Sarina Suno Quartet @ Thailand Cafe

　実はサリナちゃんに大事件が起こってしまいました。このギグから二日前にクラブで演奏した帰りに階段を踏み外して十段ほど転げ落ちたそうです。その時に顎から落ちて、五針を縫う大怪我をしてしまいました。顔から落ちたというのも理由があるらしく、どうやらバイオリニストとしての本能が手と背中に背負ったバイオリンを守ろうとして顔からダイブしたそうです。こんな美しい女性が、とっさに顔なんかを守る前に手を守るという思考を持つように至った人生を考えると凄まじいものがございますが、長年の友人からしてみたら、こんな危なっかしいことはありません。しかも顎なんて絶対に守らなくてはいけない人間の急所です。打撃系の格闘家の第一目標は顎の先とコメカミです。そこを打つと脳が揺れて相手を簡単にノックアウトできます。その２ヶ所は、すなわち、人間の体の中で一番脳にダメージを与えやすい箇所なのです。

　サリナちゃん、君の根性は周りの万人が認めるところだし、同じプロ・ミュージシャンとして気持ちは分からんでもないけど、今度はぜっっっっったいに手をついて頭部を守らなきゃ、あかんよ。階段を十段も落ちて顎を打って、脳挫傷とか起こさなくて本当に良かったよ。

　そして、完全回復して本当に本当に良かった。

　この日のギグも根性でバイオリンを弾いていたサリナちゃんではありましたが、体の心配があるので、途中からトリオになりました。

サリナちゃんのブログ：Ouch!

The super big accident happened to Sarina. On the way out after she played at a club, she lost her footing on the stairs and fell 10 steps. She fell from her chin and it took five stitches at an ER to close up her wound. She said, when she fell, she instinctively protected her hands and her violin on her back. That was why she fell from her chin and her hands were saved. Oh well, chin and temple are the vital spots for human beings and also the first target for striking martial artists like boxers. If you strike a clean hit on those spots, you can KO the opponent quite easily, in other words, those spots are the easiest parts to damage brains.

Hey Sarina, we all know that you are not only a beautiful lady but also the die-hard professional musician, and believe me, I do understand as a fellow musician why you protected your hand, literally, for life, but I have to say as a long-time friend. You absolutely MUST put your hands on the ground and protect your head next time. You were lucky that you did not have a cerebral contusion or something when you dived from 10 steps on staircase and landed on your chin.

It was great for me to know that you were fully recovered from that.

She was playing the first half of the gig but because of her condition, we played as a trio for the second half.
