In this video, I talk about what my day-to-day life was like after moving to Japan, some differences between the two main schools of traditional koto music, my experience staying at a “lodging facility” when I got Covid, and more. I also answer some viewer questions about the cost of living in Japan and travel.

I've started a casual video series called "Diary of an American Koto Musician in Japan" where I talk about my life here in Japan. I'll be uploading these every couple of weeks, doing a short Q&A at the end of each video. Please give it a watch and a like. And submit your questions about Japan and music in the comments.
