Hiroshima - East [1989]East Link 2At their best, Hiroshima have offered an adventurous and even visionary fusion of jazz, Japanese music, R&B, pop, and rock. On East, Hiroshima focus on both Asian-influenced pop-jazz and lightweight R&B-pop, generally making commercial radio airplay . While the insistent "Midtown Higashi" packs a bit of a punch and demonstrates their strength as composers. Hiroshima's founding members are keyboardist Dan Kuramoto (who also played shakuhachi), June Okida Kuramoto on koto (a key part of the group's sound), Johnny Mori on taiko drums, and Danny Yamamoto on drums, percussion, and taiko. Other additions include keyboardist Kimo Cornwell, bassist Dean Cortez, and singer Teri Koide (who was later succeeded by Kimaya Seward). Some of the musicians were descendants of Japanese Americans held in U.S. detention camps during World War II.Hiroshima - Essencial [2007]Essencial Link 2* Big Thanks 2 Leo from Smooth Jazz 4 Essencial *All track info is in ...

2008-05-04 06:51:00
Especially at a time when the recent release of photographs of Hiroshima’s aftermath by an unknown Japanese photographer reminds us anew that nuclear weapons are not intended for use on another state’s military, but its people. “‘Everywhere you turn, you hear it,’ said Savannah businessman Ed Feiler.” What, that Clinton will pull it out? That we’ll attack Iran? No, think local. Turns out that Georgians are speculating whether Sam Nunn, their Democratic senator for 25 years, will be invited to join a Barack Obama ticket. It’s true that Obama was recently endorsed by Nunn. But why pick a guy who will be 70 by the election? Yes, he’s two years younger than John McCain, but he’s been out of office 11 years. Larry Peterson of the Savannah Morning News explains: “Nunn’s experience and expertise, especially on national defense issues and foreign policy, would offset what some view as Obama’s weaknesses. . . . And...

Mount Misen
2008-04-21 14:03:00
??At 535m, Mount Misen is the highest point on the island of Miyajima. The island has been particularly sacred since ancient times, and for a long time humans were not permitted to live on it. One of the side-effects of this has been that the forests of Miyajima have never been logged; it is virgin forest, something quite rare in Japan. The forest and Mt. Misen are included within the World Heritage site along with the more famous Itsukushima Jinja.There are two ways to get to the top of Misen; walking, or ropeway and walking. The ropeway begins at the top of Momijidani Park, a ten minute walk from Itsukushima Shrine, or you can take the frequent free shuttle bus. In the fall the park is a blaze of maple leaves.A one-way ticket costs 1,000 yen, and the first leg up to Kayatani Station (367m) is by small car. The second and shorter leg is in much larger cars, and takes you up to Shishiiwa Station at 430m. There is a viewing platform here with fine views over the island, across to Hir...

Yamato Museum Kure Hiroshima
2008-04-16 04:15:00
????????When launched in 1940, the battleship Yamato was the biggest warship in the world. 263 meters long, with a displacement of 65,000 tonnes, she had numerous unique and innovative features, including the biggest naval guns in the world that fired 1.36 tonne shells from its 18.1 inch barrels, but it was also largely obsolete as the day of the battleship had passed to be replaced by aircraft carrier groups.The Yamato saw very little action, and was sunk by U.S. Navy aircraft in April 1945 on its final mission, a suicide mission to defend Okinawa that cost the lives of almost all its full complement of 3,000 crew.In 2005 the movie "Yamato" (Otoko-tachi no Yamato in Japanese) was released and was very popular. Like almost all Japanese World War II movies it focused on the suffering and sacrifice of Japanese, and not on their victims.In April 2005, on the anniversary of the sinking of the Yamato, a new museum opened in Kure, Hiroshima, once the largest naval shipyard in the Orient, ...
Miyajima
2008-04-05 04:39:00
??The cherry blossoms have arrived on Miyajima this week. While this UNESCO World Heritage Site is more famous for its displays of autumn colors, there are plenty of cherry blossoms to be seen along the streets and at Omoto Park and along the nature walk that winds its way along the hills just above the small town.The deer of Miyajima are well known, and to my mind are a lot more "genki" (lively) than the deer of Nara, probably owing to the fact that the Miyajima deer live in the forested mountains and only come down into the town to be fed by the hordes of tourists.From Hiroshima Station, take the JR Line to Miyajima-guchi. It costs 400 yen, and the ride takes about 25 minutes. From there you will take a short ferry ride to the island.Another option is to take street car line #2, which runs from Hiroshima Station past the Atomic Dome and on to Miyajima-guchi, the final stop. It costs 270 yen from Hiroshima, but takes more than an hour.If you are going to be traveling in and around ...
LIFE and Bikini Atoll: The Bomb as spectator sport
2008-04-04 19:28:00
Part four in a series. The terrible specter of nuclear annihilation was now clear in the American mind, a condition that LIFE acknowledged and addressed. But in the months that followed V-J Day an odd thing happened, as military testing of the new weaponry provided an opportunity for bomb-watchers to indulge their awe without having to confront the frightful context of war. In the estimation of President Truman, America was not only the most powerful nation on the planet, it was likely the most powerful nation in history (8/20/45, 32). If the bomb did possess apocalyptic potential, at least it could now be addressed within the relative calm that attends triumph, peace, and unchallenged superiority. In July 1946, the U.S. detonated a bomb over Bikini Atoll in the South Pacific, and the following issue of LIFE presented most Americans with their first images of the test. The five-page photo-essay, a marvel of symbolic complexity, begins in matter-of-fact fashion. Just before ?Mike...
War and Postwar: a look at LIFE and technology
2008-04-03 20:11:00
Part three in a series. In an age and a culture dominated by scientism, the word ?sample? tends to invoke the adjectival ?representative,? and I cannot begin to imagine culling a meaningful representative sample from LIFE?s 400-plus issues. Still, it seems important to devote a few pages to what happened with LIFE and technology between the Fort Peck Dam and Apollo 17. I will center this discussion on innovations and events that, from our perspective here at the end of the century, appear to have left significant marks on history. The Medical Morality Play LIFE?s coverage of medical technology began early and covered, through the decades, the research, development, and application of treatments for a variety of diseases and disorders afflicting humanity. Vivid, often grotesque photography illustrated everything from cancer treatment to brain and open heart surgery, and the magazine?s 1937 photo-essay on cancer demonstrated the optimism with which LIFE viewed technology of the med...

