‘14 Years Ago’ – News from Japanby Rob Howard |
The Accordions Worldwide news for March 23rd 1998 included a brief report of an accordion concert on board a street car in Tokyo, which presumably was an unusual event, albeit popular. We wonder who played, and if there was ever a repeat? The following week, Japanese accordion virtuoso Mie Miki, nowadays domiciled in Germany and continuing to be very active, performed in concert in Tokyo. ACCORDIONISTS PERFORM IN TOKYO STREET CAR - JAPAN Contributed by Izuru Shinmyo On Sunday March 8th at 1.30pm a concert entitled ‘Motoko and Sonora Accordion Concert’ was held in a Tokyo Street Car while it was running from Waseda to Sannowa Bridge and back to Waseda, Japan. Enthusiastic passengers enjoyed the entertainment in this unusual venue.
