固く冷えた こぶりのトマト
出来るだけ うすく切りたくて
といだナイフに くちびる寄せる
テーブルには こぼしたワインの
うすいしみ 窓を開けた
ほとんど空は となりのビルに
負けていて 一・二時間だけ
希望の待てる ひるさがりです
サンドウィッチに はさむトマトさん
もっとまっ赤に 燃えてほしい
犬でもいればたっぷり
つくるシチューも
本格的なソースも
やめて 電子レンジ
熱くならない
お皿の気持
となりの部屋の引越し
カベがゆれてる
私は慣れた手つきで
ひとり 電子レンジ
日曜日だわ
それだけのこと
Firmly chilled, small tomatoes
I want to slice them as thinly as possible
Bringing my lips close to the steaming knife
On the table, the faint stains of spilled wine
I open the window
The sky is mostly obscured by the neighbouring buildings
Just for an hour or two, they win
It's a midday twilight where hope can wait
Tomato, sandwiched in between
I want you to burn even redder
If there were even a dog,
I’d make plenty of stew
Even with an authentic sauce
Not today, microwave
The feelings of the plate that won’t get hot
The next door is moving out
The walls are shaking
With practised hands
Alone, the microwave
It's Sunday
That's all it is

Denshi Dub 電子ダブ
about
Dubbed out new version of a Japanese reggae classic from 1982 by UK-based Tokyo Riddim Band. Recorded and mixed by the legendary Prince Fatty in South London, it's a fusion of past and present, East and West.
(🇯🇵👇)
Three generations of female musicians from Japan come together, blending reggae drums, funky bass, and the smooth City Pop guitar, all magically dubbed-out live on stage. Tokyo Riddim Band is a culture clash phenomenon unlike anything else.
Championed by Gilles Peterson, and featured on NTS, Pitchfork and Bandcamp Daily, the group was born out of Time Capsule’s wildly popular compilation “Tokyo Riddim 1976-1985”. In just a matter of months they have sold out headline shows across London and supported Kyoto Jazz Massive at Jazz Cafe, conjuring a raucous, dubby dancefloor that brings the classic Japanese reggae sound of the ‘70s and ‘80s to life for a new generation.
Led by the inimitable pianist and composer Izumi ‘Mimi’ Kobayashi who featured on the original compilation, Tokyo Riddim Band are set to release a series of 7” singles in the coming months with more live shows planned throughout the summer 2024.
The first single, 'Denshi Lenzi', reinvents the Natural Mystic riddim of the original Japanese production, infusing it with dubbed-out vocals, sirens, and electrifying e-tom sounds, delivering an authentic reggae/dub experience with a distinct UK flair.
During the first UK lockdown in 2020, this album took me all the way to the Peruvian Amazon. This album's a great introduction to one of the main players of psychedelic cumbia, Amazon style. Each track's full of sunshine j j headington
Intoxicating euphoric ethereal psychedelic soul at it’s very best … and I do mean intoxicating, as the adventure never rises above heartbeat level, locked into a slow-paced groove bewitched by R&B inspirations from the late 60s and early 70’s that reach out of the darkness with an easy going vibe of love, joy and happiness.
