I always had a dream to tell my story to the Japanese audience. I remember people in Osaka Japan shouting out that they wanted to hear more from the guy with the guitar. I felt the love wherever I went. Wow! Now I have a chance to fulfill a dream and people of Japan have a chance to hear and see the background person move to the front of the stage and perform FOR YOU!”
