I think fuckinstuff is right. At least about the "not all the coincidence theorist can be wrong" I mean yeah we know many of the 19 "hijackers" ended up being alive after 9/11, but you know when you do that crazy Islamic super killing stuff, sometime you can have an out of body experience. You know, like, maybe when the planes hit the buildings, maybe their soul flew out of their bodies and landed back in Jordon or Isreal or somewhere where their parents could contact them by phone. I'm not a coincidence theorist, so I don't know how many coincidences it takes all in one day to make the whole house of cards fall apart, but at least we should admit it's possible right?

OK anyway, when are you gonna play in Hawaii?

Listen bub, your song about 9/11? WhatTHEflick? Didn't you watch faux news? They said anyone who believes that the US government had somtin to do with 9/11 R unamerican. Are you unamerican? I know you're hiding out in Japan and all, dodging your critics in the good ol' US of the world, but still don't mean you got to point out all the inconsistancies in the 9/11 conspiracy theory in one damn song. Save it for a few songs next time. One song can be about magic flying passports and one song can be about disappearing planes. And the next could be about how the same scenerio was being rehearsed the same day that it happened. All those coincidence theorist can not all be wrong. Maybe a million coincidences can really happen all in one day that the only 3 steel structured builiding in history can all fall due to fire in the same day. What I'm trying to say is have so fricken imagination for Christ sakes.

"Precept for Brass Band" by Daisaku Ikeda

January 6, 2008

There are no boundaries in religious philosophy. Humankind shares equally the desire for peace and happiness, and religious philosophy is the only means by which this desire can be answered. Likewise, there are no boundaries in the field of music. Music is the flower of culture, a language common to the entire world. It is a thing of beauty sought by all people. Recalling the history of humanity, we discover that a race of people or nation attained happiness and peace only if there existed a sound philosophy of life. The practice of a great ideology, like the current of a great river, becomes the high ambition and rhythm of that nation. The same holds true of music. The beauty and energy of music has been the source of a nation’s growth. By the same token, what does the growth of the Soka Gakkai indicate? Needless to say, it reveals the unprecedented growth of the human race, and the construction of a nation having the highest culture and means for peace. Accordingly, I believe that the sound of the Brass Band, gushing from the depth of pure faith, can become the mighty thrust needed to achieve this historical undertaking. Presently, the music that is being presented to the people is void of direction and emotion. Music today is being presented merely for the sake of a few; it is for those who seek stimulation and pleasure of the moment. Modern music is slowly deteriorating. It has lost the spirit of humanism and no longer has the power to inspire vitality and hope for the future. Music often determines the direction in which the youth of a nation will travel. How unfortunate that the level of modern music has led youth on the path to delinquency. When music plays such a role, its functions must be called evil. Sound the clarion of a new world, and with the banner of the construction of the Third Civilization waving proudly, let us brace ourselves firmly with the Buddhist Democracy, and courageously crush this evil. Having great hopes for the future and with arms linked together, let us develop a mammoth musical movement. For the sake of the general public, let us sow the seeds for a great new culture. It is my request that all of you, without uttering a word, will be able to move your listeners to deep emotion. Through your performance, I hope that you will move people to jubilation, and inspire them to attain their human revolution. Together with the astounding growth of the Soka Gakkai, our Brass Band has also undergone rapid advancement. A strong foundation has been established here in Japan, as well as in all other parts of the world. However, our future is of the greatest significance. There is no doubt that in the very near future, one year’s growth of the lay organization will be equivalent to ten year’s growth of other organizations. The Brass Brand will advance in like manner. To the general public you are being called upon to reveal the true picture of Kosen-rufu. You must also give the general public the opportunity to recognize correctly and without prejudice, the true mission of the Soka Gakkai. Furthermore, as pioneers of a great new Civilization, you must contribute to the enhancement of world culture. You must complete the mission of the Brass Band within the organization, inspiring millions of boddhisattvas and giving our fellow members hope and inspiration to overcome their sufferings. In conclusion, I would like to say that your spirit should transcend vanity, as well as musical techniques and ability. The sound of the Brass Band should be the rhythm of faith. It must roar with the sound of passion, as if to crush the angry waves of the ocean. I urge that you advance with the confidence that your performances will penetrate the hearts of all people. With the rise of a great nation and a dynamic generation, people look forward to new talents and the highest standard of music. I sincerely hope that you will rise to these challenge and spread your music to all corners of the world.

