MAKINTO - Japan

August 1999

After I finished the rhythm tracks and my vocals for the new Godiego recording, Makinto arrived in Japan. And as soon as he arrived from the airport, Mickie asked him to play one piano solo on the new album.

The "Battle Of Flute" tour with Rie Akagi. began in Kobe on Aug 26th . There were two member variations of the group for the tour.

Rie & Makinto's hands

It was nice, after having talked about Hayama and Kamakura with Makinto for some years, that he could see another one of Kamakura's spectacular sunsets. That's Mt Fuji.
