桑田佳祐的Rock每次聽都有一種很開心很開心，又很振奮的感覺。他的歌聲具有特殊的亮度跟磁性，他的歌總是讓人或精神一振或感動不已。他的真夏の果実、メロディ被日本國內和亞洲各地無數歌手翻唱過，即使沒聽過日文原曲的人也一定都聽過其他翻唱版本。我喜歡他的每首歌：心を込めて花束を、明日晴れるかな、メロディ、涙のキス、真夏の果実、Tsunami…等等等難以計數。2008年南方之星サザンオールスターズ宣布2009年起無限期停止活動的時候還超級震驚了一下。 2010年桑田佳祐宣布罹患早期食道癌，休息了一陣子，不過他可沒離開舞台，經過食道癌手術跟休養他又回來啦。
這個在日本樂壇永垂不朽的人物,希望他能繼續唱下去。喔～誰告訴我他哪時候有演唱會，買機票也要飛過去。

Caught up with the final 2nd show in Indoor stadium, I went to see the Musical of Notre Dame. The audience was more than I expected. Though the stadium seemed to be too empty and simple for the musical performance. Some local audience still needs more education about manners in this kind of place. People came in casual as if they were going to the movies. They ate sandwiches and drank coca cola in the theater. This is an old problem I have noticed here. Even in Esplanade concert hall, some people wear in sandals and cross and shake legs. That's not illegal but it is about proper manners. 
This musical is designed of the best sound and lighting effect. Kind of break-through the tradition way of performance. With most of the original cast singing all the songs in French lyrics, all the conversations are translated by songs instead of speaking. The songs are either romantic or imposing. It is good to listen to the French one as the background is in old Paris, French lyrics make it more original. A bit different from the other musicals like CAT or RENT, the performance adapts a lot of modern dance and visual arts conducted by technology. Actors are bumping from floor to the ceiling with the ropes and alertly crawling cross the walls. The background dancers dancing under the flashy spotlight to express the conflicts between iniquity and conscience of the character really explains a lot. The entirely visual and aural stimulation on the stage was fantastic! They open the musical information on the web http://www.notredame.com.sg/ I look forward to the play of phantom of the opera next March. Hope to see more civil audience there then.

3rd week of Mar is the Mosaic Music Festival in Sg. This is a fantastic and exciting season for music. A lot of good musicians and singers came from all over the world. Last nite we headed for the NYC Urban beats. It is a program for a Chill group called Si*Se’. Combined of soul and hi-hop and latin style, with the renovation of the theater studio in to a music bar concept, the audience drink, chat and dance with the music and songs. It was a great night. To keep a note of it, I copied the group’s information. NYC Urban beats
Si*Sé 
Groove to the New York sounds of Si*Sé. B lending hip-hop beats, down-tempo electronica, soul and Latin rhythms, Si*Sé was formed by stunning Spanish-English singer/DJ Carol C. and programmer/producer/DJ Cliff Cristofaro, aka U.F.LOW, a b-boy minimalist armed with a single MPC drum machine. Joining them are viola player Jeannie Oliver, percussionist Neil Ochoa, bassist Morgan Phillips, and drummer Ryan Farley to add an eclectic live punch to songs that range from deep drum 'n' bass to futuristic Latin ritmos and beyond. As Carol says, "We're a band from New York, so we tried to blend all of the city's musical traditions. Those are the sounds that we hear every day of our lives. It's a prelude to the future."
