Long time no see ... sorry about that ... well .. we are on a Japan trip right now .. and I got a nice new funky camera .. and here are 2 new clips for you to enjoy:

Sushi, which is us having a nice sushi lunch (how much more trivial can we get?) .. music is a bossa nova version of "the girl is in love with you" from 'Bossa Bacharach' .. an album worth checking out

and the second clip is from an Isakaya meeting with Utako ... music is 'round midnight' which was the music actually playing while we were there ...

As the connection stays fine, the files get bigger ... today we hiked through Redwood national park .. see huge trees, see beautiful nature, observe ticks attacking innocent hikers, watch a bear mauling Ritsu ...

Music is Roger Nichols and a small circle of friends singing "Don't take your time" ... before people try to read too much into this ... i chose this song for its dynamic that i felt while driving through this magnificent forrest ... please DO take your time to check out those fantastic trees.

Take a ride with us, heading north over the Golden Gate Bridge and around the sharp curves of Route #1 as it winds it's way along the western coast.

First new clip from our current USA trip. This is a glimpse of the fun we had at Knott's Berry Farm

Music is the Beach Boy's "Little saint Nick", which was playing in the park several times and somehow fit well to the theme.

Here is a clip from last weekend's trip to Crusoe's Retreat. Music is "They all laughed" which is actually a Pizzicato Five song, but this here is a nice and mellow cover by "Avec meets Haruko ASAKA" from the album "Quiet Rooms song for Couples", which is actually an all cover album of the first P5 album "Couples" ... very nice
