January 1st

Well, it’s 5:22 AM, on the first day of the new year. How did you all spend your New Year’s Eve? I made okonomiyaki, and year’s-end-soba, and watched GACKT’s The Sixth Day & Seventh Night live tour 2004. Now I’m just waiting for the first rays of sun to touch the snowy horizon…

Kyoto at dawn

I wanted to share this video as “the first thing I wanted to see on the first day of the new year”, because, for one, it has two of the most incredible artists featured in it, collaborating together, and two, it’s such a wonderful performance of a beautiful song. What could possibly be a more perfect way to start your year than with this?
