My thoughts are with you Jason , I think I can hardly understand what it is like to be experiancing what have recently and are going to once you leave at the end of Japan.
I have read that book and find it extremely interesting. I look forward to your video series on it and hearing your thoughts after living in Japan for five years.
this was a more serious competition, so no J-pop tunes in this concert. Longer pieces - many by Japanese composers, but also a sprinkling of familiar Western pieces and marches.
Good video!

Here they call it 'leque' (pronouced /lek/). I thought it had, but can you confirm it has anything to do with Japanese?
You were born to vlog: no doubt you'll keep me interested, even if San Diego is nowhere near Japan.

I met Alex Kerr in 2005. He's an interesting guy. I'm not sure if I agree with everything in his book.

I don't either, but I think it will be a good springboard for a series of vlogs.
