Another nice room at the Akasaka--sometimes hard to leave and head out to breakfast, but we did. Up to the 40th and swinging around the corner toward the restaurant, there she is again...Mt. Fuji, for all to see. A little obscured by some haze today, but prominent, nonetheless.
A morning off, then to the hall for sound check and rehearsal. There was a little at-the-hall promo TV shooting in the green room today, but Bob did all the talking. (I made sure to head out of the room when they started asking questions about the others in the group--never know when the camera might point my way again! They had shot around the room before Bob had come in and caught me eating lunch and talking with some other folks...I hope Bob is more interesting than that!)
It was a wonderful hall in Tokyo and probably the largest audience of the trip so far. Great sound again and enthusiastic audience response.
Noguchi-san made sure all was right and managed every detail. It was an afternoon show, so had plenty of time after the autographs for dinner and seeing the town again (that was after I and the other guys got our bags down to the lobby by 7:30 for shipment to Nagoya the next day.
Last night with all of us there, so we walked across the street in search of dinner for us all. For the first night I could remember (except in the mountains) the weather was decidedly cold in the night breeze. Looking for something that would be workable for my diet and interesting enough for the rest, a vision from the past appeared--and we ate dinner at Trader Vic’s! Bob’s treat! Hilarity and good memories abounding.
