Rock4four: The summer season begins

5.1 Saturday, July 4th

I've had the coolest offer, from the cube car kids. 'Be at Kannai station, 5 o clock, Saturday, and we'll give you a ride down the beach.'

They are already waiting, when I arrive at Kannai. Natalie and I jump in, with Miki Ohara, and her boyfriend, Jun.

'Fox is spinnin', down the beach now', Miki tells me, 'and then I'm taking over from seven o'clock. We better get moving!'Jun nods, the car revs, and we're off - it's a straight run, down the Kamakura Kaido road, from Kannai. Traffic permitting, we should be on the beach, by six.

On the car's music system, 'melon', the U2 remix album is blaring, which gets me in the mood, as the car roars down the street. 'Who's DJing after you?' I ask Miki.

'Not sure - Fox and Yuji have sorted it out. A big name though. maybe Jiro or dj Tenjin. But the closing set will be Terry Tokugawa.'

'What? Tommy's brother?' I ask, taken aback.

'Yeah. Kind of a good will gesture on Yuji's part. Terry's a pretty good DJ too, by all accounts'

'Jeesh... okay'.That tidbit aside, we had a blast, zooming down the Kamakura Kaido, with U2 blasting out of Jun's speakers... and we were indeed at the beach, within the hour.
