Gagaku

The music that was played at the wedding is called Gagaku 雅楽, ancient court music from the Edo period and very beautiful.
I got a CD with is music and to listen to it is fascinating...the artist apparently is a very modern young guy, Togi Hideki, and well known in Japan.






Forgot to tell you that in Fukuoka, when you walk back on the street at night you see small billboards advertising girls and about every other 100 meters.
They have stickers on them, depicting the girls and a telephone number. It's all very illegal but then again, what isn't here in Japan.
