miss you mika bat!

miss you mika bat!

I was very fortunate to see Theee Bat live in NYC back in 2011.
I met Mika Bat after the gig, she could not have been more pleasant,
especially after her amazing and physically demanding performance.
She was one of those people that you meet
and you instantly feel like you have always known them.

Sadly she passed away suddenly in March of 2017.
The world is a better place because of her life and music.
In honor of her birthday (11/6) and to celebrate her life,
her friends are having a tribute night (see below).

With that in mind I am sharing her emails from a few years back,
I was trying to get an interview with Theee Bat, it never came together,
but from her emails you can get an idea of how cool and fun Mika was.

She will be missed.

Hi John

Soooorryyy late reply and interview.

Your contents is difficult to answer quickly for us.
because we have not thought deeply about things.
BAT always do by intuition. (note: she meant instinct, according to their friend)
Hahahaha!!!

But this is a good opportunity to think for us.
Now we do BAT best!
Just a moment please!
Later Setsuko translate it.

Thanks!
