I'm happy, and I'm singing and a 1 2 3 ?
I haven't updated this blog for a long time...
I'm back to Tokyo, after a week on the road between Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka.
I'm in Meguro, watching Morning Musume on TV, while listening to a Can CD. Perfect ?
Last week, I went shopping in Daikanyama and Harajuku (I'm trying to avoid Shibuya this time, I don't know why, but I can't help thinking of an ex-girlfriend when I'm there. So no more Shibuya !!), we spent some time with Midori trying to find the 'nowhere' Bathing Ape store which we managed to find at last (so, it's 'somewhere' :) I bought some CDs (strange selection, from Fischerspooner (there is a bonus DVD ok? :) to Can and Beach Boys) some DVDs (William Klein !! Tommy February6 !! Cornelius !) and some Graniph T-shirts. I met many cool people last week too, from David (who is recording a 'pop' album in Tokyo) to Motokick (VERY cool guy), and I spent my saturday night in Osaka with 5 (or 6?) kansai girls, drinking and talking and drinking more. I love kansai. After that we watched some Scha Dara Parr videos and a Woody Allen movie (Play it again Sam) so that was a good weekend.
I also met Kahimi & Cornelius' manager Ichiro Oka (one of the coolest guy I know), we spent some time talking about their upcoming projects (Kahimi sings Lupin Sansei theme song, Chocolat is being produced by Prefuse 73 (!!)), that was another perfect day in Naka Meguro.
But it's almost over...I'm back in Paris tomorrow morning, I will do a big update on this website, with pictures from the tour. And the next Digiki project is...

Wake up somewhere...
It's 8 AM and I wake up in Nagoya. The sun is shining today, after a not so good weather the past weeks , at last summer is here (maybe!).
Our tour (I mean, our MINI tour :) is almost done, the last live is saturday in Tokyo, in what seems to be a great place (Superdeluxe). This week end we went to Kyushu, which was cool and quite different from the rest of Japan, and then Kyoto, where we played in one of my favourite club, Metro. Great great ambiance here, good performance (I hope !), played more stupid shit, and of course Lupin on the beach, which is just perfect to end a show.
I love kansai (Osaka / Kyoto), and I would love to do more things there next time (next year?), things seem easier to set up than in Tokyo. Speaking of TKO, I was there yesterday, in Meguro / Daikanyama, doing the usual 'cool places to eat / cool places to shop' tour. And back to Nagoya, I saw a great Russian Avant Garde ceramics expo in a amazing museum near Nagoya: pictures soon !

these are really good descriptions of my style, no ?
and it's just the beginning :)
more mistakes to do !!

Tokyo for a day

Today I woke up in Tokyo, in a nice house near Ikebukuro. Yesterday I went back from Kansai to TKO to spend the day shopping but I ended up eating sukiyaki with my friend and falling asleep...so that's why I'm still in Tokyo.

I will post many pictures, comments, infos etc about our tour after we finish it. I think it's a better way, to do some kind of 'souvenir page'.
I just want to say 'THANK YOU' to all the people who went to the shows, to all staff involved in setting up things, to the clubs etc we are having fun on this tour together.

I don't want to talk already about "what's next" for Castellane and Digiki, but many interesting things are in the works... we'll see :)

So back to Tokyo: TKO shopping yesterday for...shoes.
I've been trying to buy a pair of Adidas Metro attitude for like...one year, and I still can't find my size !!
We visited the Bathing Ape shop in Osaka, but the new collection of Foot Soldier is not that nice...and still...no big sizes.
What about....Air Huarache? ;;;)))
do you remember these, kids ? I always wanted to have a pair of these ones and they have now been re-released !!
and...I...saw...some....
