「オーケストラ・バオバブ全史・全録音」の第10回を書き終え（全8曲の YouTube も作成済み）、第11回以降を書き始めました。1970年代後半は停滞期だったので、情報が乏しく、実際書くべきことは多くありません。また容易に聴ける音源が多いので、無理して全曲マスタリングする必要もなさそうです。

Almost Transparent Blue (1979) by #RyuMurakami – This evenings viewing… not the best copy… possibly a VHS rip… first time I’ve seen it with English Subtitles… youtu.be/2A4ht9igVbc?si=v7xc… recommended…

…potential for a double bill with Carnival in the Night (1981) by #MasashiYamamoto - youtu.be/ASKMvGjSjQg?si=HQjw… – also recommended

Ryu Murakami left behind one of the greatest bodies of literary work of any writer this generation. Almost Transparent Blue and In the Miso Soup are two of my favorite novels ever. More than any other writer, Murakami’s work had a hard boiled literary reportage even as the the content embraced aspects of surrealism and weird fiction. Furthermore, he wrote in a style that shunned flowery prose in favor of a pared down but highly physical intensity that channeled the feeling of the best thriller movies.

SINSUKE FUJIEDA GROUP『INFORMEL』リリース記念ワンマンライブ（国立REBORN） 近年海外でも評価の高まっている藤枝伸介のライブへ。スピリチュアル・ジャズと形容されるが、とても親しみやすい音楽。様々な笛も駆使する藤枝の出音が綺麗で（PAも良かった）メンバー同士息が合っている。
