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.

Here's why dead bodies are buried under the cherry trees, in Japan anyway. Probably not in DC (where the picture was taken) intranslation.brooklynrail.org...

"March 27, 1912, gift of Japanese cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City to the city of Washington. Mayor Ozaki donated the trees in an effort to enhance the growing friendship between the United States and Japan and also celebrate the continued close relationship between the two nations."

I think I heard that those cherry blossoms in DC are all clones...

I'm tuning in live for a change, it's a holiday here so why not? I'll quit halfway through or so though, I should, so maybe. Wisdom isn't my strong suit

oh, I keep forgetting about easter, just cos I don't have the custom to celebrate it. Happy easter! (whatever that means....)

Cherry trees will only live about 40 years or so naturally...
Avatar 5:39pm
Mayuko:

oh, that's the average lifetime? I guess it also depends on what kind of sakura. I seem to remember there is(was?) 2000 yr old or so cherry blossom tree in Japan but I don't think it's the same kind in DC.

Right, the reason why I don't listen live every week: neighbors. Switching to headphones now, but that sucks because my left ear isn't working at all

Mayuko, there's something amiss with the youtube URL. There's some wfmu.org biz in front of it.

Okinawa music ranges wider than advertised, which is right. I did talk with a few people about Ainu music, one who's a scholar about Siberia and one skilled about Minyo. It probably won't amount to anything, but I'm trying

Years ago, in the 90's, I had my mother knit a sweater with the YMO logo in front and the guys names in the back, in Japanese. I was a serious fan back then
Avatar 6:05pm
Mayuko:

Did noise music do that to your left ear, fred? and re:Okinawa music, I think you're right - it probably defers from island to island, maybe like in Indonesia. That track sounded pretty main-islandish to me, but maybe just her style of performing it makes it so.

welcome, coelacanth, Carmichael! happy to have you here!

My left ear was shot from birth, there's no blaming music, just a malformed eustachian tube
Avatar 6:11pm
Mayuko:

& hallo, Webhamster Henry! I went to that sakura festival the first spring I had in NYC - and was a little disappointed, only because it wasn't the kind of cherry blossom I wanted to see (which are the ones in DC.) That Brooklyn cherry blossoms were very pretty too, though. It just doesn't have that particular sakura madness, no dead bodies buried under em, haha.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:13pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Thanks, Mayuko & Dave B. I need to drive over to the library now. I entered my son's name and he won a gift basket. Have a good week!
Avatar 6:15pm
Mayuko:

I became a serious YMO fan after seeing their reunion show in early 90's too. For me Ryuichi stuff was best in the 80's, I think...
Avatar 6:16pm
Mayuko:

Have a good week and holiday to you too, Ken! Congrats on the gift basket!
Avatar 6:21pm
Mayuko:

Sorry to hear about the ear, fred! I imagine you have a bit different sense of space from most of the people if it was since birth... Too bad about the headphone in any case.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:21pm
fred:

@Mayuko: I tend to agree, but I'm so biased. Beauty was a fantastic record, though it was in the early 90's. Such a wide range of music there, it really opened my mind at the time. I went to a signing instead of class that day, didn't know who he was, and that really changed my life, seriously
Avatar 6:24pm
Mayuko:

ah that's true, Beauty was pretty great, I think I heard Youssou N'Dour for the first time ever on that album.

My biggest problem with the Brooklyn Botanic sakura fest is that it is so unbelievably crowded. I'm glad it's a successful event, but I'd much rather visit on a quieter day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:31pm
fred:

I really think Beauty sowed the seeds for my later finding WFMU so appealing. Nothing to write home about by now, but it was key at the time
  6:31pm

(I always love their bonsai room, though.)

Dave B.:

I'm with ya Jeff g
Avatar 6:34pm
Mayuko:

Jeff, yah I remember it being very crowded but I have no complaint because luckily in the US, people don't get drunk outdoor. In Tokyo, it's the same amount of people but + they're all wasted and singing and all under the flowers!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:34pm
Webhamster Henry:

I user to live about 2 blocks from there. The fest was good for the Taiko Drums and other shows, yes VERY crowded! My son and I got separated from the rest of the family for an hour or so when he was there for his fourth birthday. Very stressful for them!

I liked that U Yee Nwe very much.

coelacanth:

Mayuko @6:24 -i bought "beauty" because it had Youssou N'Dour on it!
...i had a YMO album too,then, but didn't put 2+2 together and didn't even know Riuichi and that were connected!

Do you know Shizuku Aosaki? Her records are nowhere as great as she's live. She's a wonderful talent, but she's rare in the US

Now I wanna play something from Beauty some time soon, coelacanth, after all these beauty talk! Hello Doug!

That reminds me, fred, because that Asadoya Yunta was probably the most popular okinawa folk song in the main island, even my grandmother knew it - and she started to sing it along when she heard Beauty, I was surprised. Good memory.

oh, glad to have had you tuned in, geezerette, thank you! And thank you all for being here with me! Have a happy week and see you all next week.

"Chinsagu No Hana" is etched in my mind forever, I walked for miles to that tune along a highway after tutoring a woman I should have known despised me. I treasure that memory
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:54pm
fred:

Romance! I loved that song too. I'm so going into a blast from the past right now
Avatar 9:09pm
Mayuko:

Chinsagu No Hana is always good, in any version I've heard it's so simple and beautiful. I definitely will play something from Beauty soon! I do have many memories regarding that album personally too, some of them sweet, some bittersweet.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:55pm
fred:

I got a signed copy of Beauty, I didn't even know what I got at the time. I was so dumb. Still am, at least I know I am. I too have many personal memories about Beauty, more bitter than sweet, but all important, by now
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:18pm
fred:

Please play Chinsagu No Hana, your favorite version, it will mean a lot to me
