Serene state of mind

30th anniversary day of Sing Like Talking is coming -September 30, 2018.
They are going on to a special anniversary tour titled as "Festive".
　Sep. 24: Osaka
　Sep. 29: Tokyo
　Oct. 8 : Omiya, Saitama
　Oct. 21: Aomori, their home town.
Then, concert in Tokyo is on the day before Sep. 30, so some people might have wondered how they are spending the day of their 30th anniversary day -so did I.
But information about the 30th anniversary day came up.

They are having one-day special exhibition, titled as "QUATTRO STANDARDS EXTRA- SING LIKE TALKING 30th Anniversary Exhibition".
This event consists of two parts.
First part: Exhibition of their music instruments, music scores and various articles related with their career.
To see this Exhibition, no entrance fee is charged -you need only drink charge.
Second part: Talk show and live performance by S.L.T.
You need to be a member of fan club or registered viewer of official website to get a ticket.
But as one of the avid fans of S.L.T., I assure that it's worth visiting just Exhibition even if you don't have admission for talk and performance show.
-Me? Unfortunately, I cannot go while I have other business.
The site is Shibuya Club Quattro, where they held a debut concert at, with Jeff Porcaro and Nathern East.
According to Chikuzen Sato, many of the audience came to this concert to see musicians from abroad, and they felt their position was opposite while they were leading performers
-He expresses it as feeling that being "completely away".
Jeff declared that S.L.T. would not make a hit immediately, but they would be recognized in the future.
And he encouraged S.L.T. to believe themselves and their music.
It turned out that Jeff was right -S.L.T. has kept on making release of songs they really want to perform under hardship.
Now, even though they are not so well-known like B'z and Dreams Come True who made their debut on the same year, their fans and various topflight musicians highly appreciate them.



Incidentally, two books related with them are coming.
・30th anniversary book
It mainly includes interviews about three best-selection album "Reunion" series, and photos at 30th anniversary tour.
This book is going to be on sale on Oct. 31.
・Cookbook by Tomohiko Nishimura "Oyaji meshi", coming on Sep. 24.
　　"Oyaji" is "father” “middle-aged men".
　　　"Meshi" is "meal" "food".
Nishimura is a son of parents who ran a sushi restaurant, and said to be skillful in cooking.
He has placed recipes on newsletters of fan club, and those recipes are published as a cookbook.
At Exhibition mentioned above, some dishes made by recipe on this cookbook are sold.
I haven't heard that Nishimura is cooking, though.
・A book about 30-year history of S.L.T. "Blaze The Trail～昨日まで、そして今日から～ (until yesterday, and from today)" is already on sale on Aug. 22.
