It has been so long since I last posted to this blog.<br />
Some of you might know my regular performances as anniversary concerts or Burn 2 live<br />
because the information of my gig have been posted on my Facebook page:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/hiroshikumaki.secondlife/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/hiroshikumaki.secondlife/</a><br />
<br />
Yes! I am still living and acting in Second Life.<br />
After 10 years of my experience in the virtual world,<br />
now I have been embarking on another platform of the next generation.<br />
Today, let me introduce you to a new messenger app called "Robin."<br />
<br />
・App Store<br />
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/robin-the-best-sns/id1316442177?ls=1&mt=8" target="_blank">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/robin-the-best-sns/id1316442177?ls=1&mt=8</a><br />
<br />
・Google Play<br />
<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.robin.aisystem" target="_blank">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.robin.aisystem</a><br />
<br />
<img alt="181115.jpg" height="345" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4897/30953417867_dc498c3fbe_o.jpg" width="583" /><br />
<br />
Just another new messenger app?<br />
You do not need it because you have WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat or Line?<br />
Well, it is not just another messenger app.<br />
Just hold down the chat text, Robin instantly translates it<br />
to one of more than 50 languages you have specified (as you see the picture in the middle)<br />
and you can also specify the time when the text is deleted from your client,<br />
from your friend's client and from the server as well (on the right).<br />
But, in addition to those wonderful features, Robin brings you money.<br />
The conversation you make with your friends using this app<br />
will earn you a "chat point" or CP everyday<br />
and that CP can be converted to a cryptocurrency called "GBT", which is one US dollar worth.<br />
<br />
Well, there are so many fishy talks about cryptocurrencies<br />
but, I think, the point is how many places accept the currency and how many people use it.<br />
A currency is valuable because it is "current" in our everyday life.<br />
As a matter of fact, GBT is a token of RIA coin,<br />
which allows exchange with other cryptocurrencies,<br />
and the places we can use everyday life is now being prepared.<br />
<br />
<img alt="180902c.jpg" height="345" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1850/42604483350_caaa002477_o.jpg" width="583" /><br />
<br />
As a first shot, a flea market app called "Exchange Market" has been released in Japan.<br />
Unlike eBay auction style, a buyer can buy an item at a fixed price.<br />
When a seller sets a price in Japanese yen, it is automatically calculated to a GBT price.<br />
When the buyer buys the item, they specifies their GBT wallet<br />
and when the transaction is done, the buyer gets a business point or BP,<br />
which can also be exchanged to GBT.<br />
Of course, the transaction amount is transferred to the sellers GBT wallet.<br />
Thus, the actual economic activities are done only in the cryptocurrency GBT,<br />
not using the legal currencies as Japanese yen or US dollar.<br />
<br />
This is a new way of our economic life and, to get a currency you use there,<br />
all you need to do is having a chat with your friends using Robin app!<br />
Why don't you start it with me?<br />
First of all, download the app from the link below.<br />
If you use iPhone, the link will lead you to App Store and, if Android, to Google Play.<br />
<br />
Download link: <a href="https://api.robin-aisystem.com/" target="_blank">https://api.robin-aisystem.com</a><br />
<br />
<img alt="181115a.jpg" height="345" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4862/32021484598_500750150f_o.jpg" width="583" /><br />
<br />
When you first start Robin app, press "Register"<br />
and you will find three member types in the next screen.<br />
Be sure to select "FREE MEMBER" so you can get CP and translation feature.<br />
For your information, "USER" cannot get CP and translation feature<br />
and "REP MEMBER" is for a representative member who earns a commission<br />
on propagating the users of this app.<br />
When you select "FREE MEMBER" and press "Next," fill in your personal information<br />
but, on top of that, you will find "Please fill the introducer ID" box.<br />
Be sure to fill my ID below:<br />
<br />
Introducer ID: A3348932<br />
<br />
When you are done with your personal information, press "Confirm."<br />
Then a verification code will be sent to the email address you specified.<br />
When you enter the verification code and press "Confirm,"<br />
you are prompted to enter your cell phone number.<br />
Before pressing "Confirm" button, please be sure you can receive SMS messages<br />
because the final authorization code will be sent via SMS to your cell phone.<br />
When you enter the authorization code you receive via SMS<br />
you can log in Robin SNS.<br />
<br />
If you are not sure how to register, contact me directly via Twitter, Facebook<br />
or email hiroshi.kumaki@gmail.com<br />
And, if you are interested in becoming a representative member, please also contact me directly.<br />
<br />
Finally, when you have registered Robin app, please let me know<br />
via Twitter, Facebook or email because you may not be able to find me and I either.<br />
I am looking forward to having fun communicating using this app<br />
and embarking on a journey to a next generation platform!<br />

<br />
The second day of Sound Camp 2013 saw RMO, REI-GIRO and mk2SR<br />
and all those units proved their music is very stylish<br />
and their talk is pleasing and sometimes makes us laugh.<br />
As the musicians who appeared on Day 1,<br />
they did attract the hearts of the audiences every minute of the show.<br />
<br />
And today is the final day.<br />
I will also play in the time slot between TAKUMA, vocalist of GA-GO,<br />
and weiß, masa Homewood's project synchronized with dance performance:<br />
both of them are one of the greatest musician in the SL music in Japan.<br />
So don't miss those shows.<br />
I'm looking forward to seeing you there!<br />

