Reader Photo of The Week on Oh Comely Magazine web

normally i don't often share myself on Twitter, this blog, Tumblr... whatever.
y'all know im a super shy Japanese girl. but i got a great chance to sing with my fave band Is Tropical at the end of August. it felt like another heaven. the experience surely broke something. i still such a modest mouse though. 
anyway i would like to share my pictures on Reader Photo of The Week" on Oh comely magazine web. im too embarrassed to see the page a lot :)

pls see it when you have time. have a lovely weekend.

October

recently i've been thinking about the lyric of "Changing Of The Seasons" 
by Two Door Cinema Club.
very sad love song, isn't it? 
but it matches my heart and this autumn.
 a perfect rainbow after the storm.
 my fave dusty pink.
 my cat is interestd in my new Nike x A.P.C. trainers.
 congrats Alice Munro!
his shape reminds me of autumn.

The Wes Anderson Collection Book Trailer

i've just ordered a book "The Wes Anderson Collection" by Abrams Books.
a worth buying, right??

Stay A little Longer @ Vacant

some ppl might say Tokyo's music scenes have been dying. i do think so in a way. it's true. but i know some young ppl are very interested in new music from other countries. my friend & i went to see Sapphire Slows, Nite Jewel & The Samps live at Vacant tyo last Sunday. it was presented by Big Love Records which is best record shop in the world. 
their performances were super great and totally chill. i've never been to L.A.though, but i felt the air.
Sapphire Slows. 
i have never seen the Japanese artist like her. she's quite unique. i'd like to listen to more songs.
Nite Jewel.
first, i felt she was smaller than expected. 
one of my fave songs "One Second of Love" was quite beautiful.
i luv the live version arrangement.

The Samps.
it seemed strange to me that they did not play the instruments. but it was totally fun. i danced a lot.

thank you soooooo much! Big Love Records.
i was so glad that this great music event took place in tyo.

About

My name is Kyoko, which means apricot in Chinese characters. I grew up in Japan and Poland, and now I live in near Tokyo.

I work as an aromatherapist, but I'm preparing to move to London where I would like to work.

I take the the photographs here, usually with iPhone 4S. I sometimes use a film camera too, which is a Pentax MZ-50.

I started this blog in January 2011 to find a new perspective and improve my English writing skills.
Then very recently I've started a Tumblr about my favourite London based band Is Tropical. It's called BAD GIRLS DO CRY.

All of my photographs are copyright to me, and I would ask that you always credit and link them back here if you want to use them on your blog. if your blog has a lot of big-name advertising on it, i would ask that you send me an email first. if you want to use one for any other purpose, please email me.

If you want to ask me, please get in touch, my email is abricot26(at)gmail(dot)com
