I play music that is old and that is new. Some of it is digital while some is analog. It is from many different countries; sometimes it is loud and at other times it is quiet.

Good afternoon, james! Thanks for tuning in and glad you enjoyed the last week's JP-heavy/WW2-heavy show!

It was like I had some manner of time-radio that got broadcasts through an ether portal. Where else but hear am I gonna hear that?
Avatar 5:21pm
Mayuko:

ah, that's really great compliment! thank you james. I'm amazed how diverse music had been before the war broke. Somehow it moves me just to know there were people who were interested in many different kinds of music from all the different places, even during wartime and despite of the propaganda telling many of those music came from "enemies".

You mentioned censorship and other pressure during your breaks in that show. That reminded me of what I read along those lines in a college textbook on modern Japanese history I proofread a few years back. It even included a full-page photo from the late 1930s of a Japanese officer talking to two women in Western dress, and according to the caption he was lecturing them over their nonconforming hairstyles. Always men gotta be putting their opinion in!

@james that's interesting. and yah, I red that that's exactly why Noriko Awaya (the singer I played last week) often got into trouble too... she had her hair curled and dressed in western dresses... glad I'm not living in the time in which being normal is already some kind of statement. Although it seems old men still "gotta be putting their opinion in" for women nowadays in Japan still, haha!

Hello Stanley! If you wanna check out obscure underground music in Japan, I'd recommend Enban (円盤)in Kouenji 高円寺! It's a very unique place... www.timeout.com...

Are you planning to stop by Asakusa by any chance? that's my former neighborhood, and I LOVED it.

oh it's very true, Dave B, certainly still happens, it makes me really sick when I see news of lynching and stuff like that. I really don't understand.

Thanks Mayuko. I just looked it up. Asakusa is famous for temples, street food and sumo wrestling. I am so excited to be going to Japan. I'm going to a wedding in Osaka and, will also be visiting Kyoto. I have five days planned in Tokyo, which sounds like nowhere on earth like it. Will let you know where I decide to base myself.

@Dave B - checked out unagi too. I would love to eat some eel. Have you been there?
  6:19pm
Dave B.:

Yep. Make reservations. They sell out quick!
Avatar 6:22pm
Mayuko:

Stanley, if you ever go to Asakusa... and if you're a coffee drinker,,, there's a coffee place that's the best. I used to go there literally every week. www.tripadvisor.com... one of few things I missed about Japan.

Now I got this craving for unagi!!!
  6:24pm
Dave B.:

I WILL EAT ALL THE UNAGIS!

I was in the middle of taking 6 mos off of coffee while I was in japan, now that I've started again, I realize what a fool I was to not just start again then. :(

Hello Joe!!! That would be a very vague and slippery selection of music, which might have always been the case with my show anyway, haha.

I had to quit coffee & it sucked. I might have a cup if I was abroad at a special place though.

Or a Yaki-Imo show!

robert:

Mayuko: I've been tuning in for a while now, quickly becoming my fav FMU/GTDR show :)

I was there for 3 weeks late last year (Tokyo, Sapporo, Toyama, and Kyoto). Quitting coffee is a fool's errand, don't recommend doing so unless you have to ;p

Hoping to visit Japan again in September, will have to make up for it next time around :)
Avatar 6:37pm
Mayuko:

Cafe de Naniwaya in Asakusa, Tokyo that I was recommending is def worth taking back your coffee habit! (and I think he had other drinks on menu anyway.)
  6:41pm
robert:

Nice! I will try to check it out. My partner and I had amazing tempura in asakusa. From http://www.tempura.co.jp/english/

Didn't realize it's apparently a rather famous (and somewhat pricey) place, we just saw people queued up in an alley and lined up behind them. :)
Avatar 6:41pm
Mayuko:

@robert September is not bad though it's still a bit humid/hot, I hope you'll have a great time if you make it there!

always a huge delight to have a new listener! hope I haven't confused people though by playing buncha ww2 Japanese propaganda songs one week and noise/techno other week......

Yakiimo can totally generate a radio show, Dave B, just the season is wrong now.

northguineahills:

Ok, gotta leave. Mayuko, when I was in an US Armed Forces Public school on base in Japan, probably 60% of the kids were Asian, (or half Asian), mostly Filipino and Japanese. It wasn't until Junior High that social hierarchies developed, and even so, there were no racial boundaries there in the so-called "cliques". Once I got back to the States, puberty finally happened (I was a late bloomer), and I went to a high school w/ no social hierarchy, mainly b/c it was so large.

robert:

@mayuko: I think we're here because we appreciate the variety. There's cohesion in there somehow!

And yes, last year I was also there august/september. Rather humid in the south (sapporo was lovely though). But the undesirable weather means that flights are cheaper :D

I just like the yakiimo song.

Yakiimo song is the soul music of Japan, Dave B.

So is yakiimo the soul food?

@robert the first music show I saw in NYC after I moved here 5 yrs ago was Crash Course in Science at Issue Project Room... I was so happily surprsied that they were still active!

Thanks again Mayuko, that was a really fun show. I'm not sure the track from Madagascar used it, but there's a common instrument there that's a bamboo tube with strings running lengthwise around it. The first interesting thing to me about it is there are very close instruments in Indonesia and Timor. Another is that many use bike brake cables for strings, and I heard a funny discussion between players on whether front or back wheel cables were better. I think it was a joke, but you never know with musicians or more generally artists

Ah! Feels like I might have heard that bike thing in the lecture by Fumio Koizumi the ethnomusicologist! I will def look into that, very fascinating!
