And...... Welcome to Ojisan's World!!!! Hahahaha. Happy for J who celebrates his birthday this month! 30 years old! The last member who entered the 30s world! I wonder why but lately I realized that J seems so passionate and grown up. Compare to Nino that I can't sense his growth! Hahahaha. I'm glad to know that J could fill his busy days with his hobbies!!!
Happy Birthday, J!!

Matsumoto Jun`s Haphazard Personal Curiosity.
Vol. 7 Paris & London
This April, Matsujun spent a precious time together with Riida watching foreigner artist lives and stage plays, and also experiencing the art and the scenery directly at the actual place. He let us to publish his private shots of his trip to Paris and London on this bulletin.
At the end of April, I went to Paris and London. It’s my first. I always wanted to go there someday and I was glad I even could visit two cities at the same time. My purpose this time was to watch the musical shows or live shows. I realized that if I had made sure the timing of the shows, I could also watch that shows at Paris. And then I could learn art and other things by visiting Louvre Museum. I really enjoyed this trip as the continuation of New York trip last time with Riida. (lol)
First, we entered Paris. On the first day, we went around the Montmartre hills, Eiffel Tower, and other famous places in Paris. I bought quite a lot of things, but Riida, every time he had spare time, he always drew the design for charity t-shirt (24 hours TV). And on the second day, we went to Louvre Museum. I always wanted to see that Louvre Pyramid, and as I thought, the real Mona Lisa and Aphrodite of Milos was really wonderful. At the night, we went to watch live shows. On the third day, I went again to Louvre Museum and looked around the Apartment of Napoleon III. I don`t really understand about painting but I like to see the architectural beauty and furniture like that. It was very interesting.
In the afternoon, we entered London by Euro Star (International Express). We went to watch a stage play soon after we arrived in London. After that, we enjoyed the scenery of Big Ben and Westminster Abbey while we were moving to a Chinese Restaurant. We went to Abbey Road on the next day. We were also allowed to observe the Abbey Road Studios. It was a studio that often appeared in The Beetles documentary and there were also instruments such as a piano in [Lady Madonna], Organ played by Procol Harum in [A Whiter Shade of Pale], and many more. It was really amazing. I was glad I could come. After that was a musical theater-going. Just for your information, at that time Ohno was always drawing pictures. The front of that t-shirt`s design was drawn at Paris and the back at London (lol). In the night, I went to a concert with Riida. This concert was especially great. I could see many productions in season. In the morning of the 3rd day, we went to Victoria and Albert Museum and saw an exhibition of an artist such as a rough sketch clothing, rough storyboard of old works and others. I was impressed.
Though it was a shot trip visiting two cities, but we efficiently used our time. Both of those cities were a historical city and had good atmosphere. I could have fun just by walking around the city. What a beautiful city. What did I get from this trip? It`s hard to explain. But the great thing was could directly feeling it. It was really a good trip!
