The books of Okinawa!

I started studying about Okinawa. Although I am an Okinawan sanshin player, I know almost nothing about the history and culture of Okinawa. I'm reading the books of Okinawa while I still have a time to do it!

Recording Sanshin!

Just put the sanshin track down with my brother Adrien! 😆 That was a fun recording session! I'll bring shamisen next time!

Jam Session!!

Brought my sanshin and bass to a jam session! I'm gonna rock out!

Interfaith Celebration!

I’m back from New York.

I performed for the peace meeting for 15th anniversary of 9/11. Well, fifteen years had passed already. On that day, I was on the road and was in the middle of woods in the State of Vermont. Very poor cell phone reception and no TV. We had so little information so didn’t fully understood what was happening to America. We rehearsed whole day then we went to a bar in a town, then we saw the whole thing on TV. My eyes popped out and my soul flew out. I immediately started calling friends in New York and wrote bunch of emails.

That surprise attack was not only to all the American citizens but also to the foreigners in America who live and work peacefully. The immigration law was revised tremendously and all we foreigners had to go through stuff, big or small.

Participating in this interfaith peace rally for 9/11 in New York City meant a lot for me. That was a great event.
