A perfect Saturday in Nagoya. Temperatures reached 81F with nary a cloud in the sky and a slight breeze. Perfect for checking out the Kakuozan Spring Festival near downtown Nagoya. The festival itself was fun, complete with music and street vendors selling mostly artsy goods. But the real treat was a cover of Billy Joel's 1983 smash-hit "Uptown Girl." Those of you who know me, know that I'm a sucker for 80's music, so when I heard those oh-so-catchy and familiar Owowowowowowowowowowowowowowo's, I had to turn and make a B line for the stage. It's one thing to hear a Billy Joel cover. Quite another to hear it from a Japanese singer.
Turns out the guitarist also had one of the stands amongst the street vendors selling, what else, soap-on-a-rope.
