Show tonight in Osaka

My a cappella group, Utaurara 6, will be singing in Osaka tonight. It's our last real show of 2006, although we are planning to do a small, unofficial show for my friends here in Takanohara next month.

We haven't performed in a while, and we have some new songs in our set, so I don't have the level of confidence where you "can't get it wrong". I don't think any of us do. Our last rehearsal went pretty well, though, so I think it should be fine. It sounds like a lot of my friends are coming, so I'm pretty excited!

If I have any photos tonight, I'll post them after I get home. Just wanted to get this blog entry in, in case I don't make it home before midnight. :)

Ok, I'm back. The show was great... I had a wonderful time, and lots of friends came to see us! The food was pretty good too, and the people working at the restaurant were very nice. If you want to go there sometime, you can look them up at http://www.magatama.net

My photo-otaku friend Anton was kind enough to shoot some photos of us during the show. Unfortunately, he used my crappy little camera, and most of the photos will require a lot of time with Photoshop to make them presentable. After much tweaking, here are just a few of them.

"Lonesome Road"

Lito omoroi na.

The end of "Straight Up". Yuka rocks.

Here's me singing one of my solos - I sang "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "Mexico", "That Lonesome Road", and one verse of "Hoshikuzu no Machi". Alas, I was born with the curse of blue eyes, and it seems nigh impossible to remove the red-eye in any natural-looking way.

"I Want You Back"

Ok, I'm not going to post any more until tomorrow... all the red-eye repair and other tweaking takes soooo long!
