Thanks so much for introducing me to so much great music.

Have you thought about re-releasing the Grape Juice Stuff? His track on the comp is really fantastic.

Thanks again for your magazine. It’s good to know that you’re still writing.

Thanks for the nice comments and posting the MP3s. I was just thinking about the Grape Juice the other day. I have all of their recordings on cassette and they are amazing. Unfortunately Kiyokazu Murata seems to have disappeared.

Sean Parker currently lives in Australia. One of the members of Do Ri Ru is in Moga The Five Yen (also on the comp) who are pretty popular these days. I have no idea where Ziggy Atem is, probably in outer space.

I currently write for the Kansai Time Out, http://www.kto.co.jp I do a column called Hollywood Japan File, which looks at movies from around the world that have something to do with
Japan.

Take care
Matt Kaufman
