JAPANESE ENGLISH
7 January 2007, Stockholm, Sweden

Thanks to my Japanese ABBA friend Reiko in Sweden, I could have this precious time there. The sounds of Swedish MM is the best of all MM in verious languages I have ever seen. Of course, it is the best in singing, too. We appreciate this in listening to Swedish MM CD. If you listen to ABBA songs using headphones, you notice some unusual sounds. Yes, the orchestra in Swedish MM has it. I have no idea what I should explain it, besides I am not good at speaking English, but I can say that the sounds of Swedish MM has a lot of depth. Now I am used to listening to KARAOKE(non-orchestra bit / sounds with recording tape) MM in Osaka, Japan so there is nothing more I wish.


After the show we were gazing into the orchestra bit and found Bjorn was takling friendly with a man. Reiko found him as a backmember of ABBA in Japan tour in 80. Yes, since she is just a walking encyclopedia of ABBA in Japan at that time. She quickly recognized him who he was. Mr. Rutger Gunnarsson!. After coming back to Tokyo I finally found him in the programme of Japan tour at last. Oh what a wonderful thing!. We have certainly heard ABBA's sound through MM.


Next day I felt sad seeing from the window of the hotel, the signboards or flags of Mamma mia at the Circus put away. Only three times that I saw Swedish MM. It is unlucky for me to see MM in Sweden takes about 20 hours while I can go and see MM in Osaka easily in 3 hours.
Thinking about many things, I just walked around in my hotel and found the newspaper at the reception. Agnetha...! What was that?.


What a wonderful thing!. The newspaper tells her smiling to the public. I did not understand what the description in Swedish means. After I am back here I see it clearly. Agnetha was there!. Oh, That is great!.
