Toshi Kubota and Canadian band in Japan

It was a terrible typhoon. Stupid me went out at the worst time, (I have to say I did it on purpose). While I was at the gym, trains stopped because of the rain, so there was nobody in the big bath (my gym has one). Lucky me. Tomorrow will be a super fine day. I like it of course, but I always think of people who lost their family or their house because of the typhoon, how do they feel and haw do they accept that fact. It would be so hard to do with such a blue sky.

Toshinobu Kubota will appear on the TV program Soul Tain in the U.S. They say this is the second time after YMO appeared there a long, long time ago. It's nice to hear it. If you don't know him, please check out his song and video here. I do not listen to his CD but I am glad to know he got such a big chance.

At my job, I could take this band, monkey majik from my boss. The band is made up of Canadian brothers and two Japanese guys. Their CD sold over 1000 in tower records at Sendai city in Miyagi prefecture, as an independent label. That is a pretty good job. Now they are trying to come to Tokyo and then go all over Japan. We will make a small promotion for them on our site. The first free LIVE concert in Tokyo will be held at the Canada embassy!! in Akasaka. Okay, I will go. You can listen to their song here. I like this, it's very nice. The vocalist is a Canadian guy, wow! That's perfect Japanese. Both of them overcame the linguistic barrier and met the challenge. Gambare!!
