‘14 Years Ago’ – News from Japan

Mie MikiThe 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.