<br />
It all began with masa Homewood's tweet:<br />
"I want something exciting...<br />
What if I re-create my live house "Studio Dive"<br />
and various types of musicians and DJs play there every night..."<br />
<br />
It was not long before ten artists reacted to the tweet and declared they would join.<br />
And so did the event staff members.<br />
Everybody wanted "something exciting" in the Second Life music scene in Japan.<br />
<br />
Those ten musicians and DJs will play at the special stage<br />
set up in Aria West sim, in a location where Indianna Jones might explore,<br />
from Friday July 26 through Sunday July 28.<br />
In addition, Protege Karas will appear today, Thursday July 25,<br />
and give her DJ performance as a prelude to the weekend event.<br />
<br />

Hiroshi Kumaki collaborates with Kerupa in creating a fantastic world<br />

<br />
This is not a usual live performance.<br />
Sound and light will be generated improvisationally<br />
and fill the space where Kerupa's artistic productions surrond you.<br />
You can touch and sit in this event as well as see and hear.<br />
<br />
I cannot imagine myself what will happen in the event.<br />
I'm looking forward to sharing this time and place with you there. :)<br />

The time to celebrate Second Life's 9th birthday is just around the corner. This year, YMB will not set up our exhibit because our real life engagements make our one week performance difficult. But winds Seiling and I will appear in person at SL9B Green Stage for live performance. Please do not miss winds' marvelous performance on the clarinet and, perhaps, on the saxophone. I will back her up on the piano and play the synthesizer by improvisation. We are looking forward to seeing you there. :)<br />

Is Here, Safe and Alive!It was really a big earthquake.<br />Living in Tokyo for more than a score of years,<br />it was the biggest earthquake I have ever experienced.<br /><br />When it struck us, I was a moderator of a telephone conference<br />with an overseas branch of the company I work for.<br />I continued the meeting, explaining what was happening<br />in our Tokyo office to the party on the other end of the line.<br />Later, one of my colleague in Tokyo made a phone call<br />to the branch, she was surprised<br />because they knew the situation in Tokyo very well.<br />They said to her, "Because Hiroshi was broadcasting live!" lol<br /><br />It was not until 8:00 pm JST I sent mails to my family<br />and to my friends after working very busy<br />on securing the safety of our staff<br />and coordinating business matters.<br /><br />I was wondering whether I should stay in the office<br />which is air-conditioned and full of instant foods<br />or I should walk home because all the trains in Tokyo stopped.<br />But the train I take began to run about 11:00 pm,<br />so I returned home safe.<br /><br />As I imagined, my favorite CDs stucked high on a shelf<br />were scattered on the floor.<br />But there were no trouble with my home.<br />So I think I can sleep well tonight.<br /><br />Now please be reassured Hiroshi is safe at home.<br />And I wish all my friends for their safety.Hiroshi

in AvinationFirst of all, it was yumix Writer.<br />She wrote in her diary that she bought another sim.<br />It was not until I read the detail I found it was not about Second Life<br />but about Avination, another virtual world based on OpenSim.<br /><br />Yes, I remember.<br />Haruki Yifu recently wrote about Avination consecutively.<br />So the name was recorded in my mind.<br />I thought yumix's buying a land in Avination<br />would attract many Japanese residents in Second Life....<br /><br />Then, it was winds Seiling.<br />She also wrote in her diary that she made a foot spa<br />in the land yumix bought.<br /><br />Yes, I remember.<br />In 2007 many Japanese people signed in Second Life<br />and gathered at a foot spa in Ikebukuro.<br />(The foot spa in Ikebukuro is still one of the most crowded hangaout.<br />It's called "Ashiyu" in Japanese.)<br />I thought winds making a foot spa<br />would attract even more Japanese residents in Second Life.<br /><br />And finally, yumix uploaded a video about her land in Avination on YouTube.<br />Seeing the video, I found many people I know well.<br />They were playing very happily.<br />Yes, seeing the video, I could not but sign in Avination. lol<br /><br />But, logging in Avination, I found many beautiful ladies there<br />and the default avatar of mine was so clunky<br />I went for shopping to buy my shape, skin, hair and, of course, outfits.<br />And here's my picture in Avination. lol<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5179/5447354193_be8aaffa60.jpg" width="460" height="345"

Live at a Japanese Tea RoomLogging in Second Life today, I found it was time for Tomgirl's rap show.<br />So I teleported to the venue that was, to my surprise, a Japanese tearoom.<br />Tomgirl was rapping on a tatami mat, which was a sight of fusion<br />of japanese culture and the Western culture.<br />In fact, the audiences came from various countries including Japan and U.S.A.<br /><br />The music was awesome.<br />I know some of here repertories but all of them were played<br />with new arrangements with superb rhythms.<br />All of us enjoyed the show very much.<br /><br /><div
