Aural Moon conference in Japan

Yesterday we Japanese Moonies (kazuhiro and DamoXt7942) have had a wonderful rendezvous in Tokyo so here's a report of this meeting.
There are maybe more Japanese Moonies than we think, and we wanna say let's get some conferences and make some discussions to all AM members near us.

On Saturday, January 10th at 8AM Eastern Standard Time...in Japan it was very cold but clear night.
Only for four hours' movement leaving Okayama for tokyo, I rode an express in a hurry after work.
Cold and strong wind blew and it was a bit hard attack for me after the movement but no matter.
Yea...naturally no matter...because it was our first rendezvous in Tokyo. What a fantastic night!

Arriving at the Yurakucho station, our meeting could come soon. It was no need I wore a jacket printed "Damo" on my front side.
Kazu and I, could easily find each other. I suppose we both should have an AM aura.
Kazu was a nice guy like ME (), and I should beg his pardon he could take even two hours for the rendezvous because he was very busy to take care of his new baby.
I suggest this was the first Japanese AM conference. Folks, is it correct?

In an underground bar I've often visited, we made Cheers and drank some whisky. (Ah, of course, my faves.)
Kazu might be a little bewildered with the atmosphere of the underground bar but soon could become familiar.

His knowledge of music was broader than mine and it was very amazed we could go into the progressive rock world in the same way.
Once in Japan there was a collection of progressive rock records released by King Records and the collection had many kinds of progressive rock artists and albums.
Many, many CDs were released for a short time...P.F.M., Osanna, Atoll, Banco, Heldon, Museo, Celeste, Cherry Five...
In King Records there was a great salesman and prog-reviewer. His name was Hiroshi Takami.
We laughed and laughed that we both were INGENIOUSLY suggested by him and bought lots of progressive rock albums...and that was our beginning.
It was very interesting but only natural we both were very surprised and shocked at the greatness of Atoll's "L'Araignee-Mal" on our first listening.

Sadly, we could make some discussions about progressive rock and Aural Moon for a very short while...only two hours, because we met about 10PM Japan Standard Time.
We promised revisiting and re-meeting there and said goodbye.
Midnight in Tokyo it was colder and colder...

Thank you Kazu san and see you next time, and if possible, let's go to Mecca of progressive rock together.
