It’s been over 20-years since we started the Jazz Me Blues Band in Chicago. In 1984, I came from Osaka, Japan to listen to blues music. I had never imagined that I could play my music in America. All I had, and have, is love for the music and the stubbornness to continue what I’m moved to do.
I thank all of my friends for the support you have given me. Without you, I couldn’t be here.
Thank you for listening. See you in the music.

INTERVIEW "This is how you can juggle your passion and your day job" By Debbie Carlson
[ More ]Hi Friends,
日本のみなさま、お元気でお過ごしですか?
シカゴは秋に入って、夜になると暖房が入る日も多くなりました。今年の冬は例年よりも寒くなるとの予報、ため息がもれます。
世界が注目する大統領選まで、あと一ヶ月。大統領選が終わったあと、日本に参ります。トランプの下品な発言が問題になっていますが、いずれにしても波乱万丈の選挙になりそうです。
日本の外務大臣表彰(世界の個人、団体から日米交流への貢献度の高さで選ばれる)を頂きました。音楽や姉妹都市交流活動が評価されたそうです。照れるけど、うれしかったです。
