The primary goal for Tokyo trip is to pay visit to Taeko San who is the wife of my best fried Itoh who passed away on dec 2015.
Yes , Taeko San confirms Itoh share I am one of his best friend - it's a great beginning .
We meet at 3 eagle train station - with Aki accompany us . We go for a traditional japanese lunch and during lunch , she cried and cried , my word go her :
- Itoh San will be happier if she is happy
- if she is not happy , he will be sad as he can not help her right now
- Itoh San will be happy to see we connect and knowing each other more
- if without Itoh San , we won't be able to expend our friendship and do more
Taeko San is a strong woman : she was a recording artist before and release some album before , retire from music business, she become the secretary to Saito San : the famous Japanese producer and get go know Itoh San : getting married by 1988.8.8 .
Taeko San currently running 88 label - a jazz specialize label ; do a weekly sigh languages inteoretor for prime minister Japan , conduct volunteer work in school snd hospital and she run marathon : no practicing just run and finish her first full marathon - amazing willpower .
She commit to do the Jazz festival annually as legacy to Itoh's will - I commit to come this July and will seek way to find long time sponsor for this will .
We spend 4 hours together and a codify to Aki : we must be the few ( or only fried ) tovisit his house -- a family with music and inspiration . The 5 minute video shows us the young adult Itoh - a very handsom boy and the last 3 months become pass : suffering significantly . Love is the attachment you hardly can handle .. We are humans
Itoh San survived with great Taeko , 4 cats and 2 dogs -- Taeko San keep all his viyal still..
