I live in Yokohama almost three years and never been to Sankeien garden. Yesterday my company took me there, organizing hanami picnic. It was easy to predict that nobody will stand +7° sitting on the ground without shoes though...

This time few photos from Hakuba.

Not at all, they play in stereo. I've been to their last show in Japan before going to European tour. Band is called Mono. Heavy cacophony of serious sounds made great impression on my last year, on Fuji Rock Festival. This music suits more to club darkness than summer afternoon in the woods though. They play long and mysterious etudes. The only vocal they emitted was cheerful shout backstage after finishing the gig.

Their new video promotes this years album. Highly recommended.
