Trial Period

trial_1

I¡Çd like to introduce the cat, Devi (provisional name, 1 year old, male), that is a candidate for our new member of the family.

He¡Çs been staying with us as a trial since yesterday. To be honest, the point isn¡Çt whether he can familiarize oneself with us or not, but whether our house cat, Chihuahua (7 years old, female), can handle living with him or not.

I have always thought to adopt a new cat since a cat we kept with Chihuahua died at age 4, few years ago, by the cancer disease, but I didn¡Çt feel something click inside me if I saw cats and kitties that need home. However, he attracts attention of me because he is the spitting image of the deceased cat, Baron.

They look exactly like each other, but Devi is different in character from timid and quiet Baron. The new face is active like a kitty and all self-assertive.

The End of the Azalea Season

tutuji

Azalea, Tutuji in Japanese, is popular in Japan and planted in gardens and alongside the street. It usually reaches full bloom from late April to early May in Tokyo. After cherry blossoms, the next amusement for flower-loving Tokyoties is the plant.

Among many beautiful Azaleas I see every year, I concern about the abandoned one in the picture the most. The nearby building had been used for a corporate dormitory for a long time until it was sold 7 or 8 years ago. Its fence and garden was playground for the children of the neighborhood, and I used to run on and jump down from the fence. At that time, there were many azaleas, and we used to pick the flowers and consumed nectar from them.

La Folle Journée Japon, ¡ÈDays of Enthusiasm¡É

LFJ2012_1

One of the pleasures of the Golden Week holidays was this event.
La Folle Journée est un festival de musique classique. Oops, excusez-moi! It¡Çs originally a French annual classical music festival founded in 1995, aimed at the popularization of classical music, in Nantes. Throughout the festival period, multiple concerts are held simultaneously in a variety of venues from morning till night. Each concerts is approximately 45 or 60 minutes long and low in cost. Each year focuses on a theme, initially on composers such as Mozart and Beethoven.

Based on the format of it, La Folle Journée has been brought to many other parts of the world, and since 2005 La Folle Journée au Japon has held in the Tokyo International Forum this time of the year. During the festival, 300 or more concerts (the tickets are between 1,500 – 3,500 yen) and related programs are held. As a casual fan of classical music, I have participated in the event since 2005 except for the last few years.

La Folle Journée Japon 2012 was held May 3rd to May 5th under the theme of ¡ÈLe Sacre Russe,¡É the music of Russia. When I tried to get tickets just several days earlier, those to the most concerts were already sold out, but we could drop in on three of them on the first day.

I enjoyed all of them, and I was tremendously-impressed with the Capella de Saint-Pétersbourg. The mixed chorus was established as a Russian Church choir that historically uses nothing other than voices. When singing devotional songs by Rachmaninov and Sviridov, the thickness of their voices was more than I could imagine. The chorus powerfully resonated with the body of Kinakinw seated in the back row of a hall. I had goose bumps; just amazing! I have CDs of Gregorian Chant, which is also unaccompanied one, so I expected something like, but that was a very different.

The event has a festive and excited atmosphere. Though it was unfortunately raining, many visitors, including us, gathered in the open space, where the other stage for free events and food stalls stranded, and spent their time between intervals of concerts as they please. Some groups brought elaborate lunch boxes, and the others had a drinking party.

Day Spa, Oktoverfest, Chinese

Japan is in midst of the Golden Week holidays, a week between April 29th and May 5th, in which a lot of people return to their hometown or go on trips. I don¡Çt travel during this period, but instead, I usually spend my free days hanging around in the Greater Tokyo Area.

We went to a day spa, Manyo-no-yu spa, in Yokohama yesterday though it was unfortunately raining. This is said the spa provides hot spring water directly brought from Yogawara and Atami (the famous hot springs near Yokohama), but the water in its bathtubs has lost traits of original natural hot spring water. I would rather call it chlorine water.

