Edvard Grieg is one of Norway's most famous composers of classical music, with some examples of his famous works including "In The Hall Of The Mountain King", "Morning Mood", "Solveig's Song" and "Anitra's Dance". Although he passed away more than a hundred years ago his idyllic home in Troldhaugen right outside the city center of Bergen is still open for visitors from all over the world, and during the summer time you even have the opportunity to listen to live concerts every day during the summer from mid-May till late September.

Rising Star Will Menchaca Live @ Capo Fes in Shimokitazawa

12:38:00 PM
Last week DUKE CAPO in Shimokitazawa arranged their annual summer event called the Capo Fes, and several talented artists made their appearance. Among the performers was my good friend Will, who also happens to be an amazing singer.

Will came to Japan with the skills and desire to become a professional singer, and with fluency in Japanese he sure has a bright future ahead of him. For various reasons he had to put his career on the shelf for a while and as such ended up as one of my best-friend dōki (person who enter a company at the same time as you; in Japan most companies take in new grads shinsotsu in April and in some cases October) at my current company.
Yuma, Will and I

Will presented a number of songs, among them some which he has composed himself. Here is however his interpretation of the song "Want You to Want Me" performed at Capo Fes:

Although Will still is planning to work another year before his official debut he still has some amazing material out on the web already. For more information about what he is up to, please check out the following sites:

Gangnam Style & Britney Spears

10:53:00 PM
Well well, I guess this post is a little bit different from my other, more serious (?) posts.
But since I'm currently living in South Korea I can't help but write a tiny post about the most popular Korean song at the moment, the so-called Gangnam Style. For those of you who still aren't familiar with the song, here it is:

This song has actually become quite popular not only in Korea, but it has also spread all over Asia and to Europe and America as well. A couple of days ago the artist, Psy, even taught Britney Spears to do the Gangnam-style dance on "The Ellen Show".!

My classmates and I actually used this song for our batch performance during the first week at school, so I guess you could say that this song will forever remind me about my year as a student in Korea. Haha..
Anyway, what do you think about the Gangnam style? :)
