NHK Film on Local Musicians
For those of you who were at Bar JET towards the end of July, the “documentary†that was being filmed is supposed to be airing on NHK at 8:00 a.m. Sunday, 20 August 2006, according to the info told to Taki. For those of you who were not at the bar during the filming, here is some background info. NHK, the Japanese version of PBS, was filming the musicians of the local music scene in the Okinawa City area last month.
Heeeey Atsushi,
Its Steve. I know you remember me from the Kokusai and the aparto we shared way back there in ’81 – ’82 . How’s it goin man? Bet you didn’t think you’d ever hear from me again. Its been a long time. I never have forgotten you. Send me an Email at screasy03@yahoo.com. Lets catch up. How’s your family? The last time I talked to you you had just had a child. Looks like youre kickin’ ass on the guitar, I always figured you would. Remember that time I got those drums and we tried to practice in that room on the top floor of our apartment building? I got some old pictures of us, man it was a long time ago. I hope this message gets to you. Lookin’ good man. I’ll be watchin’ my Email. Have you been here to the US yet? I want to get your CD. Im really looking forward to hearing from you. I sure hope this finds its way to you.
your friend
Steve

Hi Steve,
Although Atsushi played with JET every Sunday in the late ’90s, he normally doesn’t play with the band very often anymore. However,he can be contacted through the Taiyofu Orchestra link to the left. I’m sure he’ll be extremely happy to hear from you.
