Back from Shirakawa-Go, I have been looking on the web at Unesco sites I haven’t visited yet in Japan.
Looking at the list below from the Unesco website,
I realised that I have not seen much yet…

Next will be this Ryukyu Island near Ishigaki, I guess…

GO!GO!7188 latest Album: 鬣（tategami), released Feb 2003. I first discovered the band watching TV and the SpaceShower TV programs. Still looking for the successor of Sheena Ringo in my personal chart, I happened to view the video-clip of the first single (うきふね）. I immediatly loved the combination of the visual and the modern traditional (japanese paradox?) composition of the song. There was something of Sheena Ringo in Yuu and Akko’s voices. I immediatly bought the album at the first HMV I could find (no big deal, shibuya is the closest one). It can appear as a bit too much basic Rock’n’Roll, but de-structured enough to keep your ears interested. It’s vivid energy, and should be fun in concert… Japanese good rock bands are unfortunatly quite rare…
