Japanese Beach Girls is the creation of two artists living in Japan.
Sachiko a Japanese woman and Tommy an American man who discovered their art surprisingly more...similar even though raised thousands of miles apart. They have joined their passion and share some of their digital art on Live Video when they are not busy joining their passions. Thank you both for being a friend and sharing some of your work with me so I could put together this video. I had a great time piecing it together.
Hiroshima is an American jazz fusion band formed in 1974 by Sansei Japanese American Dan Kuramoto (wind instruments and band leader), June Kuramoto (koto), Johnny Mori (percussion and taiko), & Danny Yamamoto (keyboards and drums). Named for the Japanese city of Hiroshima they are best known for the fusing of Japanese music and other forms of world music into their playing. Their early jazz-pop R&B sound gave them a huge following among the African American community. The highlight of Hiroshima's career was being the opening act for the Miles Davis 1990 world tour. Since then, despite moving towards new age music, Hiroshima continues to gain a wider audience for their music.
June Kuramoto is the only founding member who is not American-born. She was born in Saitama-ken and moved to Los Angeles at a young age.
The band was featured in a 1976 documentary titled Cruisin' J-Town, directed by Duane Kubo. Their music was featured in the 1989 film Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
