Jazz Concert

We went to a Jazz concert at Jack London square in Oakland on a sunny weekend. John Santos Sextet played beautiful Latin Jazz. I love Latin Jazz in outdoor concert, because it is fun to dance with it, not just sitting on the chair. Toddlers are the best dancers! When the music plays, their body is already moving. They were so cute!

 よく晴れた週末にオークランドのジャックロンドンスクエアでジャズのコンサートがありました。John Santos Sextetが、素晴らしいラテンジャズを演奏してくれました。陽気なラテンジャズのリズムは屋外のコンサートにぴったり。コンサートホールの椅子にじっと座っているより、音楽と一緒に踊った方が絶対に楽しい！赤ちゃんはやはり一番のダンサーですね。音楽が流れ出すと、自然に体が動きだしている。とっても可愛いかった〜！

Love & Peace Inside

I found a nice song on YouTube. It is sung by a Japanese popular pop group called SMAP. I wish if they are better at singing... But the lyric is so nice.

Love & Peace Inside? (The link to YouTube)

"So many people wish peace in the world, but why don't people end wars?"

Right after we talked about it, we started a fight for a trifling matter.

Then, we were so upset that we stopped talking to each other.

We don't look like the ones who wish peace in the world.

We realized that our hearts are our world.

Our world that never stop fighting is the reflection of our hearts that never stop fighting.

If I change myself for better, the world will change for better, too.

We can bring peace to the world like that, in the way that nobody has ever imagined.

I'm going to change myself and I promise myself that I'll become the one who never have a fight for a trifling matter.

So I'll always ask myself,

"Do I have Love & Peace inside me?

ユーチューブで、スマップ＋槙原コンビの曲を見つけました。”世界でひとつだけの花”も大好きですが、この曲も素晴らしい！スマップにもうちょっと歌唱力があったら、、、と思ってしまいますが、この曲なら許しましょう！
