Melbourne - メルボルン/オーストラリア

オーストラリアまで香港経由で行きました。空に浮いてる時間20時間ちょっと。
We flew from UK to Australia via Hong Kong. We're up in the air for 20 hours or so.

イギリスから香港まで12時間。経由便を待つ間はこんな感じ。
足がむくんで仕方ない時の対処法。
It took 12 hours from UK to Hong Kong, we are waiting for another airplane to OZ in Hong Kong airport. This is how to get rid of your feed getting big on the long flight.





やっと着いた!長かった!We arrived Melbourne, at last!




そして、ちょっとの休憩の後、そのままライブ会場へ。着いたその日にライブです。殺す気か。今日は一般にはアナウンスしてないプライベートのショウ。会場はなんとボーリング場。
We had little rest then went to the venue. Today we play the gig in the private event. The venue is bowling place. We play gig on the same day we arrive, I can't believe how tough we are.






そして、今日は何がすごいかって言ったら、ボーリングレーンのピンが並んでる上のステージでライブ。お客さんがボーリングしてる時にライブ!ありえない。
そんでもって、ボーリングレーンを挟んでるから、お客さんが遠い。とっても遠い。
We were surprised that we play the gig on top of pins. People bowling while we play. 
and audience are far away from us, I don't think they can see us much.
I think energy exchange is important for gigs, but we can't do it today, people are too far away.






そして、ステージは・・・狭い!!!
Stage is ....... really small!!



立つ場所を見つけるだけでやっと。まったく動けない。過去7年で一番狭いステージ。
We struggle to find some space for standing up. We can't move at all.
This stage is smallest we ever been last 7 years.

せっかく、せっかくオーストラリアまで来たから、良いライブをしたかったけど、今までにないステージの狭さと音の悪さで、本当にお客さんには申し訳なかったけど、最悪のライブをやっちまいました。本当に残念だった。無念。悔し〜!

We came all the way from UK to Australia, and we haven't been here for long time so I really really wanted to play good show, but it was bad show for us as we didn't have any space to move and sound on stage was..... oh shocking. I'm sorry for the audience who were there, we really wanted to put good show but..... I was disappointed......





良いライブばっかりじゃないさ!っと吹っ切ろうとしたけど、やっぱり悔し〜!!
Sometime, we have bad show. Not always good show, but I couldn't get over it!!


オーストラリアは、インターネットがつなげる環境があんまりなくて、困っております。
でもできる時にアップして行きます。よろしくお願いします。
There are not much wireless going on in Australia. We are struggling to get internet.
but I will update whenever I can. Thanks!

  1. That's terrible Kaori. Who booked that place? Big mistake!! You should get some pics emailed next time, before you book.

    What a waste of the Go!Team's talent and energy. I can see how sad you all look on that 'platform' they call a stage. And so far away. Must have been sad for the fans too.

    I hope the rest of your shows down under are back to normal.

    Enjoy the trip, the only way is up, and don't feed the Kangaroos!

    See you soon.

  2. Hello Gary! Hmmm..... Yes we probably check before we book...
    Thanks for comment! I can't feed the Kangaroos? I probably can't go near him because he's massive! Enjoy English sunny spring.
