No strings attached!

Ian and I saw a fine show at Söder Theatre last night by Tokumaru-san. What a wonderful guitarist he is!

For the hard-core Nipponophiles here is a longer clip of him on a chat show featuring a visit to a hardware shop to check out the acoustic potential of flower pots!

The girl playing accordion, xylophone, glockenspiel and sundry toys was rather nifty too. I bought her solo album at the merch table after the gig and got a discount because she hadn't tied a piece of string with a special knot around it. The sales chap was very apologetic. How very Japanese!

Her name is Meso Meso and here's the album and more info:
