one sweet summer night

These days, I have been going to Shimbashi, where's located in downtown of Tokyo.
The trigger of this action was that my ex boyfriend lives there(still now).
Now I actually broke up with him, but I've been continuing the action since then.

Going there is to research about Japanese salaried workers.
Now I've been looking for their private faces with my friends in the same art univ. named MAU.
I sometimes interview them or gather materials(photos, images, or something) to make our web-site about the subject.

Then I found the nice bar through the fieldwork.
The bar named "Crow Forest" is located in front of the Shimbashi stn.,
and I also have been going there after my work.

Last Friday, I didn't have any works there, but I went to the bar after school with my friend,Hiroto, to drink and talk.
At first, I planned to go there with Hitoro and another close friend,Eri, but unfortunately, she couldn't join us cuz she felt bad at the night.... I was really sorry about that.(I'm looking forward to drinking together next time,Eri!!)

It was Friday night, so the bar was so crowded as same as every Fridays.

Then, I found a guy I've ever seen once before.
He's not only a bussiness man but also a singer, and he sings R&B, Jazz, etc.
We have already exchanged our number when we first met, but I couldn't keep in touch with him because of some reasons(the biggest one is the problem of my boyfriend,Mike), so it had been a long time to see him.

We exchanged greetings, but we didn't talk a lot.
'Cuz the bar was really noisy as usual, and I wanted to talk a lot of things with HIroto.

Hiroto and I stood beside the table near the counter(cuz this bar is a kind of step in bar), and we talked a lot, espesially 'bout NY. Both of us have ever been there and love the city.
I spoke about the romantic and fantastic stories with my host family, my friend, and my ex boyfriend that I met there.
He also told his memories to me, for example, about museums, plays, hotels, or something.
We spent a great time together. and besides, he even bought one glass of red wine for me!! He's really nice guy in both outside and inside. :>

Around 9, the singer guy came to us. and said,
"I'm leaving here after a while, 'cause I'm gonna sing at the bar in the building in Atago,
...so, please come and listen to my song if you want to."
and he continued,
"..and if you can, please join recording with me as a singer next week. I'm really lookin for a female singer!"
he said so because he remembered that I sometimes sing Jazz at school.
We said,ok, and he left there soon.

After that, we also got out of the bar and talked in front of the cool but noisy bar.
I wanted to talk about each other's love relationships, future, and everything, but also wanted to go and see the guy singing.
Then I asked Hiroto to go there with me, and he agreed to do so unwillingly lol

Then we started to look for the building together.
Shimbashi is generally one of the areas for bussinessmen, so the town was filled with so many workers on the way back home(or to drink). The day was festival night, so we could also see youngers exceptionally.

The night was unusually cool, and the sky was colored grayish navy blue.
Against the background of the sky, Tokyo Tower was shining bright.
We walked together as chatting.
The night had far advanced.

We could finally find the building, but it seemed high-class so we hesitated to enter the building.
but I made my mind and called the guy.

After a little while, he picked us up.
But because of dress code, Hiroto couldn't make it to enter the bar...
Then Hiroto said to me, "Ok, so you should go with him. I'll go home. Have fun!"
How kind he was!!
I was close to tears in sure, and the guy apologized to him.

At last, I entered the bar in the 42nd floor with him.

The bar was beyond my expectation, and it has amazing view of the cream of the sights of Tokyo.
It's connected to the restaurant, and it's undoubtedly exclusive.

To tell the truth, I wanted to go back then because of the atmosphere, but he was kind to me and helped me all the time.

There were more 2 persons except us where we were.
One of them, is a famous producer and a big name of the music world, named Steve.
And, I don't know another one's name, but the guy called him "Teddy bear", and he's really similar to it so I laughed.
In the end of the dinner, he ate "Tiramisu" by using a fork, but it seemed like playing a small dice with a picker.
They're really charming, and also good at singing!!

My friend is also a good singer.
His voice is soft, sweet, comfortable, and it has tenderness.
I don't know the song what he sang, but it was romantic song what is suitable for the beautiful night.

He and I talked about ourselves, our future plans, and ofcourse about music as we were drinking some glasses of red wine.
(In truth, I heard that it costs 300,000 per one glass.....unbelievable!!!!)
We also talked about our love experiences(including 'bout sex), and disclose each other's secrets.

I think you know what's coming next,
but anyways, we hit it off.

And we went to the shrine(or temple) outside the building to take a break.

Everything was comfortable.
Everything smelled sweet.
Everything was so beautiful.

It was calm and gorgeous night.

When we went back to the bar, I found two familiar faces.
They're Mike(not my boyfriend one lol) and my beautiful friend, Silvana.
Therefore we talked about our relations or something, and left there together.

I don't write what happened after that,
but maybe you know.

Anyway he said to me,
"well yes what I said to you was serious but I want to talk about it face to face.
Many people always want to be so fast about that but I think slow can make everyone see the truth.
so even about you, dont rush yet, you should know me more.
You should also know about my bad side too because everyone has 2 sides good and bad.
but also yes you have many men now that you see so relax and take your time..
Please tell your friend I am sorry and next time I want to take him to watch us sing...."

As he said, now I have a boyfriend, some male friends, and in addition, I still love my ex boyfriend in NY.
But now It's also true that I seemed to attracked to him.

I suppose, my love affairs will be more complicated.
The night has changed the situation, my mind, and everything.
