The other day, I went to an oldies live show to support my friend Ken, who was performing. The show was held in Otaru and Ken's band put on a fantastic performance.
However, the bus service from Otaru back to Sapporo ends early, so I decided to stay the night in Otaru.
I chose to stay at a place called "otaru yado", which is always affordable and comfortable, and one of my favorites.
On the other hand, my friend Shi-chan, who went with me to support Ken's band, stayed at a new hotel right next to my accommodation. What an interesting coincidence.
To my surprise, there were other acquaintances staying at the same inn. At checkout time, I thought I saw a familiar face, and it turned out to be my friend Abe. I was genuinely surprised.
I also captured the atmosphere of the live show in a video, so please take a look. I hope you can share in the fun.
Otaru is a great place for music lovers as there are often music events.
On the eve of this event, I went to Ozon Rocks, a regular at Otaru Garden, and Lennon's Sense, where I invited my important friends from Tokyo last year. I don't remember exactly what was so funny that night, but I was laughing all the time. It was super fun.
