablaze in July and August or you [...]

ROCK & ROLL @ MY HOUSE
17 juin 2009 by a*urélie
If you are about to eat, if you have a phobia with insects or if you want to read a serious article about music, I apologize!
Yesterday,
2:13 pm… I am preparing coffee in my dining-kitchen when I see something moving behind the bin.
2:14 pm… After weighing my options (run away… but where?… go get my landlord [...]

JAL 406
10 juin 2009 by a*urélie
I met Sante on the plane from Paris to Tokyo. He advised me to use the headphones provided by the company instead of mine as I was plugging the latter. He said that the noise reduction device works surprisingly well, and he was right. Then I do not remember how we started the conversation but [...]