JR Kisuki Line
2008-02-13 16:06:00
???Japanese Rural rail lines. Part 1 JR Kisuki LineFor getting from A to B quickly and conveniently, Japan's Shinkansen and Express rail networks are second to none, albeit at a hefty price, but for those who actually enjoy traveling, for those who feel that the journey is at least as important as the destination, Japan's rural rail lines have much to offer.The trains travel at slow speed, allowing you the pleasure of taking in some wonderful scenery, and your fellow passengers are more likely to engage in conversation with you than on the commuter trains. The intimacy extends even further, as the trains literally pass through people's back yards, again affording glimpses of life quite different to that of the cities.Most of the rural lines are single track, and usually single carriage trains, and the downside is that they don't run very often, but with some judicious planning it's possible to spend days, or weeks, leisurely criss-crossing a less visited Japan in comfort.One su...

Hiroshima - Obon [2005]If you are a Hiroshima fan, this is a must. I have been a fan since their first album in 1979. This CD is soothing yet very upbeat with the Koto sounding "sweet" and exhilirating. The bass on this cd is thumpin'. My fav so far are China Latin and Pharoh. The 3rd cut is absolutely haunting. This will soon be a Hiroshima classic.This is an excellent compendium of smooth, mellow jazz and it shows off the group as never before. From the opening song "Swiss Ming" (with it's "Compared-To-What?" groove) to the final song "Heritage", this CD is all jazz!!!Hiroshima - Hiroshima [1979]From the opening infectious R&B groove(with a slight Santana feel) of the instrumental Lion Dance to June Kuramoto's gifted and talented playing of the Japanese koto instrument on the track Kokoro it is quite obvious this group was serious then as it is now.

Hiroshima - Little Tokyo [2007]Hiroshima are not so much a band but an institution nowadays in the USA, they symbolise the classic maxim, 'East Meets West' whereby the music of Asia is fused with the music of North America and Europe but also the fusing of cultures both old and new.On this new release , the Japanese Americans Dan and June Kuramoto, which form the basis of Hiroshima, continue with their tried and trusted formula of fusing the music of their present and past."Little Tokyo", which is named for a well known Asian neighborhood in Southern California, combines Asian, Latin American, African American and more influences into their compositions.There is an exotic dimension to this CD collection the defies definition. That it is one of Hiroshima's most creative releases to date is definite.Every performance shines with individuality, whether in solo or in group expression.Guest keyboardist and labelmate James K.

They only included one song with lyrics, "The Door Is Open," and it's the cream of the crop because this CD is mostly a showcase of Hiroshima's latest signature jazz sound. The instrumentals on this CD is the music style of Hiroshima that has kept me coming back for 15 years!Hiroshima - L.A.Los Angeles [1994]The CD begins and ends with two amazing instrumental tracks: "Voices" and "One World" which cannot be explained in words."One Fine Day" is the first vocal track speaking of hope and optimism of everything working out that makes even an evil person like me smile."Love and Understanding" a fine tune that shows how this band can deliver entertaining mellow grooves"Don't Let...

Miyajima Island (Itsukushima Shrine)
2007-09-10 20:16:00
???????Miyajima is a sacred island just off the coast of Hiroshima City and makes a great day trip from the city.The island is best known for Itsukushima Shrine and its massive torii gates that, depending upon the time of day, are partially under water. The shrine is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the island is one of Japan's ?three most scenic spots? (the other two being Matsushima, near Sendai; and Aminohashidate, which is on the Japan Sea in Kyoto Prefecture).The shrine was founded in the seventh century and then rebuilt in 1168?taking on the form that it still has?thanks to the generosity of warlord Taira no Kiyamori.Itsukushima Shrine is built on top of a dock, jutting into a bay. Though much closer to shore than the torii gate, the shrine itself is exposed to the elements; when the tide comes in waters lap at the giant poles supporting the shrine.The torii gate was also built in 1168 and is roughly 16 meters (50 feet) high. When the tide goes out, you can walk up to the fo...
