Mayumi / TOKU and Itoh 88

If not because of itoh-San , we won't connect today , I am hosting lunch for artist as usual - TOKU a recording artist from Sony Music Japan and YUMI - who we met at body and soul many years ago . It connect all of us together .

 Lunch is good , and the good part is my coffee work Mayumi from 3:15-4:50 . And I learn the last 3 years about my good friend 88.

 88 strives for his label and artist , on his last 2 years , the album sales and gig can't balance his financial situation and add up his health issue - stomach cancer make him spend almost all his saving , Mayumi told me on his last year , he borrow money from relatives and now his wife Teoko is struggle in financial - I felt so sad when hear it and thinking how to make 88 label a living thing to us and his spirits can live with those he love and help before and this include us.

 Today in Tokyo , a memorial event taking place while we are gathering in Taipei, I will go and see him next Spring - January hopefully .
