Bad Company - "Silver, Blue & Gold" from 1976's 'Run with the Pack' 🎸
"In the beginning, I believed every word that you said... Give me silver, blue and gold, the color of the sky I'm told, my rainbow is overdue..."
Paul Rodgers' soulful voice shines on this beautiful blend of blues rock and pop. The album has that mature sound with piano & acoustic touches – a gem from my high school days! The jacket is cool too.
How do you hear this song?

"I wonder if you knew that I was crying in the bathroom." A female film publicist smiled and said that to me after our positions were reversed. My “no gender discrimination” policy had made her cry. That day, Searching for Debra Winger destroyed my fixed ideas about actresses in Hollywood. — From “My Life in the Movies” (4)

立場が逆転したとき、彼女が笑顔で放った一言。 「男女差別なし」でやってきたつもりが、誰かを傷つけていたかもしれない——。
『デブラ・ウィンガーを探して』と出会い、固定概念が崩れた日。 Joe Cocker「Up Where We Belong」で締めくくります。

Johnny Winter - "Stranger" (Hello Stranger)
A mellow, introspective ballad with a haunting sense of loneliness from his 1974 album 'John Dawson Winter III' (邦題: 俺は天才ギタリスト 😂).
From Texas blues slide guitar to a more refined, listener-friendly rock sound with Rick Derringer. Perfect for British rock fans like me. His songwriting talent shines here and deserves more love!
Bonus: Edgar Winter's beautiful AOR-style cover on the 2022 tribute album 'Brother Johnny' (feat. Michael McDonald, Joe Walsh & Ringo Starr).

"Grand Funk Railroad's 'Walk Like a Man' from the 1973 classic album We're an American Band!
After years of UK rock, the pendulum swung back to powerful American rock. Soulful vocals, scorching guitar riffs, and Don Brewer's husky voice hit hard. With Todd Rundgren producing, they evolved into a tighter, catchier powerhouse.
'Walk like a man, talk like a man... You can call me your man.' Pure 70s energy! 🔥

My broken English worked best!Movie Theater Life Chronicle (3)
Back in 1994, when I was the operations manager at an art-house cinema in Ginza, Tokyo, our theater hosted the Sundance Film Festival in Tokyo.
A German TV reporter suddenly showed up without an appointment and demanded an interview. With almost no preparation, I ended up explaining everything in my heavily Japanese-accented, romaji-style English.
Surprisingly, the German reporter (who also had a thick accent) understood me perfectly. He even made me do an on-camera explanation... which later aired on German television — my cringeworthy English and all.
Accented English connecting people in the strangest way. Still makes me blush 😂

Queen Reflections – Summary Page is now up!
It's been 50 years since I first encountered Queen at age 14. I've compiled my three-part memories into one page: the early frenzy, the bewilderment during the A Night at the Opera period, the vivid reunion through Highlander, and the beautiful synchronization as a couple with Bohemian Rhapsody.
For those of the same generation it's nostalgic, and for younger fans Queen remains fresh and exciting even today.

15 Years of “Don’t Get Fooled” – Summary Page is now up!
Back on 2011.3.11, the Great East Japan Earthquake became a turning point in my life. Since that day, I’ve kept writing this blog, trusting in rock music and its counterculture spirit.
I’ve written what felt wrong to me, using rock as my compass. Looking back over these 15 years, it all led to UK Rock in the end.
The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again
We don't get fooled again
Pink Floyd - Hey You
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light Don't give in without a fight
“Listen to rock and you’ll pretty much see life as it is.”
