I love Shakatak & house music, and so on.

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year♪

...I listen this tune & Mayumi - Holy Night (1992) this year too.

Shak will join the Jazz Festival in Thailand, Dec 12, & they'll round off the buuusy year.

BTW now my place is such the image of this video, to make matters worse, we got a big quake last midnight.
(though there was no major damage in my place)

I wonder everyone in Shak is relaxing at their places now.
(I wish I could've gone the Shak's latest tour)

On the other hand, I'm freezing in my place, ...at the mercy of the looooong heatwave, shooort Autumn, too early winter!

Luckily I succeeded in the unofficial upgrade to Windows11, so I decided to postpone "linuxise".

BTW Shak will leave to Germany later and hold lots of gigs, isn't it?
...I'll listen their tunes with "the newly upgraded Windows11 laptop" at my place instead.

I wonder how was Shak's gig yesterday.

Shak's Japan tour in May was the perfect timing for me.
I'll have the tough things Oct-Nov, e.g. I have to challenging install linux in my laptop.

I hear people in Europe can use Windows10 till 2030 safely... I'm jealous them!

I just enjoy the arts of autumn.

That's why I'll put a link to this house tune (though not Shak's).
It was released in 1990, US.
Down On The Street & it have things in common; "Let's Dance!"

Both of them were the smash hit in US, I wonder that's Americans taste.

I heard this tune in Tokyo, 2022... with Alan's passionate performance,
so I didn't request it for Yokohama's gig, this year, on Bluesky.

But... I always love it.

It's the first Shak's concert I ever went to... late Sep 1984,
..."Wow, Keith! (really cool!)"
(I expected Late Night Flight or On Nights Like Tonight before the gig)

My heart has ached listening it or watching the video, but now I can watch his playing as a memory.

Finally, probably my place broke away from the situation this year!
But... I feel I've ended up becoming sort of the soft-boiled egg, body & mind.

I wonder I'll recover with e.g. this tune, just brain, a bit.
(though not Shak's)

I wonder how was Shak's 2 gigs.

BTW I hear finally my place will come to "the average summer" after the little heatwave on 15th-17th,
...I guess this tune will go well with the season.

I wonder how was Shak's gig yesterday.

Anyway, Japan is in the endless-heat-summer since May or Jun!
I'm worried that Shak will be able to come to Japan only Mar-May, Oct, Nov from now on.

I hear Tokyo has been 36.4C, 37C, 37C this month,
& my place will be 29C-31C for about 1 week from tomorrow.
(My place is subarctic climate; Dfa! ...the same of e.g. Toronto, Chicago)

So I'll put a link to this, for all people in the heatwave-war, though not Shak's.

Sure, I love I've Got A Good Feeling though I feel it's too airy or light a bit.
(BTW I wonder even now Shak's album, 45th Anniversary Collection are available within Japan,
well, everyone can listen them on youtube, isn't it?)

After all, my fav tunes are... e.g. it.

I wonder how was Shak's gig, Soultasia,
I'm really jealous there are cool, now my place is 34C!

BTW I usually listen each of them; Shak's tunes, house music's, acid jazz's,
though that's all I ever pick this & Ronny Jordan - Love I Never Had It So Good in acid jazz!

I've checked the lineup of Shak's next show, Soultasia.

Uh-huh,
I listen some tunes of Soul II Soul & Alison Limerick,
when it comes to Alison Limerick, it's house music... for me.

That's why I'll put a link it this time.

Shak will hold gigs for 6 nights in a row from tomorrow in London, isn't it?

Aah I wish I could have joined them too, but actually...
now I'm barely breathing, last weekday my place was 33C, 34C, 35C, 35C, & 35.7C, blazing sun, muggy nights!

...I went to vote before Election Day, after sunset, at the risk of my life.

But a few years ago I knew not at all on youtube.

...Most dinosaurs went extinct, but not all,
now the survivor's descendants fly through the night, floating on a wing, to the city lights, with the love they bring... & kiss the day goodbye.

The Shak's 1st tune I heard was this, always love it, but now hardly ever listen it.

BTW I learned the thing at school, it would have been the same as everyone in Shak;
"The dinosaurs went extinct long ago, then mammals & birds have prospered."
