Why it says unknown artist and unknown album, I don't know. I need to figure out how to get an RSS feed and post this to iTunes and we'll need to do that with the Love in Translation song, "The Wishing Star" when the recording is finished. But it will be available on CD too.

Wendy Nelson Tokunaga “A delightful novel about love, identity, and what it means to be adrift in a strange land. This story of a search has an Alice in Wonderland vibe; when Celeste climbs down the rabbit hole, one can't help but follow along.”

There's a hyakuen shop in San Mateo but never knew about Daiso! Thanks for the update on J-Town. New People looks fun. I'll check it out next time I'm in town. I miss taiyaki & my other J-treats!

When I lived in Tokyo in the 1980s one of my favorite pastimes was observing the street fashion bursting all around me (and trying in my own way to emulate it). And every time I have visited Japan since (trips too numerous to count!), I still can’t get enough of it. ...
