< Historic moment! Malcolm X at the Metropolitan Opera >

This day is finally here!

At the Metropolitan Opera House, the most elegant in New York.

An opera depicting "Malcolm X", a radical activist based in Harlem during the civil rights movement, has opened!


It was written in 1983

I can't keep up with the times

Although it will be performed
Although it took 40 years


The place where it will be performed

The Metropolitan Opera stands beautifully and majestically in the center of Lincoln Center, one of the world's leading arts facilities. . .

I wonder what Malcolm X would have thought if he were alive.


Nowadays, you can enter any Broadway musical even if you wear jeans and sandals.

The Metropolitan Opera is the only place where there are still people dressed up in dresses and tuxedos (there are also people in casual clothes).

On opening night

Malcolm X's daughter
Nas is a big hip hop star from New York.
human rights activist Al Sharpton

They also appeared in formal attire.


It will only be performed for one month, so if you are visiting New York during this time, please come and see it.


"THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MALCOLM X"
11/3 (Thursday) - 12/2 (Sat)
Currently being performed at the Metropolitan Opera

Official website is here https://www.metopera.or…

<Love❤️LOVE is back in New York! >


2019,
It's been four years since the "LOVE" monument, one of New York's symbols, suddenly disappeared on 6th Avenue at 55th Street in Manhattan.


“I want to take a photo with LOVE, but where is it?”
Many people have asked me this question,


In commemoration of author Robert Indiana's 95th birthday,

LOVE that disappeared for preservation

For a limited time from September 13th to October 23rd, 2023

In front of Rockefeller Center
(Fifth Avenue, 49-50th Street) is back.


There is also a "HOPE" monument nearby at 53rd Street and 7th Avenue.


Now you can take photos with both "LOVE" and "HOPE".


Both LOVE and HOPE are popular because only the "O" is slanted. (See photo↓)


Love and hope are unchanging psychology,
And this is the message the world needs right now.

<Autumn has suddenly arrived in NY>

``I'm going to New York, what kind of outfit should I wear?
Are you all wearing coats yet? ”

recently,
We have received many inquiries like this from many people.


The temperature has dropped noticeably in New York recently, and it's still around 10 degrees today.

Since last week, the heating sometimes comes on.

This week
It seems to go back and forth between 10 and 20 degrees.


Every year, spring and fall are very short in New York.

There are very few periods when we wear light coats like spring coats.

Summer is long;
And the long, long winter is coming soon.


Meanwhile

Suddenly, it's an "Indian summer" that makes you sweat even in short sleeves.
There are times when unusually warm days called .


“I’m going to New York, what kind of outfit would you like to wear?”
The answer is

"I think it's a good idea to wear a lot of layers so you can take them off and put them on."


At “NY Al Al”,

In the hot summer,
I was shivering because the air conditioner inside was too loud.

In the cold winter when the temperature is below zero,
The heating indoors is too high and I spend my time sweating in a tank top.

You could say that (smile).
