Japanese expression ~13~　Ｎａｔｓｕｂａｔｅなつバテ

Natsu means "summer"
Bate means " exhausted"
As you may know, Japanese season is divided clearly.
And in summer we have to spend uncomfortable days.
Especially, (maybe) because of the global warming,
and urbanized too much, the temperature goes up more than
33 degree.
  Natsubate is the word when you are exhausted from the hot days.

In Japan, we have the custom of eating eel so that we prevent from
Natsubate...

 7th in July, I joined a piano club. This video is the performance
I played on the day. It's very difficult for me to play without making mistakes.
Art is something endless self-expression.

    Hats off for the courage to get on the scene and play infront of audience!
    How long have you played the piano?

    hahaha...thanks.
    I used to have a lesson when
    I was in elementary school.(6 years.)And then, I restarted
    to learn from 20 years old.
    Maybe I have played for 15 years
    in total.

    I just keep practicing
    so people enjoy music...

    I want to start playing the piano, but I think I am waaay to old to learn that. So, instead, I started on studying Japanese :)

    I will always admire people who can play the piano. I couldn't motivate myself to learn, even though I had the opportunity to. I guess choosing a second instrument(I've been playing the guitar for 10years) requires a bit more diligence than I've had in me.

    Keep up the good work!

    Actually, it takes a lot of time
    to improve skill. I just practice
    in the long run.
    Well,don't you have your recording video on You tube?

    I do actually. I don't play solo(I'm a bass player mainly), but I have a band. It's called "mindsedge". There aren't many live recordings, the most recent is from a rehearsal(recorded a year ago I think). Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3KZHkkZkjE
    Feel free to check out our others songs. You can find all of them on youtube.

    Thanks. We still have a long way ahead of us though.

    Those amps are pretty heavy, so we never put them on stage unless we're playing for an audience.
