這是我在日本理髮時那間髮型屋的職員送給我最好的紀念品。絢子小姐每天都會畫一張這樣的宣傳單,每一個漫畫卡通都能突出該員工的特徵,一眼便能認出是代表誰,跟真人很相似的呢!我覺得很有心思和創意,所以很驚喜,也很喜歡。
值得一提的是日本人的簽名方式一般是「寫名」。在每個卡通肖像旁藍色原子筆寫的都是他們的親筆簽名。
每次出遠門,總是覺得媽媽會不經意的偷偷多看我幾眼,縱使已到過東京好幾次。記得第一次做自遊人,就是去日本。那時與幾個女同學揹著重重的背囊傻乎乎的想去就去,父母也管不了。整個旅程險象環生,幸好最後都能化險為夷,成為人生旅途上重要的一站記憶。

每次去日本,感覺都很新鮮,國家雖說不算大,但是一個東京,大約三個月已變化很多,足以教人疲於奔命,樂而忘返:潮人最喜歡去原宿、涉谷;夜遊人可以到六本木、新宿;看風景的,個人最偏愛京都。沒有特別原因,就是鍾愛她的神秘,下雪時的淒美,感覺很浪漫。認識一個女孩,在京都住上一個月,只為喜歡。那種感覺就好像喜歡一個人,徹頭徹尾的喜歡,說不出什麼原因。
日本是購物王國,林林總總、各式各樣新奇的產品,配合精巧的包裝設計,再加上可謂全球之冠的服務態度,很容易不自覺地多買幾件手信。搜購潮流服飾,除了廣為人知的原宿外,惠比壽及鄰近的代官山亦是不錯的選擇,保證有意想不到的收穫。選購或參觀最新的電子產品,逛逛秋葉原、池袋,你會讚嘆日本的科技真是一日千里。
不過,給親人最好的手信,是平安回來。

Music, Movie, Musicals and Me
Music and theatre have had a close relationship. Theatre can associate with movie or musical theatre (musicals) and I love both of them. I sing theme songs in some Asian movies, such as“When I Dream” (theme from “Dragon Squad”). It easily recalls people not only from scenes of the movie, but also from memory. I love theme music from movies as well as songs from Musicals, especially Broadway. I remember I have fallen in love with Broadway since I was 12. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theatre; performers often sing and dance as if there is a live audience watching. Some musical films were adapted for the stage after their great success, such as “The Wizard of Oz” and“Fame”, while successful musicals also definitely received movie adaptations, i.e. stage-to-film adaptations, such as“Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Evita”. We can share our moments after all these years by passing through “Over the Rainbow”, “Out Here On My Own”, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, “You Must Love Me” ……
“Moon River” (theme from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) has to be selected in my new album "Theatre" although it has been covered by hundreds of artists all over the world. I sing it each time, it seems like a live performance accompanied by the pianist just in front of the audience.
“The Way We Were” (theme from “The Way We Were”) must be selected because it was the song of one of my favorite singers that influences me most, Barbra Streisand, and I won the singing contest with it!
“For All We Know” (theme from “Lovers and OtherStrangers”) was selected, of course, in tribute to my forever idol, the Carpenters.
