Hello, Everyone!
https://youtu.be/KdvNd9HFXIg

I hope everyone is fine and enjoying in this stressful weird world and time. 
I updated my new video on YouTube for the Kyoto Cultural Art support for Covid19.
Since Covid19 was spread, we artists and journalists have big limitation to show our ability of Art and creativities.

Especially Shows like musical concerts or museums are prohibited in so many places.

Kyoto city decided to give out some money to support artists to create arts for Kyoto City who showed what we can for Kyoto city and living in Kyoto city.
I handed in some paperworks and they accepted my ideas that I named as "TENGUE PROJECT".

Then I created some videos which has music from NY and Kyoto Japan with Japanese sceneries.

As we have difficulties to travel anywhere. I hope you can experience my hometown kyoto how beautiful it is and how special it is with original music that is done by my friends.

Please support us, "LIKE" and "subscribe to my channel", so that shows more support to Kyoto city!

Hopefully you can come visit us soon too ;-)

In this video, specifically I made a music collaborated with Kyoto traditional Art that is called "Noh" play, which my friend from elementary school is a professional artists of Noh, and want more people to know about this beauty of "Noh".

Cleaning the house, and taking photos all over Kyoto by bike now too.Its too damn hot here in Kyoto Japan tho...! Please stay safe and cool~

Red Dragonfly(赤とんぼ)-Improvisation w.Tadao Ishihama@ManpukujiTemple in Japan, Guest Lafayette Harris


This is the video that I edited from the one when the legendary Jazz pianist from NY, Lafayette Harris Jr visited Japan privately Fall in 2019, He came to Tadao Ishihama's Concert in Osaka, and joined him without knowing what this song is.

Someone in the Audience requested to play, as it was late Fall.
This song is a Japanese Folk song and I believe all Japanese people know this, and can sing!

They played beautifully and spiritually.
Please enjoy as this is very relaxing and calm you, take you to the other places...lol

"Red Dragonfly" (Japanese: 赤とんぼ, Hepburn: Akatonbo) (also transliterated as Akatombo, Aka Tombo, Aka Tonbo, or Aka Tomba) is a famous Japanese children's song (dōyō) composed by Kosaku Yamada in 1927, with lyrics from a 1921 poem by Rofū Miki. It is a nostalgic depiction of a Japanese red dragonfly seen at sunset by an infant being carried on an older sister's shoulder.
