Rainy Day Woman # 12 & 35

And on a rainy Sunday we meet Nanako. We've made some pizza and talked a little.

Nanako is small and outgoing, very friendly, and Pollyanna loved her. She also loved her name. Nanako, loved the pizzas, and we won the title of best pizza in Japan. Modesty aside, it is deserved. And we are also spreading the banana pizza. Everyone is surprised and love it

Nanako speak English very well and lived in America for some time.

We talk about the bands we like and, for you who are curious about the Japanese bands here are two suggestions by Nanako: "Go! Go! 7188 "and" Southern All-Stars ". I already knew them. The "Southern All-Stars" is a band that is already on the road for some time. As soon as I came to Japan I saw a special about them on TV. The coolest is that they play different styles. "Go! Go! 7188 "is a punk trio with two girls and one boy.

Then we made our first experience. Nanako recorded some melodies. Everything went well. And for a first day of work the result was good.

Now each will develop their ideas and within a few weeks we will meet again.

On that weekend we started to work on some of Kit’s songs too.

With this vocal stimulus, things that were stagnant started to walk again. The biggest problem now is time.

Another source of inspiration is the new Brian Wilson CD: "Lucky Old Sun."; released this month. It was on the third hearing that I notice how good it is! It has a bit of the experimental sound from "SMILE", a bit of the Pop from "Imagination", the structure recalls "Mt Vernon and Fairway (A Fairy Tale)” and it even slide on literary ground thanks to Van Dyke Parks’s poetry.
