Totally, we joined the Fuji Rock Festival five times until last year and we stayed just one day. For this time, it became the 5th, we decided to see all three days of the Fes. We left Osaka on 26th and went to Matsumoto City in Nagano prefecture which is the middle point of the way to Naeba, Niigata pref. where is the Fuji Rock Fes was held. It took about 6 hours by car from Osaka to Matsumoto. Around there is famous for Soba noodle. We went to Soba noodle restaurant after checked in the hotel. It took one hour for serving Soba noodles because the chef made Soba noodles after the order. We waited and waited. I ate the Soba noodles in 3 minutes. Very quickly.

We checked out the hotel in Matsumoto City at 10:00a.m. and arrived at the venue of Fuji Rock Festival just before 6:00p.m. We ate dinner at food court at the venue and went to Red Marquee stage which we’ll play.

Ate lunch at cafeteria at the back stage then did press interviews. Finally our show time had come. Red Marquee was packed!!! Soooooo many audience. I felt our 50 minutes stage set was only 10 minutes. I always become nervous befor the shows but once I go on the stage, I’m motivated and become energetic. Faces of audience make me brave. Thank you for coming to our stage!!!!! Yeah!!!!!
After show, we looked around other stages and ate dinner at the catering cafeteria. Many musicians from various countries were eating dinner. How international!
July 29, Sunday
There were 2 press interviews. One was a Japanese press and onother is a Brazirian one. After that, we’ve got free time. We went to the food court again. In these three days, I ate Pizza, Thai Curry and rice, Crapes, Samosa, Spring Rolls and more. Eating is fun.
We walked on the hill to other stages. The mountain road was very crowded. On the way back, we down the hill through the road where the people who has back stage pass can take. It was a little rainy. I stayed a little more and went back to the hotel.
By the way, I’ll tell who was my favorite at the Fes. It was the Answer from Nothern Ireland. I first 70’s taking time machine. I liked the member’s long beautiful blond hair. I was contented for Fuji Rock because I could know the Answer.

Taking 9 hours, we went back to Osaka. I enjoyed Fuji Rock Fes. a lot. Clean air was so valuable for me. But when I arrived to Osaka, the urban city with many people and buildings, I felt easy. I like my hometown…
