So, before I left Berlin, I purchased an album of my favorite band Scoobie Do, and I kept listening to it almost all day. I've been a huge fan of them for 15years since they were still just a college band.

I've got inked and pierced, so most of people think that I am kinda hard rock, punk, rockabilly or some noisy and loud music fan, but I am not. I love jazz funk, good pop music (NOT J-POP!) ad mellow music. Actually Scoobie Do, their play quite heavy funk music, and I love dancing to groove of them. And their chorus works are great, and I'm enormously hugely amused everytime I listen to their glitteringly-mesmerizing chorus works.

October, 2004, when I was at the very front row, the vocalist and microphone stand fell from the stage, his microphone stand hit my finger in the middle of the show.


The other day, I saw their show again, and my ticket number was really good (8th), so I kept right edge of the front row for protecting my right half body. The show was so fun, people were dancing to their groove, and I was just resisting an impulse to dance! But it was nothing, just a torture to me. And suddenly it occurred to my mind that this might be my time to see them, which I never though or expected. And I started wondering how many years would take me to make all the memories into good reminiscences. Never did I thought that I missed them that much. I was the only one with top-level crying at their show, I guess.

Their closing tune is always this, and this makes me weeping always. Great tune.

Now they are still have 2 more shows of this tour.
Now I'm planning to one on December 5th. I'm not sure if I'm well enough to go that far, but I am not satisfied yet! Their music is the best therapy for me, and their show is more than the best! Wherever I am, wherever I will be, even where I can't see them, I know they will keep doing their Funk-a-Lismo! It's sad because I have to admit the day I have to say goodbye to them must eventually come.

But as long as they know that I love them so much, I will be fine, and I promise them I won't be cry-cry-Rokko anymore! We've got many common friends, so I believe and hope this is not our final farewell. While I'm listening or watching them, I am just happy. See, I look so happy, don't I?


BANDWAGON A GO-GO! And the show must go on!
