8th Vocal Lesson on Sep.27: After a capella lesson in Urawa, just rushed to Ebichan. On time. Lesson started with A-a-a-a-a as usual, then he gave me rhythm lesson for the first time. With both hands. One hand makes rhythm while another making different rhythm, at the same time, according to a note of the kind.  He gave me a level for the advanced.

@@@ Ebichan gave me "Sans Toi Mammie" this time, which has D4, which I am not good at, the highest key of the song. Usually when singing pops, singers switch to their own best suitable key. But this time he advised not to switch for the purpose of vocal lesson. Cannot make nice D4, but found I have some neutral range in head voice. Ebichan Okeyed if the voice in the range is supported by abdominal breathing. He says he likes my "Sans Toi Mammie". His advice was that lowering the key by one or two halftones will make this song just fit me. Will try.

A Capella, Green Tea: The lesson began just at 11:oo in the morning. I paid for uniform-dress, which Nemo-chan had paid instead  of me. Ogawa-sensei gave careful advices and trial to each of us. Seems I've got better vocalization than previous. Clear/partly not clear pronounciation and subtle expression required. Atmosphere in the group seems to have got more motivated for higher level.

To be a manager, or not to be?: TT called me by phone. He wants me to be the manager of his band, which is now semi-professional. Sometimes it has paid stages within the city or around. Difficult to say YES. Because I have no time. I belong to 2 music groups that also have stages in the future. Besides I  have 2 more stages by February of 2007, which I should produce. Looks interesting to join his band, because TT seems to know everything about music and related things around. He had worked for pro bands as a professional musician and later for artists as their manager, for a pretty long time. He invited me many times to come and see how they play. So this time I promised to see his band in mid-October.
