Everybody wished good start to new year.

Unfortunately wasn’t not good start, you might read migrant sex riots here in Cologne. I don’t use much space for what happened here. Just problem is what happened is today official. 4 days they (media, politic) kept this in silence for any reason. This theme is everybody’s conversation here. Later truth coming out, surprising amount of criminal report of 560 new years change. Incredible and primitive.

Well, let’s hope better thing and each one of us think and act positive…. By the way I’ve surgery on February 10th, think about me!

Finally good news. Generally, I’m not able to go out except walking and visit doctor/hospital. If you have two artificial outputs, you don’t feel security, I need toilet just near and I can use when needed.

So, this day I could go out and celebrate a bit, new married pair arranged end of February wedding party then go for honeymoon. Quite good amount of people (all family members, work colleague and friends) war there.

Happy day for Suzuki family in Germany. My family is getting a bit bigger!

I’m an enthusiastic football fan, but not really for national team. Even so, I watched at France against Germany at Stade de France through TV live. Around 16 minutes later, first explosion, then after two times.

Halftime French president and clew went out, never come back. What’s happened? In 2nd half moderator of the sport program informed, there were shooting in the city and 18 person died. When game is over (actually, nobody was interested result) visitor run to pitch. Already this time, I knew there was terrorist attack 4, 5 different spots in Paris.

I didn’t continue to see the sport program, changed to News Channel to be informed much information until 3 in the morning I was researching, no I couldn’t Stop to research even through TV, I experienced real time. I felt like 911 and 311, there was some ugly energy going on. More worse when I heard many music lovers are victims of terrorist attack at Bataclan where I performed March 1973. This was a really horror night.

Next day, November 14 2016 (Saturday) late morning, as usual, I did walking. But, this day was very strange. What last night happened was everybody’s talk in town. Many people‚re shocked and seems boneless. During walking, I took the path I never been before. Full of leaves on the path, probably nobody took walk here for many days, even weeks. Leaves on the path was partly my knee high. It’s nice to step on leaves nobody step on it before, it makes fresh crack sound and it’ in Autumn.

After while I step on old roots or something invisible under those leaves , suddenly I fall down. This few seconds of the moment, I fall down was minute long even it was slow motion and I didn’t see myself from my perspective, instead perspective from 3rd person somewhere watching me falling down. Do you got it? I saw myself falling from someone else’s perspective. Even I stand after was very easy like somebody was helping me.

You know I’ve two artificial outputs on my stomach and I’ve no stomach muscle. I, instinctively thought need someone to help me. Normally when I fall down like this it takes me minutes to stand up. I remember once I had strange experience like this in Japan not long ago. We went to Onsen (hot spring) at Izu Peninsula. We walked around 2 hours, we thought. Watch at my pocket watch we’re walking only 20 minutes. But, we felt walking for long, but it wasn’t. It may some spots in this world time is ticking different way?

Anyway it was strange experience today.

Photo session with a photographer from Kazakhstan for “Musik Express” He has some project beside photo, filming and music.

I want go to Central Asia one day, I’d always interest in that area. Also, Siberia is interesting after around 50 years.

We had good talk together. I’m living quite same everyday, walking in morning, from 15:00 care services come and put me artificial liquid food, then 7 hours I’m kind of “chained” I’m not mobile, have to stay at home.

Don’t worry! I’ve anything to do always, also I read books, at evening I’ve daily cinema evening. Sometimes friend visit me. Also I’m fascinating soccer fan, I’m supporting three teams (Dortmund, Freiburg and Liverpool).

So, I don’t get bored. Important thing is somehow I make creative adventure, well….I see what I’ll do….

Two guys from German music paper “Musik Express” appeared for appointment make interview what Damo is doing nowadays.

We took walk through the park, was wonderful harvest day, sitting at a pond, swan family was enjoying sun in the pond, dried leaves swims on water surface.

Japanese band “Piqnic” visited me during their 1st Europe tour from Berlin. I know the road manager Yasuda who lived in London, UK for 8 years, he arranged me some performances among them UK tour with Mandog.

Piqnic is from Hamamatsu, here you can see their show at their home town. Hamamatsu is “music city”, but only manufacture sense.