However, I prefer it among several spas in the waterfront areas for the gorgeous view from outside bathtubs and all the equipment and facilities for all ages and diverse base. There are large bathtubs, open-air baths, the rooftop foot-bath with the view (in the opening photo), saunas, family bathrooms, relaxing rooms, various facilities for relaxation and esthetic treatment, restaurants, an Internet corner, game arcade, private rooms for party, hotel facilities, and so on.

Oktoverfest is a beer festival held annually in Munich, which is one of famous events in Germany. In recent years, an Oktoverfest style beer fest that gathered brewers in Munich and Japan has been held around Japan. Visitors can enjoy various beers and German foods. It¡Çs the 10th in the series in Yokohama, and I think it¡Çs popular among Yokohamans. There were a great many people in hard rain.

Impressive Grilled Fish Lunch

Takishita_1

A Japanese restaurant, Takishita, is a hot spot for lunch in Azabu-juban, which serves voluminous fillets cooked over a charcoal fire.

The restaurant usually has five kinds of seasonal fish dishes including, for example, salmon, Japanese horse mackerel, mackerel, brevoort, marbled sole, red sea bream, true sardine, scombrops gilberti, and so on. All dishes are the same in price (1,260 yen), and each of them is served with rice, miso soup, and a couple of dishes such as cooked vegetables, grated Japanese radish, and some pickles (it¡Çs traditional Japanese home cooking).

I chose large Japanese horse mackerel this day - I couldn¡Çt resist the attractions of the appetizing large fish, though the photo doesn¡Çt convey the size well. The other fillets were also 2 - 3 times as large as ones served at regular restaurants. Watching voluminous fishes on a charcoal-burning grill make me heart jump. It¡Çs a moment I realizes I'm Japanese.

Not only the rice has free refills, which is common, but the grated Japanese radish also has free refills! I was very happy since I love it. The radish is a popular garnish that complements a grilled fish in Japan. It provides a refreshing aftertaste and stimulates digestion.

Takayu Hot Spring Resorts

Takayu1

While the trees broke into blossom in Hanamiyama Park in Fukushima City last week, in Takayu Hot Spring Resorts, which was in the mountain area of the same city, there was snow on the ground. According to a local, it had snow at the beginning of April.

Takayu Onsen was also a long-cherished place in Fukushima.
Discovered 400 years ago, the pot spring located 750 – 800 meters above sea level is one of celebrated spas in Tohoku. It¡Çs relatively small resorts dotted with a little more than 10 inns, and you can enjoy abundant amounts of fresh milky white water having a sulfurous odor in all those inns.

The building with steep raftered roofs in the opening photo is a bathhouse of a historical inn named Tamago-yu (literally means ¡Èegg water¡É) with 140 years of history. Though it features several baths with atmosphere beside it, we could take only this because when we dropped by it at the end of opening hours for day use.

Account of World Team Trophy

WTT1

Team Japan skated off with the gold as competition concluded at the second ISU World Team Trophy (WTT). Along with the first and second day for which I purchased tickets in advance, I attended the third day after all and indulged in the gorgeous competition with top-class skaters who stood on a par with Grand Prix Final and World.

While highlight of the first day was men¡Çs SP, especially Joubert, Abbott, and Daisuke, those of the second day were Davis/White¡Çs FD and Daisuke¡Çs FS. They were just I was looking for! I laughed off my pain and gave them a standing ovation. It¡Çs secrets that I wasn¡Çt supposed to be there on the third day.

Now for some generalities of figure skating event.
Firstly, visitors have a lot of stuff: some carry a winter clothe, rug, and cushion, and the others also bring a flower bouquet and present for a skater one likes. My luggage is usually as big as one for an overnight trip.
Secondly, most visitors are female. Eventually, there is a long, long line for the toilet at intermission. Hundreds of people are waiting. So, I try to cut down my use of the toilet. Even if I feel elated by an event, I restrain myself from drinking. Not only beer, but also I refrain from cold drinks, coffee, and something that have a diuretic effect. I¡Çm sipping hot herbal tea I¡Çve brought quietly during intermission.
