2024年、明けました。
今年もどうぞよろしくお願いします。
去年は自分の中で色々と発見だらけでした。
今年はその発見を良い方向に、そしてしっかりと自分のものして行くように頑張りたいと思います。
年末は新潟Jazz FLASHで毎年恒例の年越しライブ&ジャムセッションでした。
お越し頂いた皆様、どうもありがとうございました！
お陰様で今回も大いに盛り上がりました☆
翌日は白山神社に初詣に行ってからの東京への帰路だったのですが、ちょうど出掛ける寸前16時過ぎに地震が発生。
しかも凄い揺れ方。
直ぐにテレビをつけたらとにかく逃げて！と凄い勢いで津波の警告。
しかし恐らくこの地震で新幹線は止まると思ったし、下手にタクシーを拾いに外に出るのは危ない。
海沿いでもなく上層階に逃げれる建物だったのでその場で待機する事にしました。
ただその日はいつでも動けるように、服と靴を履いたまま暖を取り一晩を過ごしました。
津波の心配がなくなったところで食料を確保に、しかしコンビニなんかは物資が届かないので商品が少なくカップラーメンで何とか腹を満たしました。
翌日も余震を警戒し、油断できないまま何とか午後に動き出す新幹線に乗るために新潟駅へ。
混雑の中やっとの思いで新幹線に乗る事が出来ました。
しかしとんでもない年明けとなりました。
思えば、大晦日のライブ前のリハーサル時に突然アンプから音が出なくなってトラブルになったのも何か磁場的な影響があったのかもしれません。
先ずは被災地の皆さんのご無事をお祈りします。
The year 2024 has dawned.
Please work with me this year as well.
Last year was full of discoveries for myself.
This year, I would like to do my best to take that discovery in a positive direction and make it my own.
At the end of the year, Niigata Jazz FLASH held their annual New Year’s Eve Live & Jam Session.
Thank you very much to everyone who came!
Thanks to all of you, we had a great time this time too ☆
The next day, I was on my way back to Tokyo after visiting Hakusan Shrine for the New Year’s visit, but an earthquake occurred just after 4pm, just as I was about to leave.
And the way it sways is amazing.
Just turn on the TV and run away! A tsunami warning was issued with great force.
However, I thought that the Shinkansen would probably stop due to this earthquake, and it would be dangerous to go outside to get a taxi.
Since the building wasn’t by the sea and I could escape to the upper floors, I decided to wait there.
However, I stayed warm through the night with my clothes and shoes on so I could move around whenever I wanted.
Once we were no longer worried about the tsunami, we tried to get some food, but convenience stores didn’t have enough supplies, so we managed to fill ourselves up with cup ramen.
The next day, I continued to be on guard for aftershocks and managed to head to Niigata Station to board the Shinkansen, which started moving in the afternoon.
I was finally able to get on the Shinkansen despite the congestion.
But it’s been a hell of a new year.
Come to think of it, the reason why the amplifier suddenly stopped producing sound during the rehearsal before the New Year’s Eve concert may have been due to some sort of magnetic field effect.
First of all, I would like to pray for the safety of everyone in the affected areas.
Happy New Year!
