My Philippine tour is almost coming to an end, filled with so many beautiful memories, thoughts, realisations, and even a life-changing injury.

In my last post, I mentioned that I wanted to share my thoughts on what love means to me.

“To me, love means seeing both the beautiful and imperfect sides of someone.

It means not trying to change them into your ideal version of who they should be, but choosing to truly understand and appreciate them as a whole person.

And even after seeing all of that, choosing to stay, to understand, and to keep walking through life together.

I believe love isn’t about possession or perfection. It’s about seeing someone deeply, accepting them for who they are, and continuing to choose them.”

And perhaps, just as importantly, learning how to nurture and protect that love.

今回のフィリピンツアーも、もうすぐ終わりを迎えます。
たくさんの素敵な思い出、考え、気づき、そして人生を変えるような怪我まで、本当にいろんなことがありました。
前回の投稿で、僕にとって「愛」とは何なのか、今の考えをシェアしたいと書きました。
「僕にとって愛とは、相手の美しい部分も、不完全な部分も、両方を見ること。
相手を自分の理想の姿に変えようとするのではなく、一人の人間として、その人のすべてを理解し、大切にしようとすること。
そして、そのすべてを知ったうえでも、そばにいることを選び、理解しようとし、人生を共に歩み続けること。
愛とは、誰かを所有することでも、完璧を求めることでもないと思う。
相手を深く知り、ありのままの姿を受け入れ、それでもなお、その人を選び続けること。」
そして、それと同じくらい大切なのは、その愛を育み、守り続けることを学ぶことなのかもしれない。 taken in Manila, Philippines by @manatodeleon

We’re back.

machìna [live] @yeoheemusic returns to @subclubmelbourne

Friday, 6 November. 23:00

Local support to be announced.

See you on the floor.

Korean artist machìna, based between Tokyo and Berlin, creates deeply personal electronic music designed for the collective energy of the dance floor. Her distinctive live performances blend modular improvisation, analogue systems, technology and precise vocals shaped by her background as a K-Pop artist. A regular performer at MUTEK Japan, she has also performed at MUTEK Montreal and Berghain’s Halle, and toured internationally with Richie Hawtin on the 2023 From Our Minds tour. Her releases have gained widespread attention, including “Respect” in a Miu Miu campaign and “choom” in Nike’s 2024 Campus campaign. Collaborations with Prada, Miu Miu, Nike, Red Bull Music, Vans and Shiseido reflect her unique connection between music, fashion and art. Following releases on Tresor and UTTU, and vocals featured on Bicep’s “Hawk,”.

Posting this a few days after getting injured. I’m okay — I just need surgery, and I’ll be back stronger 💪

I’ve had a lot of time lying in bed and thinking about life, so I just wanted to share a little thought.

“Life is beautiful, messy, and complicated. Sometimes it doesn’t look the way you thought it was supposed to, and that’s okay. Keep going, and always be brave.”

For my next post, I want to share some thoughts about “love.” I don’t think there’s ever one right answer to what love is, but I’d like to share how I see it now 👌

September was one of the best times of my life.

More than a ramen pop-up, KELO KELO brings together food, music, travel and community, connecting the independent energy of Melbourne’s dining scene with Manila’s creative community.

@highfidelity808
@shin.nosuke0117 I love music. That’s it.

@manatodeleon is the boss of @tokyolovehotel_translate

Born out of Melbourne’s underground scene around 2018, Tokyo Love Hotel has grown into something much bigger than a party.

At its core is a love for deep, hypnotic and groove-driven music — but what makes it special is the connection it creates between people, artists and scenes across Japan and Australia.

From intimate club nights and long-form sessions to bringing the Rainbow Disco Club spirit to Melbourne, Manato and the Tokyo Love Hotel crew have been quietly building a bridge between two music cultures that feel very different, yet somehow speak the same language.

No borders. No genre rules. Just good music and the people who live for it.
