Playing the best of Japanese Indies and underground (and other stuff). Music you will hear nowhere else! Mike has been fired from every Tokyo FM station at least once and some of them 4 times! I wear it as a stinky badge of honor because FM in Japan sucks so much. Tune in! Be there!

My friends didn't seem to care there was no one there. They were ecstatic! David Nathan Weiss came (he wrote Shrek II, Rugrats, All Dogs go to Heaven, Lee Popa came (Metallica, tons of huge 80s bands. He has sold 44 million records)... So many more.

It reminds me of an old Bowie story I read. "I guess Bowie has an amazing fantastic show. The crowd went crazy!" After the show, Bowie heard that no music critics showed up. He sat at the side of the stage and cried. That's what I felt like.

Avatar 6:43pm
Mike Rogers:

A long time ago, I had a big part on an NHK drama (that means like everyone watched that TV show). In the show I was a pilot in WWII that got shot down in Japan. The villagers chased me through the forest and were trying to kill me. A family took me in and saved my life (because their son was fighting in the war too and they'd want someone to do the same for their song if that happened to him)....(Momoi Kaori was the mom - she is super famous in Japan)
After that show aired, my wife told me one of the mom's at my son's school asked her, "Is your husband alright now?"
She had watched that TV show and totally gotten into it.

Actually, Feldy san, I had my own show on CNN Japan. It was called, "News Wave" (Get it? News wave?)Really, so I was a CNN Japan news host. I did that for about two and a half years. I quit when I realized that 1) I didn't like the people I worked with (they were all happy when, say, a plane would crash and a ton of people would die (good ratings, right?) So, I decided that I didn't want to do that with my life, so I left. CNN was shitty even back in those days. Not all people I worked with were so cold and callous, but a VAST majority of them.... I decided rock music was better for my mental health.
