My friend Shu Yamaguchi often posts gig guides for upcoming shows she is doing. Shu is a jazz singer and a talented pianist and she performs fairly regularly in live houses, which are like a cross between a cafe and performing arts bar or bistro. Nadia and I once shared a gig with her at Starting Over in Kobe and we also wrote the English language lyrics to some of her tunes.

English gets a little bent wherever it gets taught in Asia and Japan is certainly no exception. To give you an idea I am re-posting the flyer for Shu's show of the 22nd January at MJ Cafe. I didn't have the heart to correct her - bless her!
