60blues Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Those scarves are ridiculously huge.... perhaps they are thinking someone would hang them on a wall as art instead of wearing them? They definitely don't go with the "suits".....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azad Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thanks for posting reswati. Oh, and Steve, is that a bootleg version of the song remains the same in Jimmy's hands? I can't see them properly on the pics but one looks like a DVD and the other a CD??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cecil. Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 So Jimmy is here to unveil a range of scarfs/wall hangings, which is great given his school background. Will Jimmy be doing any press or TV on anything more music related.? Thanks for posting the info, Reswati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Jimmy be doing any press or TV on anything more music related.? Thanks for posting the info, Reswati. Jimmy is here to attend a book launch on Thursday night. He shall stamp 200 copies of his new book and shake hands with everyone who purchases one. Thus far the organizers are maintaining a "no photographs" policy but it is hoped credentialed members of the press will be permitted to document it. I'm sure Ross will insist on gettting his shots.

Thanks Steve, if you attend give us all the lowdown on the event, I guess stamp means put his mark on the book in some form without actually signing it.!

My understanding is the stamp is a facsimile of his signature and if I understand correctly will include the date and location of the stamping. I do know for a fact the Tokyo book launch is limited to 200 copies. The tickets have a face value of 7,000 yen (about $70.00) but are being scalped in Tokyo at over $700.00 apiece -- and they're getting it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah thanks, 7,000 Yen sounds reasonable, I do not know any of the Tokyo Zeppelin fans but I hope they enjoy the event. 70,000 Yen sounds less resonable, but hey ho.!

SteveAJones Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I love Japan. Of all the places I’ve been it is one of the most civilised. You can wander safely in the winter, it’s freezing but at least sunny nearly every day and I can spend hours in record shops - and I’m not exaggerating. In Shinjuku I even bought a kettle, an old-fashioned one you boil on the stove. I looked at it this morning and thought ‘how am I going to get it home?' The airport security might think it’s a weapon. Kazuyo looked at it and said ‘Are you stupid?’ Hmmm, maybe yes… Ross Halfin, Tokyo, October 8th 2014 http://www.rosshalfin.com/diary/october-2014/diary-october-2014.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
