Concert / Rock On

Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon

It's been a year since the Tohoku Tsunami and it was a relatively sombre day on my end. Things seem rather "normal" and people are doing their best to "get on with it". A student of mine (not pictured) had a concert with his friends at the local bar. He's a drummer and a really cool guy. His band get together from time to time to play rock and metal songs. It's great talking about it with him and even better seeing them rock out. Their set included songs by Bon Jovi, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne (OZZY!) and even Michael Jackson's Beat It.

I'm a Metallica fan myself (admittedly) and actually find it soothing to listen to. I say admittedly because I only started loving their music about 3 years ago or so because of Guitar Hero: Metallica. I haven't been there from the beginning. And even though I've been in Japan for only a short time and not "from the beginning", I'm still happy to see it rock out despite the circumstances.
