One:


The masked bassist decided to climb up on the PA stack and get to the terrace, where I was standing LOLing. I remembered I had a camera but my battery was running out - shame, I wish I could have recorded this historic event in a movie file!

The guy in a white shirt is an innocent bystander. He was asked by the bassist (named Vinnie) to hold his bass for a sec. And he helped to get the cable in place. Such kindness. *tears*

Two:


Three:

Here, the guitarlist climes up too to join the masked bass player. Beautiful. Shame, it was too dark, my camera was too slow, and I was loling so hard that I just managed to handle the "auto" mode.

Four:


Five:

The masked bassist is getting back on stage.

Six:

The masked bassist is moving too fast!

From NHK's special programme. Soon after the broadcast they uploaded the segment onto youtube.com.

They are on Iwo Toh (or Iwo Jima, 硫黄島) with the most advanced equipment to film the solar eclipse. The reporter said the orange band was 360 degrees aroung him.

You can see two tiny shade of pink in the middle - prominence. On the TV screen, they were far more clear.





The "Diamond Ring" moment.





You can see a hill behind the reporter. It's Mount Suribachi.

From some special live programme on TV. I think this is from Naha, Okinawa. I think they reported the weather was not perfect, but anyway they've got a special camera to shoot this.

I think this is TBS TV station.

Live from Akuseki Jima 悪石島, where they had a total eclipse. Unfortunately the weather was horrible (heavy rain) but everyone could see it was getting this dark.

Tokyo - where's the sun?

You know, today is a big day - the biggest solar eclipse in 40+ years in Japan! In summer, I usually see the sun somewhere near the pole top, but today the cloud has won. I hoped that some of the cloud would be gone by 11:00 am or so, but this is the reality.

I waited a little more. After all, I was not able to see any piece or shade of the sun during the eclipse. On the other hand, my twitter friend was in Shibuya area and took this picture below:

And people were tweeting "I'm seeing the half sun behind the cloud" or something from Shibuya and Ikebukuro etc.

私のいるところでは、空はずっとこんな感じで、何も見えませんでした。渋谷は雲の切れ間から見えたそうです。
