Taiwan live and some pictures
Good evening. (・∀・)
Following in the wake of our Hong Kong live, we had a live in Taiwan on 9/8. ☆
Thank you to the many people who came to see us!
I got the feeling that everyone in Taiwan properly listened to “Holy Grail”.
I was so happy that I could hear people singing along. (^▽^)
Since the rest of Asia is not that far from us, I want to go back often.
Frankly put, I’d rather go back soon than to return home to Sadogashima. (><;)
In any case,
Here’s some pictures of various things we did and saw…
↓On the way to the hotel from the airport
There were a lot of Japanese cars and signs for Japanese companies, so aside from the fact that we were driving on the right side of the road, you’d almost think it WAS Japan.

↓But the number of mopeds was incredible. (°д°;)

↓a temple near our hotel…
…at least, I’m pretty sure they said it was a temple (・_・;)

↓at a convenience store (Seven Eleven)
I highly recommend the eggs!
One egg is about 22 yen.

↓While I was searching for cup ramen and looking at various Taiwan versions of Japanese goods, it became dark outside.

↓Off to dinner ~

↓Taiwanese beer о(ж>▽<)y ☆
It has a light taste, so it’s very easy to drink.

We had this amazingly delicious dim sum for dinner, so I was extremely satisfied. (^-^)
This has gotten long, so I’ll stop here.
The second blog can be found

More pictures
starting from after dinner.

↓Century…
There’s no mistake; I just somehow took this picture.

↓we went to an area that’s a lot like Shibuya in Tokyo…*

↓I see, it does feel like Shibuya. (・∀・)

↓I did look at the McDonald’s menu, but I forgot to take a picture of it. (><;)
It seemed very Taipei-like and delicious.

↓The title has become like this.**

↓And now to the live!

↓Here’s the drum set!
(photo 8 of 16)
Isn’t it great that it was a lot like my usual set?
↓But if you look closely, the depth of the left and right bass drums (their physical depth) is different.
(photo 9 of 16)
Because the sound is different, I only used one.
Because there were two toms, I also added my own single head tom.
↓In other words, it was the same as in Hong Kong. (^▽^;)

↓But because there were only two kick drums, it became quite the picture.

↓Around launch time, there was a table with food for us. ☆
I accepted this red drink and my head started spinning too. (^_^;)

This day was ridiculously hot.ヽ(;´Д`)ノ
↓In the taxi, the air conditioner was on, but there were still electric fans in the back seat!

But the cityscape really looked like Japan.
↓Is this Aoba Street in Sendai?
(photo 15 of 16)
↓Look, it’s even a vending machine.
Only the writing is different.

Because it’s so much like Japan, there’s a good sense of comfort here.
I understand now why there are so many people who keep coming back here for vacation.
Everyone, please do come to Taiwan. ☆
In the end, this is advertising for Taiwan. f^_^;
Well, see you later.
*The area is called Ximending, and was apparently developed largely by the Japanese and intentionally made to look much like Shibuya.
