- Hello Francesco. Thank you for your mail. As I write this I am listening to your music, on your "Myspace" page. It is very nice and I am enjoying listening to it. Can I explain my involvement, in the jazz scene. I research the jazz scene in Japan - events/festivals, gigs, musicians e.t.c.- then, each week, I mail my report to "Pure Jazz Radio", a radio station that broadcasts over the internet in N.Y. My report is then read over the air and included on the website. Please check-out the station; http://www.PureJazzRadio.com I also have a blog; http://purejazzradio-japan.blogspot.com/ and I also contribute regularly to this 'site. I don't have my own radio spot (but am working on it). But I do know someone who does, here in Osaka and, if it is okay with you, I will try to contact him, to see if he is interested in meeting you. I hope, while you are in Kansai, we can meet-up. Here is my address; s.b.sakura1@gmail.com and please don't hesitate to contact me. I will look forward to hearing from you. Regards,
Barry.

God bless you!
Haru,
Jaijai, what a wonderful mission you've undertaken to create such a place for artistic minds to meet and share their hearts. A place to renew faded determinations, and revive lessened momentums. A place to display our wares and reconfirm to one another that we actually are on the right track.
I commend you, Jaijai, for caring so much that you created this castle of the heart for all of us. I want to share my praise for all of the new friends as well as old friends that I've met and will meet here in our castle. Here we can garnish the where-with-all, the strength, the conviction, and the selflessness through our symbiosis, to share our gift to the world with an unbiased agenda.
My mentor, Daisaku Ikeda says of art: "A beautiful flower delights and refreshes the hearts of all people equally, no matter what soil it grows in. That is the power of beauty. The same is true of great art. It is this spirit that the German poet Heinrich Heine sang of when he wrote that once the peapod bursts open, the sugar peas inside are for everyone to enjoy."
Let's be audacious, my friends!
