"Take the A Train"

Few know Japanese loved Jazz in the prewar.
Mrs Fumiko Yatsu (1918-2009) was a Japanese first female jazz drummer since 1934.
Her dream was to play in New Orleans.
It came true in 1999 when she was 81.

Fumiko and her girls band circa 1934.

Instead of war we should have battle of the bands. Preferably marching bands so they are too tired to fight.

Agreed.

In reality, JMSDF joins the allied patrol in the area.

Korean way to enjoy life.
It was not difficult for me to make friends in Korea if only we had booze.

Welcome ceremony at Samjiyeon Airport in NK on September 20 to climb Mt. Baekdu.

SK leader doesn't understand the ceremony rule.
NK leader seems to be embarrased as this is not a single instance.
The former is a leader for 5 years but the latter is for life-long.
This shows a grade difference in the history there.

Arirang - a song to unite Korean minds.
They have reached a point of no return as this song came up.
