Dralion Japan New Big Top

Japan tour will get a new tent for Dralion!
Since Saltimbanco 1994, CDS have got different tent from other CDS tour, especially CDS has been shown at the white round tent since Quidam.

And next Dralion will be at the new tent. The shape looks similar and it will be white and blue, here is the image and the real one will appear next January.

Here is the description:
In Japan we have much rain and typhoons, the tent was designed with consideration to avoid any natural disasters. The standard CDS tent needs only one week to build up and Japan tour tend needs twice of time.

I will see the new tent next February, can't wait!

Dralion Cafe

Dralion Cafe is open at Shibuya Station. It is Dralion sponsor Fuji TV's promotion booth, the train car-like booth is decorated with Dralion posters, the inside is a small cafe corner and Fuji event posters and fliers, also you can watch Fuji channel.

This cafe sells the sour drinks which is now popular in Japan for its healthy taste. I had a sour with soymilk for 250 yen, good taste.

Saltimbanco in Sao Paulo

A friend of mine emailed that there Saltimbanco was in town of Sao Paulo.
He must be on business so no time to see the show though I wish if I could see the show in the Latin enthusiastic audience it could be nice. Also Saltimbanco is heading to the end of their journey, I might miss the show.

Alegria in Brussels -2-

I saw Alegria after 10 months.
My seat was at the first row, some Old Birds found me from the stage and waved their hands, I was really happy with the warm welcome.

When Marcos and Anton were on Bike & Plane comedy, someone touched my shoulder, I looked up and there was Tamir, both of us were surprised at each other and we shook hands.

Fire Knife Dance
In Europe tour, Moui Sumeo and Karl perform duo.
Now I can say that Sumeo has improved his skill, he acted very good without any mistakes. Back in Tokyo, he dropped his knife many times but I believe now he is in good condition, maybe Karl trained him a lot.
However the 3rd time of my visit, Sumeo seemed uneasy performed the first part and Sumeo joined him the remains though, I could see something wrong in Sumeo’s face. It was like even he had a fever but had to work in the show, I didn't have a chance to ask him about this so this is just my imagination though.

Alegria in Brussels - 1 -

On my first day, I took a cab to the Big Top. Of course I would make iteven I went by metro and bus though, I was afraid to take a wrong line.It was about 10 minutes drive, the white Big Top was seen in the exhibitioncenter, a lot of cars and people were heading to the show.

I love that white tent much more than a blue/yellow one. I took somepictures of the entrance and the fluttering flags nobody was doing that though.
As entered the shopping tent, I went to straight to buy a hotdog with cokeand a program. The coke was pored in a souvenir cup which has Maria(manipulation), the Old Birds and High Bar printed. I didn't remember eachprice though expensive anyway. (But fans buy such items).

It was already 7:30 but the curtain to the seating tent was still closed, Iwonder if they don't have animation in this tour. Finally we were allowedto go in, I found my seat at the top row in section 103.

And almost the same time a clown started animation, but ...Who is that ?Is he a new clown ? But here they have Marcos and Anton and Yuri, if anotherone joined just recently?
Then I noticed the clown has a big suitcase of Yuri !Gosh ! Now I understand that yellow clown is Evgueni, and it means Yuri is out.
