Going 'Back in Town' Again After a Long Gap!

Tonight, I returned to the venue Back in Town (near Akebonobashi Station) to take in a performance by singer-guitarist Masamitsu Tayama. Due to a certain virus you may have heard of, his last few scheduled gigs had been cancelled, so it had been quite a while since I last attended one of his performances.

When I walked into the venue (I was fashionably late due to work commitments), Tayama-san pointed me out to the audience and mentioned the interview we did back in April. Since the interview was published all in English, he told the audience that he had to rely on a machine translation to read it, but, because the translation lacked any sort of nuance, it was too difficult to read. 

After the show, we posed for the obligatory photos you see here. Tayama-san, his wife, and a few friends then went to the train station together, though we quickly had to part ways, as we had to take different platforms. It was another great time with Tayama-san, who is always a joy to see.