I have been getting e-mails from you. Now that I have seen your photo, I know who you are. I didn't know your Japanese name, Harada. You have been to my house for Toso and discussion meetings. I live close to the Crummett's. I am happy to see you are on the road and doing things you enjoy. I remember seeing you at Borders in Brea.

We had the great benefit of being able to buy a second home in Keaau, Hawaii. You and your guys are welcome to visit anytime. Keep in touch.

Good luck for your continued success and great experience in life.

I feel very honored to hear and see you do your music now. Thank you so much for being in this world to become the man that you are today. I hope to see you in concert in the USA and meet your beautiful wife. Please let me know when you are here.

Hello Timothy,
I was doing some googling about booking gigs in Sendai and stumbled upon your page. I'm from Knoxville, TN and I'm planning on visiting my girlfriend, who lives in Sendai, in May. I'd like to try to book a couple of gigs while I'm there, but I haven't had much luck through the internet. I play in a band here in the states, Medford's Black Record Collection. We do kind of an Americana/Bluegrass/Folk rock sort of thing. You can check us out at www.myspace.com/medfordsblackrecordcollection Of course it would have to be just a solo gig to book over there. If you could give me some suggestions and/or contact info for live music venues, I would be very grateful. Any advice would be great. Hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks,
Matt Foster

Thank you Gary. Well my older brother, Adonis VanCampen is an Accountant in LA too, but he calls himself "The Accountant from Hell!" so it more likely we know each other from SGI, since I've been a member all of my life in Southern California and I graduated from Soka University.

But funny thing, I was checking out your website www.garymark.net, to see if I could job my memory after seeing a picture (you don't have one on your website though!) and instead I put www.garymark.com and too bad your not the later Gary Mark from Canada that makes huge kites, those are some bomb kites. Man if I flew one of those in Japan, I would get all the attention in the world. I can put a big advertising on it for my concert, much better than those annoying trucks with the load speakers around here. I don't know what they hell they are saying, but they are sure to wake me up every weekend when I want to sleep in.

My brother knows some people in the radio industry in Japan. Maybe you can connect with them. We'll try to get info and let you know.

Remember us...friends of Fathan, our son Russell used to idolize you and your playing. He now plays the clarinet but wants to learn all winds and guitar.

Who knows how long it will be until I really get the tour off the ground in Sendai. Touring in Japan is the most expensive tour in the world. Damn, why didn't I go somewhere were it was cheaper to travel. It's cheaper to fly back to the US, than it is to fly across Japan. Go Figure???!!!??

Bob Downe

August 21, 2006

Yo TH,

In my limited experience I found plenty of (cheap) Japanese cameras that are bilingual.

Question, if you are "currently on tour in Japan" then why do you need medical insurance, rent, school party funds, school lunches, airconditioner, rice cooker, heater, and DVD players?

Hey Elvin. Cool I checked out your website. Yes, Daisakus Ikeda's "Precepts for Brass Band" influenced my life profoundly at about age 10 when I joined the SGI brass band in Los Angeles.

I'm still trying in every way to make this writing my motto in life and music.

I should post the writing on my website in it's entirety like you do, perhaps I will in the future. But for now everyone can go to your website to read it.

I'll keep up the good fight to "though [my] performance move people to jubilation and inspire them to attain their human revolution."

Elvin Siew

I thought so too, until I saw all the deductions for medical insurance, rent, school party funds, school lunches, etc, etc.... However, now that the two weddings are over and paid for, I think you're right, I should buy a digital camera. But I want to buy one in the US when I go back, because everything is cheaper there and I want one that isn't in Kanji, so I can figure out how to use it. I still don't even know how my Japanese, airconditioner, rice cooker, heater, and DVD players work. But first my wife's got to find a job, since she quit her job to move from Niigata to Sendai and I would rather use my money to pay to record my newest 15 songs, I have yet to record and to buy all the musical equipment I had to sell to move to Japan, like mixer board, PA, monitors, and speaker. Now, I would prefer to put new songs on the website over new pictures. Everyone can see what I look like at my weekly concerts.

Bob Downe

July 7, 2006

I thought ALT's made 300,000yen a month. Surely that's enough to pay for food and a cheap digital camera?

Timothy Harada

Wait is this the real Bob Downe.com or is it Mark Trevorrow aka Bob Downe?

When are you going to put me on your show?

The ucla.edu email you left came back!?

Timothy Harada

July 3, 2006

Thank you Bob. Yes all of us starving musicians need a day job. I'm so starving I can't even afford a digital camera, so even though I've been doing a lot of gigs in Japan, the only digital photos I have are the one other people take and send me.
