sensya na sa presentation, ako lang naman kasi ang kakain.
wala nang luto-luto di ba, just add a dash of wasabi and toyo to the tofu and raw tuna
serve with steaming hot koshi-hikari, and a nicely chilled hakkai-san!
kanpai!

Nara in music

Fantômas - the name struck me, at the CD rental store. It sounded like this tasty Lechon sauce that we all love! I pulled it out of the rack and behold, it had loads of Nara in it! I am referrring to Nara Yoshitomo's children, who make up the illustrations in this concept album. What a treat!

There are 30 tracks in "Suspended Animation" - each one for a day in April 2005. A timely find, as my birthday is in April. There are 30 illustrations for each calendar day with the music to match. Huwaw-waw-wee!

Fantômas was formed by Faith No More's singer - ayon sa allmusic guide. Kaya pala ganun yung mga gitara. I'll post some tracks at my multiply. Galing...

空はまうで − the sky, just like...

I usually find myself humming this tune on a sunny morning, on my way to work.



Monkey Majik

More shamisen music coming at ya!

Here are the awesome Yoshida Brothers and Monkey Majik (brothers too!) Canadian J-Rock meets Shamisen J-Rock!

nakaka-miss! なつかしいいい！

Neua Nam Tok, one of my Thai staples. I thought of making this yesterday and bought all the ingredients at an Asian store. Ang sarrap, at the same time I was relishing my Bangkok days! All you need is a bunch of kaffir lime leaves, mint leaves, coriander leaves, fresh lime juice , chilli peppers, shallots, sugar, ground pepper, roasted rice powder and patis then mix it with slices of grilled beef!
