Osaka, Japan - July 2, 2001

Comments

First night of Japan tour 2001 started at 1900 hours in Osaka.

Members are Paul, Andre, Nicolas, Tonino, Diego, Patchai, Canut and Georges.

About 2000 audience was excited all night long. Nicolas voice was much better than expected, although he shared some of the solo parts to his brothers.

  2. Llevame el compas (I'm not sure)
  3. Djobi Djoba
  4. Un Amor
  5. Campana Suena (Solo Dire)
  6. New song

Back stage was very interesting. Although we had a language problem, we could communicate many things. To my surprise, most of the members could speak a piece of English. It helped me a lot, because I have only few vocabulary of French or Spanish.

All the members are warm-heated people. Nicolas already changed his clothing to a Jinbei (Japanese style light Kimono) and very relaxed. I asked Diego about Paco's absence, his answer was just because of "fatigue".

Fans in back stage were all women except myself, and I was forced to work as a camera man.-))

After that member invite a couple of fans to have a dinner with them. Then we moved to a Japanese "Teppan-Yaki" restaurant. They took beef steak generally except Canut. He took grilled fish.

We spent a pleasant time there having dinner, drinking a beer and wine. Then we went outside (very hot and humid!) and walked along one of the busiest streets in Osaka down to their hotel.
