「About July 22nd」
We did our performance at GG10. To George and everyone from the GG staff as well as to everyone who was at the venue, thank you. There wasn’t a rainbow this year, but it was a good evening.
However, it surprised me how it was such an unreasonably hot day. Before the performance around the time when the sun was starting to go down, we were playing catch ball with the baseball-experienced staff member K and kicking around a soccer ball with Taki and Kazuhiko behind the venue. Exercising in the warmth feels good. I tend to get all chilly from the air conditioning before our performances, so just moving around a bit for a change, my body felt great. But even though it’s this hot, the cicadas weren’t singing at all. I think last year around this time they were still hanging on to the trees for a while longer. And then at the end of summer, they’d be scattered about on the ground. Mmm.
By the way, it seems 22nd was the one year anniversary of Abefutoshi’s death. A couple days before that — not even realizing the day was coming up — I just spent the entire day listening to michelle because I felt like it. I’m praying for his happiness in the next world. A year really does go by so fast.
